Me too, every second week-end we go over, fill up the car, bit of shopping, some scoff, nip in on friends say hello & grab a brew.
No didn't realize that. And yes, very respectful & thankful to us Brits too for our part in their liberation, decent people the Dutch.
Even visited one of their "Coffee shops" with a friend (out of curiosity on my part) came out feeling somewhat peculiar, just from breathing in the atmosphere, most definitely not for me thank you.
