Just wondering.

We don't have a telly anyway. I might watch some matches if we did but I don't feel I'm missing anything of vital importance either during Wimbledon fortnight or at other times.

Strawberries and cream at exorbitant prices grin

I've posted on both the hate and love threads to say I don't care either way, so I'm happy to confirm that here. grin

We've got an abundance of gorgeous berries of several descriptions in DH's allotment this year, all free. I'll forego the cream for the sake of my hips.

re Andy Murray - I certainly don't want him to fail, maybe if I was a Scot I would be more of a fan of his.
And I certainly don't aspire to all his material rewards - best in the world , lots of money etc, not for me thanks.
I use to be interested in the game itself - plus the ups and downs of the various top names.

Am not interested in either Andy Murray or Wimbledon so I fit the title of the thread.grin

Andy Murray? What has he to do with not giving a fuck about the event or its coverage on telly?

Farnorth A recount give three adverse mentions of Andy Murray and one of a "grumpy Scotsman" (unnamed) plus one saying that the grumpy Scotsman is less grumpy nowadays. Still not "all" of the posts are running him down, only 20%, and only 10% by name.

DH currently watching the tennis. Started off with a women's match. Had to turn over because of the screeching. Turned over to a men's match. They are grunting. Sounds awful, why do they do it. (John Newcombe and his lot didn't).

Whose screeching?

When I put the telly on to see Wimbledon I was disappointed that there weren't any Wombles to be seen.
Where have they all gone? A-Womberling I suppose!! grin
