Wimbledon spectators

Agreed.
I also wish spectators would not shout out when everyone else is quiet just before the next serve.

I saw Brad

Sorry - a diversion, please forgive me Kitty, but I’ve been ranting to poor old DH about this all week (and he does agree with me, well done him 😊).

But why oh why are the uniforms of the lines people (I know that this is the wrong term) at least two sizes too small?

Cinched waists on portly men; buttons straining on averagely proportioned breasts; shoulders about to burst at the seams…

Why?

There was an old chap, putting his jumper on, obscuring the screen 20 minutes ago.
I was surprised that the camera man didn’t employ some sort of poking device

‘Come on Tim!!’

Brad again, as gorgeous as ever 😍😍

The umpire must be reading Gransnet as he just asked people to be silent before the serve. And the commentators are currently naming all sort of people!

I saw Stefan Edberg but no-one commented.

Who is this Jack whom they keep referring to?

Who is Murray sitting next to?

Jack is a security bod. Blue suit sitting looking at the crowd and not the tennis

Jack is the rather large security guard.

My husband called out from the other room "Brad Pitt" is a spectator, I did think about joining him in front of the telly, but then I decided "nah I'll have to watch the tennis , just to get a brief glimpse of BP is it worth it? so I carried on reading my book" He does keep telling me "it's ever so exciting" I suppose having Brad in the audience could possibly make it so! I'm not a tennis fan as you may have guessed, Although I did go to Wimbledon as a teenager years and years ago, my friend's brother was a ball boy and somehow she got us in, it was the days of Nastase, she had a crush!

John Newcombe there

I agree with you on this Fanny. Some of those line judges could look a bit tidier.
Who is that woman beside Andy?

His mixed doubles partner.

His mixed doubles partner.

I thought I’d seen her before - 👍

Don't know her name - see I need captions!

Thanks Whitewave
The commentators keep mentioning him

John Newcombe there

I fully intended to marry John Newcombe in the 70s

Even worse is the noises from the players.
I don’t actually watch it but DH has it on and the grunts and shouts drive me mad.

My mother would have fought you for him!

Not a great deal of grunting. Women. Can be worse.

I think you'll find John Newcombe was mine!!

The women squeal which goes right through me, especially the one the other day who was "trilling". Why waste energy on that? A grunt I can understand because of the effort.

You’re all wrong, John Newcombe was definitely mine!
