Interesting place, Zwolle.My tutor ( she comes from Den Haag, but lives in Poole !! )told me that,during the war, the Germans rounded up & confiscated virtually all the bikes in the Netherlands. Ever since then,apparently, the thing to do on spotting a German is to exclaim "where"s my bike ? !! ".I gather that most young Germans today have absolutely NO idea why they are being asked this !!But what fun !!
