B&J in Franken: Report 4 |

| Why 'Speckguertel'? Was pork production a major part of the economy? Anyway, very interesting to compare with my home area. My village has a population of only 250 but has 3 pubs but no breweries except Brewery Taylor! I estimate that there are at least 20 pubs within a 10 kk radius and a population of less than that of Bischberg. The low population (and falling) affects every aspect of the economy. Within this radius, we also have 3 golf courses (10 altogether in Co Clare serving a population of around 100,000) and my local club is really struggling with a tiny memmbership (anyone want to join or buy?). On the other hand, the great philanthropist Donald Trump (only slight irony) has just bought another local course for €15m., with great promises of jobs and prosperity for the area. Anyway, now going OT, so will stop! |
