Losing Their Marbles

Seems the British have lost the World Marbles Championships to Germany for the second year in a row. A spokeswoman for the Championship cited excessive alcohol consumption and not enough practice as reasons for the British defeat. I suppose the Germans didn't drink? The "money" quote:

"If you put a lot of men in a pub environment and there is beer or marbles, what are they going to choose? They are going to choose the beer."
