My maternal grandmother was from Vienna. Being Jewish, she had to flee before the Anschluss for the UK. I find it strange that if not for the Nazis, I would never exist. There's got to be a joke in there somewhere...

Family history aside, Austria is a lovely country - although I always end up quite a bit fatter after going there. Must be the fault of the (compared to south England) cheap beer, Schnitzel, Gulaschsuppe, Semmel, Würstl, Blunzngröstl...
