Eat Germany ? Nope, not just at the moment, I just had a good lunch - please excuse me.
As for the eighteen year bit ... did you visit Germany this last little while ? I get to visit several times a year. Believe me, there is seperation of the body - like with a wall down the middle, and you're right the wall has been down for a moment. But there is also seperation of the mind-set ... comes from two differant methods of education. This seperation is still alive and kicking in both East and West Germany and we need to be careful with it
