<div dir="ltr"><div>We Dutch are born tall and shrink after puberty, so we'll have to resort to age and maturity. In contrast, our drains and ditches (sloten en slootjes) are rejuvenated yearly, come in all sizes, and make no difference between draining and irrigating. Also, they can be free flow but not necessarily, and if there is a flow it can be either way. </div><div><br></div><div>Bonne chance, mappers!</div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Fr gr Peter Elderson</div></div><br></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">Op di 15 jan. 2019 om 17:11 schreef Tod Fitch <<a href="mailto:tod@fitchdesign.com">tod@fitchdesign.com</a>>:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><br><div><blockquote type="cite"><div>On Jan 15, 2019, at 7:28 AM, Paul Allen <<a href="mailto:pla16021@gmail.com" target="_blank">pla16021@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="gmail-m_5709417635290941742Apple-interchange-newline"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, 15 Jan 2019 at 15:22, Peter Elderson <<a href="mailto:pelderson@gmail.com" target="_blank">pelderson@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<br></div><div class="gmail_quote"><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">At what size is it that a ditch turns into a drain?<br></div></blockquote><div><br></div><div>The same size that a boy turns into a man.
