So, Murray is now a shoe-in for a kerniggithood. But if Scotshire gets itself all independant and kicks out Mrs Queen, will he and Chris Hoy have to hand them back? :tea:

Nah, there's probably some sort of grandfathering arrangement waiting to be used. "If you get a knighthood (or any other award) before independence, you get to keep it". Otherwise just think of the paperwork involved. :gaah:

Just had a chat with my Scottish workmate during coffee break. As I suspected, he was in a much more nervous state than I was. :nervous:

No more mentions of Fred Perry then - as long as I've been watching Wimbledon, I've had to hear about him. Almost as bad as England in '66 ...
I suspect a new sports clothes brand will now appear, superseding Mr Perry (his label will become vintage and collectible no doubt) with Andy Murray and a snazzy logo.

Anyway. Murray is only the first British man to win W since Perry. Four women have done it since, Wade was the last in '77.

It must really bug the Poms that they invent these games, and hardly ever win.
