Slight divergence from the theme, but it isn't only British Engineers that make C--k -ups. Have you heard , there in the UK, of the debacle of Berlins new airport? 3 years overdue, twice the estimated cost, so many errors in the Safety Systems it would be cheaper to pull down and rebuild that try to repair the mistakes.The Baggage handling system too small and slow. For example, an Airbus 380, 70% full, would require 40 minutes to unload and distribute the passengers luggage, assuming one case per passenger. All other passengers would have to wait until these were dealt with. Another example of German effiecency, the new Station for Stuttgart, was named "Stutgart 21" now 25, as that is how much longer it will take, the cost, again is 300% more, estimated. The Funding has been stopped, so it may now never happen. The List of Costly mistakes is long, but as the Myth of German excellence is strong, they don't get any publicity. Have you heard that Mercedes is transferring the Production of the B Class to Hungary? reason, EU help with the Factory build, also in Germany a Line Worker gets about 33 € an hour, in Hungary 7€.Made in Germany, ( or anywhere that is cheap!) Say no more.
