I'm not allowed to be happy. Something to do with the football and having a deadend job.

And everyone smiling at you, saying in Finnish 'Cheer up, it will never happen!'?

Dear Sane,

They also have very civilised shopping hours.

Most shops are open until 6 pm or 8 pm on weekdays and close between 3 pm and 6 pm on Saturdays. Some are open until 6 pm on Sundays, while others are closed.

Bigger supermarkets are open until 9 pm and smaller ones until 11 pm on weekdays, and 6 pm and 11 pm on weekends, respectively. Exceptions occur on public holidays, bank holidays etc.

That's old, since last year shops are allowed to be open 24/7, though few do.

Well, as Gonners said, "very civilised shopping hours".
