	No Von today :-0 Am going to try me sultana cake later :-D :-D Am reading a book about a family from Vienna who owned a cinema, they were Jewish and a few of them fled to other countries….a son who came to the UK was later interned by the British Government….I was not aware of them being able to do that :-(

	Yes but there is a lack of UK goods since Brexit. Nowhere as great as UK - petrol here is cheaper for a start. Although electricity is going up we don't have central heating and only used 8 gas bottles for winter at about £12 for the 10 kg of gas.

	Google always comes to the rescue Ann :-D There was fear that anyone with a German accent could be a spy. Jewish refugees were put into internment camps with other German and Austrian people, including those who were Nazi sympathizers. :-0 :-( :-0

	Pat…I knew that, but was stunned to read that Jewish people escaping the conflict in their own countries were also included :-(

	If they come from the wrong country the authorities would have to be careful. OH's gt grandmother was German, she was married to a Dutch man and in WW1 she had an ID card stating she was Dutch by marriage. She had to take her ID card to the local police station every week.
