Pete Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Having just heard that we need to have placed our orders before 4pm with suppliers. Considering how quiet the phones are I'm sat here wondering just how much this football bollocks is costing us? There must be millions and millions lost in business due to staff skiving, places shutting down, orders not being placed etc. etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
how_supra Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Not to mention the mayhem its going to cause on the roads tonight as people speed home trying to catch most of the football game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

how_supra Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 well technically its once every two years if you include the European Cup? But yes you are right. Stop being so bloody british. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 well technically its once every two years if you include the European Cup? But yes you are right. Stop being so bloody british. TECHNICALLY that's the European Championships, not the European Cup. The European Cup was elite club competition which was adapted into the Champion's League Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hogmaw Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 Radio 5 said that today was the most produ#ctive in uk history! Everyone working harder than usual cos they want to knock off early, and they will always make up lost time at a later date. Add the feelgood factor of an England win and the morale boost for the country could not be better... still moaning?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian C Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 Never mind the lost productivity, what about the cost in rioting, damage, looting, wasting police resources by needing 20,000 of them to keep all the supporters in check, the inevitable injuries and deaths that result from the fans fighting and rioting, the health service load from this... It all adds up. Yeah, it's in Germany but you get what I mean. I went home at 4pm yesterday because everyone else buggered off. I didn't even know the result until 10pm when a friend told me (I'd forgotten about it). Can't wait until a good car race is on at 5pm or so, I'm off home early for that and it must be allowed if people can skive off work for a footie match - and, as a bonus, car races don't usually degenerate into violence on the streets -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
