Just down the road from you - Barendrecht.

given she is 6m below sea level shouldn't that be 'up the road' ;-))

'Down' in this instance means South of me :~))

"Up" North "Down" South. A return journey 'home' for us is always quicker
because it is 'downhill'.

I have to attend a Funeral "Up North" in Birmingham tomorrow. It will

take
longer to get there and use more petrol as it is "Up"

;-))

Convention in the past was always "up" to the larger city or Capital.
Although "north" does seem to be more up than south.



That's right, one went 'up to London' regardless of the starting point.
