Scheveningen. You either love it or hate it. Holland's number one beach resort is located around 6 k.m, West from the centre of Den Haag and can be reached by trams from the main stations if you don't want to sit in traffic and risk overheating which is still a problem despite the fact that modern cars very rarely have radiator problems. There is a new road being built from the main A4 Amsterdam to Rotterdam motorway and to paraphrase an old joke bout the M25 and the Dartford tunnel you should be able to get to the traffic jam at the road back from the prom a lot quicker when it is built.
The oldest student of beach studies finally graduates though by his pose it looks as if he had to join the Freemasons in order to pass.
For a minute when I saw the sandy pitch and a blow up ref looking the other way I thought I was at Kenilworth Road home of newly promoted Luton Town but I then realised I could see both goals as well as get a decent cup of coffee.
I'm sure international travelers who are sensible enough to use London Luton airport rather than the more stressful Heathrow, Gatwick or Stanstead are most welcome but check with the club for availability.

Some free advertising but it is a generic brand like Hoover but from a distance you can notice that it hasn't been painted this year and I did hear a rumour about some sort of dubious accounting practices so we advise NDBO readers to review their exposure and consider Pepsico who have just posted some good results.
Sunbeds strangely with no towels draped over them. Perhaps we can put this down to the recent fall in the DAX XTRA index though I did see some German cars a bit later in the day.
Tables set out awaiting the first coffee drinker of the morning.
Obviously the climate is not as agreeable as Torquay, South West England, UK which explains why the palm trees are stunted.
A giraffe perhaps he's about to say
You and me ain't nothing but mammals ..."
Scheveningen attarcts many international visitors and as you can see Dutch, Scheveningen attracts many international visitors and as you can see Dutch, establishment.
Around about 9:45 and as you can see the stampede has begun but it's too hot for me so I'm off.
And finally for are readers in Northern England and that doesn't mean Barnet. It's whippet racing weather here but there is usually a wind coming off the sea like there is in Scarborough and Skegness.
Due to a misunderstanding with the photoshop the slightly more pro-British part two of the story featuring will be at a browser near you sometime around the middle of next week.
If you temprature has risen to the level of a car raditor in The New Forest If you temperature has risen to the level of a car radiator in The New Forest does we will observe normal newspaper standards but instead of saying "name and address supplied" we will say "email address supplied".
I'm sure you know what to do by now.
