Like your comment about rye bread. My favorite topping is pickled herring, and that must be a common one in Greenland. Some onion, maybe sour cream.. My best friend is from Denmark, and on Christmas there is also eel, and pate.

Your grandparents, Gini and Bob, are friends, so of course I’m blessed. I did read your earlier Blog from Greenland, when in one entry you told us your grandmother sent you a letter every week, no matter where you were.

She is remarkable, isn’t she? And Bob is as well, although I think Gini is carrying a heavy load right now. You don’t seem to be checking this cite, so perhaps I’ve shared this for nought.

Point taken on Bjork – but she might unpredictable in a public relations context

I would go for Bjork for Iceland (even though she’s more of a Londoner these days), but I’m biased and she might make distort the image of the country somewhat. Still, I think most people asked to name a famous person from Iceland would name her.

London has too many, and different areas have different images and thus different mascots. e.g. Camden has Amy Winehouse (RIP), Brixton is the birthplace of David Bowie but has wider musical links, perhaps most notably with Eddy Grant’s “Electric Avenue”. The Mighty Boosh seem quite obsessed with Stoke Newington and cockney East London, but also Camden, and also Polos so they’re a bit all over the place really.
