Burger King Celebrating England

I’m sure that no businesses in England at the moment would be concocting clever plans to make many out of England’s [relative] success in the World Cup at the moment. You know what I mean, selling Ikea chairs at 1p, offering 2-for-1 on pizzas on England match days at Pizza Hut or offering 10% off on England match days at MUJI – to pull three random examples out of the air.
So I was impressed that the staff of Burger King in Piccadilly Circus were feeling so patriotic yesterday, that they were all wearing white England home shirts. You know, the ones available for £11.99 in Lilywhites across the road.
The one teeny weeny flaw in this patriotic display is that this particular branch is Burger King is renowned for its multi-ethnic non-English staff. Indeed I always think that their recruitment policy must solely revolve around the Spanish press. The majority of their serving staff are not English – they seem to all be Spanish. Indeed, tomorrow sees a massive clash between France and Spain, so I’d expect plenty of red shirts to be in evidence then.
Oh yes, and white probably isn’t the best colour to wear when you’re working in a busy fast-food environment…
