@Adam_Creme I worked in a bar once and did the health and safety for them, and therefore had to take note of the conditions and requirements of the ‘Shops and Factories’ act. It said stopping wages to pay for theft by customers, breakages, wear and tear, accidents was basically illegal.

@diemauerthewall This Berlin blog from 1973 is great material. To my mind what photography is for, to record history first hand.

@wilfredlegebeke I lived in the Netherlands during the 1990s. I can still read Dutch fairly well, but I cannot speak it very much nowadays.
