The Netherlands is to spend thirty years and as much as £270 billion building a fake mountain to help the famously flat country become a winter sport superpower

I'll eat my own arm if this goes ahead :eek:

A fake story about a fake mountain eh...

Seems expensive and I can't see them making the money back from extra tourism in any reasonable amount of time if it was for real.

They call them **** heaps in Stoke,
I think they come free when you mine coal.

£270 billion for Sports, I despair at the idiocy of humanity.
