Ja... ach... ließ einfach meine Notiz dazu
When I randomly ran into a Stadium (
which is a sports shop, NOT an actual stadium) in Stockholm on Tuesday I saw that they had the CURRENT Sweden Jersey in a commercial for just 299SEK (
which you APPROXIMATELY need to divide by 10 to get ).
I RACED into the shop to get one to discover they only had three of them left... in kids' sizes...
Damn it.
I sent one of the stuff down to the storage room to see if he could find any more. He coudn't. Sold out.
So I started running into every stadium I could find in Stockholm (
and there is a LOT of them) to discover that EVERY stadium had exactly three kids' jerseys left. So in EVERY stadium I sent the staff into the storage room and they always stayed there for quiet a while. They either looked very thoroughly or they just took a coffee break an giggled over the idea of me wanting to buy a Sweden-Jersey to then tell me they were sold out... I can almost picture the latter...
I think they just put those three kids' jersey in every stadium and then call each other every time someone wants to buy them and then they have a good laugh.
So I had to give up on Stockholm and next day tried the Stadium Falun.
Guess what I found? Right, three kids' jerseys...
Come on, Swedish people, as if I would not recognize that...
I almost left but actually asked the staff one more time. So he went into the storage room and did not return for like 15 minutes.
I think he had a coffee and then called Stockholm and they told him:
Yes, she has been to 3742 Stadiums here, goddamnit give her one now...
So he came back with a STACK of jerseys from over the past few years and had TWO of the new ones left. I grabbed one, babbled a quick thank you, almost cried and ran to the counter, where the staff found out that I was actually not Swedish while asking if I wanted to go to a match.
He was shocked that I
1. Was German but supporting Sweden
2. Did not plan to go to a match in the near future but wanting a jersey anyway
3. Had raced through whole Stockholm for it
4. Just wanted to add this as number 9 to my Sweden-Jersey collection
Was it just because he thought that this was all very funny that he finally said: 150 please. :eek:
I was just about asking him if he was joking when I gave him the 150SEK and jumped out of the shop before he could change his mind.
