Yeah, I did see some of that, particularly the Orroral tracking station
where the gardener was a german, quite a lot of the staff were poms,
and he got 'herman the german' quite a bit of the time. Took it very
well, just ignored it basically.

Another mate of mine was a german engineer who had migrated
here after the war. Never saw him or his wife get any crap at all
and he wasn't built like a brick shit house or anything.
