To this day I still roast and boil my own peanuts. And when I had my greengrocery-healthfood shop in Noosa, because of Choys, I used to also boil and roast peanuts for sale to the hungry hordes!Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-80399471441932226912016-10-05T21:12:43.096+01:002016-10-05T21:12:43.096+01:00That's okay.That's okay.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-84750463699850948882016-10-05T20:37:03.125+01:002016-10-05T20:37:03.125+01:00My words were a bit clumsy.My words were a bit clumsy.libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05552884005601003691noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-70430984189003843762016-10-05T13:03:04.752+01:002016-10-05T13:03:04.752+01:00Even King Canute could not turn the tide back.Even King Canute could not turn the tide back.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-89129152633542388442016-10-05T13:01:14.996+01:002016-10-05T13:01:14.996+01:00With your South Pacific heritage you have also con...With your South Pacific heritage you have also contributed to the multicultural mosaic that is your home area.Yorkshire Puddinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06019673884543913089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-2424890382653111712016-10-05T12:06:29.504+01:002016-10-05T12:06:29.504+01:00Great exibition.

The majority of these foreigners (it was perfectly OK back then to call them that, as they were not German citizens and did indeed come from foreign countries) were from Turkey, followed closely by Italy, Spain and Greece. <br />In my class at elementary school, nearly one half of the children were not speaking German at home. Their dress was sometimes different from what I and the other German kids wore, sometimes they smelled different due to their mothers cooking very different dishes from what we ate at home, and the very new ones struggled with our language for a few months. Most of the time, as a class we had no trouble with each other. If there was trouble, it was the normal trouble kids have with other kids - not because some were Turkish and some weren't. Political correctness did not even yet exist as a term, and we just played more with those kids we liked and less with those we didn't.<br />Some of them have stayed in town, others have moved away - just like the German kids did when growing up.<br />But it wasn't all utter bliss. I noticed the absence of foreign children when I started "big school" - most of them didn't make it to the school I went to after the first four years. That hurdle has now become less of an obstacle, but it is still there, and a larger number of children with what today is called immigration background still don't make it to university, compared to kids with an all-German background. Well, I never made it to uni, so sometimes it may be just down to the kid not being bothered (like it was in my case), and one can indeed live a happy and good life without having been to uni.<br /><br />The exhibition sounds interesting and I like it that you know a few of the people who participated.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13883584.post-61398042044769032422016-10-04T16:54:23.730+01:002016-10-04T16:54:23.730+01:00I do love the way you are always out and about see...I do love the way you are always out and about seeing and doing YP..never a bored moment.
