It’s worth noting though, on a more serious note, that many buildings in Berlin still have bullet marks – almost certainly Russian ones! The myth about the Germans not having a sense of humour, definitely isn’t true, and I have an example of my own which disproves this, which I will reveal in the next post.<br /><br />Your missus will be fine visiting Germany, as it’s one of the safest countries in the world. I have been visiting the Federal Republic, on a regular basis, for the last decade or so, and have never once felt threatened, or indeed unsafe. Obviously the normal common sense measures, which one would take in any big city apply, but I have staggered back to my hotel, late at night, on many an occasion without any hint of trouble.<br /><br />As for potential problems arising from migration, the media have exaggerated this out of all proportion; as might be expected, so enjoy your trip.<br />Paul Baileyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09678639237696546268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-15579790555356243082017-06-02T17:13:24.202+01:002017-06-02T17:13:24.202+01:00One of my good friends is a Jerry.He's a tiler...One of my good friends is a Jerry.He's a tiler by trade and goes by the nickname of Kraut The Grout which he likes very much.<br />He also has a very good sense of humour which goes against the old cliche about them being a humourless lot.<br />He put up a wall of brick slips for me recently and when I informed him they were from one hundred year old bricks that came from Poland he instantly disagreed saying " I can't see any of our bullet holes in them. "<br />Anyway,I digress.It's many years since I've been to Germany and I'm trying to persuade the missus to accompany me on a trip but she's a little nervous having seen so much news on the TV about the migration problem.<br />What were your experiences on the trip.<br />A great read by the way.<br /><br />Professor Pie-Tinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722137562852954269.post-57536565712504264562017-06-02T10:28:58.467+01:002017-06-02T10:28:58.467+01:00I agree with Dave.
