Deliver Us From Swedish Furniture

BAD MUNSTERIEFEL (I think that is how you spell it)

We stayed in Ashford´s twin town last night.  In a couple of respects it is similar.  OK, it was only the drunk kids hanging out and shouting while I was trying to sleep that reminded me of home.  After that it is really quite nice place and as different to Ashford as one could imagine. Only one complaint - and one that I will be taking up with what ever puffed up bureacrat that currently calls himself mayor - in Ashford we have a massive great trunk road named after our German twins.  We have their crest on every sign that welcomes you to Ashford and we even flutter the odd flag too.  In Bad Munstereifel, not a thing.  No road names, no crests and the only sign of being any link was the most threadbare and motheaten Union Jack that I have ever seen, limply raised alongside brand new German, local area and French flags (assuming that this twinning thing means that our German hosts are also linked to Fougres in France).
