Jeremy Vine was trying to make the same point as Neil, but was getting corrected by callers from Sweden.
"Ah but!" said Jeremy, "in Sweden they don't have folk going on the lash like in the UK and getting all cuddly at closing time!"
"Wrong" said the Swedish callers, "Folk in Sweden like a bevvy as much as the Brits"
"Ah but!" said Jeremy, "in Sweden they naturally social distance!"
"Wrong", said the callers, "Swedes have not been doing any social distancing"
Jeremy - "Er, I think I'll play some Undertones......"
p.s. One of Jeremy's callers said that even the news in Sweden is now largely Conoravirus free and they are onto more pressing matters.
