I wasn't talking about a general modern Dutch accent but the older one 
that e.g. pronounces one as 'when'. In a slightly milder form it was 
also spoken by our former PM ruud lubbers IIRC. To their defense, it was 
developed during the period when English lessons consisted of making 
translations. No English was spoken during lessons.
