I've no appetite for drone deliveries.. just walk to chipper

I'M no economics expert, lads. But I'm willing to wager we may be losing the run of ourselves when we're paying for mini-helicopters to air-drop our sweet and sour chicken and rice.

Like, it was bad enough when people started hiring Deliveroo riders to go down the local Centra for a chicken fillet roll, Lucozade and a pint of milk.

Unless you've recently suffered a severe spinal injury, you could surely get up off your lazy arse and stroll down yourself?

But now we have drones flying over parts of Dublin, picking up the Chinese takeaway or the kebab and chips and flying it directly to people's front doors.

This comes with the promise of having your meal delivered in “less than three minutes” — like families are facing some sort of life or death spice bag situation or the kids will die of starvation without an emergency air drop of chicken nuggets.
