    It seems Belgium territory got bigger this weekend :)
    Funny story from the BBC website here

    "A local history enthusiast was walking in the forest when he noticed the stone marking the boundary between the two countries had moved 2.29m (7.5ft).

    The Belgian farmer, apparently annoyed by the stone in his tractor's path, had moved it inside French territory."


    Aside from that, the enthusiast had a good eye for noticing the error!

    Germany and The Netherlands next...

    In the between world war years this would have led to a bloody confrontation . Perhaps a good mass bloodletting now and then teaches a generation or two of Europeans to just mellow out a bit.
