I’m not saying I’m considering a trip to Germany just so I can visit a hardware store, but I’m definitely going to visit one (or several) hardware stores if I ever find myself in Germany again.
In reply to JG Pasterjak :
I’m intrigued by the work shorts. How do the sizes run on them? Is the cm to inches conversion accurate to your actual waist size?
Now I’m kicking 16 year old me for not visiting hardware stores when I was in Germany.
Edit: Actually, I still went to the BMW Museum in Munich, so I guess 16 year old me gets a pass.
Canadian here, so metric tapes are not that exciting. But the shorts. Hmm….
Actual safety sandals… I need a set.
I used to love going into the German and Norwegian PXs when I was working out of a NATO base instead of a US FOB. You could buy the most random stuff there.
Another thing to add to the list of things I’d like to see in Germany.
I know Europeans tend to look down us filthy Americans for not knowing multiple languages and such, is it fairly easy to get around Germany without being able to read/writer/understand the language?
How do these work shorts compare to the long Dickes I’m currently wearing? (Because I am a fan of these….)
For some reason I had expectations of lumber, neatly stacked, sorted by grain direction and separate piles for quarter sawn and rift sawn.
Those little fence posts are surprisingly disorganised too.
These shorts from Sweden have more pockets and straps than anyone would need ,
Nice and heavy duty fabric too,
I like these folding wooden metric rulers, common in Europe and you can find them on Amazon
