I'm Dutch but I could be 1/4 English cause my mum was born in Hong Kong when it still was English. I think my uncle has complete English nationality as well since he served in the British army but I don't know when you can.

Technically I think that'd make you British, not English.

I'm one other dutchy, I'm from the province Zeeland(or Sealand), the old and forgotten father of New Sealand! Luckily, I've abandoned that evil place to study in Utrecht. It's the best town in the world [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Don't worry I live in Lancashire, we've plenty of stereo types. I Actually live quite close to liverpool (GOD NO! I dont have a scouse accent, so dont ask, that'd be hell [img]tongue.gif[/img] ), and liverpool is the biggest stereotype area in all england.

[/QUOTE]I guess, but working at the Heineken breweries for 9 years also played a part in it. You could buy a bottle of beer for 25 cent in the lunchroom, and there was no limit of how much you could drink. For the price of one Joetje you could drink yourself silly there. The days that i left for work at 5:30 in the morning and came home pissdrunk at 11 in the evening are countless. [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

[/QUOTE]Aw, darn it. I've always wanted to speak to a scouser. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmm... Lancashire... don't you have those funny policemen with those accents that make them sound like they're on a crumpet advert, along with leg-bending action? [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Oh, and one thing has been bugging me - how do you pronounce your username? [img]graemlins/blush.gif[/img]
Is the "Beau" bit as in "Beautiful", or pronounced as "Bow?" And "manoir" - 'man-wah' or 'man-or?'

Heh.. I get the feeling us Dutchies will soon outnumber all other nationalities here on Ironworks. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Although when that happens, I'm sure half of our acounts will mysteriously vanish. Did you guys know that when the EU constitution is ratified, we also become Citizens of the European Union. (I'll leave the cynical comments here to Johnny) [img]tongue.gif[/img]
