[Stevie] IN the Netherlands they are affectionately known as the Citroen Eend or 'duck'. There's also a brand of toilet cleaner in NL and in the UK called 'Toilet Duck' or 'Toilet Eend'. We are truly going round in circles.

(pen) I get the impression the Dutch are cheerfully lavatorial. Is that a fair assessment?

[Stevie] Not really, not as much as the British. It's a coincidence about the Duck thing - it's a Europe-wide name for the toilet cleaner because of the shape of the neck of the bottle. Now I'm trying to identify the Dutch sense of humour...

[pen] The boy with his finger in the dike points* the way to the Dutch sense of humour, I think.

* Ahahahahaha

Not seeing the connection between the bottle-bank on wheels and a duck, myself.
