When I drove back and forth at weekends on most occasions I was stopped and searched at customs, (single male in a car). I ended up making an official complaint to HMC.

Leading on from Burdock's suggestion, whilst jokey there could be a good point. They take flood control very seriously over there - for obvious reasons. I think they have a 'flood minister' - or something similar.

Might be a bit of a stretch for you to take all of the good points about the Dutch flood defence systems and get them implemented into the UK, but aim high and all that!

Yeah, the flood barriers at Rotterdam are an impressive example of engineering!!!
