Any idiot can deal with a crisis. It takes a genius to cope with everyday life.

A new twist on an old story.
A friend in France has just had their phone number changed so when I call the new number using the normal French 0033 prefix I get a recorded message that the number is not in use - in GERMAN!.
Apparently this happens only with (all) English callers - not other Europeans. I can only imagine the problems of people who don't understand German!
Is this racist or merely Brusselsist?
