Symbolism can be an ironic thing. As I write this, there are two major events relating to Wimbledon going on. One is the AFCW
Well, thanks to a mixture of laziness, collapsing servers and all round bugger all to do, a nice if belated round up of what’s going on, SW19 style Firstly, now that the dust has settled, DA’s appointment is taking shape nicely.
