Greetings Turnips!
Autumn. Fall. Höst. Call it what you will. Golden hues on the trees and chestnuts roasting on the open fire. Like an SJ train, it has arrived, and left almost immediately. Next stop Seasonal Affective Disorder.
Before you contemplate the bottle, or entertain suicidal thoughts, fear not, The Turnip is back!
Move away from the window! Put the gun down! Get out there, make a snow angel and sign it in yellow.
Shout it from glade and glen - Hey! Hey! We’re The Turnips!
Svenska Hörnan
(Essential Swedish from 1958)
Jag måste göra en grundlig undersökning
I shall have to give you a thorough examination
Jag måste lämna in klockan hos urmakarn
I must take my watch to the watchmaker
När bliv Ni tagen till fånga?
When were you taken prisoner?
Fienden är under full reträtt
The enemy is in full retreat
Things we still giggle at........
On rainy days in Stockholm, parents attempt to entertain and educate their offspring at Tom Tits Experiment.
“We’ll go to the Tom Tit Museum. Come on darling, you’ve read all the Tom Tit books”
What a load of Tom Tit!
Of course, as giggling Turnips, we assume that all Stockholmers speak Cockney rhyming slang and know that Tom Tit = Shit.
What a load of pony an’ trap.
