A Bank Holiday?

[boatshed bill]

Apparently, some want one if we win the Euros.
Daft, I call it.

[claretonthecoast1882]

I imagine were we to win it a high number won't make work on Monday.

Good luck to them if they can afford to lose a days pay or use it as a holiday, own your own hangover.

[Silkyskills1]

Perhaps they should have played the final on a Saturday.

For those who think there is more to life than money I am sure they will own it.

There is more to life than money but I’ve yet to find a way of bills paying for themselves, let me know when you find a way I’m in.

If you find yourself unable to pay your bills after having 1 day off work it is probably your lifestyle that needs adjusting.

[martin_p]

If they do decide on a bank holiday it won’t be Monday. The result may not be decided until close to 11pm, too late to do anything for Monday.

[Claretincraven]

It’s the same with schools. Some are allowing kids to come in late on Monday. Our local primary is having an enrichment day today. It involves playing with nerf guns etc on a playing field. The interruption to education due to covid was going to be life changing for kids they said. Let’s have a day off to play with nerf guns then.

Every penny counts, it’s whether you find it important enough to make sacrifices for, it’s down to individual personal choice & everyone’s different.

Possibly the England team bus

[beddie]

I hope we win of course I do but a Bank Holiday is not needed. There are more important things for us as a nation to think about at the moment.

A sense of responsibility it’s called, back in the day you buried a relative in the morning you was back in on the afternoon or at the very least the next day, like I said everyone’s different, if I was a boss running my own business I’d be dishing warnings out or going down the disciplinary route for bogus sick days & timekeeping.

If you were your own boss and any member of staff didn't turn in would you decide the punishment by spinning the wheel ?

Verbal Warning
Written warning
Docked a day's pay
Sacked
Electric chair
Hanging

Plenty of businesses are taking the view that it's better to be shut for the morning, or entire day, than it is to expect people to rock up sober.

I've also seen a school saying any child the turns up later in the morning won't be marked as absent/late cos of the occasion

[beddie]

And rightly so. A child’s education is far more important.

Back in the day we had kids down the mines and people who didn’t own land knew their bloody place.

[Devils_Advocate]

Ive got the morning off but our Director messaged out today that he's not expecting anyone in work before 10am

[Quickenthetempo]

Most bosses are giving their staff the day off and planning work schedule around it rather than people ducking and letting customers down.

One day off is better than people faking Covid positives and 20 people having 10 days off.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I'm hoping plenty of people near me have the day off and order lots of mcds breakfasts Monday am
Last Sunday Morning was pretty busy, as was Thursday.

[Dyched]

The only reason I’d allow adults the day off or start later is to allow that to coincide with children having the day off or starting school later.

But letting “adults” have the day off because they get into such a state where they are not fit to work the day off is, pathetic.

[COBBLE]

I'd rather give a bank holiday the day there were no temporary traffic lights in Burnley.

[Tribesmen]

Somewhere did this happen before as i seem to recall when Australia won the Americas Cup in the 80s something was said at the time . I do remember them saying that they were going to run a tractor over the top of it and call it the Australia's plate .............

You’ve either misread that or completely blown up your own brain

You’re one miserable sod

I bet you're fun at parties.

[claret2018]

Our glorious leader was publicly considering it because he likes to be seen to do things that he thinks will go down well with his voters, regardless of considerations around logistics and practicalities.

It was never going to happen.

[Dyched]

I bet you're fun at parties.

Imagine having to have alcohol to have fun and enjoy football.

[claretonthecoast1882]

I bet you're fun at parties.

Are you sure ?

[gandhisflipflop]

Imagine having to have alcohol to have fun and enjoy football.

Imagine thinking people are pathetic for wanting to drink alcohol as part of a national celebration.

Now don’t start making things up to make yourself look like a bit of “lad”.

The only person I see making things up is you.

"Imagine having to have alcohol to have fun and enjoy the football"

Not one person said they couldn't enjoy the fun or football without a drink.

[Dark Cloud]

It strikes me that a decision on this, whether it's by individuals or firms or even government etc will have to be made well before 8 p.m. Sunday, but then that's making a decision on the assumption we'll win it. Some people are going to look a bit silly if we lose and it's all rather flat and England declared a bank holiday for coming a poor second in the Euros!!

[pompeyclaret]

Back on topic, imagine the bank holiday will be in a week or so? Open bus parade? After the 19th when restrictions lifted?

If the Italiains win, do we think Dominos/ pizza places will try and use it as an advertising gimmick - to say sorry for winning, have the runner up special promotion....

[gandhisflipflop]

I’m a family man, and that is who I will be celebrating with. Some like a drink, some don’t. It’s each to their own and certainly won’t be the ones judging those that do. If you’ve never had a few drinks and had one too many fair enough but you’d be in the minority. Lighten up

[beddie]

You’ve either misread that or completely blown up your own brain

Yes I think I’ve misread the word “won’t” instead of “will”.

[boatshed bill]

My first thought had little to do with alcohol abuse. I was thinking more on the lines that if we are to have another bank holiday (and we could do with more) we should be able to find a better reason than winning a football match.
It also occured to me that this could put extra pressure on the team. Remember Beckham getting death threats for getting sent off? Imagine the bile if a player should miss a vital penalty.

I don’t think Dominos will have the gall to affiiate themselves with Italy.

A sobering reminder if you think skiving off your work to attend a match is a good ideahttps://uk.yahoo.com/sports/news/meet-d ... 0070.html

She's fortunate that she's got other work to fall back on, but not everybody will be so lucky.

I have to say it does seem harsh sacking her, but then if she left the company shorthanded I can see their POV also.

[Jakubclaret]

If you find yourself unable to pay your bills after having 1 day off work it is probably your lifestyle that needs adjusting.

It’s not just that, it’s not simple, the consequences of having 1 day off could lead to dismissal say for example if you are already on a final written for your attendance or some sort of a purge is on the way due to shortage of demand, you are almost guaranteeing your name at the top of a list, so in that possible worse casebook scenario you are effectively well & truly in the excrement, especially if you have nothing to fall back on & for some people it’ll happen as sure as eggs.

[Fenwick]

Surely most bosses will take the common sense view and expect people to be late in ? I know I will be because, win or lose, I will be very very drunk!

[Billy Balfour]

I'm sure companies will have no problems in coping with a Monday bank holiday announced at 11pm on a Sunday.

[boatshed bill]

Why should they?
I imagine it costs a very large sum to open on a Monday morning on time.

[Fenwick]

Good will, morale, empathy ?

[mealdeal]

And rightly so. A child’s education is far more important.

Sounds about right. Kids education has been unnecessarily thrown in the bin over the last 18 months - hundreds of thousands off isolating, schools shut for months on end and now the boomers are coming for them again, claiming that missing an hour and a half of school, to enjoy an event that is every bit as culturally important as a royal wedding or whatever will somehow ruin them, is frankly ridiculous but not surprising.

[boatshed bill]

So would you expect a car factory to allow it?
Or Amazon UK?
