For Pete, or any of you other tool tarts

[Bobster]

Had a wera rep come round today.

The company has kitted the new 'Azubi' (trainees) with a toolkit from Wera. (Very nice set I might add)

Whilst having a nosy myself I spotted these:

Wera Produktfinder - http://products.wera.de/de/vde_werkzeuge_zyklop_vde_knarre_und_zubehoer_stueckgepruefte_sicherheit_8100_sb_vde_1.html

Asked if they were the freebie, Germans don't get our humour but they did let me have a good look at them. Really nice compact little kit.

It wasn't until I Googled the price later, an nearly fell off my chair. So, if anybody's other half falls out with them, it's not my fault.

Smart bit of kit that, how much is it Rob?

I don’t know what it is but I fancy a WinkelSchlussel!

Plenty Winkles on the Clyde shore.

Winkel is angle and schlüssel is either a spanner or wrench.

Lovely piece of kit I admit, but doesn't EAWR 89 tell us not to work live

Yeah, but just look how nice it is, looks the biz doesn't it? imagine whipping that lot out on site, other Sparkys would stare at it in awe, and see what a God you are, but then again I still have a set, not those an Orange think they are ITL, I borrowed them from work and forgot to hand them in, silly me.

I moved here a few months ago, I could already speak German so it wasn't much of a hardship. An the beer and food are excellent.

I've just got a few more months here before up heaving and moving across the pond.

Nice, my son got a 1st from Exeter in German and Business so at least he is using his degree, starts with a new company soon so has a weeks training in LA to do.

If he works hard, he will do well here. They are very rewarding to good employees. The work ethic in my opinion is far superior in younger people here than in England.

The amount of deductions from your wages here sucks though, rough with the smooth an all that.

He left his last job and took a payout as he is starting at a Freight Company, first office in Germany, get in at the start so maybe you can move up within the company pretty fast, they are a US company dealing with Logistics and seem to have a fair decent amount of capital behind them.

He has been in Germany for about 4 years now, the funniest thing is when they as him where in Germany he was born he tells them London and they are shocked that he is not a native German, handy also being able to speak 3 languages.
