could be why we all drink beer the day long.

food and drink delivery? I forget how old fashion this area is.

We do have Lieferando..... with two Döner and one Pizza shop.

There was a lad here who opened a type of magnet wave shop a few year back. He was a well respected local sport person. He owned and started the fitness studio I've been a member of about 14 year ago. Something in that wet noodle between his ears went to mush and he searched for investors into this ...

How much for the "EWOH" behind it, one must wonder....

Right, this is an odd one.... to me. I've been a member of the local business club for a time now. I'm quite passive in the club as I simply have neither the time nor desire to attend the odd meeting. Unbeknownst to me, seems we have Gutscheinen. I've heard FA on these, until a few weeks back when I...

I don't think that any German institution would work with US citizens. Yet to hear about one. There is a problem with some bank officers even if you want to open just a regular Savings account. Absolute rubbish! I rarely state such a thing to a person, but you are 100% incorrect. Foreign nationals ...

As a small business you are not the issue, you most probably pay decent rates for the shipping. The problem is the big companies, Amazon, eBay, Zalando, Temu, Shein, etc. They get to pay very little for postage and they are the ones driving everything to the bottom. And they are so big that the pos...

To add fuel to the fire. A neighbour came round the shop late yesterday with a package for me. It was left in front of their door.

This is the drama I deal with near on weekly.

People want free delivery so I guess it drives everything down, even for paying customers. Not sure what you're on about. For inner Germany purchases, I do not charge a postal fee. So what does that have to do with the competence or lack thereof with the delivery firms? I guess competition is good....

I truly hope this sparks a good debate. Not long after Germany created minimum wage and just prior to me opening my own shop, I worked for one of the small local postal delivery companies. The pay and conditions were utterly horrid. I lasted three months. Just before I left (December) I took a nasty...

Ha, I'm sure some people would try in the hope the tax office wouldn't ask for proof of the costs.

sure some people have done in the hope

They are brokers or maklers. They do not carry your insurance or your investments, but have connections towards insurance companies and investment firms who are. I believe Underwriter is another term. I have them for my haftpflichtversicherung, again not them directly. John_g directed me to them whe...

Couple of thoughts.... The Kleiderspende bins where the glass containers are. If we have them in the Allgäu, one would think Berlin as well. Aye, these are not clothes, but I'm sure the Red Cross can sort them out. Again the Allgäu... we have two Facebook groups that offer the ability to give up one...

looks akin to our monthly Allgäu calendar.

Let's assume the German "Job Center" has a flat with a non-leaking roof in "Jerkmater upon Pee" (80km away from Munich, in the dark parts of the old Bavaria) and would allow you to stay there for free, would you say "no" (because it isn't Munich)? I'll have you know Mr...

The "voice" has been silenced. RIP Mr Jones.

BTW, the 1977 film was the only one I attended or cared to. I'm also no a Star Wars fan. Always found James Earl a massive presence on screen.

If ever comes the day where I need to "make you talk"... Information noted.

That would be torture....

Ok... now I'm glad I missed the meet.

Nice that it was again a successful meet. I will do my best to attend the next one.

Sadly, I will no be able to attend the gathering on the weekend. I do wish you all a nice Sunday. Next time....
