Thanks William - look forward to some sensible chat - providing it's not too technical - can't cope with it nowadays - just got used sending text messages on my phone. LOL
Cheers,

Ian

Hi Teri - Thanks for the welcome - wonder where abouts in Germany you are located. I have a very good friend who lives in Leverkusen - I've been in contact with him since around 1945. He's retired now but spent all of his working life with Bayer. This seems like a good forum - due to my varied interests with radio controlled stuff, metal detecting and also country and western, I'm a member of nineteen forums, however the other ones tend to just chat about that particular forum (hobby) interest. - this one seems to be more general but there again I suppose we are all of a similar age group (give or take 2o years or so LOL)
Nice to meet you all.

Cheers,

Ian

I'm living in Southern Germany near Stuttgart - many years ago when I was still young I visited with my collegues the Fair in Cologne and we slept in a hotel in Leverkusen. Must say the air there is not really healthy with Bayer in the neighbourhood. I was happy when I was home again - the air in our region is much better. But perhaps one gets accustomed to it.

Hi Teri, No!! I did not forget the Industry!! There is so little of it left. -- Around here, we used to have Lots of Brickyards,Factories and Sugarbeet in the season ??
Now, one would have to go a distance to see 'Smoking Chimneys' -- All we seem to have is Cars, Cars and yet more cars -- That is about It!! -Gotta Keep It Clean??

How lucky you are, Phoenix, no industry around you that pollutes the air, only tourists that enjoy the fresh air. It's true in our region there's also a so-called "dying of industry", but times changed with the arrival of the computer and we have to look for new ideas.
