ok.. time for more derailment?...
shortly after moving over here I asked a French friend..
"whats with you guys, it's a complete scrum at the market, no one ever queues!!"
and was told it was because of the shortages during the war and the deprivation "we" suffered ( he stressed we )

I had to laugh and look at him.. "deprivation? you not even 30yrs old...even your mother was born after the war.
( as with some of my comments here it was not appreciated )

p.s.... loved touring the Anne Frank house.. well.. love is not the proper word... shocking, awakening, enlightening.
