What's their food like? A veritable smorgasbord of Scandavian chow – there’s meatballs, black pudding, potato pancakes and Reindeer available. And if a slice of Rudolph doesn’t appeal, there’s always cabbage soup. Yum!
Local tipple: Liquor. Hard liquor. Absolut Vodka and Aqua Vitae are the order of the day – preferably not mixed, mind.
Biggest cultural oddity: Ikea: the yellow and blue monstrosities that gobble up your Sundays. It’s not just that you’re trapped in a furniture maze – it’s the ludicrous names you have to wrestle with at the checkout: “Can I have two Ribbleyboobs and a Snootunbargen, please?”
Most likely to kill you: The cold, probably.
Phrase to memorise: "Min svävare är full med ålar!” which means “My hovercraft is full of eels!” – Hell, it could happen.
Best place to visit: Lapland, to see Santa Claus! Or, if you’re not eight, Stockholm. It’s cool and full of hot blond models. You’ll like it.

National animal: The Elk. (Or Moose, if you’d rather).
Impressive pub trivia: In Sweden the only place you can buy beer, wine or spirits over 3.5% is in special Government-owned shops called “Monopoly shops”. It’s like the cash and carry, but far, far weirder.
Sports they would beat England at: Anything to do with ice: ice skating, ice hockey, jumping into baths of ice – if it’s cold, they’ll do it ten times better than us. Fact.
Would you want to live there? If you ignore the cold… yes. The women are ludicrously hot and the wages are high. It’s win-win.
