Thank you!
It's not those.
(And, to reference a different thread, I should point out that those in this case is NOT what a Yorkshireman uses to water the garden).
Completely off topic, but when we lived in The Hague I was intrigued to note that Dutch uses a neuter definite article "het", which when spoken quickly reduces to something approaching "t". I think there is some cross-N Sea influence, e.g. Yorkshire place names ending in "-wick", vs. -wijk" in Dutch, the notorious bluntness, and tightness with money, of both, and so on.If it was you'd have written it "t'hose"

Yes, that is correct.
The neuter definite article "het" and its reduced version "t'" are both used in spoken Dutch and its Flemish variant.
However, the reduced version is rarely used in writing.
Er...
Despite the Roman dress that's King Billy (and the pub directly behind it also known as the King Billy).
William of Orange.
For those that don't know the photo was taken in Hull.
There's a lot of Dutch influence in Yorkshire - starting at Hull (first port of call), including, as I learned on my course, a great number of architectural features on buildings.
How did they get the horse to stand still while painting it?Er...

It's HULL!
The horse was probably too scared to move anyway.
Don't golden unicorns have an over-ingrained predisposition to favor the flight response? It would've ran away, but it appears they may have sawed its horns off with a spork.
How about the bluntness and tightness with money?
I have no idea,
I live in the country below the Netherlands.
and a lovely one at that!!How about the bluntness and tightness with money?

You're one of the Mole People?
I did once see a Belgian supermodel with a large mole.You're one of the Mole People?

No, I am one of those people who encounter difficulties when expressing something in a foreign language.
I did not know if I had to use "beneath", "below" or "under" when referring to the position of a nation on a map.
They are all fine. And they are all equally ambiguous.

Don't worry, I knew exactly what you meant (and "below" is used in general English anyway).
I just saw an opportunity to be facetious.
Whattiza these???
Sorry... could not resist.
They all work!! *S*....no worries!You're one of the Mole People?

Neither could I.Whattiza these???

Yes, that sounds reasonable. But I still feel there is a sort of kinship across the N Sea. Edinburgh, pronounced Edinbrer compares with Dutch Logtenberg, pronounced Lochtenberech and so on.
Anyway, it's nice to find we're all brothers, in spite of the apparent differences.
Re Cogito Ergo Sum's comments, the big difference between the Netherlands and Belgium is that the Belgians know how to eat, while the Dutch have no idea at all.
I have been to Belgium three times, but never to the Netherlands, though my daughter goes often as she lives and works, currently, in Zurich. Belgian foot is GOOO STUFF!Yes, that sounds reasonable.
