Tennis players’ media duties
I’m sure I’m not the only one saddened at the news that the top tennis players have decided not to continue their protest over prize money and have agreed to carry out their media duties during Wimbledon in full (). I had hoped they could be persuaded to institute a complete ban, rather than the partial one , and thus spare us from inane and unrevealing pre- and post-match interviews.

Train services
I recently travelled on an Avanti West Coast train from Manchester to London. Approaching Euston, there were announcements about gathering up belongings etc, but one stated:
“We have pickpockets operating at this station.”Is it not bad enough that train companies overcharge us for an inadequate service without employing people to rob us when we get off?

We will know that HS2 is really going to happen when the tenders for rail replacement bus services go out ().

Re pointless words
TV weather forecasters in Scotland often tell us what is going to happen “during the overnight period”, prompting me to respond “Night!”
