No cheap shots about "going Dutch" yet. *phew*
Did you know that all those negative axioms in the English language about the Dutch are the remnants of a very long running pissing contest between the Dutch and the British, going back all the way to the Anglo-Dutch wars in the late 1600's?
Which the Dutch all basically won, by the way. 
I'm from Canada and I had a Dutch girlfriend in uni. She wasn't
bad but the rest of her family were unbelievably tight. My family
is Scottish and we were lavish compared to that lot.
I wouldn't say all Canucks are tight, but I have known a few who
were. I do think they loosen up with age.
