I suppose it is natural for Germans. The old holiday + beach towel scenario springs to mind.


Thats not a Germany exclusive thing. People from the UK do that too and many other countries.

I even knew a czech couple  standing up at 9 AM to reserve a place on the beach.

 

Totally retarded. All just to lie in the sun for hours and get drunk. I would rather shoot myself than do that. My beaches must be relatively empty or I am not going to even bother to lie down there.

 

Yes, I know that it is not exclusive to Germans. But it is an original German thing. In the 1930's when Hitler started subsidising German workers to go on holidays abroad - something no one else in Europe did at the time -  created the first wave of "Germans first on the beach with a towel" jokes.

Later when Germany (West) recovered from the war in the 1960s and their economy began to kick ass the second wave of German tourists flocking to European beaches the jokes began all over again.

But as you stated it is not exclusive to Germans any longer.

Well, that's interesting, I will go to Saturn now and take a look if the still have some PS4s there. They still had X1s for the whole day so it's gonna be interesting.


I'm assuming Saturn is a store I've never heard of because if you're going to another planet, you're going to be disappointed.

Ha! Tiroler



“It appeared that there had even been demonstrations to thank Big Brother for raising the chocolate ration to twenty grams a week. And only yesterday, he reflected, it had been announced that the ration was to be reduced to twenty grams a week. Was it possible that they could swallow that, after only twenty-four hours? Yes, they swallowed it.”
