Girlfriend: Do you think these pigtails make me look like Pippi Longstocking?
Decster: Not particularly. Anyway what do you know about Sweden?
Girlfriend: It’s famous for chocolate
Decster: I think you’re talking about Switzerland
Girlfriend: Watches!
Decster: Also Switzerland
Girlfriend: Hmmm….. neutrality?
Decster: Close, but again that’s probably Switzerland
Girlfriend: I know! I know! Swedes! Swedes come from Sweden!
Decster: No they don’t, swedes come from the ground
A sadly all too familiar conversation in the Decster household. And in case you’re wondering, the night finished with Girlfriend insisting that Volkswagen was Swedish for ‘viking wagon’.
Actually, Dec, I think Sweden *is* neutral.

Indeed. But Switzerland is more famous for its neutrality.

Even I know that Ireland is famous for its volcanic lagoons and propensity for whaling

If being told what to do by the Germans is neutral, then we’re all neutral…
