But you are right, though, Jazzy, in that they WERE all in the Davis Cup team, as I googld e that to check.
I came up with a Mike DavIES tho, and couldn't find Colin Hannam.
I was just wondering if - as well as being in the Davis cup team - they played in the British Hard Court Championships, too?
I triedchecking but couldn't find any names other thantthose I gave you.
But you are much better with computers than am I, and so might be able to coax more info from yours!

We crossed again, JG!
Getting to be a habit......

Found it !
It was 1956 and all the names match.
You have made my day Elle ;)

...and it is Michael DaviES (davis was a typo)

That's good , Jazzy! It was the only solution I could think of!

Jazzgirl, that was nice, indeed.
I still can't remember it in the film though.
And it definitely was not in the book!

Elle, Val sang some fine stuff, alright!

Well done, World of Books!
You must have annoyed them, hence no voucher?
Were you impudent, at all?
I shall try the code next time I order.
No, Father Flanagan is still in transit.
Takes about 3 weeks from USA.
My book on Bobby Jones arrived.
I think that came from USA.

Any sign of the thunderstorm?

Rusty,
Who, me? I'm never impudent! I am sweetness and light to all mankind!
Seriously, though..... I have never had any direct contact with World of Books? all my dealings have been done through Amazon?
Have you taken part in any surveys? that is all I can think of?

No, no thunderstorm as yet- in fact, the sun is now shining and it's looking much brighter out........maybe the storm has passed us by?

How did you go with your granddaughters - any pending social engagements?

Well, Elle!
I decided to see when Father Flanagan was arriving.
He left Mishawaka, Indiana, on 28th Jun, and should get to me between 7th and 28th July.
I had never heard of Mishawaka and decided to look it up. Turns out it was the hometown of Charles Kuhl, which led me on to General Patton!
Funny how one thing leads to another...so it is!

Elle, sweetness and light????
Exactly! I would not have imagined anything else!
I deal with World of Books through Amazon.
Amazon has a word for these transactions but I have forgotten what it is.
I think it means "coming under the Amazon umbrolly" or words to that effect.
The only surveys I do are for ASDA and Which.
No, the social diary appears to be bereft of entries.
Awaiting Miss L Plate's reply, but she is notorious for not replying to texts! Unless there may be a b???n r??l or an i?e c?e?m involved!

Hi, Rusty!
I was wondering whether our posts had crossed!
Obviously , they had!
I too had never heard of Mishawaka...I have now! Amazing what one learns through a progression of thought.....so it is!
I'm watching James Ward (British, plays in the Davis Cup
team). He's two sets up, playing Vesely. He is on the 'red button'!
Andy Murray is on BBC2.
So it's not doing a survey that brought forth the voucher to you......ah well, I don't suppose I've lost much by the lack of it!
No doubt Miss L-Plate will get back to you soon.
My (younger) daughter keeps her phone on 'Silent' - it's terribly irritating as she always has to ring back - drives me and her husband mad!
Have you sorted anything out re Victoria?
