Finnish Independence Day

It's Finnish Inependence Day today. More People live in London than there are Fins, in fact more Fins probably live in London than in Finland, but I loved the country when I was there and feel a great deal of loyalty to it. Exceptional people and very clean and environmental living. (By clean I mean healthy!)
Interestingly I was minor guest of honour at the city's independence day celebrations - was there on exchange so hadn't thought to bring any posh clothing - all I had was one smart blue shirt and a tie. Didn't think there was anything wrong but people kept looking at me funny.
Later discovered that my blue shirt and yellow tie looked great as a swedish flag - the country the Fins were celebrating independence from........ ho hum.
Fell asleep on their finance minister on a different occasion, an' all! (Explain later)
