A trade union is offering advice to members on how to go about taking a "sickie'' in order to watch the World Cup.

On its website, Amicus has published advice under the headline "World Cup Fever".

It reads: "So you want to watch the World Cup, but you are meant to be at work when it's on: can you play away or is the risk of permanent relegation from your job too high?''.

Under the sub-heading Just Take A 'Sickie'?, the website says: "It is quite difficult to prove that someone is not really sick if they have one day off.''

Were do I sign up lads' now thats what I call union help. :phone2:
