A pop-up pub opened yesterday to a packed crowd of football fans – all enjoying budget 66p pints. The ZYN Arms, in the heart of Shoreditch, London, played host to 300 punters, who were treated to the wallet-friendly prices and table service to ensure they didn’t miss a second of the action as England beat Iran 6-2.
A study of 2,000 Brits found that over a third of those who work (36 per cent) said they had already booked time off to watch the tournament, with almost half (46 per cent) aiming to catch a match in a pub or bar.
The research also suggested that those who smoke were less likely to take cigarette breaks during the matches – with half saying they were too worried about missing a bit of the game.
