• In Sweden, half 5 is 4.30, half of 5 apparently

  • That’s right, I’ve been living here for over 15 years and this still trips me up.
    It’s also common to say things like “5 before half 5” meaning 4:25.

  • I missed a fair few trains and social appointments and wondered why the normally oh so helpful and polite Swedes were being such cunts to me....then had that explained to me
