Ehrenbürgerschaft...
Ganz genau - arrogant und man fragt sich, worauf er sich was einbildet. Außerdem völlig out of touch (alt) und nur in der Politik fürs eigene Ego. So schade für Deutschland.

Ich habe eine vage Erinnerung, dass ich mich damals gefreut habe, als Merkel ihn rausgekickt hat. Sogar mein Vater, lebenslanger CDU-Wähler, hat mit sich gerungen, ob er ihn wählen soll (ich bin nicht sicher, ob er zum ersten Mal was anderes - SPD???- gewählt hat).

Ich will nicht sagen, dass bloß, weil es hier noch schlechter ist, man mit menopause "expertise" und Behandlung in D zufrieden sein sollte. Ich meinte nur, hier kriegt man HRT, aber besondere gynäkologische Kenntnisse spreche ich den GPs ab. Dachte immer, dass female medicine hier kaum interessiert

Auf der anderen Seite muss man in UK zum GP (Hausarzt), weil es keine unabhängigen Frauenarztpraxen gibt (mit professionellen Geräten). Ich habe jahrelang in Deutschland bezahlt, um einen Frauenarzt zu sehen. GP hier verschreibt HRT an alle, die es wollen, ohne groß zu fragen.

Has your husband lived in Britain for a longer period of time? It took me a while. It is so different in Germany, I had to get my head around so many issues (private schools etc...).

Wer aufmerksam Berichte liest/sieht/hört, dem dürfte spätestens seit Vance Auftritt bei der MSC klar geworden sein, wohin der Hase läuft. @annettedittert.bsky.social hat in der neuesten Ausgabe der @blaetter.bsky.social eindrücklich beschrieben, wie das in GB abläuft. Rausreden gilt nicht mehr.

I won't try to convince you, I really thought they would be better. My MP is Corbyn who was kicked out of Labour, so in order to get rid of him, voting Labour is actually an option.

I heard Corrections is great. Unfortunately, I read Freedom first and found it so boring that I never felt like reading Frantzen again. There are so many other great American writers I read instead that is alright if I missed something reading Corrections.

I lived in Würzburg for almost 5 years and 2 in Nürnberg - I love both cities but frängisch is not my favourite German accent, so never even tried to do it. I will always have a German accent - which is totally fine - but I like British English and do my best to blend in.

Just one thing if I may: St Stephan's is a Catholic church and for me although we are all called Christians, I feel I have nothing in common with Maga evangelicals.

I know this is unrelated but never leave Frankfurt station through the main exit intending to walk towards the centre. It is horrible. I had forgotten and did that 2 years ago, now I would only take the U-Bahn or a cab. That was daytime (don't want to know what is going on at night).
