worth remembering that at the time of Dutch colonisation of N. America,

dyes of the time, red was more visible at sea than orange. Watching
Holland trounce Italy 3-0 in the opening Euro 2008 match last night
brings home how much the old colour still resonates!</div> <div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"> </div> <div style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Paul</div><br style="font-family: arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">
