Bookmakers are offering odds of 5000-1 on any Leicester fan turning up for work ‘hangover free’ this morning.
After Tottenham’s 2-2 draw with Chelsea had confirmed the Midlands outfit as Premier League Champions for the first time, fans celebrated through the night blissfully uninhibited by any responsibility whatsoever to their employers.

“I feel like a billionaire member of the Order of the British Empire who has just swanned off with £500 million of his employees’ pensions.
“Its an unmistakable feeling.”

A spokesman for the Office of National Statistics said productivity in the region was expected to remain paltry for the foreseeable future.
“When a once-in-a-lifetime event such as making hundreds of thousands of Tottenham fans cry simultaneously, you can expect there to be celebrations for months.
“And rightly so – I’m going to be calling in sick for the next fortnight myself.”
