Agreed--I've found all of those in the Netherlands,
and all of those as well in the US. [1] However, I should
have been more clear: I was speaking comparatively
(the comparison, in this case, being North America).
So I think the statement "doesn't do much" is still
valid in that context.
I *have* been in the Netherlands at times when Bart
Smit is running clearances; it's usually not a Target-
level of clearance, but it's not like Zellers' 99-cent
markdown (Was 79.99, now 79.00? What a bargain!).
I don't know if InterToys ever does the same.) Fences
and trees for NGL 5.-- was definitely sweet.

with me.
