Tony,
Gothenburg is the second largest city in Sweden. Kitwe is the second largest city in Zambia. And the reason I have heard of Kitwe is because I've been there. But I haven't been to Gothenburg, and I know very little about it (except that thanks to Bandit I now know that Batman doesn't live there).

Tony,
You're having the laugh this time. Even I know that Stockholm is the capital of Sweden :roll:
Where am I?

Tony,
That's what happens when you leave your thread unguarded ). Look at what you all did to my French dictionary one when I left it alone for a couple of hours :lol:

Ally
No Tony, I wasn't trying to wind you up. Do you know, for example, where Kitwe is (without looking it up!)?

Bandit,
I wonder why he moved :shock: :lol:

Edit - Well at least all this wibble had made me do some geography homework. It seems that Norway is the one that isn't in the EU. I wonder if that makes the Norwegian Krona cheaper than the Euro at the moment?

Ally
mfc,
That's exactly what I said. I'm sure Batman lives there.

And, anyway, I bet most people don't know exactly where Gothenburg is. I thought it was in one of the northern countries, but I couldn't have said whether it was Norway, Sweden, Denmark or Finland, without checking. And then, on top of that, I wasn't at all sure that they were all in the EU. Geography was never my strong point! )

I wonder what Stewart's doing in Gothenburg. Do you think he's Batman? :D

I think they're expensive - about £200 :(. Hasn't he grown out of gaming yet? A pack of cards would be much cheaper :D :D

Ian,
I would think it was pisted. They have another sign for off piste, which I think is 'hors piste' in French.

As I said somewhere at the beginning of this, there was one of these signs at Tignes on the T-bar, and we went up it anyway. I never did find out if the sign referred to the lift or the red piste down. Anyway, we were fine. Presumably they'd put the sign up because of the ice, which did make conditions very difficult.

I imagine they put that sign up when conditions temporarily become more difficult (because of ice for example) than the grade of piste would lead one to believe. Otherwise, the piste would just be graded black and they'd only get 'good skiers' or kamikaze-like beginners.
