McDonald's fans in Hemel must wait a little bit longer for Return of the Mac.
That is despite Hemel Hempstead being home to the McDonald's distribution hub.

Tantalisingly, six are just across the border in Bedfordshire with five down the M1 in Luton and Dunstable re-open for a mixture of McDelivery and Drive-Thru services.
A statement from the company said: "These Drive Thru pilot restaurants were all chosen as they are close to one of our distribution centres as we continue to prepare our supply chain for reopening.
"Thank you for your continued patience as we slowly but safely reopen our restaurants."
McDonald's opened 15 pilot restaurants for delivery only and promised some drive-thrus would open today. But they kept mum about the locations until 10am — an hour before they were due to open.
