  • So I returned to Ulm, to ask questions the British have sent me to ask the Germans yes Brexit came up. As I thought but the reaction was so much better than I thought I would have got! I loved meeting all of you lot, I really hope we meet again maybe in the street again.

    Fun fact: the UK national anthem used to be the German national anthem , too (until 1918). Not all that surprising if you think about the close family ties between the Royals, though. (Queen Victoria was Emperor Wilhelm II's grandmother)

      As an American, I believe British royalty is something only women love because it incorporates the fairy tales of princes and princesses. It has all the romance and now gossip most of us guys find boring and a big waste of time. My wife just loved it all. Couldn’t get enough of it. This attitude I believe is world wide.

      Because of that, I own a bread machine and make my own. The best thing is, not only do you not eat what is essentially a high fat low nutrient bread that's only any good as somewhere to put butter, but you never need to worry about air fresheners because your home always smells AMAZING!

    German folk have hearts of gold. I can never understand how they constantly get labelled as dull and rude.
    My question, or should I say series of questions to German's is just about linguistics...
    1. Can you opt out of learning English in the German education system.
    2. How often do you speak English in your day to day routine?
    3. All German's sound the same to me😂😂, do you have drastically different sounding accents in your country? Like Cockney and Scouse in England or New Yorker accent and Texan drawl?

      1. Usually you can't. You Start at 5th Grade with it but there are offen different classes for different depth on it. Depends on If you are go to the Hauptschule, Mittlere Reife or Gymnasium.
      2. Most of Germany dont speak a Lot. But are surroundet by english language (music, TV, Commercial) usually it depends on your Job..
      3. There are thousands of accents. North Germans Sounds totally different to south Germans ans east to West. And often there ist a different accent inside a local area..

      Germans know much more about Britain because they are true Europeans with a better educated population in general. German people also seem much more pragmatic and interested in collective welfare. It is a hard thing to see how angry, blind and bigoted so many of the British people have become and I really do think education is the key. It seems a lack of critical thinking and human empathy lies behind this. I am British by birth this time and my heart expands with love toward our German friends.

    Questions for the Brits:
    1. Why did you invent the “continental breakfast” and blame a whole continent (of which your island is part, by the way) of very diverse countries with very diverse culinary traditions for this abomination?
    2. Why have you neglected your seaside towns so badly?
    The first German seaside holiday places were modelled on UK towns (visit Norderney and the architecture looks like Brighton). But while German seaside towns are upmarket, well kept, surrounded by pristine nature and packed with German tourists that worship the North Sea even when the rain blows horizontally, their British equivalents have headed in the opposite direction. Why?
    Socks&Sandals: The older generation wears them for the same reason as my 8yo: It’s practicality over style! You head out early in the morning while it’s still chilly with socks and take them off in lunch break, when it’s hot.

      @@magmalin The thing with sandals and socks is a stereotype we have, as some Germans do actually wear such things. Dying in the Alps because of bad footwear isn't a stereotype, I've never claimed that. Also there are different types of bad footwear, like sneakers, house shoes (yes, some people wear those) and also tracking shoes, not just the stereotypic sandals, I know.
      Fact is that many people think that a mountain isn't dangerous, but there is a good reason why most mountains in Austria were first climbed by non natives. The natives always had respect for them and didn't want to risk their lives just to have a good view. The Alps are just as harsh a desert.

    It feels to me like whenever Germany gets mentioned in UK news, sports, documentaries or even comedy there is a deep rooted rivalry towards Germany whereas here the focus is on Italy, France and the Netherlands (especially in football) when looking for comparisons/ rivalries whereas the UK is mostly just checked as a bit weird, nice but overall rather obscure in comparison to those stoned cheese heads, smelly frog eaters and overdramatic spaghetti munchers.

    I would really like to know how you as a nation cope with your legacy as colonial empire. For example the Germans were technological superior in the time before the world wars and thus felt humiliated by the treaty of Versailles. This sence of degradation became the soil for the rise of evil. Hence I often wondered if there is a sence of injustice left in Britain regarding the gap between the power you once wielded and the struggle of these days. Europe in general has lost its former power, but I could imagine that for the brits this must feel wierd considering they did not loose the war.

      Our colonial empire finished generations ago, I would say many young people in Britain today are probably not even aware of it or at the very least the extent of it so there is absolutely no sense of injustice regarding a lack of power or status we previously may have had. The legacy of the empire in my opinion is the immigration from the Indian subcontinent in the 1960's and 1970's. As the Second World War generation has now mostly passed on, I think the vast majority of Brits now don't think about it so much and now when thinking about Germany would think about football, beer and other far more positive things!.

    it's a general cliche about germans and some germans actually are like that... but it's also a joke amongst germans.
