      well done old boy wot wot
      The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

      But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

                  Munich.....that isn't German, its Bavarian.

                  Love the beer down there though nothing like a huge cold Bavarian beer.

                  Get down to the lakes when the weather warms up.

                  When you say tax regime harsh, make sure you're not an employee, you really need to be Freiberufler, I've noticed Brits often end up as "employees". All German contractors without exception are Freiberufler, though some sometimes run a GmbH.

                      Not quite, an applications programmer or tester will more than likely be Selbständig and will have to pay Gewerbesteuer whereas a systems programmer is considered to be like an engineer and so doesn't.
