Particularly, the ceramic tea pot that the tea was served in. He was also impressed by the amount of other treats available at the McCafe area – with cookies and treats that he couldn’t even name.

“I just expected it to be a regular takeaway tea, you know. It’s a peppermint tea at McDonald’s. This is like a five star hotel tea bag at McDonald’s.”

“You know why we would never have this in the US”, he asked about the tea pot. “It’s because we would all steal them and take them home. I’m thinking about doing it here in Malta.”

Apr 16 2025

Responding to a parliamentary question tabled by PN MP Mark Anthony Sammut, Minister for Transport Chris Bonett reported that 21,203 vehicles were registered and licensed last year (2024).

Of these, 18,244 were Maltese whereas 2,959 were foreigners (of both EU & Non-EU origin).

The Minister specified that it is not possible to identify which of those issued for foreign drivers were EU or Non-EU as the information is not collected during the registration.

The amount in 2024 shows a decrease in vehicle registrations, with the year 2023 seeing 24,403 vehicles in total registered.

Of these, 18,853 were for Maltese whereas 5,550 were for foreigners.

The data goes back to 2018, when a total of 27,124 vehicles were registered, with 23,953 were for Maltese and 3,171 for foreigners.

Strong Early Morning Earthquake Felt In Malta

Apr 16 2025

Maltese, along with people across Sicily and Calabria, reportedly woke up jolted at around 3:30am after tremors hit, originating from the Ionian Sea.

Weather page ‘It-Temp Madwarna’ reported that, thankfully, no damages were reported from the 4.9 magnitude earthquake.

The weather page reported how it took place at a depth of 7 miles and was felt primarily in the northeast of the Maltese islands.

Commenters reported differently, with some saying that they were woken up by the tremors whereas others did not feel a thing.

Did you feel it?
