Re: "the concept of saving face"
I'm from Germany and just checked on the map: What is the challenge to commute between Durham and Barnard Castle? The way is not straight, but looks pretty normal. Can you light me up?
They should test in Germany from "Löchgau" to "Gschwend, Ostalbkreis" which is pretty much village-hopping with a lot of "turn left" and "turn right", annoying to drive.
