I overheard a conversation at an electronics exhibition in London back in 1985. It was between two guys - one from Norway and one from Sweden. The quickest and easiest way for them to communicate was in English. It shows how us non-Nordic people think that there's just one language north-east of Scotland. The above exchange is very entertaining, though. I'd have written this in both languages, but Babelfish has let me down !!
Well, I'm from the west of Sweden and we are generally considered to be at least half Norwegian so we do not have any trouble at all understanding each other, nor the Norwegians......
