Re: A right now thread

My mother unfortunately passed away on the 14th. I am currently trying to arrange things from Sweden including the trip back for her funeral. And getting massively frustrated with the idiocy of the UK and its covid response. Basically I have to self isolate on entry, a rule that they only just imple...

Re: Have you ever thought seriously about emigrating from the UK? What did you consider?

Been in Sweden 2 years and not regretted moving. But then I was clear that I couldn't bear to stay in the UK in the direction it was going and I really wanted to be in Sweden when I moved. I took just under 2 years to make the plan, travel and explore and be happy I knew what I was getting into here...

Re: What have you done today thread?

Worked half my hours, went out on the bike for a quick spin, 3 hours later am home and working the rest of my hours. Swedish companies are great for flex working especially when the sun is out and its a nice day. Had lunch by the lake at Vista Kulle

Re: utterly random picture thread.

Sweden doesn't have stone circles like the UK, the stone formations here are longboat shaped.

Re: Show us your cars ?

Have to confess that I got a volvo XC60 when I got to Sweden. This is the car last winter just as the snow started to come in, got a total of 30cm here last year :wtf: :D It's not so bad as winter tyres are legally mandated for the winter and they do come and grit every road in Huskvarna, it's just ...

Re: How's the lockdown going for everyone ?

No lockdown in Sweden, people are still going out to restaurants and bars as if nothing is happening. ;) :shock: We currently have the worst figures in the Nordic region somewhat unsurprisingly but their aim is to avoid a second wave that is worse which they think will happen to all countries that l...

A lot happened in that time, now resident in Sweden and finally back biking and loving the biking here. A country twice the size of the UK and 1/7th the populat...
