In particular if anything has to involve Dutch civil servants you can be assured of mighty **** ups and silly slow reactions to obvious urgent situations.
If I get a jab before Christmas I'll be surprised.

I know what you mean! I lived down in the southern Netherlands (in Limburg) for two years. All government business took so long, in particular the state medical services that made the NHS here in the UK seem very sprightly indeed.
