    Thanks to the Baby boomer generation there is now plenty of rented accomodation so the younger generation can focus more on their playstations.

    Have a nice day.

    I hope they make the most of the opportunities that present themselves to the young.

      It is eye-wateringly expensive.

      Stuff you would expect to pay a fiver for in the UK, you are looking at 2 - 3 times the cost in Norway.
      WHS, and I've heard that beer in Norway costs the equivalent of almost £10 per pint.

      It's a wonder most Norwegians don't simply brew their own beer and wine, unless they're public spirited to the point of being simple minded!

        Long, cold, dark winters. Expensive to live, but having attractive women. I expect the men spend most of their time shagging, not worrying about tax rates.

          Yes. That's almost the same price as a pint in a fancy London gastro-pub.

            You've hit the nail on the head, I've always wondered why Scandanavian women are attractive, probably if they weren't they would have sat around lethargically worrying about high taxes and long dark nights and died out.
