"Do you know what hell and paradise are like? They are described well in
one and perhaps the only international anecdote: hell is British
cuisine, French equipment, German bureaucracy, an American lover and the
Italian police, while paradise is French cuisine, German equipment, the
British bureaucracy, the American police, and an Italian lover."
LOL :D I don't know if it's true but sounds logical.

I'm reasonably sure bureaucracy is hell in any nation. :-P

Why this is hell, nor am I out of it.

I suspect this joke was written long enough ago that we had respectable
police here. I would have thought british police had a better reputation
than american police.

Mmmm what you don't like a nice greasy bit of fish and chips wrapped up in
newspaper with a load of salt and vinegar?
> German bureaucracy
Hehe just last weekend I was at a Christmas market here, a small wooden hut
selling Gluehwein (mulled wine), I had to take back my mug to get the 1 euro
deposit back so walked up to give it back to the guy. He tells me no, I
have to go round the side of the hut to the counter for returns. So I walk
round there (having to navigate my way around tables and other people) and
he then takes my mug off me through the counter and gives me the 1 euro
back.
> Italian police,
Oh I hear Italian police were pretty cool (certainly in the past), like not
caring if you are breaking the speed limit, and even sometimes actively
encouraging people to go faster.
> while paradise is French cuisine,
Huh? Give me Italian or Indian cuisine please :-)
> and an Italian lover
Never had one, but I can imagine...
