I am going to defer the decision on that one, to one of our friends from Germany they may disagree..

Can we include the Swiss as well then..their basically German's who make chocolate and cuckoo clocks ?

German, French...all the same.

Hey CC, have I annoyed the hell out of you yet? Ok, I'll give it a break.

[Patsycat]

No, it is the Austrians who make the cookoo clocks.

Living in Switzerland can actually be fun. When asked if i speak Swiss, or Swedish or whether Swaziland gets hot in the Summer.

No no and i don't know.

Germany, don't know much about it. My brother lives in Munich and that's quite nice. Skating on the frozen river, the beer etc.

And the German people i know are just normal people like you and me. Nothing odd about them at all.

Oh lord, where to start CC?

Quite a few good suggestions have been put forward but I have added a few of my own.

The Germans are a very proud race and with good cause to be.

Apart from a few small hiccups in their history (and all major nations have these), we owe a lot to the German race.

Now if you will only develop a sense of humour and stop showing Freddie Frinton (Der 90. Geburtstag) every Christmas, maybe you will be classed as a great nation.

My list:

Johann Sebastian Bach

Anne Frank

Prince Albert

Erich von Manstein (pure genius)

Johannes Brahms

Richard Wagner

Franz Beckenbauer

Gerd Muller

Albert Einstein

Karl Benz

Rudolf Diesel

Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit

Heinrich Hertz

Michael Schumacher

Ah, so you have not met Crazy Chef yet then?

[StefanBBK]

Not an easy question. There are the likes of Karl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler, Otto Lillienthal, Ferdinand Porsche, Robert Bosch, Albert Einstein, Konrad Zuse, Nikolaus Otto, Rudolf Diesel, Manfred von Ardenne, Alexander von Humboldt, Friedrich Schiller, Johann Wolfgang Goethe, Sebastian Bach, Richard Wagner, Immanuel Kant, Werner von Siemens, Martin Luther and so many more.

However my vote goes to Franz Beckenbauer!

[longstebe]

Didi Hamann.

We love Freddie Frinton. I make my Family watch Dinner for One every Christmas, even here, then we "kill that cat" "same procedure as every year".....

[Crazy chef 1]

Arnold Schwarzenegger

Same as the other two chaps- Austrian...

[Patsycat]

I always thought that Crazy Chef was Swiss!!!

Well, there goes my reputation of being able to detect a nationality by the way people write.

I shall now crawl into my Swaziland like mud hut. And mumble.
