I nod in agreement with Taffy, "Sporting terms can be very confusing, with googlies and Triple A, and so on, but there have been incursions into different countries."<br/><br/>"There was a craze for baseball in Britain in the 19th century, with a national league formed.  It died off, but survived around Liverpool and Cardiff. It was the same for lacrosse, which survived around Mamchester, and that is a sport I have played. Cricket was popular around Philadelphia once, and gridiron football is based on rugby. So, our sports have more in common than we sometimes think."<br/><br/>I can see Robbie opening his beak wide and yawning as I go on. "Enjoy your balti pie with tbe cocktail, Steffy. No, don't touch it Robbie."
