Our fellow border Bergen lives in the 2nd most expensive country in the world. See the link below.
So Bergen what do you think about the article? Is it a true representation of what you see day to day?
Switzerland is named the world's most expensive country to live in

Not reading the article but it’s well known that Norway is expensive. But wages are also a lot higher, as is happiness and the state of their infrastructure and health care.

Hello from Bergen,
It is true I am afraid. Especially for tourists it is very expensive. But AW is right that wages are higher so for those of us who live here its not a big problem.
I also find it different from UK that the (high) price levels are pretty much the same all over Norway, while I have always found London much more expensive than the rest of the UK.

I was young!
I read about Orient in a football magazine called 90 minutes back in 1993 or 1994. I was fascinated and has followed the club as closely as I could ever since. Today its easy to keep up to date, but back then it was difficult to find enough information. Thankfully there was a guy called Martin P. Smith who was running something "Leyton Orient International Pen Pals" and he was very helpful.

Good to have you with us fella. You certainly seem to be a devoted O and bring a lot to the board with your reasoned informative comments.

I reckon Bergen is really a fourteen year old schoolgirl from Loughton.
She’s really well informed though!
