England play Spain in the Euro 2024 final on Sunday evening.

We are hoping to win our first major trophy (in the men's game, at least) since 1966.

There have been calls for a Bank Holiday if England wins, including the front page of today's Sun.

Will the new government piggyback off the back of the win and give us a day off work? Or will we have to struggle through our hangovers without an extra day off? Or will the unthinkable happen - will England fail to win?

This will resolve to YES if there is an announcement of an extra Bank Holiday the by the time the market closes, even if the Bank Holiday itself is further in the future rather than next week. It must be an additional Bank Holiday - moving or reassigning an existing Bank Holiday will not be sufficient.

God I hope not, arbitrary exchange holidays wreck havoc with trading code.
