I'm told in Amsterdam they enjoy the odd tram flattened tourist on toast .So Gwyn, what roadkill do you consume in the Netherlands?
It was an exceptionally well written joke. A shame it was cut.

Maybe major international corporations use it (though the major international banks here don't for domestic accounts), but your average European whether Dutch Germans Swiss or Spanish will use commas instead of points and vice versa.
In the e-bay advert though the seller has just filled in the postage wrongly, since the comma is in the wrong place.

No idea. I would love to know too. Always enjoy a good mystery .

Nevertheless it is normal here to use a comma where in the UK/US a point is used, and a point where a comma is used - so 1.000.000,99 rather than 1,000,000.99.
Our bank uses that, as does the Windows calculator.

I guess they thought your joke was a bit tasteless Polchraine, as opposed to pointless. It did make me laugh though.
We have had sun for the last few days but nowhere near that temperature Techno. Now it's gone all cloudy on me.
And I have pulled a muscle in my back - chasing grandsons around on all fours I twisted something and ended up on the floor in agony. They though it was hilarious though .

The Photographer's Ephemeris will soon have an app - it will cost $8.99 though.

Not that I have an iPhone, or want one. My son has one though and has all sorts of apps which he finds useful - all free ones though.

My son is a Calvados drinker. But his Calvados brand costs more than most malt Whiskies do .

Grey squirrels are classed as vermin, like rats.
Would you not kill a rat Gareth?
I'm not in favour of hunting for fun, I don't see the enjoyment in destroying a life, but vermin need to be controlled.
Perhaps if, in the past, fewer people had fed the greys in their gardens, there would less of them now, and the red might stand more of a chance. Given where beginner lives I can see why he would want to get rid of greys.
They are not a native species and like Japanese knotweed, they are destroying native species.
