I’ll tell you something that happened to us yesterday..this 100% true BTW. Our flat that we rent comes with a reserved underground parking space, as we don’t own a car we let a friend use that spot to park his vintage Mercedes car. As it is a vintage car he keeps it covered under a protective car cover. Yesterday we received a phone call from the housekeeper to inform us that the cover does not comply to the required fire safety regulations and so it needs to be replaced. The car has been parked in the same place with the same cover on for a few months, so I was wondering if that is efficient in recognising the cover to be outside the regulations or inefficient in that it has taken several months before being noticed it and been brought to our attention.
Incidentally we did not know of the regulations or that the cover did not comply but what did the owner of the Mercedes say when we told him?
“Fair enough, I buy a new one”
The Germans definitely have a different mentality.
