About this listen

Angel, a long-term UK resident, reflects on cultural contrasts between Britain and Germany—the calmness on one hand, and the tendency to “sweep things under the carpet” on the other. She recounts two incidents: at a 50+ café, she raised concerns with management about a woman socially taking advantage of a vulnerable man; the woman later attacked her and was placed on police watch. In another case, at Café Nero, Angel confronted staff about poor hygiene, leading to an aggressive reaction from a barista working there. She speaks about the rise in hostility, a fraying system, and—at that stage—why she still looked to Copenhagen as a safer place to live.
