And miss the best Wimbledon final of all time? - if not the greatest
game of tennis ever played?

I know you don't 'get' most sport, but watching a recording isn't the
same as watching it live.

If it were that frickin' important, you'd have gone to see it.

You know that's where I reckon Clarkson et al have it wrong. OK, you're
not a petrolhead until you have owned an Alfa. But to be a real
petrolhead you need to have stuffed one magnificently.

To be honest I'm with the H's on this one. Last two weeks in a row I let
the PVR collect Top Gear whilst I watched the Euro Champs football - and
England weren't even there heh! I'd have done the same with the Tennis but
I'm not a fan at all.
