A toss up where to put this - I decided on Chatterbank in the end, but please no criticism if you demur.

IMHO it's quite an interesting/nostalgic article, examining some enlightening side effects.

Wimbledon likes to think of itself as big old-fashioned garden party, but times move on. The players need consistency and surety of correct calls.

It is a bit of a shame to be losing that human touch, though. And it will make it harder for line judges to make it to the rarefied heights of chair umpire.

You bet me to it, Dave!   😂

Funny how one "outraged" player's comment reverberates down the years 😀  

It was over 40 years ago when it echoed round Wimbledon hallowed Centre Court - 1981.
