Nice one :-)
For Germany it's the same as for Belgium. You find very few screw-off caps
here. I remember only one and that living near Cologne where a great bunch
of brews is added to the list of locally available beers.
If you live in a (nearly) screw-off cap free country you get really
imaginative about how to open your bottles if you don't have a bottle opener
handy. I wonder if it's a special skill of europeans to use 'one-way'
lighters or is this just widespread instinct?
I never managed to open a film cartridge with a lighter though.
