Too much beer blamed for marbles loss
Too much beer has been blamed for British teams losing the World Marbles Championships to Germany - for the second year in a row.
The 72nd annual contest was staged at the Greyhound Pub in Tinsley Green, West Sussex, on Good Friday.
The village, near Crawley, is reputed to be the scene of an epic marbles battle in Elizabethan times over the hand of a local maiden.
