A rare thing to see a Walloon. You often hear others speaking about them, but people has never seen one. As if they were a legend.
Now seriously, the only Walloon that I remember having ever met around here is the Consul of Belgium. Which is funny since nearly all of the
Belgians resident here must be Flemish, and they are quite a large community. And if I didn't know that he is a Belgian, I would think that he is French.
And well, since the Flemish are the largest ethnic group in Belgium, I guess that we will have to blame them for the bad driving skills for which the Belgians are known.
