I've worked with plenty of Germans, and a couple of Austrians, but considering how close the countries are , and both seem to speak the same language . They seem to be polar opposites in attitudes and temperaments. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I used to have an Austrian girlfriend who was very pretty maybe that coloured my views of the country,Vienna is a great city for a long weekend away with your lady if your ever thinking of a close city break.

I've never left the UK mack . The Isle of Wight was pushing it for me . My mrs has done her share of travelling, and so have the kids , but I've just never wanted to . I love the UK, and I haven't finished looking around it all yet. I love to read your travel stories , and hear the stories my friends and relatives bring home from around the globe , but I just don't get the urge to do it myself. I'm never happier , than when I'm sitting in a highseat waiting for a deer . Mooching along a hedgerow with my rimfire looking for a couple of rabbits , or just sitting outside my tiny caravan in my woodland, just looking at the very poor quality stone wall that I built , and heads that I carved. I must be a right simple minded feck . 11 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
