Another
rubbish town: I went to school to a town which, at the time, had the highest percentage of pensioners in all of the Netherlands. It had 1 pub. This pub was located about 10 meters (that is about 3 elbows in imperial) off the sign that says 'Amsterdam'. What's the point? If we have to cycle almost to Amsterdam we might as well cycle all the way to the 'real' city. It was a shit pub anyway.
How lovely trivial my teenage troubles seem now ......

I think the whole point may be that
it's not really in cycling distance; and that the edge of town is just too damn far for that shit.

I know Amsterdam isn't really that big, but once you take all the suburbs and everything into account, well, it's 10 minutes on train to the edge of the city.

Then again, I don't know how it is on bike as I can't cycle. Often a source of mirth with the Dutch people I meet FUCKERS, YOU'RE ALL FUCKERS WHO HATE PEOPLE!
