Andy Is the practice of drinking cold beer chased by iced-cold schnapps still prevalent? I remember taking an American to a bar in Cologne, back in the seventies, and introducing him to this practice. His comment on the schnapps was "rather nice - like refrigerated gasoline". The "Skorpio" eh? I didn't think you were a Ford man! Ian Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Dresden is a very interesting place to visit. Well worth it. So thanks to Andy. Pity about the Hilton in the town centre, though. That really needs to be torn down and replaced with something that doesn't look so out of place. Like the houses that used to be there. HJ Reply | Report as offensive | Link

Having lived in West Germany(when it was called that) on and off for 40 years, I visited Dresden soon after the 'Wall' came down. The museums were fantastic but the city was so run down it would be difficult to see how it would ever be restored. With the exception of some wonderful buildings in the centre the place was the most drab, filthy and depressing city I have seen. I wonder if all the DMarks the reluctant West Germans poured into it have had any effect? Reply | Report as offensive | Link
