Jeux san Frontier was better. With the Italians spending fortunes on theatrical and eloborate games, where as the BBC's budget extended to little more than, a swimming pool and some balloons and a few oversized ex pantomine costumes from the props wardrobe.

The Germans always managed to get represented by a substantial city approx population 700,000+ where as we had quaint villages.

"Representing Germany this week is a team from Stuttgart, and representing Britain is Stow on the Wold". Let the ritual mismatch and consequent slaughter begin. The GB team was invariably made up of a motley crew dragged from the local pub, who'd clearly suffered by trying to drink the contents of the legendary dip stick. I think we sneaked Loughborough in one year, who were clearly PE students in disguise, and they did ok. I'm trying to think who competed?

Germany, Britain, France, Italy, the Netherlands, the Swiss, Austria? did the Portugese get in after Salazar died? Luxembourg I reckon? and I've got a recollection of Lichenstein fielding a team once? I think Belgium were also involved? Don't recall the Spanish playing

[QUOTE="Warbler, post: 2086878, member: 65228"] Jeux san Frontier was better.
