LOL - '...bookmaker closed betting on Friday '

British bookmakers take flight from
millennium bet
03:43 p.m Mar 27, 1998 Eastern

LONDON, March 27 (Reuters) - A leading British
bookmaker closed betting on Friday on the chaos which
the ''millennium bug'' could cause to aviation after
punters reacted to warnings that some computer
problems in the year 2000 could not be avoided.

William Hill had offered 50 to one against all scheduled
flights from British airports being cancelled on New
Year's Eve, 1999, and the following day.
