Interesting. Do Brits (still) call the inhabitants of the Netherlands the Dutch like Americans do?

If so, what does the Netherlands think of that?

We don't give a damn. But the bureau of tourism does, that's how all the 'Holland' nonsense got started because they though 'the Netherlands' is too hard for the tourists. Ironically, 'Holland' only refers to a small fraction of 'The Netherlands'.
