You had better be quick before FEBO goes bust. There was a Horeca report,
yesterday, saying that Dutch snack bars are disappearing fast, because of slow
queues and poor quality food. I hope Jeremy sees this!

By that reckoning the whole country should have gone bust a long time
ago!

Taking the Bartlette to school yesterday, she said "Dad, why do we live
here?" I was unable to give a satisfactory answer.

LOL I bet she wasn't the first to ask the question.

Having said that both my kids would prefer to return to NL.

Philosphically, the life of an expat is to gripe about wherever they're
living. But they became an expat in the first place because they don't
like home, either :-( !!

My generation of expats didn't like the salaries, the politics, the strikes and
high taxation at home, not quite the same thing as not liking home.

Now the issues are the same only different - for example, the low taxes
leading to destruction of public services like NHS, transport etc, more
yobbish behaviour., and so on.

I was disappointed in the Ardennes and Belgium in general.
