German economy hits ten year high ...

The Danes claim they invented soft ice cream, whereas all we Brits know for a fact that Mr Whippy it is actually one of Margeret Thatchers claims to fame, before she decided to convert to law and eventually become the greatest prime minister the country ever had.

Even more delusional than usual. I prefer the boastful posts about italian erotica or whatever it is.

Wikipedia says:

One important development in the 20th century was the introduction of soft ice cream. A chemical research team in Britain (of which a young Margaret Thatcher was a member)[10][11] discovered a method of doubling the amount of air in ice cream, which allowed manufacturers to use less of the actual ingredients, thereby reducing costs. This ice cream was also popular amongst consumers who preferred the lighter texture, and most major ice cream brands now use this manufacturing process

Why not?

Didn't she have a degree in and practise Chemistry before she became a politician?

Well they've hit a ten year high just after a fifty year low. Just to put things in perspective. 1998 till 2008 has probably been the worst decade for Germany.

I have to agree. Germany has been in a total mess for years with massive unemployment and a benefits culture. What they did get right, in addition to Hartz IV(which forced people off of benefits) was to control immigration and disallow movements from the new EU entrants such as Poland for seven years, and put their own people first.
