Seems that fans travelling to watch the action at Wimbledon are being allowed to park their cars on the graves of British tennis players' careers deceased folk at a nearby cemetery. St Mary's Church in Wimbledon Village regularly charges punters £20 a day during the Championships to stick their motor on the graves of people whose descendants cannot be traced, but this year a few errors meant that cars were accidentally parked in "inappropriate" locations. The practice has now been stopped, which is a blow for the three charities benefiting from the munificent church's car charge scheme, but a blessing for the grieving family surprised to find a Volvo parked on top of Great Uncle Victor's headstone.
