Give me a Dutch city (e.g. Maastrict) on a Summer Saturday night over any UK city complete with its fighting yobs and paraletic women!
DTA, you obviously haven't been to the 'wrong' places in some of the larger Dutch cities.
Maastricht is indeed a wonderful city, but it is in Limburg - which, as far as Limburgers are concerned, is a different country and another way of life altogether. Even they, by the way, also regard the "northerners" as rude and arrogant.
