I also live in Spain and find the people here have a lot to offer to the Germans and a lot to learn from them.. people should mix!!!!! some will learn punctuality, some will learn to express cordiality, some will spread that wonderful warmth around them and change those stuck-up in their title-mania, some will improve their efficiency, some will become less arrogant and learn to speak in CARINNO-tone rather than "SCHEISSE".. Europe can only win by getting together..we all need diluting.. remember the whole is more the the sum of its parts..  SALUDOS stuck in a time-warp Kevin??  wake up… I also live in Spain and find the people here have a lot to offer to the Germans and a lot to learn from them.. people should mix!!!!! some will learn punctuality, some will learn to express cordiality, some will spread that wonderful warmth around them and change those stuck-up in their title-mania, some will improve their efficiency, some will become less arrogant and learn to speak in CARINNO-tone rather than “SCHEISSE”..

The latter will soon realize what serious and hard-working lot they are and the Spaniards will find the Germans much more relaxed than they expected.

And Spain wasn't even at war with Germany in the last 400 or so years. Yawn, Kevin, what an out-dated remark! And Spain wasn’t even at war with Germany in the last 400 or so years.

The tardiness, laziness, disorganisation, pointless bureaucracy. But people here have little with which to compare it. The idea of emigration and work exchange is a fantastic one, for Spain and I think the idea of Spanish workers moving to Germany is an absolutely brilliant one. Nothing teaches like real life experience and if people here want to learn what a REAL work ethic is and how to be allowed to think laterally and work with initiative there's nowhere better to learn this the Germany. Many will come back. Some won't be able to hack it but many will become successful and come back and bring a new vigour and attitude to Spanish culture. I often look around at the natural resources of Spain, at the potential that lies untapped and wish I was in a position to exploit the opportunities out here. Maybe I won't get that chance but it's fantastic if in 1, 5 or 10 years there are Spanish people here, really making this place work. Spain is a great country and I wish the Spanish workers emigrating to Germany the very best of luck. I experience the Spanish work ethic and Spanish work practices every day – I live here.

Look at their economies - who won? In fact compare the British economy to the German economy - who won? We go into recession and cut, cut, cut to prevent any potential growth. The Germans go into recession and invest their way out. Don't mention ze war? I think most Germans have moved beyond that. It's a shame we Brits are still stuck in the past.  Why?
