Yes, during the late 80's we (the Dutch) had a pretty much left wing government, which thought that people wouldnt use "soft" drugs like marihuana, when it was legal: the thought was that people would only use it because it was illegal: making it legal, would take away the reason for people to use it. They were partly right, however it had a nasty side effect: making one step into that direction, effected that many kids then also took another step, again into the illegal: using more severe drugs like cocain and XTC...
During that time it was legal to sell it, but not legal to grow it commerically !!
Since 1st of july this year, selling it in the so-called coffee shops, as well as using it on the street is not allowed anymore.
Nowadays people with diseases like Multiple Sclerosis are using it on a medical basis: I think the law still allows us to keep 5 marihuana plants for private consumption. I dont know exactly how much space the law permits, because i'd rather drink Jagermeister than smoke weed

You can just type "5 gallon in liter" into Google, and it converts the units: It even converts money, but this exchange rate information shouldnt be used commercially, they disclaim
5 gallon is 18.92 liter. We used to buy in 60 liter barrels (15.85 gallon) but work safety laws doesnt allow it to be heavier than 25 kilo anymore, since early this year. I think we get 5 gallon jugs too nowadays, though i didnt buy oil lately because my 60 liter barrels are still filled
i think i payd about 300 Euro for the 60 liter barrel of 10w/30 STOU tractor universal gear oil.
Last week i needed a 1 liter bottle of 5w/40 fully synthetic oil to top up my TDI, and i payd 17.50 Euro at the gas station !!!

4:52 am is in the morning, not the night.Didn't know you lay awake at night counting helicopters
What Europeans pay for hydrulic [sic] oil is irrelevant to everyone except Europeans.

Good Afternoon Renze,
Im just suprised that a dutchman would drink something from western Germany !
Only kidding of course, I drink it on occassion myself, of course my grand mother immigrated from Esson in the twenties !
These days the kids drop shot glasses of that stuff in mugs of beer and call it a JagerBomb !

WHOOPS !!!
i re-checked that price, and i was wrong. Before the Euro (8 years ago ?) we payd 300 Dutch guilders for 60 liter of 10w/30 and 250 for 15w/40 engine.
I checked the price i was quoted last year, it was 115 Euro (ex VAT) for a drum of 15w/40
.... you could say a slight difference to the 300 Euro i mentioned before...

Dont worry about that, the WW2 sentiments have faded.. The ones who still hate Germans, are an allmost extinct breed...
Hmm... do you want to know the price of a 5 gallon pail of hydraulic oil, or the Jagermeister ?? you kinda lost me here...

Back in the late 80s I worked for a European company here in the states. At the time CDs costs $12 to $16. The Europeans would buy up CDs to take home since they cost $20-24. The difference was from taxes.
If one does not believe that taxes really drive up costs in Europe google VAT.
Redneckford, ease off on the name calling. TBN is not the place for this behavior.
