£5 is a bit OTT for parking, ours is £3.65 for up to 4 hours.  Hope your results are ok, I'm still waiting for mine from 10th March  but as you say, comforting in a way.

In the 70s these 'Gastarbeiter' used to hang about on street corners, smoking their smelly fags and eyeing up the many local blonde women.  I was one of those blonde women !     

Germany has had them a lot longer then we have. I had work trips to the Ford plants in Cologne area in the 70s and there were many working in them there then. Ansu's use of guest workers is a direct translation of the German word Gastarbeiter.

Quote from: ansu on Today at 10:06:03 AMYou are right, we have lots of muslims in Germany, above all since 2015. Formerly it were Turkish guest workers.
In big cities they live in special districts - like Kreuzberg in Berlin.
In our town they live mainly in the town centre where apartments are cheap, but as far as I can judge they slowly move in apartments everywhere in our town. In the street where I live there only lived Germans - above all seniors - now the residents are multicultural.
In the flats of my mother there live a family from the Kosovo, a Turkish family, 2 families from Lithuania and 2 young men from Ukrainia - up to now no problems arised - neither with regard to their religion nor their nationality.
Integration is a bit a problem as German is a difficult language and many wives of muslim families don't speak or attend German lessons. Their role is to care for the family - as in Great Britain they often have lots of children. However, there's a change visible at the so-called "second generation".
Some years ago I was invited to a Turkish wedding and I had the impression that such events are also so-called marriage markets - but I am not sure.

That is interesting.  From what you say, your immigrants are largely from Turkey or East Europe, whereas ours seem to be largely from Pakistan and possibly other middle-east countries.
As here, yours seem to live together in specific areas and, certainly here in the UK, such areas have become majority non-British areas.
I don't know the details in Germany, but I suspect that here in the UK we provide more for our illegal immigrants than any other country in Europe.  Many arrive here illegally and are promptly housed in hotels, given food, free healthcare, free advice and legal services, etc., etc.  Little wonder why so many want to move from Europe to the UK!  Entirely our own fault, of course or, more correctly, our government's!

Went out early to the shop today.. before breakfast.
 People were in the park walking dogs and jogging.. I couldn't believe the number of people with bare arms.. 
I wrote a list... and still missed one item out.. bugger.
