Lawn tennis was invented in the late 1800's ,catering for the social set who were 'oh so bored' of croquet,hence Wimbledon,Fred Perry,blah,blah.Then inevitably Jonny Foreigner comes along and ruins everything by booting our apathetic sporting butts out of the show.Cricket,Rugby,Soccer...you can almost hear the collective cry of,'Come on chaps be reasonable,it's our game,start letting us win!'
Let's face it gents the only home grown 'sports'we're any good at are pub games,darts and snooker,stick a pint in our mitts and we rule
I'm up for resurrecting international shove ha'penny...who's with me?
