    You'll need some kind of special title Marten, if you keep finding all of this German info first. You are like the ETW German Liason .

    If only it wasn't all in German...

    Lets look at National traits for a moment.

    Germany: Efficient & Organized

    British : inefficient & disorganized

    America: Friendly but takes everything to extremes ( talk too much)

    France: propensity for founding political parties

    Dutch: still fascinated with the bicycle

    Is it surprising that the first article came out of Germany or that they have given us good screen shots and new details when all of the English Speaking articles have rehashed all the same old stuff…

    Of all the English Speaking peoples only the Scots have a handle on Efficiency or Organization, and then only when they are sober.

    Are we talking about the same reality here?

    Of all the generalisations never once have I heard of us being disorganised.

    That is true! The British People will Cue for any reason or no reason at all…where as Germans have no concept of forming a line or waiting their turn. Perhaps it should be termed Orderliness… German Organization is a place for everything and every thing in it place. A rule for everything and a certificate to prove it…

    So both are organization but have a different impact on outcomes.

    The British are beyond a doubt some of the most Orderly people on the planet.

    Some people call it being polite but I see what you mean. I cant help but wonder; if everything is going so badly here then why are we having issues with immigration? If this is supposedly an undesireble contry compared to, say, germany or france why are people coming into this contry?

    Mostly because Germany and France have very strong immigrations laws and won't let them in. We will however, so it's a case of here or nothing.

    And however bad we are at the moment we are usually better than wherever they came from. Unless you came from Poland, in which case you are in for a nasty suprise.

    We may be getting a little off-topic however .

    To be fair, we seem incapable of organisation on a governmental level. Look at the state of public transport, and the current nosedive our economy is taking.

    On a personal level however we do like our order. Or we used to, there isn't so much of that anymore. A lot of it is to do with Manners and Politeness. The Victorians were especially big on being punctual, organised and orderly.
