Sarehole mill the Inspiration of Tolkien for the shire in lord of the rings (He lived nearby)

king's norton church and the Saracen head pub in the suburb i grew up ( uk veiwers of restoraration will recognise)

Short history of Holland.
At first there where a bunch of tribes, much like the Vikings actually. Killing each other and other people of course. Just a rough bunch of guys having fun, in their own way.
A very log time afterwords, the most of them made friends and conbined into 7 provinces (something like a miniture state).
It worked out fine, so others joined later on.
We have been concured by i.e. the Spanish, but after 80 years (in real time it was less, but that is just a detail) we killed the Spanish and fucked their wifes. (Now we go to Spain on holliday, to do the last part )
Then we became the biggest seafairing country in the world, we kicked ass on the oceans.
We had people everywhere. New Amsterdam was ours, so the Americans are actually somewhat Dutch.
Everyone knows about the 2nd world war, so I will scip that part.
We have the most beautiful cities on earth, i.e. Rotterdam, Arnhem and some other cities.
And we have been awarded as being the nicest people on earth, for the last, whell, about 300 years, give or take a day or 2.

Seriously, I'm not joking.

Well, I'm actually pretty interested in the history but I'd be lieing if I said I had't cut and paste it from another site. And I'd have gotten away with it if it weren't for you pesky kids!!
