Cheers for the answers Thanks that is a great answer Never mind. There is a Troll thumbing down my answers. It is a great answer, btw.

Well the easy answer is that it's not legal, because it isn't :0) To explain what I mean, people often refer to it as being legal, but actually it is not the case and is merely 'tolerated' under given condition (e.g. sales only via a coffeeshop where no minors can be admitted, no advertising, no more than 5g per person, and so on. So for example, if you were pulled up for another offence, they you "could" be charged also for possession Therefore because or as well as, driving in the Netherlands under the influence is not legal, or tolerated. Actually there is a decent page on Wikipedia on the policy "It is prohibited to operate a motor vehicle while under the influence of any drug that affects driving ability in such an extent that you are unable to drive properly. (Section 8 of the 1994 Road Traffic Act section 1). The Dutch police have the right to do a drug test if they suspect this, for example on anybody involved in a traffic accident. Causing an accident, which inflicted bodily harm, under influence of any drug is seen as a crime that may be punished with up to 3 years in prison (9 years in case of a fatal accident). Suspension of driving license is also normal in such a case (maximum 5 years)" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drug_policy_of_the_Netherlands#Drug_law_enforcement EDIT - thanks :0). Obviously someone doesn't think so, but never mind

What do I need to move to Holland from the UK and obtain work there
What do I need to move to Holland from the UK and obtain work there?
I have very few qualifications. I can't speak any Dutch. However I do have 2 years+ of Call Centre experience and I heard English speaking people can get Call Centre work in Holland. I'd like to be able to move closer to my girlfriend (who is Dutch) but see very few options available..any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes it's true that there is work out there for English speakers. There is call centre work, order management etc etc wortking for International companies. However, although not to the same degree as in the UK, there is a downturn here and that is noticeable in the decreasing job market and some jobs like this can and do ask for higher education or experience. It also depends on where your gf is living. If she lives in and around the A'dam<>Den Haag<>Rotterdam<>Utrecht area (and especially Amstelveen, Hooffdorp & Schiphol area) then you have a fighting chance. If she lives in another area then it gets harder as you will need fluent Dutch. Anyway, never say never of course. You have an advantage in that holding an EU passport (I assume) then you are free to move and get a job which other nationalities are not able to do. I have answered a couple of similar questions like this before, so to save me retyping then you can find details and links here http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=And71WC6GGi6fvvg486PEKnty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080522155350AAw0XIS Best of luck

I can answer only a part of your question. A recent PBS program on sex education in Holland said that sex is taught like any other subject. Nothing is taboo and they use young teachers for the classes. They even teach about masturbation and as a result their girls are still virgins about 3 years longer than girls in UK. I think your children's fright about sex will dissipate quickly.
