Cue the rain - Wimbledon starts today
Wimbledon starts today !
In what is now a British tradition, much of the tournament is likely to be a wash out. Forecasters were last night predicting heavy showers on day one. 'It looks bright in the morning but, in the afternoon, there will be more showers and heavy rain,' said weather expert Lucy Verasamy. The situation looks set to continue into tomorrow, when Tim Henman's campaign swings into action against little-known Spaniard Ruben Ramirez Hidalgo. And it does not get any better. 'Wednesday will be awful - complete washout' she said. Of course the other British tradition is that Henman wont win.

It wouldn't be Wimbledon without the English showers!

Re: Cue the rain - Wimbledon starts today
Stop the press...
The local rag (Evening Standard) has the headline ... Wimbledon bans Henman Hats. I will just have to close my eyes instead.

Re: Cue the rain - Wimbledon starts today
On a sunnier note, when going to Wimbledon, forget cream on strawberries.
Scientists at Nottingham University have discovered that Yoghurt is the best thing for bringing out their flavour. Wish I could write '1st class honours degree in Strawberry eating' on my CV.
