I've spent thousands of hours waiting for buses in the rain and yes that rhyme could well be the national motto. But still it's not much fun with bags of shopping and small children.

But I can undash your stereotype: I'm English. Mind you my boss did once say to me "Du har blitt en ekte Viking."; the previous day I had walked out of the office to go home dressed only in a light jumper and shorts while it was tipping it down. It was summer so not too cold and anyway where I come from the rain comes sideways from the Atlantic.

Glad to hear you liked it here, perhaps you'll get a chance to come back once COVID-19 is sorted out.

You are not alone. I certainly can't do it and it seems to be beyond the local authorities here. Actually I wonder if it might actually be provably impossible.
