The Dutch don't speak French, they find it revolting (almost as bad as German). I'm just weird

So we Germans are wrong automatically thinking the Dutch would talk to us in German with pleasure whenever we go there?

In Ireland it is still common to hear people say 'yous two' and indeed my parents and grandparents said it all the time. Although an upper class Irish person wouldn't dream of saying it- except perhaps when having imbibed too much poteen or Guinness.... Can't say I've heard 'yous' in Australia, but then I haven't frequented any Irish pubs here (they always seem to be full of Swedish and German and Dutch backpackers anyway)...

The Dutch and German and Flemish posters will be happy to know at Tocumwal in New South Wales at the Sportavia Gliding Site, Anglo-Dutch-German harmony reigns. Go there any day to hear what sounds like two cats hacking up furballs and it'll be the Dutch and Germans yammering away ten to the dozen, but occasionally forgetting and using Dutch, English and German interchangeably. The world record holder glider pilot Ingo Renner flies from there, and a very peasant place it is too. So if there are any budding glider pilots, do visit Sportavia's website....here endeth the advertisement.

A reasonable amount of German, and that's about it(And yes, before anyone points it out, I know the name is wrong).
