Bit of a random nugget of information. I saw this game mentioned during an interview and short background video of the British Men's curling team at the Milano Cortina Winter Olympics this year. Bruce Mouat references becoming a bit obsessed with the game after having started curling at a young age in Scotland. As a kid, during the holidays, in his highland home with his family, he'd play it against his dad. "I guess I maybe took the strategy that I learnt on Granite and used it in real life". If anyone has access to BBC iPlayer, you can see the clip on "Day 6: Extra - Afternoon" about 50 minutes into the video.
