I suppose it's not so long ago that Trochowski and Podolski would have been good German names anyway. To be fair, it's not as if the handful of players with a Turkish background in the German squad is in any way different to the handful of players with, say, an Afro-Caribbean background in the England squad. They just have more obviously "different" names to your Schmidts and Kuntzes.

On second thoughts, I might pass on lunch today.

There are only two counties that can be in, Lancashire, or Yorkshire, but the smart money would be on Yorkshire. The smart money is on Warwickshire.

If we're talking national culinary stereotypes, I feel our tinned delights could be improved by the application of a layer of spray-on cheese.

FYP

The world will end when you pay £3 for a loaf of bread. I paid € 2.80 for a loaf the other day. You can do that quite easily in That Lahndan if you go to the right poncey deli.
