Thanks RDB.  It looked as flat and smooth as a billiard table when finished. (Pool table I guess you'd say)

Yeah, we just can't seem to master the Queen's english.  


We do love our colloquialisms.

We can't even spell many of our words the same as you do.  For example mum - mom, labour - labor, defence - defense, tyre - tire, etc....

Yes yes, that does rather set our teeth on edge

Wow, never knew they did that.

They take their game seriously
There must be no bumps in the surface to deflect the ball.
Until the bowlers get to work

Yes,  SHMBO'd loves Wimbledon too,    sadly one year she took her mum who collapsed and I had to drive over and get them,    I spent 10 hours in the car to drive 60 miles.   It was a bad day all round.

Me neither,   I had to get SHMBO'd to remind me what it was called.
