No fecking way, what really ?

I can watch tennis sat in the champagne bar in canary wharf at Canada square that is fun, but you can move about rather than been trapped watching mixed doubles or ugly woman with big pants

Honesty is the best policy, IMO. So I'm glad you all (mostly) agree!

PS - The Mrs will be at work so no way she'll see anything

Absolutely this ^

Be honest and tell them you've got tickets for Wimbledon and that you are not available for the day.

Your bigger worry should be about the wife spotting you with the mistress on centre court

So do I tell them I'm unwell, come clean or just give a vague "I won't be providing my services today".

What would CUK do?

Be honest. Got offered 2 tickets to Wimbledon at the last minute so I'm won't be in today.

Except for jealously most people will accept the circumstances

Unwell or simply not providing services today (if they ask for a reason use family emergency or something vague).

Not "I won't be working as I'm off to a jolly, followed by a celebrity filled pissup. Fun trumps your boring work environment, sorry."
