The picture I posted is from 2015 when he just formally retired because of health issues and we celebrated my inauguration as his successor. Obviously, I never came close to replacing him, but I really felt his support and the memory of the joint celebration still means a lot to me.

One of the amazing things Bertil did was to tell you the date he could review a paper a month in advance, and if you would send him the paper on that day, you had an incredibly insightful report the day after. It should be possible for al of us, but somehow only he could do it.

The most remarkable aspect of this, in particular in these times, is that the decision was accepted on the Swedish side (despite nationalist idiots protesting loudly), and the two countries lived happily ever after side-by-side as best friends forever without remorse on either side.

Ja precis, men poängen är att avgiften, förutom att vara låg vilket gör stt det är en bra bas om vi måste höja intäkterna, är regressiv i sin konstruktion - de med dyrare hus betalar en lägre procentuell avgift.
