Dear Lowlanders,
Two of you, some weeks back, noted the conspicuous
absence of two states from the signatories of the European
Charta, Belgium and Ireland. One notable state also in
this category (marginally concerned by LL, having
annexed a piece of Vlaanderen) is France, the land of
égalité, liberté, fraternité, where égalité means a.o. that
all have to speak the same language, and where all other
languages have a common name: patois (meaning
gibberish). Thought I mention that for the record.
Mike Wintzer
