I don't really do cars any more but.... I've noticed a few things about cars in Norway.
Firstly, they are almost all black. Is that for the opposite reason that most cars in Perth are white, I wonder?
Secondly, Norway has more than its fair share of Teslas. I reckon they must have bought a job lot.
Similarly, throughout Scandinavia we've seen quite a few of those 1950s cars from America. You know, the ones with huge bonnets and fins at the back. They seem to have a 'thing' about them here.
One for the birders now: here in Scandinavia you can find fieldfare. They are guarding cherry trees with as much vigor as they do berry trees in the winter in England. Strange that, I hear you say, swift and fieldfare in the same air space at the same time. What is more, the 'winter' geese from England are here (Canada, Barnacle, Greylag) rearing young. That's not something you are in England.
I can sense I'm losing my readers here.
One final thing: in praise of education. What a wonderful thing reading and writing is. If I'd have learnt some Norwegian then I'd have realised that the bottle of iced tea that I bought in the supermarket to calm my delicate tummy was in fact a bottle of brown fizzy drink that tasted of bubble gum.
When is the last time you had bubble gum in your mouth?
