    It wouldn't travel and there was no time to make other preparations. We drank out of mugs. but then again it is a drastic improvement by their standards. A bit like giving a jungle wallah his first cucumber sandwich.

          What makes people assume that if Germany had won the war, we'd all be speaking German?

          As I recall, Germany lost the war but they don't seem to be speaking English or French.

              Everyone in Germany speaks English. Modern businesses run English courses. English is very much a sought after skill.

                It was not our intention to take over Germany - we did not want to repeat mistakes of Versailles treaty.

                Germany wanted - and still wants to - rule the world. At the moment they are taking to do it via the Euro. Amazing that South Europe falls for it.

                Mind you, everyone knows the way out of the Euro mess. They just don't know how to get re-elected afterwards.

                    They do speak English. Better than many of us.
