Is it an M&S sweaty towel Lynette?

It's gross. The players wipe their noses on them. I'd hold them at arms length between finger & thumb.

It's an honour!

Depends who's been sweating in it.

I have always spent more time watching the ball boys and girls. It fascinates me to watch how seriously they take running after a ball and throwing a ball. Amazing.

They volunteer to do it and a lot of people signed up for it (back in my day) and they have plenty of training - my old school is just round the corner and some of my friends were balls girls.

I feel sorry for anyone who has to watch Wimbledon, soa cruelly being there and holding a sweaty towel means they have my deepest sympathies.

I am sure they are quite capable of washing their hands when they get a break!

I wouldn't feel sorry for them, they are being given a brilliant opportunity, and they chose to be there.
