There is going to be a stupendous amount of name dropping in this column. But as I once said to Obama, is it really name dropping if they are people you know? I’m in Copenhagen, where everyone seems really happy. I reflect on this to someone. ‘We are very happy,’ she affirms, ‘because everything works and there’s nothing to worry about.’ What must that be like?
In almost every supermarket/newsagent, there are dispensers of something called Simply Chocolate. The first time I saw them, in Irma, a small chain of supermarkets (not as omnipresent as 7-Elevens and Joe the Juices, which were everywhere), I really fancied a Creamy Carol (who wouldn’t?), which is dark chocolate and caramel. But that had sold out.
