Love Henning Wehn, our British quirks and ability to see how ridiculous they are and laugh - so putting them together a winning formula.
This didn't fail as we are great at taking the piss out of our very own British stereotype (though I may be exception to the rule as I have been known to punch anyone who mentions weather to me in the face - but stop me in the street to tell me I smell amazing, and I may just go home with you).
Description of mortgages spot on . . . Germans rent because mortgages over there are even more crippling than ours.
More of this sort of stuff please - we need to laugh at ourselves more as so much other British crap is too serious for me right now.
