I like skittles. Bedfordshire skittles. You can't get that in Canada can you.

People don't realise this when they emigrate though.

My Granddad would often say, "life is not all beer and skittles," how prophetic given the current economic woes.

You could combine it with curling and get a shuffleboard table?
