The classic example is 'food safety and hygiene'

The French argued long and hard that their traditional cheeses made of
unpasteurised milk and loaded with bacteria of all sorts were in fact
their own bloody business, provided they didn't export them.

And indeed when washed down with a bottle of 'entre deux legs' the
bacteria didnt stand a chance anyway.

I note with wry hunmour that te country that killed peole with organic
beansprouts was in fact Germany.

That the country that cheated on its diesel emissions regulations was
in
fact Germany.

The country didn't cheat - a manufacturer in that country cheated.
Vast
difference.

You dont knwo how Germans feel about their companies do you?

Germans are taught to be proud to be German and consider that they and
their industries are all in it together.

whereas this doesn't happen in the UK?

No.

It does in some operations like the RollsRoyce aircraft
engine operation and even in the Nissan car plant.
