ARF . . . your attempt to misread my point for the sake of humour leaves me cold. The Swedes are collaborating barstewards anyway.

(That is, assuming we are all continuing to follow the traditional British custom of judging nations entirely on the basis of what they did in the Second World War.) In that case you'll be sure to know that the Swedes collaborated FAR more with the British than with the Germans. One example, of many, is that they told the British when they'd sighted the Bismarck -- a formidable battleship -- leaving the Baltic headed for the Atlantic. A key piece of intelligence. The Bismarck later sank a British battleship with a single shell, but was chased by half the Royal Navy and eventually succumbed to several hundred British shells and several torpedoes. The Swedes gave us vital information, at considerable risk. In my opinion, the Swedes and the Dutch should run the world. Head and Heart. Here endeth the First Lesson.
