"Mr Smith?s piece contains a number of symbols, including Murray Mints, plant seeds ? representing the seeding system at Wimbledon ? a Union flag and a picture of a kilt.


Mr Smith said he was not a particular Andy Murray supporter, but added: ?I do like watching it now and again."

LOL SJ...I can't stand the game let alone play it. Everyone knows that if a professional player plays enough tournaments they can get their ranking up. Henman never made the final of a grand slam (the only tournaments that matter really) let alone win one. He rarely beat players ranked higher than him. I feel the press treated him like a World Champion when he wasn't and was never going to be.

As others have said, Henman was consistently in the top 10 for years, made a few GS semis, won a masters event (yes masters tournaments do "matter"!), had possibly the best volley in the game at the time.


In what other sport would you call a top 10 player an "average jobbing player at best"? I'm not really into football, but I don't think it would be a stretch to draw an analogy with Gareth Bale or Steven Gerrard.


Plus you have to put it in the context of the previous top British players - guys like Andrew Castle and Jeremy Bates who never even broke the top 50...

I'm not actually Scottish, but being British, have supported him since day one.


Well done Andy.


He played brilliantly when it mattered & had the will to win.


We've waited over 70 years for this.

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
