Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

I did consider putting my birthday on hold till next year as so many other things are on hold but think 1970 is a much ‘tidier’ year to turn 50 than 1971!

I’m off to work now.

Happy Sunday everyone

Welcome, Sushi!

Feb '68 here, which (as I once observed to my mom) means I was conceived during "The Summer of Love" :-)

On tennis and access to tennis the comp I went to had 2 tennis courts which were strictly Out Of Bounds to everyone always except that the girls had Tennis as one of their summer PE terms some years while the boys had Cricket. It didn't seem consistent though. More at the whim of the PE teachers.

Boys certainly didn't do tennis.

All our PE lessons were at the weird whims of the PE teachers. Our comp school, a quite new build at the time, had tennis courts but I can't recall us ever using them. I mainly remember hockey in horizontal winter sleet or rounders and/or athletics in the summer.

There will soon be people on this thread who are closer in age to my children than they are to me :-O
