Eldred, what about Boxing Day?

Planning EldredP's holiday full-length GPL races

Don McCorkle asked whether EldredP would again host a full-length Boxing Day Grand Prix. Eldred agreed to run races at Spa and on New Year's Day, and participants discussed start times across time zones. The thread drifted into jokes about Holland versus the Netherlands, why the Dutch are called Dutch, and 'going Dutch'.

Is there going to be a second annual Boxing Day Grand Prix? I really enjoyed the full length races you put on last winter. Don McCorkle

If at all possible, could the race be scheduled for late afternoon/early evening CET? I have to go to my inlaws for a traditional Christmas lunch. Please note, DGF, we do Christmas lunches all of December in Denmark. Actually, we even start in November and end in January. /Jens

In Dutch it's: Holland - Hollanders or Nederland - Nederlanders.. so who made up this Dutch thingy? Andre

That's because Germany isn't called Germany in German. It's Deutschland - land of the Deutsch. The Brits considered us Hollanders to be some sort of Deutschers too, living in the same region (from their point of view) and speaking the same kind of language. Deutsch - Dutch... it's just an historical mistake. It even dates from times when neither the Netherlands nor Germany existed as countries. Bye, Leo

Maybe you can explain this other great Dutch conundrum for me too. Why do people say "going dutch" when they go on a date and each pays their own way? To me it implies that the Dutch are cheap, but I have never seen evidence of that. You probably don't know the answer to that because they don't say it there, but over here people occasionally say it.

The Dutch are traders, and usually traders don't want to pay a dime too much. Of course, they're not as cheap as the Scottish. You know 2 Scottish guys invented copper wire when they were fighting for a penny?

Correct 3pm CET. The earliest I could join a GP on Boxing day this year would be 7.30pm CET / 1.30pm EST, as I'll either have to work or attend a funeral in the afternoon.
