Nice subject interesting comments.
A neighbour of ours who used to live opposite us was a Amsterdammer.He married a English girl and lived in the UK a few years.He got homesick and lives in Amsterdam again with his English wife and childeren.
A true Amsterdammer is a character great sense of humor outspoken and not afraid to take action when needed.Dutch goverments have always been weary if there is a problem in Amsterdam it tends to spread to the rest of the country.Amsterdam always had a big jewish community living in the (Jordaan) unfortenately WW2 took a lot of them away.A nice song (Bij ons in de Jordaan sang by Johnny Jordaan tels all about Amsterdam.I havent been to Amsterdam for years last time working on the Hook of Holland ferry we went to Amsterdam through the Amsterdam Rijnkanaal to Amsterdam a queens visit in Amsterdam opening the new canal.On my next visit to see my sister in Rotterdam I will fly from Doncaster to Amsterdam and take the train to Rotterdam I might have a walk in Amsterdam have a coffee listen to their accent which I like and get the feel of the place again .
