I cannot help wondering whether Andy Murray’s mother, Judy, has ever been tawsed. She would certainly be the right age for it, and as most girls of her age would have tasted the tawse I suspect she has received it.
Furthermore, tennis players of the 1970s would have worn those dreadful frilly knickers which if she was tawsed on the bottom would indeed provide some protection, and would also be able to diguise some form of titanium plate.
I also wonder whether there is a specialist tawse called a Dunblane tawse, perhaps in the shape of a mini tennis racket.
