July 11, 2006: Rising tide

swearingAnglo Saxon words are much in evidence here in Denmark and have been ever since we arrived but this is a clothes shop chain and therefore very difficult to avoid. This picture was taken in Kolind, a stone’s throw away from us and I know there is at least one more branch in Aarhus. I have doctored it to protect young souls.

Danish TV is showing a  Gordon Ramsey series (I presume there are several) which the girls desperately wanted to see and which made me wonder whether it was shown after the 9pm watershed in the UK or is f-ing and blinding OK at any time of the day now?

By the way, the web domain .nu is very popular in Scandinavia because it means now. Since it belongs to Niue Island in Polynesia there are many possibilities for buying a web address with that domain name ending. (Just noticed that you can’t really see the web address of the shop in the picture anymore as I have reduced the quality so much!)
