Apparently the owners of this door - which is at Koninginneweg 44 - got so fed up with Britons mistaking their home for the British Consulate - which is at Koningslaan 44 - that they deemed it necessary to put up this sign.

do you think something like that would stop us brits from knocking on a door ?
more likely we'd still knock and say "are you sure this isn't the british consulate" ?
in the same way we SHOUT in english to be understood when abroad rather than going to the trouble of learning another language.

I didn't say it would work ;)
Thanks for the insight into the British way, though.
