Prime Ministers Questions at the House of Commons....

David Cameron just paid tribute to Andy Murray on his win at Wimbledon.

Fortunately Ed Miliband paid tribute too and pointed out that Virginia Wade won the women's singles in 1977.

Without taking it too far haven't there been British successes at Boys and Doubles level?

ps I know what he means....

Jamie Murray won the mixed doubles in 2007

Jonathan marray won the men's doubles in 2012

Mini fish with chips is £2.50 at my local chippy- fish is the size of a small whale and they use a sack of spuds for the chips. Made the mistake of ordering the small portion and a normal size fish first time I went in- would easily feed 3 people and a hungry dog!

I'm just saying that maybe he meant to point out that Murray was the first brit to win the MEN'S singles at Wimbledon, and just missed a word out? I don't know, I didn't see it. Or maybe he just needs to get his facts right as you pointed out!

Its not just Cameron. Ive seen it elsewhere. And he said 77 years ss if 1977 never happened. He completely wiped out that piece of history. It wasn't just a word missing. It was an entire historical event in sports. Pretty huge thing to 'miss out' and a clear indication of how irrelevant women are in some circles.

He used the words in the thread title..."first British player in 77 years to win Wimbledon"

One one 'side', Prime Minister, is supposed to answer question (the hint is in the title Prime Minister's Questions).
