Things were much simpler when all we had was a wireless.
My tip to win the Ladies is Miss Safarova.
She is getting beaten and appears to be playing in a shortie nightie!

Good afternoon, Rusty!
I popped into a neighbour's for coffee, otherwise I would have joined in the Red button discussion!
Suffice it to say that I fall into the same category as does Eirlys.
I only managed earlier on to get the same two choices of match as did she.
And right now, I don't have any choice at all, the present match is being shown on both BBC 2 and my Red Button channel!
I wouldn't know what happens about the other coloured buttons on my remote control.......remember they don't work?
(Malone kindly provided the relevant numbers for the Red Button......I key them in manually .......but I have no idea what to do with the blue, yellow and green ones!!)
I am relieved to find that I am not going bonkers!
I'm glad that the programme "The Somme" is good - I have yet to watch it..... might manage it later this evening.
Yes, I am pleased with that particular tumbler dryer- it was recommended by a friend "in the trade" so he knows what he is talking about.

I eagerly await the Ladies' Final, Rusty! I sometimes opt for players with good/interesting names - Mardy Fish and Jack Sock, for example.

Elle, I hesitate to say this... Right now, there's one match on BBC1 and another on BBC2.

Yes, sorry, Malone..........
I DID express that very badly - I really meant that there was no choice being offered me via the Red Button - the match shown on there being the same as on the BBC2 channel.

I'm relieved to hear that! I think we will have to be extra-vigilant,re the Red Button,this Wimbledon as I'm sure Euro 2016 will get in the way at times.

Hello, Elle,
The option to use Blue Button/Menu appears on my screen.
Quite straightforward to follow.
Just amazed that there are so many differences with Red Button and different systems.
I don't really approve of Miss Safarova playing in her nightie.
Does not look quite the thing.
Whatever is Wimbledon coming to!

What about Gussie Moran and her frilly lace knickers ?

Hi, Rusty!
Well, I am relieved that all has now become clear about this mysterious Red Button!
I was beginning to be concerned for my sanity - both in my own eyes and most probably in everyone else's too!
Are you sure that Lucie is playing in her nightie, Rusty?!
I remember as a child watching Maria Bueno when she first appeared in her various frilly tennis dresses!
How daringly short they looked then!
But how is Lucie doing in her match? Is your bet still valid?


Gussie Moran is a tad before my time, Eirlys! Wasn't she born in the early 1920s?
I have to admit to not knowing much about her.......or her frilly knickers.......
Shades of NBK here?

Elle
Here is her obituary
