I am truly sorry to say I do not know what a Hooray Henry (or ditto
Henrietta) is - should I count this as a lack in my upbringing? The rest of
the text says "no" but I don´t know what is referred to by this phrase ...
why do I get the impression of persons hanging at a bar (THIS BEING THEIR
MODE OF KEEPING VAGUELY UPRIGHT) AND GOING "hörru du hörru du hörru du"
(this is Swedish for "heyaknow heyaknow heyaknow")

Happened to me in Prague. Dreadful. So was the wine. And the "drink" that
was "free" and tasted like something that is being offered as free in the
kind of restaurant where you are attacked by bogus gypsy musicians in
Prague. Or Budapest. Or Nuuk [1].
Cheers

[1] Nuuk is on Greenland for those ignorant of that town.
