Of course it happened in Drenthe!


Why?


Drenthe has a reputation in the Netherlands as being a somewhat backwards region in the middle of nowhere. This isn't really helping the reputation. :)

A common "meme" is to claim Drenthe doesn't exist.

I love how in The Netherlands the "middle of nowhere" is a 90 minute drive from the capital :)


I'm pretty sure in Australia if you drove 90 seconds from the capital you'd (still) be in the middle of nowhere.

Lol. The capital is in the middle of nowhere, that's why. You need to drive a few hours northeast of the capital to get to somewhere (i.e. Sydney).
