Has this information come to you from your own studies of the wider world or is b3ta to blame?

# I knew a few Dutch, Belgian, Swedish and Norwegian folk from World of Warcraft
they all seemed to know a lot about British culture and sub-culture as they can get BBC and they were mostly fascinated by 'Allo 'Allo and totally got the sense of humour involved.

# Allo Allo was apparently translated into many languages
I have no idea how they managed to translate a lot of the accent/mispronounciation jokes

# Well most of my friends preferred it in the original English they said the translation was awful
and really didn't need to be translated. They especially liked the British spy/policeman one and often quoted him word for word, they loved it. They were also very fascinated by The Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies

# Dunno, apparently it came out late 2008/early 2009 but I can't find any more than that :/
I always thought the rank-and-file Germans (as opposed to the gestapo) were treated rather sympathetically in it, but I don't know whether they'd see it that way

"My nephew would let you do that with her, but it costs an extra 500 schilling" I'm worried about the use of 'nephew' and 'her' in the same context but whatever floats yer boat

# Im always impressed by European people's ability to understand Brits better than we can understand ourselves
or any other language. We had very rudimentary French Language lessons at school with no real emphasise of actually learning anything about the language. But on the continent they learn English as a second language and most are multilingual, which puts Britain to shame.

# This is very true. I also hate the arrogance of British people going abroad and talking English at the locals.
I was actually referring though to the fact that "lul" is Dutch slang for penis. Having said that though we can use phrases like cocky and dicky without so much as a snigger.

# Oh right that's a another Dutch word I've learnt "lul" :D
As I understand it also Wan Kok means Bad Cook in Dutch as Mediocre pointed out on my Facebook.
