As Huitzi/Salvador (but using the common nickname for Salvador, "Chava," in England) pointed out on another thread, there is a Trompos Cometa website for the uk:
www.tromposuk.comFrom the About Us:
The game Trompo comes from Mexico, as do the reigning World Champions.
It is regarded as a valued sport in several countries of the world and is taken rather seriously, not only as a mere toy but more as a recreational activity that requires the 3 P-s: Passion, Practice and Pleasewhencanihaveit [sic] . . .
We have now our own World Champions here from Mexico! They will assist you for three months to master this sport in Walsall and Birmingham . . . And the most important thing: always carry your TROMPO with you! (as a wise young student commented once “if Marvin the paranoid android had a trompo, he would have been a much happier robot…”)
I guess Carlos shares his title with the rest
By the way, he looks like a champ signing autographs here (but the picture is from Hungary as several of the first photos on the site):
On the other hand, the ones below are from Walsall (just north of Birmingham).
I love this one of our friend Raul:
The four who are conquering England (they should go to Liverpool
): Salvador Martinez, Maurizio Gonzales, Raúl Sanches and Carlos Solis:
I guess Salvador would be Lenon . . .
