Assos are Swiss right? Do I go to them for lederhosen bibshorts? Can you buy carbon fibre beer steins? Do rapha do moustache wax?

Lovely city, Munich.
EDIT: how about bidons filled with Franziskaner and a couple of wuersts (how do I do umlauts?) in place of energy bars?Ben

It's funny you should say because my girlfriend has a MSWord document, which her mum sent her, which has all the German ones in ready for CnPing!Ben

Ha! Sorry scweiz - of course I know Munich is not in Switzerland :-) (I work for a Zurich company) I was just being flippant about sourcing lederhosen bibshorts and Assos came to mind. Should perhaps have said Cube or something :-)FCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

No need to copy and paste, just use the Alt key (may be different on a PC). Alt+U, then vowel of choice gives an umlaut-ed vowel. Alt+E, then E gives é, and so on. Alt+O = ø; Alt+A = å for the Scandinavians. Alt+S = ß; Alt+Q = œ or Œ; Alt+C = ç...1985 Mercian King of Mercia - work in progress (Hah! Who am I kidding?)

Nope, doesn't work on a PC like that RJS. I usually have to use 'insert character', my surname contains an a with an umlaut äFCN 5 belt driven fixie for city bits

you use Alt+ a combination of the numpad keys. If you look at the 'insert character' shortcuts, they are all there. A nightmare to remember0

And so you should be sorry! It winds me up when people say "you've lived there so long that you'll be wearing lederhosen next!" which is not true, I wear an Edelweisshemd on work days and Sonntagstracht on a Sunday!

Hold down ALT then type the three digit ASCII code (http://www.asciitable.com/) of your chosen character release the ALT key.
For example
ALT 225 = ß
or
ALT 137 = ë
or
ALT 142 = Ä
Easy when you know how and it won't take you long to remember the various codes.....--

If you're in Word just use insert symbol and you get a huge menu of funny characters which you can copy and paste across...Do not write below this line. Office use only.0
