Okay John, I'll add you later.
Big Crunch- the reason I say that is I dont think Holland is a province of the netherlands, I think it is also known as THE NETHERLANDS... And I had a short discussion with a Dutch apolytoner about that- I'll take his word for it since he lives there, but seeing a pencil produced there that confused (with both names?), confuses me

Actually, Holland IS a province of the Netherlands, it is in fact 2 provinces: North Holland and South Holland (they used to be a single province)...Originally posted by DarkCloud

But either way, 'made in Holland' is a stupid phrase as they put that on most Dutch products, even those not actually made in Holland but in some other part of the Netherlands

Darkcloud, it seems to me you are using MS Word to compile this list.

Actually, Holland IS a province of the Netherlands, it is in fact 2 provinces: North Holland and South Holland (they used to be a single province)... It had a province between Holland and Holland... without specifiying it was North and South 
??? Hmm... It seems the dutch are giving themselves the name Holland... oh well... I now understand better.But either way, 'made in Holland' is a stupid phrase as they put that on most Dutch products, even those not actually made in Holland but in some other part of the Netherlands
