Bocce or Croquet or ?

[Bron]

I'm laughing about the combo of "jug" and "Pimms". You know, we have a bottle but I've never tried it. Another goal for this summer.

I´ve had it at Henley Royal Regatta served in pint glasses too, and if Henley isn´t civilised, then I don´t know what is
Clearly it has to be drunk whilst wearing stripy blazers and talking in terribly refined accents....

You can play bocce on any field of almost any quality (ruts, etc just make it more fun and challenging) but croquet needs a much better maintained field. Whenever I've played croquet people seem to get really anal, p!ssed off, and upset.

Isn´t that the point of croquet? Maybe they hadn´t had enough Pimm´s.

My parents have to chase the geese off the lawn when they want to play, so it´s hardly pristine either.
