Why @Nigel_Farage on @adamboultonSKY on @SkyNews, should anyone "Respect" the biggest democratic vote .. blah.. Referendum when it has been proven to have been criminally financed? And since when has Big meant Better.
You admitted as much on German TV doc into the Ref campaign
Why do Sky throw dubious shady lobbyists (both sides) into limelight instead of doing some proper investigative journalism? I applaud Ocean Rescue & environment stuff, respect other bits other social & health issues but why nothing on biggest (!) crime against UK citizens.
Why does German Press have to investigate Nigel's crimes? How often do you invite @carolecadwalla to give you some views? I understand Press need headline stuff to make money but surely uncovering "Leave" would be the biggest coup.
This short doc on 19/3 zdf.de/politik/fronta…
Followed the next day by this rather longer one titled "Attack on Democracy" & showing @Nigel_Farage openly laughing at the dumb British citizens who he took in with his stupid rhetoric. Very painful to watch as Britain sinks, swamped by illegal ££$$. zdf.de/dokumentation/…
For 2 years Germany has simply looked on mystified but now it's a daily source of jokes approaching "Emergency Mental Hospital Ward 10". Nigel is a dangerous clever criminal but now we even get to see the dangerously-ignorant criminals such as @DKShrewsbury on our daily TV screen
He appears in this show which goes on to show "Viagra being stockpiled in case of a Hard Brexit". @DKShrewsbury note this one: "You can still be in the EU and be an egotistical arsehole, just like we Germans do"

Dear Britain
Stop this suicidal dive to the bottom of the ocean. Prosecute the criminals & let those who believe Britain is better out, make a detailed plan of exactly what they want, get Parliament to agree on it & then start again. #ChangePolitics and think about @TheIndGroup
1. Christmas Eve muddle. OH announces 9:30 'walk dog, I'm off to Munich'! On plus side remembered I needed Kicher Erbsen, chick peas for hummus, & fresh bread so dashed 1st to small village supermarket hoping something on shelves before they close at 13:00 till Monday🙏

2. Luckily some basics available in supermarkets, but only just. Then took off for walk in drizzle, seeking shelter of forest from wind. Bavarian radio announcing 'Last Christmas' was #2 in UK charts.
God is large in Nature, if you want to see God larger, stand by a cross

3. Back home & unpack food. Got given a cloth bag as Christmas 🎁🎁 from village bakery. No fresh bread until Monday but thinking about Weisswurst & Brezn for tonight's 'humble' Christmas Eve meal. Sausages, mash & sauerkraut still very traditional here in Bavaria.
More to come..
One of most horrific events I have witnessed was British Petition system after Brexit with call for People's Referendum. How can anyone claim that Democracy exists in UK?
Not perfect, but let me tell you about Bavarian petition held about same time & has to do with this video

2. (Background)
Bavaria 13m pop. 10m voters
Land mass same as Rep of Ireland, 20% of Germany's total land.
86% of land for agriculture & forest. Loads of major rivers incl Danube to Med, Main to North Sea.
Land & Water critical
Own Parliament & MPs.
Want a petition?..

3. Petition, Rules. 1. Write full legal text of law you want & why it is important, what it's aims are 2. Get 25k signatures, hand in for checking if text legal 3. If approved, petition put in town halls 14 days & must collect 1m (10%) certified signatures.
If successful.../4
Going to my German village supermarket in next hour. Anyone thinking food shortages and petrol shortages are rampant here too like me to video the empty shelves and petrol station queues? Perhaps Daily Express reader out there?
OK, I'm sure the requests are leg pulling but here you go, own fault.
Village 1700 inhabitants satellite franchise supermarket of national chain Edeka. It's 11am and it closes in 2 hours. The main supermarket is 3km away coming up in another clip

2. For the supermarket pretty busy so couldn't get to all the fresh fruit eg strawberries. Remember closes in 2 hours so not refilling fresh stuff. Here the dry, frozen, chilled and some of drinks.

Brexit Revenge, guess I deserved it for being totally over the top last few months, provoking them.
Short thread.
GPs in Germany have very short opening times, typically under 20hrs/week. Last Friday was bragging about no appointment 15-minute wait incl jab, blood test

Dr had given me paper to get an X-Ray. Monday phoned local radiology unit, Wednesday done. Thursday dropped off X-ray copy at GP & ask when I shd come when full report rec'd. In meantime asked them to review vaccine passport as 8 (non-Covid) vaccines out of date.

...to leave when receptionist said go to waiting room, doc would take a look at vaccines now! Enter empty waiting room - GP had been open 15 mins & still for 75 minutes. Waited, lots of activity & voices, & waited & waited...40 mins gone & waited when receptionist..

Angela Merkel's beloved thrifty folk in SW Germany also homeland loving & caring.
Farmer with field bordering river & ditches, hand rakes little heaps of hay for must be kilometre or more.
At first only saw abandoned tractor.../2

And then I spotted him, carefully raking each blade of grass. Normally his wife also helps. Mustn't waste anything but beavers (encouraged here) make banks dangerous for machines.
Some may find it strange walking over farmers field but here normal & in constitution.../3

Property rights here very different. These paths can be used by walkers, bikers, horse riders, skiers like I guess bridleways but no fences unless specifically animals out. Same in all forests. But you must respect land too especially in growing season & stick to paths.../4
Thanks for good wishes earlier. Turned out trainee (older one) as well & OH joined in too as she couldn't ride out. When they called y'day to say coming at 8:30 I replied 8:15 then, lady in office laughed. They come from 100km away & we were last drop off in morning! Germans!

Wagner been delivering since 2006, pellets c/h since Nov 05. Almost always had 1 of 2 drivers but on hols. This is one of their small 3-axle HGVs. I don't bother to get quote before ordering, I know they will give best price. Drivers even have slippers when entering house!

6 tonnes =3,000 liters oil, blown in through one hose and air pressure + any dust sucked out in other. Pellets loaded automatically by screw & suction via pipes 1x 2x day into day hopper. Ash tray needs to be emptied about 1x month. No oil stench!
