While Anders Pjetursson (r)
listens
with a critical ear, Uncle Al packs virtually his entire Danish
vocabulary
into a short but very heart-felt thank you speech. This moment also
brought
home to me, how much extra work poor Anders had to do in the races of
this
DM tolerating Al's almost exclusive use of English although Al did
manage
some dansk from time to time such as Gammel Dansk, mærke,
øl,
styrbord, vin, o.s.v.
