    Just amazing. We can’t keep water out of a basement in a building on top of a hill….The Dutch modern civil engineering and their old tried and tested dyke systems are amazing.

    Yes, I've been there and went on the boat trip. An amazing piece of engineering, and great fun to experience.

    I never mentioned the B word, after being castigated by yourself for doing so. (But, if he did, he would, of course, deserve to be keelhauled.)
