    Germany.
    I was there last week and was thinking how when I was a kid in the 70's/80's Germany was so much more in the national consciousness. So much post-war unease about it, all the comedy stuff like allo allo and fawlty towers, all the football rivalry and penalties, politics and nazi trials.
    Now it's just a nice place to go on holiday. When I was a kid no one would have dreamed of going there on holiday.

    It always was a nice place :). When I lived there, visiting Brits doing the hilarious "don't mention the war" thing used to get right on my wick. Used to completely mystify the Germans.

    I used to have one when I worked at Lansing bagnalls. It had their Pegasus horse on the back and I loved it :). I think I have it a mate who wanted it.

    Anywhere in Bavaria's good, and Munich's great. Take a stroll round Nymphenberg Palace (used to be at the end of my road :)) and go down by the river in Pullach, one of my fave places for a beer. If you want to be a real tourist, go to Neuschwannstein - worth a trip. Loads of places. You've made me feel homesick now...
