(Now driving in Belgium between 9pm and midnight is a whole different matter - that really is scary)

True ? Just being curious : why is it so scary?

Worked in Nynashamn? In the oil/refinery industry?

Because Belgians all like a drink and drink-driving is still socially acceptable (or at least it was when I lived there in 97/8). The roadkill rate there is horrendous.

Nynashamn was for Telidatorer - the computer arm of Telia which made the Compis PC (which you will know if you are of a certain age and went to school there).

Hi, seems like the discussion is going off topic. Can anyone answer my second question: what kind of salary level can I expect? Just a ball park figure would do. Thanks!
