Questions the British have for the Germans!?

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.

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.

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.

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.

hows public transport in more rural areas? cause in germany public transport execept for large cities its shit

[@TheHabsification]

Depends, the more rural it is, the more terrible or non-existent it is, but that depends county-by-county and it depend on the population centres.

[@ThatTallGuy0]

Public transport in uk is shite full stop 😂

[@Echodolly6]

It depends on each area. Some UK areas have their transport together and it's well organised. I've been to some rural areas that have really impressed me with the ease of getting around. I've also been to some rural areas that are impossible to travel in without your own car or bike. It's all about money. If it's a tourist hotspot, there will be better chances of transport. If it's some tiny village in the arse end of nowhere then good luck finding a bus to get there! Trains are a shit-show! I would have to sell my kidneys and my first born child to afford train tickets in the UK if I want to go further than 50 miles.

[@marksauck3399]

My ancestors from both sides of my family came from Germany in the 19th century. I believe we German-Americans still hold attributes that seem embedded in our DNA. That is, precision, order and discipline. We show that in the things we make and the way we raise our children. Just look at the Amish in America.

[@hmvollbanane1259]

My question is: Why are the Brits (seemingly) so obsessed with comparing themselves in a competing manner with us? 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. The contrast of seemingly deep rooted rivalry to rather indifferent fondness always baffles me when encountering British media, especially around world cups when our blood pressure rises at anything orange or Italian but any English speaking advertisement (even in Canada) seems to be obsessed with England versus Germany

[@Englishman-_-Mongolia2022]

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.

I love London, visited it three times. No one cares how you look or what you wear. So many things to see and explore. And I also would like to explore other parts of the country someday. ❤ And no, I don’t think the Brexit was a good idea. But it’s what a lot of countries head to… keeping other people out, because you are so afraid of losing something. The price paid is more right winged thinking and even excluding minorities in your own country and taking their rights away. 😢

[@jayveebloggs9057]

what rights... ? Sorry but you need to do some better research

[@delenngrey9492]

@@jayveebloggs9057 that was more a general point (not an actual thing in the UK - as far as I know up to this day). I thought that should be clear by writing „what a lot of countries head to“. But take a look at the USA: women’s rights taken away in a lot of states; LGBTQIA+ getting criminalized again; books banned by hundreds. I really hope, the UK won’t take this path!

​@@delenngrey9492 it seems that people support indigenous culture in general but the UK has to lose its culture and be grateful? Id be more concerned about losing rights as a result of cultures that oppress women, curb free speech etc. In the UK recently an autistic schoolboy scuffed a Koran and got death threats... I imagine you never hear of such things though...

@@jayveebloggs9057 of course I’ve read about that. It’s disturbing. Religion is dividing mankind instead of bringing it together. Immigration exists not only in our time - mankind is still existing.

It’s also a problem here in Germany: integration should be way better. - Which right did you lose? Please tell me.

i have a very unpopular opinion about brexit... in the short term, and i mean 3-5 years, it will be shit for the UK but after that they will grow stronger than ever before i think. and also europe did lose quite a lot with the brexit.

[@diedampfbrasse98]

thats not at all an unpopular opinion, a lot of ignorant and/or uneducated people believe the same nonsense ... its understandable given how many people dont understand economics and international trade/politics. Thankfully brexit is forcing some lessons onto those people, I see that as one of the very few benefits of brexit. Funny thing is, even the people (Tories) who are behind brexit and in charge of making it happen right now no longer share your silly believe that it will turn good in just 3-5 years ... they already admitted and laid out that it will take at least a decades (even if it somehow goes according to their poor plan), one of the many corrections they had to make after "project fear" started to become reality.

Well brexit was about making our own laws, spending our own money and controlling our own borders... what is so wrong about that? We got less money than we put in and didn't decide where it could be spent. We had no control over our borders and were importing the population of Birmingham every 3 years at the time of the vote. Cameron went to the EU on these points and got nothing. It was the EU that was the problem. I hate it when people say we didn't want to be part of Europe. It was the EU as people reasoned it wasn't working for the UK or at least it wasn't working for their part of the UK. . But don't worry we are being punished now... and of course the EU works at every level for Germany who effectively control it
