juvenile generalisations.
"In the company I work for I have many Dutch colleagues, in general I find them an absolute pleasure to work with, very professional, and they usually speak better English than I do, and I am supposedly a native speaker."
I agree. How can ya make sweeping generalis(z)ations about people just because they come from a place within a political boundary?
It is certainly true that people from places share a common culture...the Swiss can be aloof...the Germans can be pedantic...the Austrians can be warm hearted....the French are the French..etc etc
Some of the comments made on here belong in a kindergarten!
Cut the prejudice please!
