Just been told Ladbrokes are to open on Christmas eve for cartoon dogs ,cartoon horses and their internal lotto.The woman who told me has three young children and has to work on this day.Most shop employees are married women with young families and I find this shocking move by Ladbrokes as anti Christmas and anti family.I am currently composing a strong E-mail for their head office and hope everybody who agrees with me will do the same.

+1, what's the biggie.

What if they are users of public transport and the drivers didn't work Christmas Eve would that be "anti-family and anti-Christmas" I wonder...:rolleyes:

Yes. Yes we do. The bank holidays are Christmas Day & Stephen's Day. That's it.

They will still get mug punters in to back on the virtual's even last year with the snow and all abandoned racing they still had people in the shops I work right beside a Paddypower and the amount of people backing on the virtual racing is unreal.
