But Cary told me they are real!

Perhaps living in Canada and having to drink the swill they call beer there has made you a sourpuss?

Or maybe just a sourpuss anyway...

Roger Federer Wimbledon triumph wins Oxfam £100,000

A bet placed on Wimbledon champion Roger Federer nearly a decade ago has netted more than £100,000 for Oxfam.

In 2003 Nick Newlife, from Oxfordshire, made a wager of £1,520, at odds of 66/1, that the Swiss tennis star would win seven Wimbledon titles by 2019.

Mr Newlife died in 2009 but had left the betting slip to Oxfam in his will.
