Funny signage
I was in Copenhagen last week and met my cousin and her new baby in a cafe at the main train station. There are a lot of casual passersby who probably are looking for a free money changing service (can you split a 100 for tens, that kind of thing), given that it's a major transport hub, so I can see why they would have a sign saying 'vi veksle ikke', which means 'We don't make change' in Danish. But underneath, in English, they had written it as 'We don't change'! It's nice to have some constancy in your life, and if you need to get it from a shawarma bar, then so be it. Although, as my cousin said, it could also be interpreted to mean that they don't change diapers - something that we didn't put to the test!
