What are you planning to do on 8 June? Hopefully you're not planning a meeting around lunchtime.

Resource Management surveyed 4,500 football fans about their attitude to the forthcoming World Cup.

Of those surveyed, 40% plan to phone in sick or take time off to watch the footie.

The key problem games, says Resource Management, are England versus Argentina, which kicks off at 12.30pm on Friday 8 June and England versus Nigeria which kicks off at 7.30am on Wednesday 23 June.

Maybe you should put a thick red line through those two dates, if you want anything like full attendance at your meetings.
