    You would hope that ALL establishments would do the same, given the rarity of the event, should it come about.
    The bigger shops can only trade for 6 consecutive hours, on a Sunday, so they could close at three, (I would say 3.30 but there are always those selfish people who shop to the last minute with no regard for shop staff going home late as a result) and maybe come to an agreement with local authorities, to open early. Unless the 10.00 opening time is ensconced in law.
    Lidl depot has done it’s best for the shifts that start at 12.00, letting them start early and take extended breaks to watch the England games, in the canteen, so long as they complete their hours.
    Given the number of Polish workers, I’m surprised they didn’t do the same for them, when they were playing.

    I'm with you there. All this confidence makes me less confident. It's great to be in the semi-final...that's an achievement....of course it would be even better if...…….:emoticon-0127-lipss

    I think everyone is far too confident that we will sweep Croatia as side so easily!

    I don't think anyone seriously thinks Croatia will be an easy game, technically, they are a very good side with more star players than England.
    Everyones just enjoying riding the crest of this wave and getting carried away is part of the fun. We've got to revel in this! It doesn't happen very often!!

    Exactly, it is not over confidence, it is hope.

    My Wednesday plan:

    Finish work at 7am,
    Go and take my lad to the park for a couple of hours and have a sing song,
    Go home to try (and fail) to get a good sleep,
    Get up, head to a mates house to watch the mighty England reach the WC Final,
    Come back to work, wind up some Welsh not606 fans :bandit:

    Abuse @fatletiss out of jealousy for going to the final when I can't <wah>

    It all depends on the match ticket. Without that nothing happens.
