A national holiday Monday if we win?

[Ric]

They could announce it before that it wil happen if we win - it is four days away and there is huge clamour for it from what I can see. I asked could it happen. I believe it couid. Maybe only a small chance but yes I believe it a possibility. Hope that helps

Do your recall an ex labour leader asking for a bank holiday if we won the World Cup? Hope that helps too.

Pretty sure he wasn’t advocating it being the very next day, with a decision made late on a Sunday night dependent on the result.

I have just checked and I believe he was.

As i said it doesn’t need to be made Sunday night and Mr corbyn called for it after the quarter finals of the last World Cup so approximately 4 to 6 days earlier than my thread discussing the possibility like for like?

No but they could decide that the formal victory parade (Friday 16th or Monday 19th maybe) is.

But I doubt it to be honest.

That seems a bit more likely tbf.

I'm sure Johnson will look for something to look popular.


It'll more likely be an unofficial national sick day regardless of the result.

as I said it doesn’t need to be made Sunday night.

You can’t realistically tell businesses that Monday might be a bank holiday, but they won’t know until late on Sunday evening for definite.

I’ve retired, could he just bang me 10 quid ?

More likely a three month, tier 10 lockdown, announced with a minute to go before midnight. Cheering, being happy, and vigorous movement is spreading the new Timbuktu variant covid particles through the air, which are 90% more deadly and infectious than the previous 100 variants.

Sure many businesses can't not know if they are opening the next day or not with 11 hours notice.

Johnson will be scrambling around looking to bury some bad news before then.
