Maybe it's interesting to explain ...Dear Gonzo,<br />Maybe it's interesting to explain your 'kiek in de kök' sign. It is an old-German expression that means (literally): view in the kitchen.<br />That sign stood (I think) near by a watch tower. The soldier could see from their high place through the windows of the cottages in the neighbourhood on the furnace where the women were cooking their meal.<br />In the old Nether-german language (a mix of old-German and old-Dutch)that watchtowers were (are?) called kiek-in-de-kök.<br />The meaning of that phrase is now-a-days: to have a view at the process of something, more than only looking at the result.<br />Greetings from the lowlands and thanks for your conversion of the LP Pyewackett in MP3.<br />Good stuff!<br />Muzoekmuzoekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05670189009509337275noreply@blogger.com
