Handbags   (The sad, the bad and the ugly. Non-productive stuff here.)

Started by: raymyjamie (6857)

The scoring for tennis is based on a clock face.
15 for "quarter past", 30 for "half past" and 40 (shortened from 45) for "quarter to".
Deuce is from the French "douze" for twelve (o'clock).

More knowledge as Mester Dustaf used to say.
