Currently Im in Netherlands and well... it's true and it hasn't changed since long time (got first heiny in here 10 years ago) - Heineken is piss. If it's about weather it's the same - i dare to say that the saying "english weather" ought to be converted to something like "duch weather" - spent some time in both countries and believe me or not, holland sucks so much more if it's about dark cloudy and rainy days, especially if you're by the sea! ;D
ecchi: u forgot about windy season which pretty much goes on throught whole of the year in uk
need to visit it to open up ltd in there in coming months, i'm curious how it's legal adult biz things over there... might happen that you know something about that?
