Cost of a Pizza????

Hmm, is the climate in the Netherlands really that different to that here?
Whenever I go to the low countries, it always seems to rain...not too different to here then!
(In fact, I was in Belgium about 4 weeks ago, and there were hailstones as big as garden peas!)

According to my sis who lives in Aberdeen, it rains a lot more there than here in nl.

Ah, you see I live in South East England, where the climate is  noticeably warmer than Scotland.

See this map (apologies,dialup users):


I live in the bit of England just above the 'LG' of the word BELGIUM. Compare that to Aberdeen...

Where I am is actually further South than you in Groningen

Incidentally, WTF is 'The West Bank' doing marked on a map of Europe!!!!

I suppose you might be right, as it stretches from the Shetland Isles, which has a similar latitude as Oslo and Helsinki, down to the Channel Islands near Normandy, France.

It's just that my experience of where I live, compared to the time I've been in France, Belgium and the Netherlands, is that weather seems very similar. I think we both see the effects of the gulf stream, which is uncharacteristically warm weather for our latitude, and rain.

You actually lived in these countries?

[Cyberus]

Apart from France, no. I haven't lived in Belgium or Netherlands, but merely spent periods visiting them. Agreed, I have only probably spent a few weeks in each country, its just that everytime I've been, its rained! [Yes I know that doesn't mean its always like that]

If you look HERE
You will see a clickable map of Europe. If you click on UK and the Netherlands, and look at the annual rainfall figures, you will see that in Netherlands, annual rainfall is 831.6mm, while in UK it is 752.1mm.

or at least a few painful hours of it ;-)

E.coli? Listeria? Botulism? Campylobacter? Clostridium perfringens?...or something more nasty?

Only if you were lucky. Terminal necrotizing rectal inflamitis with secondary degree burns to the sphincter were a common cause of fartalities...

A local pizza place called Pizza Time is that last time I remember ordering a pizza via the phone. It was greasy, doughy, and delicious and cost about £9.95 for a large meat feast. That was like 10-15 years ago.

I think I had to order some coke and garlic bread to bump it up to £15 to get free delivery.

Since then Lidl have provided the best pizza I've eaten at a damned cheaper price, and it doesn't take a genius to bung it in the oven and set the timer for 20 minutes. :-)

Too right!
My local Lidl has an offer on the mozarella pizzas, £1.29 for two, just been there an hour ago actually and stocked up...
Lidl and Netto are genius.


By the way, I just remembered, when I was a student in Manchester, there was a pizza place right down the town end of Oxford Rd, Babylon Pizza I think it was, and it was like 2 quid for a 9" pizza with three toppings - perfect post-pub munch...
