Yeah, the climate and the culture... hard to tell them apart.

Including the rule that a guideline isn't a rule. And can therefore be ignored. Ask the Greeks...

Ah but in Germany it is the law, not a guideline, you can get fined and even arrested for using certain noisy pieces of equipment on a Sundays (Ruhetag) in Germany

What gets me is the bin men coming round at just after 6am with a really noisy truck. I'm usually up but most people aren't.

I think what Ophic was saying is that Germany tends to ignore EU rules when they want to and describe them as '''guidelines'........

At least you're still with us, unlike Barry Chuckle

Rest up and let the doctors and nurses get you back on track

In the interest of Bibs health I think I should volunteer to take that nurse home

Got bitten by a squadron of ticks last night.
Ankle now very big and painful. Doesn't feel like the cortisone and steroid cream is doing anything. I have a history of reacting badly to ticks. On top of that the youngest today got admitted to hospital.
Great start to the family holiday!
