It ended with one telling the other that he isn’t a real farmer and the guy saying he is indeed.
This was like any other toxic work interaction but somehow the farming terminology made it more endearing

And yes, i did tell them that I was copied in by accident. They were very nice about it, but there are a lot of people involved, hitting those keys. It’s too late to stop them

Thanks for being so generous @dj-acid-reflux.bsky.social . Earlier this week my name was pulled out of the proverbial hat and on Friday I received 1983 and Ring the Hill in the post! #booksky

In the past the German Embassy in London embodied two interesting notions for me 1. Glorious cold war architecture to make citizens feel like an afterthought, 2. The complete absence of service design.

Would be interesting to hear whether any of that has changed

Great episode! Also thank you to listener Dominic who finally gave me an apt translation of the German “verschlimmbessern” with their phrase “improving things worse” - far too useful
