THE Dutch have voted themselves Europe's third most loutish, bad-mannered nation behind Russia and France, according to a survey in Dutch daily De Telegraaf.
"As we are too many people living in just a little country, our tolerance of one another is continuously declining," wrote one of the survey respondents.
But another citizen protested: "The Dutch are very direct in the way they communicate. Sometimes that's considered the same as being bad-mannered."
The Dutch voted the Swiss, Scandinavians and the Belgians as Europe's most polite nations.
