The Netherlands, is funky!

See what you can buy on the streets here....

..... and what you can't.

Well that's fine for the adults but a young enquiring mind needs to be introduced to the big wide world slowly and what better way than through play? With the toy below you can introduce your kids to the fun and excitement of drink driving without having to worry about the hassle of car theft and getting the family motor trashed.

Amsterdam, is not only a wild stag night party town full of Eastern European prostitutes and coffee shops that don't sell coffee, it's also an enigmatic city of great depth and charm. But enough of that.........

I think this one means "No buskers!"

"Man, don't piss on the arch?" My Latin is very rusty!

I actually like this city a lot and so to this end I shall try to write another entry this week covering the following topics:

• 101 ways to carry the kids on a bicycle
• How not to get run over by a tram
• Canals, 18th century architecture and subsidence
