    And there are actual German's there, and Romanians and Hungarians dressed like Bavarians pretending to be Germans!

    My missus being a fluent German speaker (like studied it for years and got a degree in it and lived there not just like lived there for a bit and think they are fluent) asked one of them carried some shots about in the big tent for sale what they where (in German) and he says, 'I am from Bucharest'. Dressed just like Hitler he was like in his ordinary clothes at Berschesgarten on the 'Fürhrer at home' vids u see on WW2 progs.....

    At least the käsewurst is only three quid, 4.50 in Scumchester.....

    The Mö-grill on Mönkeburgstraße in Hamburg does Pferdewurst, now that thanks to Tesco horse meat is ok I'm having one next time...

    How's about the 22nd Dec (my birthday). ClientCo's pretty easy about time off

    Anytime really just need flights and hotel to be available.

    Expedia giving 10% of hotels if you book with their mobile app - MOBILEEXCLUSIVE10 - which unfortunately doesn't work not using the (cr)app. App assumed double room, so have had two painful calls with an indecipherable gentlemen to get it changed to a twin. Not sure the £30 saving was worth the stress!

    Has the added bonus that I can update my facebook status to "Ich bin ein Hamburger"
