There's a shop in Swakopmund that sells all that stuff.Originally posted by zeitghostSo Teutonic the pointer almost fell off the end of the scale.
Where might one purchase a pickelhaube?
Peter's Antiques
Bit of a trip, but I'm sure they'll do mail order. Oh, but if you do go, there's a German pub around the corner that serves excellent lentil soup. You'd like it.Last edited by Mich the Tester; 19 October 2012, 07:33.

I'm Finnish. Never been poor, always had something left over but equally I'll spend tulip loads on holidays/hobbies and don't really save for the long term. More of a medium term saver
Save for a bit then spank it on something i want

I answered that and still got the fatherland, maybe what you thought was the "right" answer wasn't quite rightOriginally posted by Gentile View PostFinland for me. The only "negative" answer I gave was the one about what is your biggest outgoing every month (interest on a loan - i.e., my mortgage which is on an interest + repayment basis). So I can only imagine that someone renting their home would be considered better off by this particular test!
