I wonder if the Germans and Poles flagellate themselves after each 
Contest the way we Brits do.   My wounds
are seeping blood!!!!!!!!!

Between arguing to the Nth degree about how the team is chosen and then 
discussing the rules ad nauseam to see whether we have been rolled over 
(again) by the Germans (towels and beaches) perhaps we should be 
discussing how we can do better!!!!

How do we prove that the German stations use different callsigns from 
the same location and if we can what have we done about it.

Two thing we Brits excel at are Queuing and winging

Gawd we are like a bunch of old wimmen arguing over a bingo call..

If we are going to accuse the Germans of cheating - we'd better be sure 
of our facts - if we are not going to be accusers - lets close this 
thread and get back to more mundane things........
