Your tales of diggers from the employment exchange (Germany I presume)
brings back happy memories of digging in the late 1970s with the dregs
of the local labour exchange on unemployment programs  in Britain. Not
bad lads really but I thought I had  a good day if no injured
themselves, eachother or me. After a year with no conversation other
than football, sex and booze I decided I would go back to university -
bad mistake. Actually I read  a lot of Victorian novels that year alone
in my freezing caravan.
