Hi Chuck,
don't remind me of the fact that whenever I attempted to learn the language,
my limey accent always elicited a reply in my own, spoken so much better
than I am able to muster! s- Gravenhage (right on the seafront) was in fact
where I worked and lived for a most enjoyable 18 months. Lovely
city-infinately preferable to Amsterdam in my book. Had there been more work
available I'd have happily settled in the most benign Police State in
Christendom! As to your formative years staying with you, I'm convinced -
certainly in my case - that that applies to most Moggers!
