Observations of Sweden

Well, we've had quite a few weeks of lovely observations so far...

Including, that they call it summer if it's still over 10 degrees in a week...  Let me well reassure you, that even by their standards - summer is now over, I'm sure we haven't climbed to the dizzying heights of double figures in our temperature for over a week now!

Swedish puppies are all refined, and like - I don't talk to strangers, they travel with their people on trains and wander around in shopping centres without much excitement (so, I guess they've kinda gotta be well behaved!)...

And, Swedish ads are in quite a lot of cases quite frankly funny - sometimes it's because we can't decipher them and they just sound funny, sometimes you don't want to decipher them because the Swedish is more funny than the translation is ever likely to sound...

And then, there's ads like this - designed for a company called Locum, who were wanting to wish people a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year:





















Advertisement gone wrong, or disgruntled Marketing employee...?
