Minutes ago, both Canada and team GB were still in with a chance in the Davies Cup, however, a moment of madness by the young Canadian who smashed a ball in a fit of temper struck the referee in the eye, and as a result the player was disqualified meaning that GB won both the game and the match. Young Jamie Murray and his partner managed to win their doubles match yesterday, but sadly big brother Sir Andy Murray was not playing this year. Mother Judy must be ever so proud of her two sons, Andy and Jamie who have certainly put Scotland on the map. It is just difficult to understand why the local planning folks at Stirling keep knocking back her planning applications for a tennis academy. It would be yet another centre for excellence and I am sure there is space somewhere in the University Campus. It is just a bit unfortunate that I read that Sir Andy's hotel, the Cromlix, on the outskirts of Dunblane, is not doing as well as was expected. It is just a bit too far off the beaten track to attract passing trade and maybe not quite on the five star list yet to bring in big monied guests. It is not quite in the same league as the nearby Gleneagles' Hotel with its many attractions and worldwide reputation.
