Bob S, trust me, after 18 years in Europe I know that every country there understands German and English. Nobody, but NOBODY understands SWEDE except the Swedes, and they are quite proud of that fact!
Its one of the most beautiful and unique countries in the world and they are a very proud people. I've spent my whole life all over this planet and have finally come home to the U.S. to settle down. Visited Sweden thrice, and enjoyed it immensely each time. Never saw a FGF there.....so our Swede member must be very popular when he drives that Firebird down the road!! He may be one-of-a-kind in his entire country. :p
