Wimbledon opened for business today... 25,000 bottles of champers will be knocked back and a punnet of strawberies will set you back £2.50 for ten (berries). Bubbly has risen to £61 per bottle. The sliding 80k roof has only been used twice since it opened in 2009.



Much vaunted vaulting

comes to sliding stop, champagne

may leave punters flat.



Twenty five thousand

bottles of bubbly knocked back,

like balls at Wimbers.
 
 
 
Ten strawberries for

how much? Champers for Sixty

quid? What a racket!
