There seems to be somewhat of a crisis at Vlieland at the moment. The story in the Volkskrant is about the fact that the whole of the police corps, six or eight persons, has been dismantled and has for the time being been replaced by two interim police officers.
The story in the VK is really nice, it gives a good insight in the relaxed atmosphere on the island and of the islanders. Everyone knows everyone, if someone stumbles at the beginning of the street and hurts his toe, at the end of the street it said to be a broken leg. smiley - biggrin The police officers that are relieved from duty are not allowed to talk, but there's an interview with the major and the people of the village speak freely.
What's also good this week is the column of Sylvia Witteman, she's great the way she describes the behaviour of her kids.

smiley - laugh Yes, that was mentioned by the female police officer behind the desk: the trouble is to find the people who found the objects reported being lost.
Yes your bro must have provided you with inside information about the difficulties within the police force. My stepmum says there is now a 'bestuurlijke' crisis as well. You know anything about it?
