keep away from all pubs this coming wednesday

Alcohol isn't on my shopping list.

Or...alternatively...head to your local pub, support them and England at the same time!

I will be doing my shopping at midday on Wednesday so I’ll report back! 😂🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿⚽️

Where on earth do you live OP?

I have seen shelves depleted of toilet roll and other household goods but never have I seen empty shelves on the booze isles 🤦‍♀️

England were favourites in their group, no surprise they have gone through…

I am more concerned that there could be a strawberries, cream and champagne shortage due to Wimbledon starting tomorrow 🎾🍓🍾

Just checked my drinks fridge, as it’s just the two of us I think we should be OK for the game.

Thanks for the tip though😉

Our pub and others locally were packed for the game last night, no warning for that and as far as I know shelves of alcohol in the village were fine. No ice creams though.

Didn't even know there was a game last night. What sport?

Are you sure, there, Sago?

Ooh I don't know sago 😅 though it looks like there's bubbly at the ready

I'm more of a tennis fan myself.
Scotland are out of the footie as ever
But their fans are still remembered in Boston says my American cousin.
Here's the local tribute in my town in Scotland.

Oh God. Football and tennis? Nooo. Think I'll hibernate till it's all over. I'll go out and stock up right now.

Up until I was in my late fifties I used to absolutely love watching football and tennis on the television but then suddenly I went right off sport. My friend is a real football fan. He does a lot for me, so when he comes to see me (every day), I let him watch the matches on tv while I read my book.

I think the OP is hilarious, he can certainly spark discussions.

☹️☹️☹️

Our shop wouldnt empty of alcohol.
But there is always a definite change on the roads. They go eerily quiet.

I am desperate for England to lose a match! - my DD and her OH have sunk £10,000s in the festival they run - it is their livelihood - and we definitely do NOT want England in the final or they will face a financial disaster.

Oh dear.

There has been empty shelves this last week due to heat, not football. My local supermarkets have had broken down fridges and freezers due to the heat. Two were closed due to flooding after Tuesday's storm. Supermarket deliveries have also been cancelled or delayed.

That's worse[in my opinion] than a wedding around here yesterday.
I thought, they will lose their guests, later in the evening.

England are playing at 5pm on Wednesday, I’m not sure why would you need to avoid the pub at lunchtime, as I expect most people will just finish work early and get there about 4.30?

Rugby back next Saturday…..
