Sometimes you simply cann't find your things anymore. We use to say here "ïf it was a doggie it would have bitten you."

My comment on this sword is still unchanged

Dank u wel Henk ! Mij Nederlands is niet zo goed .... I remember my wife's mother from Sliedrecht had many strange sayings , the one that stands out if I remember right was 'voor iedere scheve pot is er een scheef deksel' .... she was referring to my wifes sister and her husband !
Thanks for the ID .

Richmond,

I think you can find your way here in Holland. The saying of your mother in law is well known

Michael,

We understand each other

We have the same proverb in Germany: "Auf jeden schiefen Pott passt ein schiefer Deckel!"

For all who don't understand: "For every awry pot is a matching awry cap"

Excellent .. I am not sure if we have an equivalent in England .
