strawb 4429 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 My grandad went working in Germany after the wall came down, when I was about 9 he had a piece of something in their display cabinet. Told me it was part of the Berlin Wall. Not sure if he was taking the piss, he had been had by a German or if it was true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're still selling pieces of it on the Berlin tourist trap trail now, and while they might be fake too, there was nearly 100 miles of it so it's probably legit - it just might be from a boring suburb rather than one of the exciting Checkpoint Charlie bits 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renton 22065 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 Yeah, Mrs Rents chisseled a bit of the Berlin wall herself when she was inter-railing. We've since lost it but it was just a chunk of graffittied concrete. This is my favourite use for the Berlin wall, as a homeopathic cure: "drinking a solution made with the crushed concrete of the Berlin wall can cure physical symptoms including asthma, headaches and insomnia resulting from depression, grief or oppression among other things". https://withberlinlove.com/2016/07/01/berlin-wall-homeopathic-remedy-murus-berlinensis/ This quackery actually got royal approval from none other than our glorious king sausage fingers himself. so is obviously a bargain! https://www.thetimes.com/uk/royal-family/article/homeopathy-remedy-using-berlin-wall-has-royal-approval-ffngh5wm3 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
