So what do you think as German efficiency takes over will they Nein Nein Nein to factory closure during summer? I guess if anything MC factory could part close in winter and not mid bike season?
Of course they'll close because the whole of Italy is closed. Not much point being open if you can't get any bits to make bikes out of or do anything else. Much like trying to work in the UK between Xmas and the New Year.
It's something to do with living in Southern Europe I think, most people who deal with this area are used to it and order well in advance. I think that the Germans will just have to accept it, that is just the way Italy works.
When was the last time Germans accepted something out of their own free will? Last time they were forced to accept something we ended up with WW2 in few years
But that means Italian holiday will end then as Germans are efficient machine that does not stop for any one/thing.
Well on holiday front uk is the worst so unlikely. I think every EU country has more holiday days then UK. French rule there.
