Thanks Keith Yes, I think my dealer's initial allocation was just three units. As for the watch gift, I hadn't spent a penny in Fred's shop and am unlikely to in the future. I asked Ed how he got it and he said he just asked! Apparently it's a "Dutchy thing", if you don't ask, you don't get. Sorry Ed and Anders, I didn't

What a good photo this is. Anyone would think I'm a 'proper' photographer, wouldn't they Mr Ander(son)?

This windmill is actually a restaurant now. It was built in 1858 but there has been a mill on this site since the thirteenth century!

Just as we neared Ed's house, we took a slight detour where we stopped and took the next three photo's. Absolutely beautiful! This is the real Holland.

Well, we set of back to Ed's home and on the way called into a petrol station for fuel. Ed bought me my first pair of Dutch clogs there. The ones on the left.

2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2x2=16,384

What have you been doing with it Richard? Andy T.

Nice quiz Peter. That Francoisvl is on the ball, isn't he? Just to clarify (for a thickhead), when you say all numbers multiplied, does that mean that, for example if the answers are all 2 then the final answer would be 16,384 on twelve questions?

Gosh Nigel, 2000! It almost seems ashame to spoil that nice round figure by making this post. I remember I used to look at the number of posts on the old forum and see high posters like Peter and Killyp (as Alex was then), and think "Bloody hell, I'm never going to be that sad" Yes Leon, we had a great day, and more photo's to come

Nice eh?
