Here in the UK, or in the US, the police used to ask for favours from shopkeepers as a way of augmenting their salaries. Those days are long gone, thank goodness; police now regularly get busted and fired if they try for such favours. However, in Sweden, if someone steals your trombone, you might want to stop by the bakery before reporting the crime to the police. Thanks to MadPriest for the tipoff.

I posted my absentee ballot this afternoon. Went to the Post Office on the Walworth Road and waited 15 minutes in a queue to get the thing weighed and £1.22 of postage put on it.

Feel satisfied, though. I have now done my civic duty.
