Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Mr. John's song "Mandy" convey a theme of love and longing for someone who is not reciprocating the same level of love and attention. The singer is desperate to have Mandy's love and is shown persistently calling her phone, but despite his efforts, she never picks up. In the chorus, he pleads with Mandy to pick up his calls and come back to him. He expresses his loneliness and inability to move on, as he always ends up running back to her. The lyrics also show that the singer is aware of the toxic nature of the relationship, as he wants Mandy to go away and stay out of his life. Despite this, he cannot resist the urge to call her.

The lyrics use a mix of English and Nigerian pidgin English to convey the singer's emotions effectively. The use of "yeah yeah" and "oh no o" in the chorus helps add a sense of desperation and urgency to the song. The repetition of the words "calling, calling" in the chorus emphasizes the singer's constant efforts to reach Mandy. Additionally, the use of the phrase "super story turn something else" in the second verse shows an understated frustration at how things have turned out.

Overall, the lyrics of "Mandy" showcase the rollercoaster of emotions associated with love and heartbreak. The singer is both frustrated and desperate to have Mandy back in his life, despite being aware of the relationship's negative impact on his mental well-being.

Swede here. Thanks for your interesting travelog of the Scandinavian countries. It is always lovely to hear what others think of us, especially Brits, since we (at least I do) feel a close affinity to you having both visited Britain many times as well as worked with Brits.

I'd like to recommend two books written by your countrymen:

The first one is Michael Booths book "The Almost Nearly Perfect People" which I thought was hilarious, inaccurately spot on (yeah .. both) and just a great fun read. It covers all of Scandinavia including Finland and Iceland.

The second one is Andrew Browns book "Fishing in Utopia". This one hit me hard, I grew up in Sweden during the same time that he lived here, and his take on my country of birth is just gorgeous. It is stunningly well-written (I've read it in both English and Swedish). I can't recommend it highly enough.

I'd also like to comment on the wildlife aspect. I have seen Moose, Red deer, Reindeer, Fallow deer and Roe deer many many times through car, buss and train windows .. yet I have never ever seen a Bear, Wolf or Lynx (there are Bears and Lynx around where I live .. though no Wolfs).

The scariest animal to encounter whilst driving is a Moose. They can be of enormous size, way bigger than Red Deer. Having extra headlights is an absolute necessity driving in the northern half of the country (this goes for Norway and Finland as well) from late august to may. June and July you can drive without them as the sun barely settles below the horizon leaving us in a fantastic mystical light.

That's when the magic happens.

Cheers from Sweden 🍺

Much respect to you both for being honest enough to thank the tax payers of Scandinavia and Finland who subsidise their community facilities.

John & Mandy

Thank you.. we owe them a lot ❤️❤️

One reason for the good gravel roads in the Nordic countries is that they are used for transport of the timber out of the forrests. The trucks are 24 meters with trailers.

John & Mandy

Very good point..!!

In Sweden you can buy hummus nearly everywhere. City Gross, ICA, Coop, even Lidl (and others of course, that are just the big chain ones). Most have them even in different styles. They are normally located in the fresh stuff aisle with other sauces, cremes, potato salads and other mayo salads that needs to be kept cool. I am living in Sweden and eat a lot of hummus so I should know. :)

John & Mandy

So many comments about this now 😁😂 it seems I have a knack of finding the shops that don’t sell hummus! We tried about 6 in Sweden, 3 in Norway and the first one in Finland had it (where I did the laundry)

In Scandinavia we say "Nordic countries" which does include Finland & Iceland (soon Estonia too, Tallin by now I'd say). Denamark includes Greenland & the Færo islands.
It is like Britian and the UK, there is more to the UK than the island of Britain.

Here I thougth i lived in the real Scandinavia - I learned in school that Finland is a part of Scandinavia - and all the people I know is counting Finland as a part of Scandinavia… (No, I do not live in Finland myself, but they are a part of our lovely Scandinavia) Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania is not Scandinavia, but is called the Baltic countries

Kristofer Olsson

@Hanna Young its nothing muddy about it. Nordic is Swe, Fin, Nor, Den and Finland. (with Fareo island, Greenland and Åland) Scandinavia is Swe, Den and Nor. Scandinavian peninsula or Fenoscandia is geographical Swe, Nor, part of northern Fin and a very small part of Russia. Northern Europe includes the Baltics, Irland and UK. Even if Estonia wants to be part of the Nordics they are not. They have a place on the council of the Nordics but only as observers.

Hanna Young

2y↑1

But is also depend in which way we speak about it... because it can be Iceland, Faroe island, Åland, Finland.... and it can be only be Norway and Sweden. Honestly, it soo muddy... Why not call it Northern Europe? Oh yeah according to some travel shows we are not part of Europe . sigh

Manual network selection is crucial when travelling close to the russian border, otherwise your might be billed for roaming in Russia! Happens quite frequently at the Norwegian/Russian border.

John & Mandy

Wow.. I don’t think we travelled that close to Russia but a very valid point to make

Linda James

Lidl shopping is still adding to the local economy, isn’t it? Love Lidl. I spent a month in Sweden, I had to sell a vital organ to eat but loved the country and the people. Stunning.

Ant Hart

We’ve followed the whole trip and thought it looked incredible. Thanks a lot for showing the w3w locations too really helps.
Question I had was about diesel, I’m sure they put in some sort of additives to help with the cold/stop freezing. I’m guessing you’ve not found this to be a problem with your heater? Cheers guys 👍🏼

John & Mandy

We covered this in our last video about costs, they do add anti-waxing agents to the diesel but it’s not been a problem for our engine or diesel heater 👍🏻

Congratulations on some great videos My Wife and I have been travelling to Scandinavia since 1980 the last time in 2020 good points on the gravel roads there were less motorway miles when We first journeyed there, the general view(not Ours) was that Denmark was not classed as being in Scandinavia as it was not in the archipelago. many thanks.

A little sad that you removed my question about where you got the information about Swedish taxes. What you said could very well be interpreted as referring to what an individual pays in taxes.
I was just curious who said it or where you got the information from. The explanation you had is something that also exists in other countries and you rarely compare taxes in different countries without mentioning what you also added.

Now you have also removed the part in youtube where you take it up so that I cannot talk about what could be misinterpreted. I didn`t mean anything bad with it all, but wondered what you meant! Otherwise, I liked your story and journey!

Thanks Pam, he’s not that bad 😁😂

Miranda Janes

So much useful information 👍🍻 !! .... When you mentioned the lights it reminded me of my Mk 1 Escort back in the late 60s. I had 2 Cibie spotlights mounted on a bar which when on shone a sign up 1 mile away on particular road close to where I lived. And if anyone was foolish enough to not dip their lights then my spots would come on. They soon dipped theirs 😂

John & Mandy

Haha.. got to love a good set of lights 😂🙌🏻

Nice videos and sceneries. But you missed Jämtland ;-) Nordic ist the term (sw. Norden) i.e. DK, SE, NO, FI and IS, ”Scandinavia” is ”just” the paeninsula (NO+SE) and DK. Welcome back!

Peter Grant

Oh yes, I am Swedish and I have been to Jämtland and it is just gorgeous.. especially the area around the Kallsjön lake (have relatives there in "Kall") but all of it is wonderful.

I am from Västerbotten myself. Traveling from the coast to the mountains in Västerbotten I would prefer to go along the unexploited river Vindelälven rather than the hydro dammed Umeälven river.

Love Jämtland forever.

Do you have a blender on board? If so, make your own hummus. So easy and much better than the factory made stuff. You can even do it in Finland, which is not part of Scandinavia. :-)

Chris Carini

@John & Mandy fair enough. Yes, it all joins at the top end. My friends are from the south. 😀

Kristofer Olsson

@John & Mandy Northern Finland is part of Scandinavian Peninsula/Fenoscandia (geografical) but not Scandinavia (cultural). I dont blame you for missunderstanding it. Try to explain to Swedes that England and UK is not the same thing.

Peter G

@John & MandyI look supermarket online orders for delivery or in store pick up in Sweden they all had Hummus. A quick look in Kiruna you passed by both ICA Kvantum Kiruna and Stora Coop Kiruna had hummus. I looked at some smaller coop supermarkets in the inland northern part of Sweden with in-store pickup found hummus in all of them. I am surprised that you did not find hummus in the Coop stores you liked.

If you look at the website in Swedish supermarkets google translate in the browser it translated "handla" to "act" instead of "shop" It can mean both depending on the context and they selected incorrectly in this case. If "handla online" was used it was correctly translated to "shop online" You have to select the correct store to see what product that have, that part

Hummus is not something I purchase so I have never noticed if it is available in small stores and have no knowledge of the quality or anything else about it but the cost looks like 20-30 SEK (1.70-2.6 GBP) for 200-300 grams

John & Mandy

2y↑4

I have a small handheld one that wouldn’t be good enough for hummus I don’t think.. I do prefer to buy it purely because I always run out of tahini or use too much 😂 I did find some in Northern Finland though which apparently is in Scandinavia.. 😁🤷🏼‍♀️

@John & Mandy
It's pretty cool! I don't see them very often, I just see their footprints in the snow. 😜 This summer I had a fairly big bull moose surprise me when I came out of the garage though.

Michelle Clarke

@Amisa Thanks for that information, we will probably go in late Spring. We’re looking forward to it.

Amisa

It's preferably to come in the spring time or the summer time. At midsummer time the dawn takes place really late, then we have daylight almost all through the night. Now it's very dark, rainy and boring and if I wanted to travel now I would definitely choose to go south instead.

Perro dehont

I'm not sure when you mentioned flies but I think that you ment Knott (Simuliidae), tiny but with the attack capability of a pitbull. If I get stung by a mosquito it will itch for maybe half hour sometimes even 2 or 3 but when I get bitten (yes they bite instead of sticking) by a knott it will itch for a couple of days, well in my case it does.

John & Mandy

Are they like horse flies? They looked like mosquitos though

Reiselinda

You need a Thermacell for the mosquitos. 👍🏼

So in sweden about 45,000 animal related accidents happen on the roads every year, in wich 800 or so are badly hurt and 5 people are killed. I live in the north of sweden and we have alot of darkness during the winter so i have alot of auxilary lights on my car, it really is needed.

John & Mandy

We saw so many cars with them and saw how dark the road get - I bet it’s a dangerous drive

Great news...I love baked beans. Humus...not so much. 😁👍

Magne Fauli

If you have a motorhome between 3.5 and 7.5 tonns in Norway you can pay the toll valid for cars below 3.5 tonns if you register or have an autopass or easygo.

Magne Fauli

@John & Mandy You may not have passed any or not enough tolls on your route. I think the Norwegian toll system holds you bill untill you’ve accumulated 600 NOK in fees or untill there have been three months since you last passed a toll, whichever happens first.

John & Mandy

@Magne Fauli Ah the discount on the bridges would be a big bonus.. that’s good to know - thank you.. we still haven’t been “invoiced” for our toll road use yet though 😂

Magne Fauli

@John & Mandy Yes, you will still pay tolls in Norway, but you should be billed for the lowest rate. Vehicles over 3.5 tonnes in general pay 50 - 200 % more, but motor-homes are exempt from the extra fee, but then the system needs to know that the registration plate is attached to a motor-home. Hence the need to register heavier motor-homes in the toll register.

An autopass or an easygo could give you another 10-20% discount on Norwegian tolls as well as discounts on the Storebælt and Öresund bridges.

John & Mandy

Ours is under 3.5 tonnes and we registered for Epass24 - do we need to pay tolls if we’re under 3.5?

Denis Scott

Hi John and mandy 👍 just us 2saying hi and thanks again 👍 great update and information 👍 sue and den 👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🚌🚌🚌

John & Mandy

Thanks Guys 😁👍🏻

Kristofer Olsson

Lightbars are great if you buy a good brand like Lazer. Round lights are normaly little bit better but the difference is not like it was back in the days. You need to flood the light on the sides to see the moose, deer, raindeer and Wildboar running up on the road close to you. Also be careful putting 3 lights in the front. Sweden has acception from EU rules. Lots of countrys only allow 2 or 4 lights and they can also have system how bright it can be.

John & Mandy

Good to know, thank you

In Sweden, Lidle has hummus. The Irony. xD

John & Mandy

@Ellen Schäfer the Lidl one is my favourite, their oriental one is sooo addictive. I must have looked in about 8 different stores and found none in any of them - I thought they were hiding it from me 😂 Everywhere seems to store them in the same fridge section 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ellen Schäfer

@John & Mandy You might have looked in the wrong aisle, maybe they are stored different in the UK? In Sweden you mostly find them in the fresh stuff aisle, where you can find potato salad, bernaise sauce, aioli, fresh sauces and salads, stuff that needs to be kept cool. In all my years here in Sweden I never had the problem of not getting hummus. It's a miracle how you could NOT find it. The one at Lidls is actually quite good.

John & Mandy

Sadly not in all the stores we tried from south to north Sweden.

Buy some tahini and make your own Houmous. Usually better than shop bought and super simple to do. I'm sure that you a little blender that could sort it. FYI My bad is tyres are doing fine 🙃

Saying that Finland is part of Scandinavia is no more controversial than saying Scotland is a part of England (which it isn’t).

@John & Mandy I’m not criticizing you as individuals for not making the distinction, but the whole English-speaking world. In the same way that I criticize the non-English speaking world for frequently not distinguishing between England and the UK.

Tahini, lemon juice, garlic and chickpeas and a bit of salt. Hummus

John & Mandy

Yes, we know what it’s made of thanks 👍🏻 however no blender and none of the ingredients in the van means still no hummus for Mandy

Kristofer Olsson

In Sweden you can buy hummus in almost every store. Bought 1 pack 2 days ago at my local store.
I think you are mixing up Fenoscandia (Scandinavian Peninsula) and Scandinavia. Fenoscandia is Norway, Sweden, Northern Finland and a small part of Russia. (geografical area.) Scandinavia is a cultural area of Denmark, Sweden and Norway. You could almost think of it like UK is part of Europe but not EU. accept EU is economic and not cultural area.
If you want to Include Finland use the "Nordics" instead of Scandinavia. But to the Nordics you have Iceland, Faroe island and Åland to.

John & Mandy

@Kristofer Olsson We’re just stating our findings, it was a fun fact, we couldn’t find any in the stores we looked in

Kristofer Olsson

@John & Mandy Willys Has 9 different brands/style of Hummus. Coop has 5 brand/style. ICA has 10 brands/style. Lidl have atleast 2. City gross has 6 brands/style. This is what I can find localy in my small town. I dont know about the rest of Sweden but the stores normaly carry about the same stock. But if you go to a small store they will have space for less brands and may skip things that do not sell well.

Just a bit of information there is a global fuel crisis ,the average UK diesel price on 1st November was £1.48 Sweden £1.67 Norway £1,52 Finland £1.45 Denmark £1.40.So not massively more expensive
