How many fans other than Auntie Janet would turn up on a day like this, hang around until the bitter end and still file a match report when she got home? Love it, hate it but you simply cannot ignore it. Here is Auntie Janet's Day 3 match report from Uxbridge and many, many thanks to her for it.

"Watching the grass grow"
I knew what the weather forecast was before I left home, but I am the eternal optimist.
There definitely was rain in the air as I left home, but by the time the tube got to Baker St there was bright sunshine.
It was drizzling when I got to Uxbridge, and I found the Billy and Dawid had caught the same tube and were asking when the bus would come. They ended up getting a taxi while I waited for the bus with some mates.
It drizzled on and off all morning. An optimistic announcement said that play would begin at 1.00pm if there was no more rain. Unfortunately there was so the match was called off at 1.00pm
I stayed in the pavilion until the rain lessened and then I went home. By the time I got the tube it was bright and sunny, and the sunshine remained until I got home.
I thought I’d watch the tennis, but fell asleep for an hour or so.
There was a ‘funny’ at Eastcote station:
There was a notice to drivers at the station which said: ‘please allow time for old people alighting at this stop’. It made me wonder if there was a special enclave for pensioners there.

LUL have had complaints from the older residents of that area that they were not being given the time to get off before the train pulls away. As a lot of the elders of Eastcote are exBoard members and shareholders in various LT companies they thought the sign a good idea to remind their current employees who they were dealing with at Eastcote , the all powerfull grey lobby with time on their hands to write to the Mayor's office and , Transport for London, LUL, their MP ,the national press,the local paper and anyone else they could think of .
They could have on the otherhand saved time on the writing and just made their way to the doors a little bit earlier thus negating the need for the train to stand for so long.

So why wouldn't Billy and Dawid let you in the back of the taxi with them Janet?
Surely you could not have done their eardrums that much damage from the station to the ground,or were they just being on the safe side?
I only saw you and The General get on my bus Janet,had all your other 'mates'deserted you too?

CBG,I was there,you wern't.My question is reasonable if Janet was waiting for a bus whilst two players got in a taxi,why did she not join them or did she decline on religous grounds?
And she got on the same bus as I did,with only one other person whom she describes as a 'mate',he may disagree.
I,m pretty sure she's not reffering to me as another one.
So mystery and misinformation as usual,and we all know a liar needs a good memory.
She is perfectly capable of coming on here and explaining herself.
The fact she does not tells me all I need to know.
I'll continue to take issue with her as long as she continues to mislead the posters on this board.
Best not to involve yourself in things you know nothing about comeback.

CBG started it Ged,so just have a word with him too before berating me,and whilst you're at it talk to Janet'no mates' about making up Fairy stories.
And before you accuse me of similar,everyone knows I create fiction merely to amuse and entertain rather than to deliberately mislead.

"CBG started it" is perhaps the most infantile excuse I have heard on this message board for.........hours.

It's not an excuse Ged,just a clarification.
My initial response to Janet was merely the usual light-hearted banter.
CBG chose to make a facetious remark about it,and I enlightened him as to the actual facts of the matter which I witnessed personally.
I,ve questioned his suitability as a moderator many times before,this is yet a further example of him attempting to stir up a situation unnessesarily,and you have nothing to say him but choose to hit on me as usual.
Perhaps spend a little more time assessing where the fault lies in future Ged before jumping to conclusions.

Oh dear I've a naughty boy again it seems. Whether I was there or not has of course nothing to do with it. I was merely pointing out that you do seem to have a "dig" whenever Janet posts. If you wish me to stand down as moderater because I disagree with you sometimes, I'll go!

I was not having a dig CBG,just curious as to what she was on about?
YES,I would like you to stand down ,not because you disagree with me,but it seems you serve no useful purpose than to try and stir up controversy where none exists as in this case,hardly the duties of a moderator.

It's not for Loverboy to decide who is or isn't a moderator.
And Loverboy's opinion of you should hold no sway, CBG.
Loverboy - doling out abuse to the moderators is one of those house rules that can easily see your ban reinstated in an instant, so I suggest that you draw back from this nonsense and learn to live with the fact that YOU DO NOT BOSS THE MODERATORS. Understood?
And for pity's sake leave Janet alone on this matter. Most people would have submitted nothing for the third day of this match. Perhaps she shouldn't have bothered, but the copy did provide me with the opportunity to use another really good picture from Uxers and a rather jolly caption, though I say so myself.
So get a life, or else you will be leading yours somewhere other than MTWD for the rest of the summer.

I merely responded light -heartedly to Janet's ficticious account.CBG thought it worth making an issue of,and made facetious remarks to me,and I responded.He then continued to be provocative.
I've ABUSED NOBODY Ged,and I disagree that moderators should be free of critiscism when they clearly overstep the mark.
I resent you telling me to get a life,and issuing unwarrented threats.
If you choose to reinstate my ban,so be it,but do not expect me to go quietly in the face of such unwarrented critiscismm from you.
The only NONSENSE I,ve heard comes from CBG and Janet!!!!

Don't take us on, Loverboy. There are three moderators and you are squaring up to two-thirds of the force on this thread alone.
"Going quietly" comes with the turf of a ban on a web site like MTWD.
