peer agreement (net): +1hyttsill (herring eaten at the glass works) Explanation: This is an old tradition from the 19th century. In the evening, the workers met at the glass works, "glasshyttan", to eat herring, "sill", and potatoes. I would recommend to keep the Swedish name and write an explanation i parenthesis. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 41 mins (2006-09-19 18:20:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Ref: "Hyttsill.
