language
can
i have a hof?
a what? – comes a shout so panes
and
glasses rattle
the
inn lady looks
sharply at me – of course she
knows
full well what a
hof is – but here in
nørre snede can i have
a
beer – here in nør
re
snede you don’t
give yourself airs – got the mes
sage
mister smart arse
so
do the dia
lects cross swords as in a ven
detta
the waitress
answers
completely
differently to what i
had
expected ‘to
day’s
menu meat
loaf followed by strawberries’
neither
more nor less
to
put it in a
nutshell take it or leave it –
that’s
the way it is
not
to mention the
parting short in the inn lounge
at
nørre snede
i
notice that the
coffee hasn’t been put on
the
bill and draw at
tention
to the o
mission – you don’t need to pay
anything
for that
my
lad – i mean that
is just bloody fantastic
would
you credit it
