Why Germany is fooked ...

[OwlHoot]

.. The clever City bods who lose their jobs are much more adaptable than an auto worker in Germany - so Germany will have much more to do.

Maybe the German workers will just switch to Heinkels and U Boats. Worked for a while last time

You have never conceded an inch in any "debate" in which you have engaged yourself. You have always gone to whatever irrational length that you deemed fit in order to "protect" your position. It is this that makes you a joke and an object of ridicule that can be wound up so well.

A perfect summary.

Germany's economy doesn't look too bad looking at the Wiki:

Germany is the largest national economy in Europe, the third largest by nominal GDP in the world, and ranked fifth by GDP (PPP),[67] its growth rate in 2007 was 2.4%. Since the age of industrialisation the country has been motor, innovator and beneficiary of an ever more globalized economy. The export of goods "Made in Germany" is one of the main factors of the country's wealth. Germany is the world's top exporter with $1.133 trillion exported in 2006 (Eurozone countries are included) and generates a trade surplus of €165 billion.[68] The service sector contributes around 70% to the total GDP, the industry 29.1% and agriculture 0.9%. Most of the country's products are in engineering, especially in automobiles, machinery, metals, and chemical goods.[23] Germany is the leading producer of wind turbines and solar power technology in the world. The largest, annual, international trade fairs and congresses are held in several German cities such as Hanover, Frankfurt and Berlin.

Lidl checkout assistant?

German company (along with Aldi) so with everyone being skint now then everyone will be shopping there and they'll be raking it in.

I work just down the road from a big Mercedes factory here and one of the cutbacks is that they've made the winter holiday for the workers longer than normally (I also heard that the S class assembly line made a number of cutbacks some time ago cos the wanks weren't buying them in such large numbers.)
