Farmer accidentally makes Belgium bigger.

[Silver]

A farmer in Belgium has accidentally moved a boundary marker between his country and France, thereby expanding Belgian territory by a few metres.

The man placed the stone, which has marked the border for more than 200 years, 2.29 metres into France after it got in the way of his tractor.

The slight boundary change was noticed several weeks ago by an amateur historian during a walk in the forest.

The farmer “also repositioned his fence on trees that belong to the wood of Bousignies”, according to Aurelie Welonek, the mayor of the French town Bousignies-sur-Roc.

A smaller France doesn't bother me, but I wish they would stop moving Finland.
