I've been trying to reach someone in Germany through e-mail and phone without luck. I think it's because of the Summer holidays. Just remembered Spanish and French go back to normal life until September. But I thought this was for small businesses.
Guess not

Children in England go back next Monday. Scotland was two or three weeks ago. I imagine Germany will be the first half of September if it's anything like the French.

I'll try again on Monday then. This is a research institute though. I thought it could be the office hours too (it doesn't say anything on their site), I called between 2-3 pm. But it's weird that they haven't replied my e-mail either.

Most of the time. Although this Summer has been lovely. And blue skies today.

I have a question for Europeans also: What's the deal with the maypole? Do you only dance around it in the month of May, or is the name of the pole unrelated to the month? Do families or individuals tend to own and provide their own maypoles or is it a communal sort of thing? How do people know when it's time to switch direction from clockwise to counter-clockwise (or do you say "anti-clockwise" in Europe?)? Do you tend to wear regular clothing or a costume when dancing around the maypole?
I'm sure I'll think of more questions later.

It's usually the dance done just before a mass orgy.

Well we are, we just won't be part of the union in a year or two.
