Just Got Back From Germany

Today, well yesterday now. It was fun tiring and informative, it was also work so I didn't have to pay for it. But let me tell you about some of the random things I have learnt, relearnt or been reminded of over the last two days.

• St Barbara is the patron saint of armourers
• Bavarian food is rather better than I had assumed it would be.
• Dachau is almost a suburb of Munich
• I learnt how to programme the sat nav system in a VW people carrier from a standing start that was in German without the aid of instructions or the back seat navigators sat in the back of the van.
• I may have forgotten most of my schoolgirl German but I had more of the language than any of my British based colleagues with me.
• Abfall is the German for rubbish or litter.
• I remembered that the Germans do have a sense of humour and a funny one at that.
• German TV leaves a lot to be desired.
• South Park in German is wrong.
• Bavaria is beautiful and has lots of churches.
