With today being National Sickie Day, Paddy Power Games has launched a Sickie Generator, allowing Brits to craft the perfect sickie excuse - following research showing 45% of Brits confessing to skiving off work.
On this day, 375,000 Brits are expected to ‘pull a sickie’, and the bookmaker has crafted a whole host of excuses including “I’ve got an eye test at Barnard Castle this afternoon” and “my partner bit me”, accessible by visiting the Sickie Generator.
Exclusive research by the bookmaker reveals 45% of Brits confessed to skiving off work in the last year, with 30% of those declaring they’ve done it more than once.
