IT looks like MG Rover is the place to work during the World Cup.

The company, in Longbridge, Birmingham, is giving its employees - including hundreds of Worcestershire workers - an extra day's holiday tomorrow to watch England play Brazil.

"In recognition of England's success and progress, Friday will be an extra day's holiday for the workforce," said Kevin Howe, chief executive of the company, which employs hundreds of people living in Worcestershire and Herefordshire.

"This will enable everyone to see the match and, hopefully, enjoy the event properly."

Commenting on the Denmark game, played last Saturday, Mr Howe said he was delighted at the team's success.

If England are successful and reach the semi-final, similar arrangements will apply.
