The Meeting Place

GEORGE GUNN WAS A STICKLER FOR TAKING LUNCH ON TIME . •••••••••••••••••••••••••• In a game against Hampshire he set off for the pavilion at 1.30pm, only to be informed by the umpire that lunch was being taken at 2 o’clock instead. Gunn calmly returned to the crease, deliberately allowed the next ball to hit his wicket, tucked his bat under his arm and announced as he departed: ‘I take my lunch at 1.30pm’.
