I love the three piece suits, and the Scottish Skip on rink A (I still remember which way round they were) has a handkerchief in his breast pocket..... delightful.<br /><br />I notice the American team does not indicate handle by the hand they hold the brush with. Our habit of doing so here is perhaps because so many of us learned on ice that was not true, you really had to call the handle not just assume the natural turn was correct.<br /><br />I had forgotten about the bell and one more end, although I do remember the 12 end semi-final and 14 end final regime. Were the sessions still three hours in the old Ayr rink? old davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705501528067392948noreply@blogger.com
