De Brabantse Pijl: April 14th 2021

[Cannavaro]

From now until September I will take it upon myself to stop at the top there on every ride and piss down the hill to make sure they look nasty again

I was today at Moskestraat an wanted to contribute my fair share to a more traditional Moskestraat and thus a better World Championship. But then I saw this sign!

In case you cannot read it on the picture:

"Believe NIET in deze omgeving te PLASSEN aub"

My Flemish is very bad, but I think it says:

"Pissing in this area is unwanted. Thank you!"

So either some resident is reading here or Billie has overdone it a little.

It's not "Believe", it's "Gelieve". So, a G, not a B.
gelieve ~= please, kindly etc
AUB basically means the same thing. Als't U Belieft. If it pleases you. If you please.

Kindly don't pee in the vicinity, if you please.

Could just pour fruit juice down it. It’ll have the same acidic corrosive effect.

I thought it was signed 'AVB': does Anna not believe that a tough cobbled climb would be to her advantage?

I suppose that would be "cutting out the middle man", so to speak.

I have also seen the signs at the top of the climb I will respect the locals wishes.
