Reminds me of the Grand Designs episode when the German efficiency/workmanship was being touted as the greatest way to have a seamless flat roof on an extension.
There was no falls in the construction - didn't need them they said - It leaked!!!!!!!!!
Nothing like being patriotic but sometimes you can upset people.

I remember that episode, mmmmm, I'll hold my tongue 😛rrr: :smilewinkgrin:
 
i too loved that one

the theoy is sound but it was poorly applied

one of my customers has a german wife and shes always harping on about british tradesman and how much better the germans are

her father is a property developer in germany and speaks english fluently

he came to stay and i had to decorate two bedrooms for the occasion as one room was a dressing room

i was decorating the dining room when he arrived

he was a sound bloke

he said to me that i shouldnt worry about her always complaining , if my work wasnt up to scratch i wouldnt be there and if the german decorators were any better , they would fly them over

germans are great at complaining and have it down to a fine art

in this country we dont complain, we just whinge and moan
