Used to fecking love the tennis cos my pub was just about the nearest one to the courts. First week of Wimbledon on the year before we left we took 135 grand (which for anyone who knows anything about what pubs take is an absolute fortune, so much so that it sounds like complete bullsh!t but I swear it isn't). I was I hasten to add only the manager (it was a managed house) but even so it was fecking great. I was there for four years and we used to get a lot of the players in while the tournament was on, Andy Roddick used to come to our after tournament staff do (top bloke as well, loves a beer). Used to pop down there every year as all the uniform lads who did the show courts were in every night, swung us into centre court and number one nine times out of ten without a bother. Great times.


Anyhow to answer the question before I start meself off on the blub, I think Federer will get beat this year probably mid tournament. Nadal will win his first Wimbledon while Sharapova will win the womens, which is cool because she's extremely lovely.

No there'll have been about seven or eight grand in dry as well (mostly made up of BBQ stuff, burgers, pottles of chips and the like). We used to run the Dog and Fox in Wimbledon village, along with Finch's which was a kind of contempory wine bar/restaurant thing attatched on the side. Great times mate.

Even so...that period alone must have boosted the G.P up enough to cover many a slack week over the year. I bet you were run off yer feet at the time though. Good stuff!

I used to be involved in the game for 13 years or so (cheffing side) one of the gaffs i worked in was fairly close to Silverstone - f*ck me it was manic, they almost could have shut for a couple of months each season after the races.

I don't miss it one bit though - 6 out of 7, 16-18 hour days. Nah.
