‘It'll be good for business’ – bars to call late last orders for Three Lions

Managed by Thomas Tuchel, the Three Lions will face joint-hosts Mexico in their home Azteca Stadium in the nation’s capital.

It will be the first time since the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea that obscure kick-off times will impact fans who haven’t travelled to North America for the tournament, but pubs will remain open for the experience.

Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced pubs across the nation can remain open until 5am on Monday to allow fans to watch the game including any potential injury time or dreaded penalty shoot outs.

“We want to encourage people to enjoy the World Cup, it only comes around once every four years” explained Callum Mason, the Head Operator of Hogarth’s in South Shields town centre.

Keep eye out for negative elements

This is not to say that we drop our guard and fail to spot the negative elements developing on otherwise healthy plants - blight settling on potato foliage, weeds trying to gain a foothold, a colony of greenfly forming on the roses.
