My my, what a nice group of people we got here. Certainly you can do better than that ?!
I don't need politically correct compliments. We're not the UN here. Happy Times did it best and at least hinted at some (obvious) touchy subjects. Avon Lady has a point ofcourse on the silly wooden shoes, but imo only from a sunny country's (as is Israel) perspective. Clogs are in fact great for the muddy Dutch agricultural environment. It would be a shame to waste Italian shoes on that, eh ?
But anyway, I am eager to find out if there is so much as a
general international consensus on 'the Dutch and Holland'. We Dutch might be able to learn from that and improve our image (not just image, but by actual adjustments - right, tell that to a liberal devil may care Dutchman).
Furthermore, we could ofcourse later play this little game with the other countries represented here. Unless it's too direct considering one's culture, ofcourse
