No problem until the IRA situation when we had to stop using British Registrations and start using German ones.
I agree. Being based over there and travelling throughout West Germany in the 80's - with a GB sticker, never had an issue with any locals.

Unfortunately you can find bigots in all places if you look hard enough. Anyway I enjoy the stickers on the rear of my cars, especially the BMW one as I can get through town quicker! https://youtu.be/XKH5Gd92k74
