If Andy Murray wins, Look out for cameron ,jumping on the band waggon, for the feel good factor. Be even better if Andy is a labour supporter.

Good point hawksley....although i doubt whether Cameron could spell "wagon."

[excelsior-1]

i'm afraid that i am of the firm opinion that sport and politics should not mix

[hawksley]

sorry sqadd

To be fair, Blair also was a master at that kind of thing. Remember Harold Wilson joking about with the Beatles 50 years ago? Well, British politicians have done it ever since.

[Gromit]

Just watched Wilson and the Beatles on YouTube. Worth a look...

[mushroom25]

of course, he'll be "A Scot" if he loses.......

[Sqad]

hawksley........LOL........I am in THAT sort of mood today.....;-)

[factor-fiction]

Great footage, Gromit. Thanks for that.

[tonyav]

Yep, Harold my favorite PM.

[youngmafbog]

And if he says nothing you will no doubt slate him for that.

[youngmafbog]

And he is acottish so soon wont be British. Win or loose.
Note anotger jock living south of the border. If scotland is so great you have to wonder why

[mikey4444]

I hope he wins today, but I'm just glad that Henman is playing any more. I'm not sure if I could stand any more of those middle class, middle aged women, in print frocks and sensible shoes on Henman Hill, all shouting
" OOOOOh come on Tim ! "

Anything is better than that !

// Note another jock living south of the border //

He may have a London residence, but I am pretty sure he lives abroad for most of the year.

[zebo]

Glad Harold W got a mention, didn't he call an election on the strength of the 66 world cup!

[DTCwordfan]

So what if he lives south of Hadrians, north of it, or even in Lichtenstein, Luxembourg or Monaco....

Anyway, what has he done?

[jno]

urban myth, zebo, the election was months before the world cup. Yet even people who were alive then swear it was the other way round...

[douglas9401]

Nothing DTCwordfan, nothing that Brits without number have failed to do for three quarters of a century.

He's entertained millions, made Sue Barker moist and failed to rise to any and all bait.

Oh, and won a few world class sporting competitions along the way.

[DaisyNonna]

Not that you are prejudiced Mikey.

Who was the silly bugger behind Cameron with the saltire?
