I had forgotten about the silly noises tennis players make.
I've just popped BBC1 on ready for the news and there they are even sillier than before.

The only time I went to watch the tennis was my last. Went for the old strawberries and cream, then out came my own sound..."How much?, at least Dick Turpin had the courtesy to wear a mask". Dunno why I was refused to be served, must have been something I said.

It's amusing that the sound of an English summer is a French sport. In Northern Ireland, it's road racing. Or flute bands.

Round here at the moment it's the smell of summer. Barbecues and muck-spreading.
As for the sound. Strimmers, and usually from 8am onwards.
Don't limit the friends you haven't met with arguments you'll never have.

Hmmm - the sound of summer round these parts is the rattle of the rain being blasted against the conservatory by the gales. 😢

Sounds of summer - lawnmowers running up and down lawns.
