I suspect that the terrible beer served at English cricket grounds wouldn't help a Belgian integrate into the sport.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.0 -

This'll surely turn out to be an apocryphal tale but I remember a mate telling us about his pal who relocated to Belgium for work.
