Article Abstract:
The fortunes of British tennis have declined considerably over recent years, but some people still believe that the UK has some sort of right to be among the strongest tennis-playing nations because it hosts the Wimbledon tournament. In fact, the UK has no divine right to top-ranking tennis players, and its fortunes will only start to improve when much better tennis facilities are made available to ordinary people, not just to the wealthy.

Article Abstract:
Charles Saatchi, 49, has made many artists famous by buying their complete show. He began collecting in the 1970s and demands big discounts because he buys in bulk. He is an art dealer rather than a collector. He sells when his possessions are in demand. He owns traditional, modern and weird paintings and sculpture. He does not talk about art or meet the artists. His north London, England, gallery displays challenging works.

Article Abstract:
People who visit the many new fitness centres which have opened in the UK recently seem to aspire to self-improvement, seeing fitness-related activities as a worthy way to spend leisure time. Such establishments are much less exclusive than they used to be, with membership depending solely on ability to pay. They offer a sense of belonging and a certain social status which is greatly valued by their members.
