Constantine, you say you are from Godless Britain, in which case surely you
KNOW that Belgium is an imaginary country? All Brits know this. How do we know it? Well, because we have no pejorative name for its people.
Think about it for a moment: we have Frogs, Krauts, Cloggies, Eyeties, Pork-n-Cheese and filthy stinking Scandiwegian b*st*rds, but what would you say if for some reason you wanted to mention a "Belgian"? That's a sure sign that they are imaginary. The place was invented by Agatha Christie as a home for Poirot and is now just place that Europeon politicians put on their expenses claims.
Were some of the signs in French and some in Dutch? If so then you have been on the Froggie/Cloggie border.
Their joke food is also imaginary - never mind the mussels, but French fries with mayonnaise?
Don't get fooled again, Brother.
