Hi folks,
I must say I did a grin to myself when I saw Olaf write that despite the
reputation of Frieslanders for being stubborn, that wasn't his experience.
Well, I happen to be married to a Netherlander from Hilversum. Sort of in the
middle. Without putting myself in too much hot water, I could observe that an
inability to change a mindset even when commonsense could indicate some
flexibility was warranted, might be something of a national characteristic
regardless of region? <g>
Enough said !!
But that same determination and stickability has been necessary for the
nation. I have put a little story up on the web, if you are interested.
