Bookmakers’ Christmas opening times

[Anonymous]

I’ve been speaking to the local LBO managers in my vicinity and most of them are being released at 5pm on both Christmas Eve and Boxing Day, at the same time that SIS finishes broadcasting on those two days.

The one exception appears to be Paddy Power’s employees, who are being forced to stay open until half past six. Not only that, but certain Paddy Power shops, which have been labelled "key machine shops", are staying open until ten o’clock on Christmas Eve; fear not, as the staff are being rewarded with a twenty pound gift voucher!

Does anybody know of any other betting shops staying open after five o’clock on those two days? Can any other firm beat Paddy Power’s avarice?
