Wimbledon crackdown on vuvuzelas

Quote:
Tennis fans have been banned from bringing vuvuzelas to Wimbledon.
The plastic horns, popular with football fans at the football World Cup in South Africa, have been selling fast across Britain in the last week.
But the All England Club has insisted they would be banned, adding: "The message is not to bring them.
"We have a list of prohibited items, including rattles and klaxons and vuvuzelas will fall into that category so the message is not to bring them."
So everyone can relax..Well until Murray loses.;)

Maybe there could be a good use for the vuvuzelas.

It a shame they could use them when it rains for the 2 weeks the tornament is on.

That'll be another slow news day then. For the uninitiated, here's how it works:

1. Nobody at Wimbledon has given any thought whatsoever to the subject of Vuvuzelas.
2. Some bored hack (in this case at the BBC website) has some column inches to fill.
3. He scratches his head and wonders what's topical.
4. He notices the super soaraway Sun is giving a Vuvuzelas away with every copy of the paper today.
5. He decides to phone the All England and ask them if they're going to ban Vuvuzelas.
6. Wimbledon points out that it already has rules about noisy items being brought in.
7. Hey presto, Wimbledon is 'cracking down' on Vuvuzelas.

Nothing to see here. :zzz:

At least it wasn't the Mail.. They'd be hyping up the fact the instruments are from South Africa, and writing an article about how upstanding English instruments (such as the trumpet) are being replaced by these "immigrants".

Good thing it wasn't the Star... That would have had a topless model holding it accompanied to the headline "I've got the horn"
