New U.S. ambassador to Denmark

My interactions with US Chiefs of Mission would tend to indicate that they are rather busy. This, judging by the ferocity with which their staff keeps their schedule.

I meant they dont make any decisions.

We Brits will join the US in that one. There's bad blood from way back.

Come on! That was sooo long ago!
Can't we do something to make up for it? How about we swap our US ambassador for yours?!

Mistaking England for Britain isn't helping. Britain actually consists of Scotland, Wales, N Ireland, England and the Danelaw.

Yeah, the Scots in particular would probably be on the side of the Danes in a match against England.

Well Denmark did give us Shetland and Orkney so we should do something to show our gratitude...

"Give?!"
Well, you have to be cautious when you pawn something to somebody …

 

[Parsman]

Lol true... my Gran was from Shetland and she died a believer in Shetland going back home to Norway. The other half of my heritage is from Fife and appreciates the sleekitness of the Scots about this. As they say, "it taks a lang spoon tae sup wi a Fifer!"

From what I’ve heard through the grapevine, so far she’s been busy reassuring Danish businessmen that Trump’s threats of trade war shouldn't be taken seriously.

Hope she isn't confused.

There are more confusing jobs, I think, although they seem to be enjoying themselves ...
