Is there any remote chance that we can keep to the thread subject?All this Germany versus British stuff is absolutely fascinating but what in the name of all things sane has this got to do with the Ergomatic cab?
The thread wouldn’t have got past three pages if it had remained on topic, this is just like a conversation, it starts off in one place then shoots off at tangents, sometimes returning to the original topic, sometimes not. You said yourself that some of the stuff discussed is absolutely fascinating and I completely agree, I also think we wouldn’t have ever covered it if we’d stuck religiously to the Ergonomic Cab topic 
This thread has had a lot of views and now stretches into 30odd pages, there’s a lot of useful stuff within the posts, sure some people will find it doesn’t conform to their idea of how a thread should run, but they’re not being forced to read or participate in this one, can’t see the harm in it myself
