No thank you! We might take an option on a small strip of Kent but that would be about it I'm afraid.

If you would consider the Netherlands we could perhaps make a trade...?

Why would anyone want to adopt anything in the South East, close to the BIG HEADED CITY

I don't know, we have enough BIG HEADED CITY folk already, if you ask me.

We could do with a few mountains1) though, so perhaps Wales? As some of you don't seem to like it anyway.

1) In the Netherlands, anything over 100 meters or so is called a 'Berg' i.e. mountain.

No - no one dislikes Wales - it's a lovely place but the people are terrible.

I was actually considering the strategic advantages of a strip of coastline in Kent. It would make for a nice bridgehead! ;)
And Fenton; you don't know what I want to trade so I wouldn't be too sure :D

Actually we see loads of NL numberplates down in the Westcountry in summer. So I think the invasion may already have started.  ;)
