78% of UK Support Ban on Mondays

LONDON, December 6/PRNewswire/ --

- The UK Says No to Mondays

Overwhelming Support From the British Public to ban Mondays Which Leave
us Feeling F.I.N.E - Fed-Up, Insecure, Neurotic & Emotional

This week the UK public voted to ban Mondays, officially the
most hated day the week. The survey was commissioned by Twentieth Century Fox
Home Entertainment in the run up to the release of Garfield 2 on DVD -
Garfield being the premier advocate for banning Mondays.

The bid to ban Mondays also has the support of 135,000 members
of the Official Monster Raving Loony Party. Garfield will be joining the
leader of the party, Alan 'Howling Laud' Hope, to march on Parliament this
Monday December 11th, presenting a bill and a 1000 person signed petition
supporting the abolishment of Mondays.

- Over 78% of the UK public support the bill to ban Mondays

- An overwhelming 75% of UK workers have voted Mondays as the
most hated day of the week with Tuesday limping into second place with a mere
9%

- Over half of the UK public claim that Monday mornings leave
them feeling F.I.N.E - Fed-up, Insecure, Neurotic & Emotional - with a third
saying Monday mornings are like being slapped in the face with a wet kipper!

- The main reason for hating Mondays is the simple fact that
there are still five days to go until Friday. A massive 70% vote this as
their main reason for disliking Mondays with a surprisingly low 8% blaming
over-crowded tubes or public transport

- 71% believe it should be a legal right to stay under the
duvet on a Monday in winter

- Over 65% claim that they would be more productive between
Tuesday and Friday if Mondays were abolished

- 88% of people agreed that Mondays seem worse in the winter,
with over half saying that not having to get out of bed would be the only
thing that would make their Monday better

It seems that the UK public would do anything to get out of
going to work or school on a Monday!...

- 31.8% of people would be prepared to sit in a bath of cold,
baked lasagne if it meant they could stay at home

- 27% would be prepared to have a cat sit on their head and
fart...

- ...whilst an extreme 20% would be prepared to have 'I Hate
Mondays' tattooed onto their bum!

- Saying you have eaten a dodgy lasagne was polled as the
favourite excuse to get out of going to work or school ...

- ... but 17% of voters would be willing to claim 'My head got
caught in a mangle and I may be indisposed for some time!' to get out of the
horrors of Monday...

Whilst perhaps unsurprisingly, George Clooney and Kylie scored
highest as the people pollsters would most like to spend their Monday with...

- Garfield was a surprise entry with over 30% wishing they
could spend Mondays with the lasagne guzzling feline...

- ...beating Jesse Metcalf (15%), Jude Law (14%), Jordan (10%)
and Ann Widecombe (2.5%)!!!
