Those Crazy European Neighbours of Ours.

Fleggaard Holding A/S, through its subsidiaries, markets electronic appliances. The company specializes in selling televisions and radio sets. Fleggaard Holding is based in Krusaa , Denmark .

Just across Germany 's northern-most border with Denmark you’ll find an incredible superstore called Fleggaard. There, you can buy everything you need – tubs of gummy bears, cases of wine, industrial strength dishwashing soap – at prices 30% cheaper than you’ll find in Denmark .

It is Denmark 's Costco, packaged as a German loophole.

Now I was going to go on about European sterotypes and how they should be avoided but enough of this yakking. Here's the Fleegaard commercial, it's real and if you don't smile at this you must either be dead or something...

Possibly not in keeping with current thinking on diversity, but brilliant nevertheless.

Glad to be of service.

What about RM last night then, losing to those giants of European football Lyons?

...and who'd have thought it after 20 minutes: great goal by CR after 5, then several Higuain and Kaka chances hitting the posts etc...then...step forward the 'usual' FRUSTRATED and FRUSTRATING RM.
