Jan,

Brian is absolutely right in describing the LUG as a saloon - or a pub, 
same thing, different country - whichever you are in you'll pick up a 
snippet here and there on any subject you can imagine.

If there are guests who hang out there a lot, you can be sure they'll be 
repeating something they heard a couple of days ago to guests who 
weren't there at the time.

The LUG is, I suspect, a German acronym of "Lesen Und Geniessen", 
meaning Read and Enjoy.

I read everything - although I'm working flat out all day on the same 
box this pile of mails arrives on - just to make sure I don't miss out 
on great pictures and anything interesting, informative, funny, 
controversial or perhaps even to do with Leica in its many guises.

Cheers - have a good walk around the lake (A dangerous thing to write. 
It could start a thread on anoraks, woolly hats,  boots, skis, weather 
and, and, and........... :-)
