"There are probably so few Dutch people who don't speak perfect English
that's its not worth bothering with :-) "
Well that is true the majority of Dutch/Flemish also know English well,

sometimes... "change trains" / "overstappen" gets lost in the
translation, especially when originally they were told otherwise...
I wouldnt mind doing that for my life... helping the bewildered with my
dutch (simple as it may be, so far I can recall approximately 100
