Lucia in Mikaels church

My daughter Rebecca is one in the choire singing in Mikaels´ Church in Uppsala. She opened the concert with a Christmas song on the cello. It is the music profile classes of her School making this traditional Lucia concert on the 13th of december. However the repertoire was not that traditional - very entertaining though!

Swedish female Zebra Crossing

In Sweden it has been decided to replace half of the "Herr Gårman" ("Mr Walkman", can also be understood as "Here you walk") - signs with female versions. All in the name of equality of sexes. The problem is that in Uppsala the wrong version of the sign has been erected (UNT) and it is to be replaced by a more moderat version, with longer skirt and hair and smaller breasts (the article above).

Ebba Busch, the Christian Democratic vice mayor thinks the wrong signs should be auctioned out in order to cover some of the costs. It is now possible to make a bid on Tradera! 

Actually the "wrong" version of the sign was designed by Kars-Gustaf Gustafsson - the designer of the original male sign.
