Sorry Johannes, I used the word "Scandinavian" since we also visited Norway otherwise I would have just said "Swedish". From my experience in the UK, Norway is more synonymous with Scandinavia (what with the popular childhood understanding of Vikings and the like) than Sweden and less so again with Finland. Thanks for the clarification though; it's interesting to see what other people perceive to be the common meaning of words we all use. Paul
