In that case why comment?

Giethoorn, Overijssel. At least the old part of it.

Kalenberg, Overijssel ditto.

Wengen and Saas Fe and the like don't have cars, and can't be accessed by car so I assume they don't have roads, only paths, but I have never been.

Mont St Michel only has paths, no roads.

None are cities though.

I remember a very long delay on the way home from school years ago. There had been an accident between a bus and a lorry. When they separated the two, they found a bubble car flattened between them.
Ouch!

No-one I have met has ever complained. To Hollander yes (when they aren't from Holland), but Dutch no. I have met some fervent Dutch but they never complain about the name.

In Dutch they are Nederlanders, and speak Nederlands.
What would they speak if they are Netherlanders?
Netherlands or Netherlandish?

Friends of my parents had a Heinkel, a friend of my brother had an Isetta, and a friend of mine had a Messerschmitt.
All nasty things imho, but they were cheap and meant people could get around.

When I was really young my parents had a Reliant Regency van like this. In those days some roads had grass growing up the middle - always exciting in a three wheeler .

I always thought it was Yorkshiremen who were strong in th'arm and weak in t'ead.
My brother always says that of his two Yorkshire born sons.

My location is also accurate .

Gwyn saw one last weekend it was on the Ipswich to Felixstowe old vehicle run. Was there also a Heinkel?

Really! They are still around?

Yes there was also a Heinkel - more like the Isetta in shape. A proper bubble car.

Or maybe it is that the good, relaxed nature of the forum has returned, and so has his humour.
He always did have a great sense of humour - it was just that some people didn't appreciate it, and then things got out of hand.
