WITH the current economic climate as it is today, pubs and clubs are trying everything to get customers through the doors – happy hours, quizzes, promotions, etc – so you would think that the European Championships would be a welcome bonus.

Not so at the Black Bull, Hull Road: they only go and make the pub a football-free zone.

I sincerely hope England reach the final and see how many clients they get in on July 1.
