[Sussex] The Dutch

[BN41Albion]

Noticing loads of Dutch numberplates around Sussex this summer - far more than any other foreign car. Anyone any idea what's got the Dutch flocking to Sussex!?

Having worked in Holland, I found that they can’t buy salt and vinegar crisps there and had to take a box every time I went there, so I guess they’re over here stocking up.

Hills ?

Probably read some of the posts on here and decided to try and find what some of the posters are smoking as it sounds better than their stuff.

Just confirmed this with my Dutch mate who's lived here ages. He says he noticed an appreciable increase recently and counted 10 Dutch cars on a journey from Seaford to Eastbourne today.

Yes noticed it too.

I've seen a lot of NL number plates around the Peak District this year too.

Definitive word on The Dutch has to go to Mr John Dowie shirley?

I hate them more than dogs
They live in little windmills
And mince around in clogs'

Hills ?

They's always come up to the Lakes every summer for that (usually a bit earlier than this though). I was chatting to one couple the other week, who had scared themselves silly with the narrowness and windiness.

Fed up with them clogging up our roads.

From their point of view, Sussex looks a lot like Iowa, but cheaper.

I saw loads in South Wales the other week and have noticed a fair few over here in Berkshire (the nice bit, not the Reading and Slough bit) in the last couple of months, like a noticeable amount more than usual, to the point where even my hugely unobservant 8 year old has noticed. Weird.

I met a dutch family coming out the Amex store the other day. Buying a Dunk shirt they were.

You can buy them here. They sell Sea Salt and Vinegar Kettle "chips" in my local Albert Heijn supermarket. I am a regular customer of said items.

'Tis true they were a scarce item until 20 years ago or so...

Can-al, there’s loads of them

 

[Trufflehound]

I saw loads in South Wales the other week ...

That was probably me and Mrs T visiting the mother-in-law in Swansea...
