Yeah.. In the summer we are buying potatoes, at a local farmer. The same
about eggs, and other goods, you can get at a farmer.

I live in a small town, and we know eachother, that's pretty nice :)

Heh, Voldsom means Heavy (don't you have that word in Swedish).. It's taken
from a sarkasm-movie called "Brødrene Bisp".

Yes, i guess they have a bigger market than Ericsson.
