Why Germans are Cool
1. They always arrive on time. Which is very cool if you're running a workshop.
2. The manager of their national football, Jurgen Klinsman lived in California during the World Cup.
3. They were the most exciting team during the World Cup - until Italy knocked them out - hurrah!
4. They celebrate Christmas really well with their traditional Christmas markets.
5. Christmas always starts on time, ie this week. On Tooting High Steet the Christmas lights were switched on in October
6. They make the best kitchen appliances. Our new German oven has a 'dough proving' setting which is really cool. I can't wait to make pizza.
7. Our Bosch washing machine is much better than our crappy Italian Zanussi.
8. When you catch a taxi in Germany it is always a Mercedes. And you can pay with credit cards.
9. German taxis always arrive on time.
10. Forget Blue Nun. German white wines are fab.
