FWIW, I've always been impressed with Tim Henman, and would echo the views that he was quality.
I always thought that it was his wretched 'come on Tim' fans that kinda brought his street cred down, not his playing.

From todays BBC website article on McLaren...

Button has arrived at McLaren after winning the title with Brawn, who race as Mercedes this season, to give McLaren an [b]all-English[/b] pairing.

It is also the first pairing of two[b] British [/b]world champions since Graham Hill joined Jim Clark at Lotus in 1968.

Both statements are factually correct, but it's this sort of writing that winds some folk up.

Why, cos it makes them feel inadequate ?

Let's just say that it feeds a certain paranoia

How else do you suggest they wrote it? Are they not allowed to describe JB and LH as English because they use the term "British" later in the same article?
