Two more from this year's xmas holidays.
Not many people know that the typical Flemish landscape extends from
Belgium well into Northern France. People even used to speak Flemish
there until the government in Paris put an end to this like they've done
with all regional languages in various French regions. By the early 20th
century, there were signs on the local schoolyards saying "It is
forbidden to spit on the ground and to speak Flemish!"
Sounds like the government in Quebec City :-/
