  1. > his welcome gift from the German embassy in London, a pin badge showing the British and German flags, which he received together with some gummy bears.

    All I got was a copy of the German Basic Law and the Bavarian Constitution.

    One small correction: since he has claimed citizenship under jus sanguinis laws, he hasn’t just become a German citizenship; he was always a German citizen, but has only just had that fact officially recognized.

  2. >Recently Lucas sparked backlash when he used a German accent throughout a GBBO episode, but he seemed to reject accusations that it was offensive. 

    Anybody heard about this? I missed it completely and I honestly can’t say I ever met a german that thought a german accent was offensive. Annoying? Maybe. But offensive? No way.
