This week, I learnt perhaps the greatest fact I will ever learn. Of all the bits of useless knowledge I've gleaned from quizzes, Twitter, chat shows, and a bloke down the pub, this will forever be my favourite piece of trivia. Honestly, it will be hard to top this one. If I died tomorrow, I would do so with a smile on my face because I know that Sweden has an official Twitter account.
Yes, you read that right. The entire county of Sweden has a Twitter account. That, in itself, is amazing, but wait, it gets better. Not only is it on the social networking site, but its page is run by random citizens for a week each. What other tourist board would ever allow that? Certainly we can't expect a @northkorea feed any time soon.
What if the UK opted to start up something similar? Would the varied voices of our famously self-depreciating nation inspire a nuisance of tourists (or whatever the correct collective noun is) to come to our illustrious isles, or would it make them reconsider that holiday to Bedford? Now I'm not sure I know the answer, but I can very much imagine what our feed would look like...
