Wankum is not far from the municipality called Titz. At one time, probably the most used petrol station in Germany was in Wankum. British troops serving in BAOR.

Been there a few times. Last fill up using our petrol coupons.

ok..im gonna have a punt at this...in greek mythology...Kronos, the titan, was forewarned that one of his offspring would eventually kill him. His Mrs.. 'Rhea'...also his sister, handed over babies, I think there were 6 over and Kronos ate them..all apart from little Zeus who she hid away....and who eventually killed Kronos with a scythe.

Kronos, bacame a figure with a scythe and represented Father Time. Chronology ets....so..im thinking Swiss clockmakers...time?

They have completely taken over the Aire valley. They arrived about 15/20 years ago and now you cant move for them. They have become naturalised, spending their entire year here.
