So far have got

Dear Mr Rutte,

Hi.

I am writing to complain about the price of the tents made in your country.

Now for example look at this darling little <a class="break-all" href="http://translate.google.co.uk/translate?hl=en&sl=nl&u=www.esvocampingshop.com/en/tenten-en/lichtgewicht-katoenen-tenten-leichtgewicht-baumwolle-zelte-en/eskimo-tent-en.html&sa=X&ei=kxrfT5zWIMm_8wOJo_yXCw&ved=0CGkQ7gEwAQ&prev=/search%3Fq%3Desvo%2Beskimo%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dsafari%26tbo%3Dd" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">ESVO Eskimo. How lovely is that, and so light, 3875 g, amazing! And yet made of canvas. Genius. But at ?415,20 they are having a laugh.

If you could sort something out on this front that would be awesome. Have a word with the total crazers at De Waard too while your at it.

Lots of love,

Yours sincerely etc

PS Great Hair.

When we lived in NL we had a Dutch tent made of canvas. It was very nice but I am most doubtful about a canvas tent weighing only 4kg. My canvas tent weighed as much as my house does.

who has a 4 kg canvas tent??? that cant be right.
The ones we had couriered back were between 40 and 50 kg.
Ive just had a new one weighing about 38kg sent in the UK for £21
the most expensive from holland was about £56 using DHL through a broker

Nettle I think you forget that it is Elves that are making them.

They could make a 4g canvas tent if they put enough of the magic of Valar into them.

Doesn't Dutch, written down, look like a speech defect?

Or is that not helpful?
