EM Posted September 21, 2010 Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 ... up here ...Interesting. Is it typical to refer to your region as being "up"? I presume this is because you are in the Bavarian Alps. I usually tend to think of "up" and "down" in terms of latitude, but altitude is certainly more logical. Mind you, I'm sitting at sea-level and couldn't see myself thinking "down here." As I said, interesting to ponder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzel Posted September 21, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 21, 2010 it's used both ways in Germany but you are right it might be unusual in your language the way I used it Probably a remainder of old school English "hier bei uns" (word-for-word translated but not proper English "here at us") is usually translated "up here" and never "down here". As long as you can understand (somehow...) the dumb Kraut who's actually really quite close to the Alps and about 700m above sea-level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rubber Ducky Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The sale of raw or unpasteurised milk has been banned in Scotland since 1983. I believe that is not the case in England. Perhaps thats where your confusion lies. An interesting read too.. http://www.bigbarn.co.uk/blog/2010/05/12/raw-milk-dangerous-or-medicinal/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patzel Posted September 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 that is indeed interesting!And it underlines my personal experiences. When we lived in Stornoway (that was after 1983) luckily not all the farmers knew this (or perhaps didn't care), so one could still buy it. It was actually in Scotland when I discovered the taste and the advantages of raw milk. After returning back to Germany I kept on drinking raw milk. I used to have in fact problems with neurodermitis and allergies before, but that disappeared completely many years ago. Could well be that one of the reasons is the milk... Pasteurised milk is allright to put in a cup of coffee but for drinking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted September 23, 2010 Report Share Posted September 23, 2010 The farm could give it to you for no favour. Here is hoping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
