the queue eater: a must have for any londoner

Wimbledon starts today which means when we’re there on Wednesday, we’ll likely watch the winners of today’s matches. The possibility of seeing the likes of Roger Federer, Maria Sharapova, and James Blake, excites me. But there a few dependencies. We must:

• arrive at the grounds as early as possible on Tuesday evening to receive our queue cards
• bring enough food, water and other refreshment to survive up to 15 hours
• successfully pitch two tents
• wake up the next morning with our wits about us

We are of course counting on being close enough to the front to get tickets for Centre Court or Court 1. If we are not, then, well, the secrete weapon comes out.
