Cortisone is supposed to be the wonder healing content of badger fat. Shot a couple in autumn but disposed of them as normal here in Germany fully legal BTW.

Taking the knee or is it the pee?

I remember very well the farewell greeting at work in the UK was often "don't work too hard". Where will all these nose to the grindstoner"s appear from? It is a great dream to make Britain just like the USA great again but many other hungry countries have taken up the baton and without state aid like China does UK will never build up to the old days again. So see I the future. There needs to be a new take on what the UK can do best and then go hell for leather for it.
Nice dream I know.

Well before I left the UK in 2002 I lived in Deal, Kent so I guess now I am a no deal man.🤣

No that cannot be right, the German company will export the product MwsT (Vat) free, then when it arrive on UK"s land there will be added UK Import duty and Vat. That"s how a lot of yanks come to Germany buy a car tax free and use it for their vacation here then they ship it to the USA which was in on the price they paid, then they have to pay USA import duties.

I flew into Frankfurt from Argentina on economy 1996 and was booked on a first class seat on to Heathrow so looking forward to it I asked where is the f/class lounge? "out of the airport and over the bridge" was the answer from a Lufthansa desk clerk what!! said I, "yes it is to give the wealthy some exercise" was the smarmy reply. That did Lufthansa for me. Never again

How many mummies were blocking the roads visibility with their cars? Unbelievable where I am at school leaving times, it gives the kids far less safe exits. Hope he gets well quick as most young uns do.

Your clearly not over brexit as you've posted about it several times, as your worried the british gravy train is about to dry up, enjoy Germany and don't expect the British to fund you and the rest of Europe.
I worked my *** off for nigh on 50 years and now own 9 houses so what gravy train are you meaning?

I am well over Brexit twit. This was an informative heads up for the great unwashed on here about what is happening outside of the bbc"s persistent covid reporting to the exclusion of most other news.
I have lived in Germany now fulltime since 2002 and on and off have worked over there the same as many UK brickies did since 1973, I was working in a different trade though. My main home will never be the UK again and you can blame my Irish grandmother and Canadian father for blocking in me a blind patriotism for England. I try to see a bigger picture of the world without allowing petty nationalism to fog it up.
Amazing how some readers read something into a post that is not intended. I just thought folks on PW would like to know how lockdown is affecting travel for one and two the amazing number of trucks needed to keep UK fed/clothed and supplied with electronics from wherever. My UK residence is in Dover so the impact is starting to become apparent down there with the massive truck jams expected in 2021 Dover BTW voted leave.

I went back to Germany through Dover Eastern docks yesterday on the 4am ferry and there is a huge TV screen located in the parking area doing advertising for P&O & DFDS plus the ports info (the port info stated that on Thursday 19th Nov they trafficked 4499 trucks, 114 cars and 8 buses through the port). I just thought it would bring some reality to what we actually import to support our needs, it did not break down as to if the trucks that had left were full of exports or empty. Of course the lockdown was the cause of the few cars shown. I wanted to see the number of dinghies they landed but that was missing.

i dont think that is derogotary at all.............least the germans have a similar sense of humour to us............
if you want derogatory..............sit quietly in an english pub and listen as to what we call our politicle classes..........
Maybe derogatory was too hard a word but my alphabet is limited as I did not get the Boris skool privilege.

Very happy to be an island monkey thank you.
Just pointing out that national stereotype phrases cuts both ways, The PC woke world will normally not allow using words that we grew up with to be used these days. Ho hum.

The Germans call us island monkeys FYI so being derogatory goes both ways.
Stay safe.

Says the man wandering around with a damp bit of cloth over his face, to protect him from a virus with a 99.7% survival rate (not including the huge numbers who are asympyomatic) when there are no randomised control tests showing these masks work. All to protect from a virus where average age of death from the virus is 82 years old.
It is not to protect me wally, they are worn by all to protect all others from your droplets, I am 70 and take it more seriously, than you. I live in Germany with 85 million and 10K dead, you are in a 65 million country with 50K dead so do the math on that, respect others as the Germans do, they call the cops if people will not comply (don"t try the nazi comment route) . If you do not agree then go to learn the facts in a medical university when they will allow you but only if you have the A levels to qualify though.

Research the 1853 Vaccination Act and then the 1889 Royal Commission.
Compulsion is not the way to vaccinate, education is.
You can"t educate pork, sadly.

I think nearly everyone is far more clued up on social distancing , and hygiene than they were, if anything good comes out of this, its that.
Think how peoples heads spin round when someone coughs into their mask in a supermarket now ?
The paranoia back in March has been replaced by a sort of considered caution.As far as the numbers dropping over summer , covid infections and deaths virtually flatlined for 3 months in many countries, and many people thought we had seen the back of the worst.
But predictions even back then were dire for the winter months, did the science 'know' something we didnt ?
If this sort of information was available , then WHY 'Eat out to help out' ?
Why send the schools and universities back end of August ?
Why scramble for universal mask wearing after the horse had bolted ?As I said earlier , how were the projections arrived out, would the strategy hold up to scrutiny ?
Agreed , but I think many of them didnt believe it would be enforced.
Maybe issuing fixed penalties isnt the answer anyway , as they could easily take them to court and means test them.But surely the threat would deter the majority, otherwise theres no point in doing it.
Think how peoples heads spin round when someone coughs into their mask in a supermarket now? I see too many in Morrisons/Tesco/JS refusing to even wear masks here in east Kent.
Morons without any respect IMO.

Devastated the economy and the areas employment back then.

I had three years of living in Roswell and there were no little green men, they were actually large red women!! I know it is true because I read it on the official office noticeboard.
