We went to Baveria to see the Audi factory. Beer there is considered food so
each factory worker is restricted to only 3 litres a shift. Its available
from vending machines strategically located throughout the factory floor
with company bicycles (NOT that type) freely avaiable to aid with
collection...
Don't know what they use to open the stuff but judging by my car they
obviously have no trouble :-(

Nice one :-)
For Germany it's the same as for Belgium. You find very few screw-off caps
here. I remember only one and that living near Cologne where a great bunch
of brews is added to the list of locally available beers.
If you live in a (nearly) screw-off cap free country you get really
imaginative about how to open your bottles if you don't have a bottle opener
handy. I wonder if it's a special skill of europeans to use 'one-way'
lighters or is this just widespread instinct?
I never managed to open a film cartridge with a lighter though.
