The Davis Cup.

[Fido]

Old timers who have been sports fanatics since childhood in the UK love ticking off another great sporting achievement. So well done to our Davis Cup team! Only a few more things left that I want to witness before I pop off.

Pity it wasn't an Englishman - that Scots player has made his preferences well known in the past - I refuse to bask in any reflected glory.

I doubt anyone is interested.

It is a British victory by a British team regardless of any individual's politics and nationality within the Union and I thoroughly applaud it. I would feel just the same if it had been 3 Englishmen, 3 Welshmen, 3 Northern Irishmen, 3 Scotsmen or any combination thereof. Jolly good show chaps!

In general, this only is allowed,
They're something noisy, and a little proud.

Probably very true in my case Graeme. On the basis that you got three likes to my none - I suspect the wind is with you on this one.

I like your thread Fido Indeed, but does it warrant a visit to 10 downing street I personally don't think so.Just my opinion though.
