Quote:

The whole surge in the interest in etiquette comes amidst soul-searching among Germans about a slow-poke economy, an educational system that has lost its edge and a general feeling that "Made in Germany" is becoming a synonym for mediocrity.

When a major newspaper asked prominent Germans why this nation was no longer excelling in such areas as sport and manufacturing and science, a number of respondents blamed it all on selfishness and lack of consideration for others.

That Germans are ill-mannered is no suprise to the Poles Russians, Greeks, and most of the other countries in Europe. I seem to remember two gigs in the first 50 years in the last century in wich the Germans were VERY ill mannered! :shock:

Edit....were my comments considered hate speech??? Razz
