Portal talk:Netherlands/Did you know

There are some grave errors on this page:


 * incorrect grammar: about half of the surface area of the Netherlands is below 1 meter above sea level? Should read: about half of the surface area of the Netherlands is 1 metre below sea level?


 * Dutch company Philips invented the audio cassette, the video tape, the compact disc and the CD-ROM? Philips did indeed invent a videotape system called V2000, which is more specific.


 * prostitution is legal in the Netherlands? Prostitution is not legal. It has been legalised. The business of exploiting women for a profit is still illegal in the Netherlands. Prostitutes are, however, not exempt from paying VAT!
