A German provider would certainly have an ARD time trying to achieve such success!
During the early 1990s AMS had a considerable penetration of the British market with imported Well-Pict berries.
It was in iron and steel products that German penetration of the British market raised most concern.

: There were more quesitons but they have been withdrawn. This is the only one left where I commented on. // That's correct. But you should not pose questions with half the sentence in one question, the second half in a second question, i.e. long sentences.

Have I misunderstood KudoZ rule 32?: "By spreading your questions over the last two days of a project, for example, you can ask thirty (30)."// Thank you for the clarification.
