Mountain climbing?


Taken on the way home this evening after another long day.
Got a message midday from MOTH saying he had
locked himself out. Not a problem I thought, he can come and get my key, until I checked in my bag and realised I 'd left my key at home too.
Oooops!
The good news is we're getting a new door tomorrow!

Hi Crowbard. Not Swedes. A Swedish gentleman once said to me "Not Swedes Michael. Swede is vegetable. We are Swedish." He would have had a good point with your comment, as there is no such thing as a vegetable meringue, I think. But I can see what you mean. Those peaks and drifts look absolutely edible. Reminds me of those great curling fenland dykeside snowdrifts we used to see as boys, only more so. Warm regards, Mike.

You aren't by any chance vaguely related to Julie Andrews are you? ;-)

Crowbard, the Swedes do, especially in the south, I don't.

And M&A, I think you'll find the Swede came first and then the swede. I don't see how they can object to having yummy things named after them?

Pat, I will try and remember.

4D, odd you should ask that... yo-ho-le-odil-le-ho!

Hi Mike,
I defer to the respected Swedish gentleman in Swedish but surely in English the word 'swedish' means 'like unto a particular kind of root vegetable' and Swedish refers adjectivally to their language as well as their nationality and personages. As swede is the noun denoting that vegetable so Swede is the noun which refers to a person of Swedish lineage. Capitalization showing due respect to their nationality, don't you think?
I accept that the linguistics may be trivial but Swedes are a nation of gravitas and import and the manner of their proper address is worthy of all due propriety.
