    It's a holiday! "Hemel" is Dutch for "Heaven", and the Dutch 'V' is pronounced like the English 'F', so, as you can imagine, it's pretty windy (hovering around 30kph). But at least it's not rai... Oh. Forget that last bit.

    I'm sure you're referring to the dialect spoken in The Netherlands, because here in Belgium, (where they speak proper Dutch, ... euh mostly), the V is pronounced as in verdict, vixen, vice, vermin and, of course, V. :-D PS: Hemelvaart is on May 14th ...

        Yes, but AFAIK, it is "liberation day". Hemelvaart is in nine days.

        Ah, but liberation from whom? Go on, google it; you know you want to... I wish I'd known. Leiden is fun on Liberation Day; I'd have popped down there. I never pay attention to calendars. Even Christmas surprises me, most years.

                Or is that your "specialization"?[^] :laugh: // EDIT And I meant the spelling and not shouting or silence from the referenced post.

                  I live in Hemel Hempstead, or, ironically enough, "Hemel Fart" as it's known to the locals.

                  Not sure about 'Heaven', did you mean 'dodgy roundabout'[^], or 'highly combustable oil refinery'[^]?
