Now it's the turn of Danish womanhood.

Outside the library this morning three Danish schoolgirls canvassed my opinion on Scottish independence. They told me they had come over to do this as part of a school project.

When we studied the economic geography of Fife at secondary school I think it was up to us individually to suss out whether the sugar beet fields described to us actually existed or not.  To be fair the school organised some trips.  We went to the Rothes Colliery which must have been all of ten miles away.  We went further afield one Easter holiday to spend a week near Abingdon studying (sort of) West Side Story and Salad Days.  

But this Scandinavian venture seems much more ambitious.
