Don’t be stupid. At least we can get shit done over here. If you’ve worked with Germans you’ll know that bureaucracy is stifling.

Dull city that. Beer is crap as well. Well connected though.
The German Sports and Olympics museum next to that is great. Plenty of interactive things in it as well like table tennis, place to kick a football on the roof of it, table football, sit in a bobsled etc. Good value for money.
Really good city for drinking as well, not that it'll be on your radar if you've got the bairn.
We went into a bar/restaurant and the barman asked my daughter if she wanted kolsch. She said she was only 16. He said "so?" and plonked a glass in front of her

To be fair they're the ideal serving size for someone new to it!

They don’t suffer the short term shareholder profit pressure that we do.
Every investment viewed far more longer term. Engineering is invested in and so many successful businesses are still family owned.

I worked for Hella, automotive lighting in Procurement.
Based in Lippstadt.
Had a chance to move permanently but the lure of supporting the mighty Swindon was too much to give up
Used to enjoy my time there and met some real good people.

Always enjoyed working in Germany.
Early 80's in the shipyards in the old West Germany in Bremerhaven, Hamburg and Rendsburg.
Went back for an engineering job in Stuttgart after the re-unification. It was OK - the schwabisch people down in the South are a tad different (not as welcoming to foreign workers) from those up in the North.

Even as late as the early 90’s I was amazed that on the shop floor the vending machines had beer in them.

Beer before work started at 07:00, 9 O'clock break with more beer, dinnertime beers and schnapps, then after-work beers before showering up at work.
Go to work dressed and come home dressed and slightly pissed.
Happy days - earning good money to boot.
Surely you've spelled 'ut wrong there, marra.
For the record, was his accent any good?

I was amazed when I found out he was a cockney. The accent was so good I would have sworn he was from these parts.

You may find this worth investigating.

Travellers can still take advantage of Germany's €49 public transport ticket this year thanks to government funding.
