  • Hitler didn’t have a strong military in 1930’s either. It gave Hitler time to build.

    No they didn’t, people tend to think it was all tanks zipping all over the place, but a good proportion of their army was still horse driven. I was stationed in (British Army) barrack in Germany in the 1980’s. Barracks that had been built during the German build up prior to WW2. There was more space for horses than troops.


  • I found and old encyclopedia at a car boot sale from around that time. Looked up Germany and it mentioned that ‘Herr Hitler had done wonders for Germany’s economy but wasn’t very popular in some circles as they considered his views and policies were extreme.’

    Another fun fact - Nazis were very popular with a lot of the British Royal family and the ‘upper classes’. They were also supported by The Daily Mail newspaper, some things never change do they?







  • I know Teams doesn’t live on the intranet, but I’m not going to put work software on my own phone. Policy needs it to set up a work profile and I then can’t use fingerprint, face or a 4 digit pin. And all the shite that flows through Teams would be be piling up, just like it does on the PC at work, brilliant when you’re only in a couple of days a week. They want me to use a phone? Provide one.

    The WhatsApp group is for us to send updates about traffic, if someone can cover a shift etc. it’s not an official work thing. I could of course not use it and just text people. That’s really just making my life difficult whilst sat up here on my high horse with a self righteous look on my face, whilst I miss the chance of an extra shift.
