Gubbdagis in Sweden



"Dagis" in Swedish is short for daycare centre,
and will in other countries probably correspond
to Kindergarten.
"Gubbe" is Swedish for an old man, mostly
used in an affectionate way.

So here, in a little red fishing shed along
the Swedish west coast, some elderly
gentlemen must have decided to call their
private meeting place "Gubbdagis" -
kindergarten for old men.
That is at least what I think.
It brought a smile to my face.
