    Is that one or two phrases?

    Thanks, Victor. My request didn't come out very clearly - in fact I was looking for three separate phrases: "You're fired!" "Please leave" (or "Please leave our building") and "baked beans". I'm not sure I trust Google's translator so if any natives can translate I'd be very appreciative. Danke sehr, Claw.

    "You're fired!" - Sie sind entlassen!
    "Please leave" - Gehen Sie bitte!
    "Please leave our building" - Bitte verlassen Sie das Haus/Gebäude
    "baked beans" - Gebackene Bohnen (though they do say baked beans in German, too)

    Edit: I'm deadly curious how the baked beans fit in this scenario... :D

    That sounds like somebody got the sack, because he was kind of farting in the job :eek:

    Thanks Carry! Have been writing an essay about a summer working in Germany, and then getting fired in Germany, after which I was broke and found myself eating a lot of baked beans. Finding a can of beans in Germany without wurst or some other pork product in it was in itself a full-time job. :D

    Thanks again for your help!

    Oh so true! :rolleyes:

    In times of being broke back in Germany we've had cans of Ravioli in Tomato Sauce ... (shudder) :eek: Kind of the equivalent of baked beans in Ireland, only less tasty.

    Good luck with your essay!

    I could find a lot of familiar foods (even brands) in a big supermarket called Kaufland when I lived in Erlangen.

    'Kaufland' are quite good indeed, but they are not everywhere in Germany, most likely in the south of the country.

    A decade ago, there were loads of Marks and Spencer outlets, too...but for some reason, they went bust after a year or so :confused:
