We *think* he said he could speak Norwegian, so maybe option 1. Too young for option 2, we think…

Funne that he claims to have stayed in Norway for a long time without speaking any English. Our German is rather rusty, and we tend to insist speaking English to foreigners.

He could
1) have a gift for picking up Norwegian fast, it is not that difficult for a German.
2) have been here in 1940-45, when there was no need to speak the local language.
3) have kept to himself.

Some of the blokes who were there looked like they might have been in since breakfast, now you mention it.

I plan to breakfast every morning in Neder after I retire.

I like to think it’s to enforce sociability, but I fear entertainment may be nearer the mark. At least we knew to ask the barmaid this time. I dread to think what would have happened if we’d sat at the other free table (another unmarked Stammtisch).

We kept saying “Sean Connery” but he wasn’t having any of it. You’ll no doubt be pleased to know that he thought Irish people all had red hair too.

Proper German pubs = terrifying. I knew this already.

So what do you suppose the point of a non-locals table is? A legal requirement or a form of entertainment?

And I hoped you pointed out a) that all Germans are blond with gigantic comedy moustaches; and b) Sean Connery.
