For the multiple millions of economically inactive Brits each day is a bank holiday!

 
By Stanley Collymore  
 
By all means fulsomely celebrate  
and proudly mark the victory of  
England, if indeed there's one,  
in the UEFA Football Finals as it's really  
only to be obviously actually expected.  
But, to award the entire country with a  
rather impromptu bank holiday I think  
not! Realistically it is a football game;  
and yes a game of sport, distinctly by  
quite highly paid participants, not the  
crucial breakthrough or evidently the  
equally essential discovery, of a long  
urgently sought after cure, for two of  
Britain's very principal, human killers:  
diabetes and unquestionably cancer.  
Furthermore, we already very simply  
rather irrefutably, have enough bank  
holidays in Blighty and clearly these  
football players are obviously doing  
what they're quite handsomely paid  
to do. And evidently, rather contrary  
to all that, not everybody is actually  
quite irrevocably an ardent football  
fan! Which basically isn't the same,  
as to haughtily assume, or say that  
they obviously then, don't generally  
care or want their country, England  
to distinctively unquestionably win.

Author's Remarks:  
Clear and sensible objections to a bank holiday being given, stem on the actual and realistic premise that the last thing that small firms want, is to lose a day's production while still having to pay their staff for not working!  
 
A literally commonsensical approach in marked contrast to an obviously, simply banal and unquestionably totally idiotic, and equally, purely hubristic one!  
 
The immediately aforementioned remarks of mine aside the plethora of layabout English dole recipients and their other UK allies, in tandem with those who quite reluctantly on their part have got, because they haven’t convincingly appropriate excuses not to get off their likemindedly lazy asses and must actually therefore obligatorily have to go to work, will nevertheless unquestionably ensure that with either a win or a loss on England’s part on Sunday, will all the same necessitate them resorting to securing and sending in sick notes determined by the quantities of alcohol they’ve imbibed, from actually turning up for work on Monday. Consequently for them therefore there’s effectively no need for an official Bank Holiday requisite to themselves as they’ll be categorically having one anyway!

Nevertheless, as a Brit, very best wishes to England on Sunday; although if our team wins we shan't hear the last of it for weeks and months on end!
