World Cup continued...23.06.2010.

The Nation's electricity consumption shot up at half-time during the England v. Slovenia match as nervous fans had a cuppa. The National Grid recorded a huge power surge. Pizza Hut had a 35% increase in sales during the match. Three million fans poured into pubs, downing 18m pints, one for every three Britons.

England's powers surge;
But hang on, that's only for
pizzas, tea and pints.

Fans pour into pubs,
pour down eighteen million pints
as goal trickles in.


England drinking shoots
up, joy and sorrow are downed
in equal measure.
