  • This is the absolute worst advice for coming to a European country. It’s probably different in Denmark but for some countries or cities at least you won’t be able to get through the bureaucracy needed to legally immigrate without speaking the language. Even in offices that mainly help foreigners you may find the employees don’t speak English. And if you want to be there long-term, good luck making real connections if you don’t speak the language.







  • That’s very much not true. Workdays would typically last around 6 hours, not including multiple breaks during the day. Also, your employer would usually provide the food for lunch, and it was acceptable to have a nap in the afternoon.

    In winter, even shorter days were common to account for the reduction in daylight. If you were ill, you’d simply not show up and not get paid. In fact it was normal for people to only work for what they needed in the immediate future and stop showing up as soon as they had enough for the week

    Stamford bridge is also a bridge though. And the location of a very important battle in English history. If you’re not a football fan, you might be familiar with the battle but not the stadium (as was my case).

    I think this example is more like if she thought scalloped potatoes involved scallops, but there were actually 2 dishes called scalloped potatoes, one of which does involve scallops
