Didn't they say it would be the Monday after next? Which would be pointless tbh as that would be 2 in a row where nothing/very little gets done.

Are you saying that 26 July is a Bank Holiday?

 

[PITA]

Because you’re a crusader mate.

Thanks sweetlips.

No 19th to coincide 'freedom day'. That's if they go for given a BH though.

Has there been talk of that?

So you haven't read the article yet proclaim to cast judgement on it anyway? That's not great. It seems like he was just an (American) father taking his Danish wife and daughter to the game. The Economist don't tend to cover sports matches and nor do they engage in tittle tattle. That a Danish lady seems to have suffered a similar ordeal is also overlooked.

Not passing judgment Bruce, but an opinion. Which turned out to be wrong and I've already acknowledged that.

I stand by the rest of the post though. All clubs and nations have their thuggish element and the majority of the English Wembley support during this tournament do not fall into that category.

I think this thread needs to be in Current Affairs.

In football, there is a very fine line between success and failure, it’s called the Scottish Border………

Some people think it's Escape to Victory.

It's been reported in several places. Here is one:

U.K. Leaves Door Open to Bank Holiday If England Wins Euro 2020

The U.K. government held out the prospect of an extra bank holiday if England wins soccer’s European Championship on Sunday.

Edit: don't worry about the robot message, the link works.

It kind of makes sense too when you think about arranging a parade etc. that it's on the day restrictions are lifted.

when France refused to join USA's and UK's ill-conceived Iraq 'incursion', the restaurant in the Capitol Building in D.C changed the name of their menu item from French fries to Freedom fries
