    The English have traditionally admired the Dutch: at some point in the 17th century, a Spannish fleet of warships was in a British harbour, having been given permission, with some English warships on guard.

    The Dutch got wind of it and sent in a fleet that pounded the Spannish ships to the sea-bed. The English sailors from their ships cheered the Dutch on, and of-course it became a great embarassment to the king and Parliament.
