Wimbledon 2022!

I love Wimbledon but who is the new presenter? She is awful, stuttering and umming and erring constantly. She seems to have little knowledge too. Is it another case of box ticking by the beeb?
Also waiting for the matches to be switched between bbc1 and bbc2 on a frequent basis.

Finished watching the cricket, I’ll watch some tennis, not my favourite sport, six weeks to wait for football (premier league).

Lucky you Pittcity I am so jealous! You will have a great day.
I’ve been twice the last time in 2017 but no luck in the ballot since. I’m in London overnight tomorrow. It’s a last minute tagging along with DH who’s had business meetings cancelled. Currently looking at silly prices for last minute tickets. Decisions …

I don't understand why it has to dominate both channels when we can easily choose what to watch on iPlayer.

I love Wimbledon and won tickets in the ballot for 2020......we are going next Wednesday ?

Also with you Ginny, and all others who really dislike watching sport .

Why oh why, does it have to be on BBC1 and BBC2 at the same time?

I’m with you ginny I hate all sports on tv. ?
I read that Robinson’s cordial are not sponsoring Wimbledon any more. The end of an era indeed.

We are blessed by having no satellite signal at the moment.

I always look forward to Wimbledon fortnight and I have even been known to plan our holiday around it!
Slightly unusual this year for a variety of reasons and I am very sad that it will be Sue Barker’s last year. I have always enjoyed her calm sensible comments.

I feel the same about Sue. A sad day. I am also that mum too! Got quick easy meals for the next 2 weeks.

It was my English teacher in the first year of secondary school who influenced me. She was a bit of a dragon but I always got on well with her. Our Friday afternoon lesson coincided with the ladies final as it did in those days. It was Evonne Goolagong who had bounced on to the scene and playing in her first final that thanks to Miss R we watched on TV.
We saw a different side to the teacher ooh and ah ing at the rallies etc! I was hooked and loved the game ever since.

I see your point ginny
Tv schedules do often seem to be dominated by sport.
Tennis is the only one I like and I only tend to watch Wimbledon and the pre-Wimbledon grass court tournaments.

We are about 20 miles south west of Wimbledon and the rain seems to have moved away as it’s now sunny.
Hopefully the roof won’t need to be on too long.

Jennifereccles I’m afraid I can’t stand watching any sport. Luckily I enjoy various hobbies , so can always get away from it. Although I do sometimes wonder why I pay my license fee for some of the year.

Usual question for this time of year, why is Wimbledon on BBC 1 & 2 at the same time. Think its time for me to look at Netflix again or the other available channels

It's raining there!!!

Got my cushion, sunscreen, hat, barley water, strawberries and cream ready. ??

ginny ?
I do understand as I’m like that about the ubiquitous football!

I have a nice simple dinner planned for this evening, which will be the order of the day for the next fortnight!
It takes me back to my childhood, coming home from school to find my mum, who got me interested in tennis, sitting in the living room with the curtains pulled against the sun, telling me that dinner will be salad (again)!

I plan my holiday around Wimbledon too. I always try to be away ! ?

Yup - ready for the off here!
