I think Arthur may have something to say about that.
... yes ... I've only gotten around to reading this thread - since I don't know a lot about tennis
- and normally I'd have been "horror-stricken"
at the mere thought of fellow-Brits having the audacity to cheer-on a foreign national against a Scots' opponent. But I take the point made by Les - and backed up by Ded! From the few glimpses I have had of Andy Murray during the 'Wimbledon Season', he does seem to come across as being a bit boorish, grumpy and
, any of the times he's been interviewed either off-court or in-between matches. Maybe it's due to my hearing difficulties ... but, to MY ears, his responses appear to sound more like mumbles and grunts that belie his obvious talent. 'Has he some kind of problem with his diction?' I find myself wondering; indeed, IS he Scottish at all?
I ask because - whatever our faults (and like most folk, we have many) -
s are generally renowned for their clear speech.
