Thats hilarious.. coz as far as I’m concerned the rivalry between “West” Germany and Netherlands is almost as bad as India-Pakistan especially when it comes to soccer. I’d really like to see a B S Pandey, Lavelle Road, Bangalore, INDIA, PAKISTAN address :D

The “West Germany” part is understandable, what is surprising is the country being stated as “Netherlands”.

You get your bills, right?

Frankly, it surprises me that the bills are getting delivered at all! I wonder what route it takes. Singapore –> Netherlands –> ~~West Germany~~ Germany?

You know, even though Bombay, Madras and Calcutta have been renamed, flight services still use the old abbreviations – BOM, MAA and CAL (I think).

Dusseldorf used to be in erstwhile W. Germany. Since nobody wanted to break what is working… (Hey! You know its in Germany, right? You get your bills, right? Then why are you complaining?).

I cannot explain how The Netherlands got there, maybe they think the place you live in is in the nether lands? :->
