NZ Voorburgwal is a big long street and there are loads of british porn companys using number 86 on that street as a mail drop address. There are several others using 66 and 88. With the only difference in the addresses of each firm being the suite number. Thats why the address seemed familiar to you Taff because it is almost identical to the addresses of companies such as STB, NCV, Your Scene etc. who are also at 86. It is confusing! Especially when a company moves on and you get a catalogue from the company who take over thier old address. To make things worse some have a letter in front of the suite number. The bottom line is just the postcode.

There are also some good museums on NZ Voorburgwal if anyone is visiting and can tear themselves away from the sex shops.

I told you I was a porn anorak!

German, yes, but Dutch?? ROUGHLY. 86 New Wall Street..1012
SE is the Postcode. More logical than English (not difficult; any ToEFL will tell you that it's the absolute hardest to learn to speak well, like wot I wrote...).
BTW, please don't piss off the Dutch by calling their country Holland: it's The Netherlands.

OK Dutch lesson time

Voorburgwal roughly translates as
First Fort Wall

it comes from when Amsterdam was protected from its Enamies by clay walls and dykes,no not Gay Women, the thing the boy put his finger in , hmm that sounds no better, anyway we would call it a moat and the clay was built up around it. Hence Voorburgwal First Fort Wall.
Now much better words are LUL = Prick and Klootzak = Scrotum/Ball Bag.
