Kære Emil,
jeg havde helt overset at du - naturligvis - også taler dansk. In exchange for
my explaining the somehow confusing realities about the Heerings and the
Herings (what's next, the Herring's..?)I'd like to know about your name as well, it definitely doesn't sound Nordic to me...
As far as our discussion on border controls is concerned, maybe you know that Denmark within a couple of month will join the socalled "Schengen" group of countries. As a consequence the border control between DK and D will be
suspended - and then any traveler can go from the Northernmost point of
Continental Europe - the North Cape in Norway - to the South of Italy or
Portugal without having to produce the passport at any point. It's quite a
progress compared to the situation 50 years ago, isn't it ?!
What about a nice little bet on the WC-Qualifier IS-DK in Reykjavik next
Saturday - loser pays a large beer ? OK, you're first...
Regards
Peter
Ølstykke/DK
