John, X is back! Any netherlandophobic stories available?

Thus uttering some UI...

The first thing to do is check EW's CC in order to determine whether there is ME
or MA. ISTM that South has no reason to double other than West's mistake on the
number of keycards - BTA this is AI for him and if ME occured he can change his
final pass (the auction period is not over yet and North did not make a
subsequent call).

I would like to be wrong :o) Anyway, there must not be many EW having played 6S
without AK in trumps...

Best,

Manuela
