They eat well, they drink very well and they have beautiful museums, cathedrals, landscapes. All sorts of things to make you forget about their most famous son.
they have a bad habit of taking their phenomenal cultural heritage of fine music and turning it into mass schmaltzy cake fairy bollox with waltzing twots listening to overdressed half-able musicians in large venues where everyone gets carried away with the atmosphere and drinks luke warm off dry wine
THey also spend a considerable amount of time building soundproof basement dungeons for hiding stolen children.
heh. Cannot believe you decided that I was making a serious point there. But anyway, just to be clear, I was not asked in the OP what do Austrians do that British don't do, was I? I was asked what they do.
I saw a documentary once where this nun, who wasn't a very good nun became a nanny in an Austrian house and taught them all to sing and thus defeated the nazis
Of course, if you want to get a sense of how it feels to live at the end of an epoch expiring in the face of modernity, which is surely a millennial digital native thing of fundamental interest to rof, then you should be studying the end of the Austro-Hungarian empire. K und K, ja?
The opera is fun. I stayed at the Ritz Carlton there once. Loads of food stuff. The big Durer bunny. All the more classical art stuff. The freud stuff. Probably had a beer. Then got the train to Budapest.

It always blows my mind that Otto von Habsburg, the last Crown Prince of Austria-Hungary, was still an MEP in the late '90s.

As long as an Austrian can have his brown ale and his little brown sausages he is unlikely to revolt.
