Andy Murray reaches the Wimbledon 2012 Men's Single's Final

Probably just as well he didn't win as the British media hates successful people, and would be now delving into his private life in an attempt to dig up some dirt on him just to bring him down.

Been bothered by this advert for a while ..... I'm one of the 'nit pickers'.....Seems I was correct though

"If so, you might have wondered what it's all about.
On the face of it, it's an ad about how National Lottery funding has helped one K. Edwards to represent GB in the 2012 Olympics as an 800m runner. It's oddly anachronistic and we still can't figure out why her mum looks so old at the end of it, but I suppose that only the nit-picking few would be bothered by that.
Of course, K. Edwards doesn't really exist. The ad is based on the story of Team GB athlete Jenny Meadows and her mother Barbara, who was also an athlete, but unable to compete in the Olympics because of a lack of funding. The Meadows are played by actors and the story is narrated by the mother, looking back at their lives."

"The ad was first aired on June 11th, is still on the box today and is scheduled to run until July 13th.
Admirable stuff........Until you consider the fact that on July 3rd Jenny Meadows was omitted from Team GB..."
