Can you imagine crowd trouble at Wimbledon?

"Excuse me Sir but you are in my seat".

"Right you are old chap, I am terribly sorry. Would you accept some strawberries and champagne as an apology"

"That would be spiffing!"

To the best of my limited knowledge about tennis I believe its unique to Australia. Certainly amongst the major tournaments.

This "why can't we all just get along" mantra is pure fantasy.

You're the one who questionned the validity of my opinions and knowledge, all I did was reply to this by listing my education in this field. If you don't like that type of response don't go questioning people's knowledge on such matters. Quite simple really.
