That is still the ‘norm’ in Germany apparently.
When I went to Germany on a job in 2000, we stayed at a local B&B.
The maid was also a bartender/hostess of a restaurant we ate at downstairs. We talked a lot and she told me that she was amazed that Americans were so clean. She knew we took showers every night because she would collect the towels for the laundry every morning while we were at work on the nearby military base.
She said her husband only took a bath once a week on Saturday night..................
That’ll be me after Brandon shuts off my natural gas (or prices it so high I can’t afford to turn it on).
