When I worked in Dusseldorf, we went sking at the weekend by train. (Can't remember the name of the place

) But there was some German joke as you left the ski lift "Look out for the Dutch"

Yes Winterberg, we spent most of Friday afternoon checking different web site/cams seeing if there was enough snow. Meet at Dusseldorf station 7am breakfast on train, ski all day. Have pizza delivered to the station for the trip home.

The Germans tend to warn you for the Dutch, but if a 16 stone bloke with a black ski suit squashes your children then flattens you against a rock at 100 kph, before shouting ‘sorry’ and hurtling onwards out of control, it might actually be me.

Sounds like me! When asked about my skiing, I say I have moved on to the next stage, I am not just a danger to myself, but other too
