Slug & Lettuce support for emergency services
Slug & Lettuce pubs are offering all emergency workers 50% off all food and drinks on 9 September (9/09/09).
All 82 bars will be taking part in the offer and all emergency workers have to do is download an invite from www.slugandlettuce.co.uk or pick one up from the pub and present ID or Blue Light Card.
"As it's the 9th day of the 9th month in the year 09, it seemed the perfect day and the perfect way to say thank you to the people that work in the emergency services providing an invaluable service," said Slug & Lettuce brand manager Nicola Stuart.
"This date only comes around once every hundred years, so we want to make sure that we celebrate it in style and thank those for all the hard work they do. It really is appreciated. We'll all be raising our glasses to say cheers on the 9th September 2009."
In addition to the fire, ambulance and police forces, the 50% discount is open to those working in mountain rescue, the lifeguard association, private nursing practices and members of the NHS.
