Berliner = Donut usually it's got Jam in it ! So JFK blithely stated to the German public he was a Donut !

Mancie, Mancie, Mancie, You my friend are once more maintaining the standards I've come to expect from you ! Don't fret none, when I come to power I've got a special job lined up just for you !

Thanks Dave - knew it was something to eat I used to settle for Bockwurst at the Spandau U-Bahn en route to a night out in Charlottenburg, maybe that is why sausage stuck in my mind - apologies Eric

I was thinking more along the lines of every Kingdom needs a Jester ! Right up Mancies street I would've thought ? Well he makes me chuckle !

And Barrie I've had Bockies & Bratties, but when in Berlin tended to go for a Kebab as it was one door down from "Joe's Irish Bar".

The only Irish Bar I remember was just off the Kurferstendamn, near the Bleukerk. Poppies Bar was a favourite but that was a lifetime ago.

Don't worry about apologizing ... anyone with a sausage stuck in his brain has enough problems Only thing I can think of that is worse is a black pudding up the nose.

Think it's probably seen as bringing the profession into disrepute/behaviour unbecoming in view of his position. Reassigned elsewhere would've made more sense.

If the same logic were to be applied elsewhere & with such severity, there'd be a few more people rightfully out of a job, this really has the taste of cynicism/political manoeuvring/double standards about it as opposed to acting in a balanced & lawfully way.

It appears somebodies pet lapdog is reacting to their masters call !
