I came across this after reading an article on BBC news (cheers Grommit).
Belgian crisis
Well here in Holland it has been regularly in the news, I remember hearing about the subway tunnels from Flanders and Wallonia being funded to the same costs to keep everything 50/50 but the crazy thing was that the Wallonians didn't even use many of the maintained tunnels but they insisted that they recieved funds to keep them maintained
I don't mean to be disrespectful I'm just curious what everyone thinks about this, and was wondering how our southern neighbours can sort out there differences.
Many Dutch people (me included) would warmly welcome the Flemish (Dutch speaking Belgians) as a part of the Netherlands (or United Netherlands) but I don't think it's quite that simple. What do you think.
