Think this could be a display of playing someone who is just too good on the day. Sorry.

Older than Andy, younger than Fed. But I'm also furrin.

9?

I was nearly 16 then. That was the first time I saw him 'live' . He was lovely.

Makes a nice change, Raahh.

You can get your pom poms out tomorrow for Muggy.

Vamos Muggy.

What's furrin got to do with it ? Does time difference change your age ?

Come South, you'll be younger !

I was 4 in 1987.

We didn't have ceefax in NZ. Probably. Depending on what it was.

You are children the lot of you flounces off in old lady strop

MrsVI think being furrin explains not knowing what ceefax was.

it was a very odd thing, Ceefax. And Teletext- that had a 'soap opera'

9, 16 I was 23!!

Oooh, we did have it, but we just called it teletext because prosaic.

Tennis players I have objectified
Pat Cash
Agassi
Rafa

I was 18 in 1987.

Ceefax was the news/information service on tv. Via teletext. You could either watch tv, or read news, or various other info.

Anyone remember Bamboozle ?

Ceefax was pages of text, news, sport, selling holidays, etc, that used to be on when there was a break in programmes. It is hard to explain.

Yay Diddi and katie. I was 20! Remember seeing Virginia Wade win in 1977. Also remember cutting out newspaper articles about Wimbledon for my diary type thing in @1981....

Anyone remember the weird pictures up in the morning?

What do we reckon straight sets to fed?

I was 11 in 1987.

I was teasing about being furrin.

I always forget your kiwi bit, Grouchy. It always makes me think if the fruit, not the country.

I expect if I looked back we discuss it every year.

That's what happens as you get older. You forget things. A lot.

Bamboozle was great- and waiting ages when you missed the 'page' you wanted and had to wait for ages for it to come round.

What is furrin??

Iirc mats wilander was quite cute in his day....never really liked pistol Pete as a player. Think stopped watching for a while. Rafa brought me back to tennis!

I reckon it might go to 4, MrsPear.

This is what I really look like. True story. th05.deviantart.net/fs70/200H/f/2012/275/2/b/2ba7751ea653b85eedd7ec75f8971e7d-d5glzdj.png

I used to love reading the news and weather on ceefax. It's a bit weird, but I found it sunk in more than the nightly bulletins.
Purple, I made a Wimbledon diary too, for 1991. It's one of the very few things I regret not keeping, in my enthusiasm for decluttering.
