Winterdijk Proverbs Route
In the building at Winterdijk 30b used to be a telephone exchange. From here lots of wires went to houses so people could call home!
Stop by the Winterdijk Proverbs Route
It puts (no) bottom line
'If something is of no use,' it means that something is of little use. The proverb originated because people put sod (= large pieces of grass) against a dike to prevent it from breaching. You can also say: 'that makes things better', in which case you mean that what you do makes sense. The Winterdijk used to protect the city from flooding from the Meuse River. That made a difference!
