    Nope. Last time I came, the furthest north I got was Oxford!!

    The furthest north I've been since then was Hokkaido in Japan - it's no comparison to Leeds *cough*.:)

    It would be nice to play a bit of badminton in the UK again but it's not going to happen soon.

    Last time I checked Hokkaido is about 630 miles further south than Leeds (I checked about a minute ago!:))

    It's all relative to HK, not London!! Snow is better than Leeds:) despite it being further South.

    Having never seen a frog jump on court nor seen an old hag on court, I must assume that both of those are of a very high standard indeed.

    Hope you enjoyed your games , Anthony.

    Highlight must be the long walk to the Fortune Cookie chinese restaurant. :D
    But it was worth it, i think.

    If you're still in london area next sat, let me know.

    Guys, the 'long walk' was because we originally planned to go to a malaysian restaurant
    but not knowing it was hari raya, the restaurant was shut. Hence the detour to bayswater.

    The last i heard, Four Seasons has changed chef. So i don't know whether the duck is still as good. But i still see people queueing.
    The roast duck from Fortune Cookie is pretty good, i reckon.

    Nice photos, Ants. Saw many lines on the floor. What other sports they play there other than badminton and basketball? AllEngland1984 was in the 4th and last photo. Not too sure about the 1st photo. Did I get it right?

    Yeah, it looked very high class. For this type of facilities, the fees must be rather high to sustain the operation. It may be beyond the ordinary baddy enthusiast in Malaysia.
