            Yes, much more emphasis on English speaking since then. The older generations are a bit more patchy.

              No wonder, thats the middle of nowhere, they don't even speak proper German there. I was actually down near there a few weeks ago as an old friend, English in fact, lives there who used to be the bass player for Manfred Mann and now plays quite a few gigs in that area. Good wine though...

                It wasn't an age-specific limitation.

                  Shouldn't this be a "boomed thread" - sounds like they've got a cracking new role for you!

                  And using your own equipment is a great IR35 indicator
