Dutch

So apparently the circus is coming to town. And not just any circus either - we're talking about the 'Big Dutch Circus'! I wonder if that means it will be more exciting than a Belgian one?
I have been to a couple of circuses in my time - one in San Francisco, one in Cheltenham. They are great when you are eight years old, but they seem like a spectacle curiously out of time these days.
I was pleased to see the promise of an "all human spectacular" - not because I have anything against Martians, but because it means that most circuses have finally realised the indignity of making lions and tigers perform silly stunts for little kiddies who have eaten too much popcorn.
