There's a certain similarity to the Levasseur of a couple pages ago, but I don't think it's a Lev this one.

(minimum) eight miles from home
eeeeh... quite a bit farther than that in this case

A South African is enjoying a hearty breakfast -
coffee, croissants, toast, butter & jam, etc. when
an American, chewing gum, sits next to him and
starts an unwanted conversation:

American: "You South Africans eat the whole bread?"
South African:

"Of course."

American (blowing bubble with his gum): "We don't. In
the States, we only eat what's inside. The crusts we
collect in a container, recycle, rebake them into
croissants and sell them to South Africa."

American: "D'ya eat jam with the bread?"

South African: "Of course."

American (chuckling and crackling his gum between his
teeth): "We don't. In the States we eat fresh fruit
for breakfast, put all the peels, seeds and left overs
into containers, recycle them into jam and sell it to
South Africa."

South African: "Do you have sex in America?"

American: "Of course we do."

South African: "And what do you do with the condoms?"

American: "Throw them away of course."

South African: "We don't. We put them in a
container, recycle them, melt them down into chewing
gum and sell it to America."

but I don't think it's a Lev this one.
Correct!

Does the manufacturer name start with either a "B" or a "P"?

I know. Lived there for a while. I mean in the leftovers. More exactly, in an ex-Stasi apartment house. Better built than the others. Had been renovated, though. But had original elevators from the West…..

It seems that Memsab LM and I will have to come to Berlin sometime.

Question!

Use 155 mph Merc or fly and hire a kleine auto?

I would hire one locally. Not that expensive and at least they have steering on the correct side.

By the way, berlin has the best public transport in the whole world. Didn't have an auto for some years in the beginning, and don't have one now. You get everywhere quicker and smoother in Underground (U-bahn), buses, trams or light railroad (S-bahn).

Thanks for all the welcomes lads.

Sure looks like a Waco now that I've refreshed my memory on the Antonov an 2.

Must look more.
