I wish you had put this on here earlier Simon, I just booked a weekend away in France. It would have definitely been Holland if I had known.

Take a detour Peter.

The person who should get much of the credit for this in The Netherlands is Wiel Maessen a colleague of mine at TICAP. I know he worked tirelessly behind the scenes and is a fitting reward for all his efforts.

It is good that msm are reporting it. Is that just online or was it in the papers?

Is this now going to be a start of something?

I sincerely hope this will be the start of something and that sanity will return to the rest of the EU weenie countries that took up this draconian smoking ban to the letter of the law that threw smokers out in the gutter.
Especially countries like Britain and Ireland.
I know where I'll be going in future for a break.
Well done Holland.

I have no doubt that you are aware by now that it was reported in the DT, and quite prominently also!
