In my first year at work in the Netherlands I did notice there was not much that would make my colleagues down tools. If they were ill, they brought their bugs in to work. If their kids were ill, they asked Oma to come and take care of them. Then after a couple of mild winters, at last there was a really good 'big freeze'.

A pity for the toast, I thought, since those dolphins were already dead anyway, and they would have died in vain if we could not even enjoy that delicious tuna toast.

It is often the first thing I read. It is like one of those distorting mirrors with an international slant built in. It is only when you can look at yourself through the eyes of a foreigner that you realize what a strange lot we Dutch are. Typical Dutch is a great column. It is often the first thing I read.
