United Kingdom
I have lots of questions.
But before we start on the carrom questiions, can anyone answer this?
Why is it the United Kingdom? Surely it should be the United Queendom?
And we all know the red counter in the game of carom is called the queen.
We’ll start in the UK simply because this is the place I know best.
I was born and brought up in the UK.
However I regret that this post will probably be one of the shortest.
Carrom has not yet been deemed cool, or book or whatever the latest word for fashionable is, and until someone famous, for example, David Beckham or Prince William or Harry or J.K.Rawlings admits to playing the game avidly it will remain a game to play at home, occasionally.
Below are several links to sites in the U.K. or should I say London and the South East. I have tried to include the rest of the country but I don’t have any news or information for you.
If you know any more please get in touch.
