    They sailed up the Thames and sank the English navy. Early 17th Century I believe.

    More like mid to later 17th Century, but yes the Dutch certainly did do that.

    If memory serves, the Dutch successfully attacked us in June 1667.

    Monny to confirm.

    So what, they ran out of hash cakes? They were after our tulips? what provoked this uncharacteristic cloggy thuggery?

    That sounds about right, Mon.

    Perhaps someone with Google will confirm.

    It was part of one of the Anglo-Dutch Wars. The sneaky/clever cloggy bastards attacked the ships when no **** was on them

    Don't we say Dutch Courage because they used to deliver to plague infested Britain and allegedly would have a quick snifter before unloading at the docks?

    Brian May wears clogs iirc.

    Not sure if the plague has anything to do with it. More to do with the British coming across the Dutch invention of gin and having false confidence.

    Summat like that. Apparently beer made today is because of the Belgians who used hops to help preserve the brew which otherwise wouldn't stay fresh for more than a day or two. At least according to Inside The Factory which is fast becoming the best TV show in the Grove household.
