when will the anti german feeling end?

[Mick-Talbot]

I know many Germans and I have always been welcomed in Germany both in the east and west.

I lived in Germany for 3 years and loved every minute. People speak of their attitude about nicking sunbeds. If we were up earlier we would do the same.

I see WBA, I trust that support will wane when they play England?

[mightyWBA]

It certainly will!

I've been married to one for nearly 38 years :)
But if I hear much more yelling and shouting coming from the direction of the front room........we may not make it to 39:)

LOL shaney. I've been to Frankfurt and Berlin and the people were very pleasant. I was struck by how close we are in our appearance, architecture and general
attitude to life. Appart from the signs in Frankfurt you could be in any british city.

True Count .My old chap is a lovely man and has a lovely family .Sadly my dear in laws have now passed away .He hails from a small town near Dusseldorf .I worked and lived in Germany for a while and loved it .His family made me so welcome when we got married and I still keep in touch with lots of elderly ladies that I 've inherited from ma in law :) And of course we have many other relatives there still.

When I was in Spain, I went to houses that were German, Spanish and English owned, respectively.

'Twas always the Germans and NOT the Spanish or English who would offer tea, coffee, sandwiches, cakes and freshly squeezed OJ. They were hospitable to a fault.

Haha NM ...my ma in law could entertain for "Ganz Deutschland und der Welt ".
You have no idea how many tea ;coffee services and tablecloths I inherited when she died ;) Bless her .The Germans are very gastfreundlich .The coffee and cake is on the table before you even get your coat off ;0)

I don't think we as a country, England, are any more antagonistic to foreigners than any other country, we just take a great delight in knocking ourselves over every negative thing, a Schadenfreude attitiude.
In America, the antagonism is between different states which can be quite funny, and they're not too fond of the French, or us at the moment I suppose.
Having lived in Germany for many years, the people were really no different than anywhere else, a mixture of attitudes, prejudices etc.
