Oh! Yes! Very sharp garinda! In any case they do have the Internet in Finland so your suggestion wouldn’t bear any fruit. Not that I would go to Finland. Too cold for me.

According to what I have just heard on the wireless the Fins do not suffer from SAD and they can go for months in twilight.

To the best of my knowledge I have never suffered from SAD. During the first 18 months of my working life down a pit (Scaitcliffe after training at Bank Hall, Burnley) I never saw daylight let alone the sun for five days a week during the winter months. It was almost the same story during a period in the navy up in the north Atlantic. It was too cold and dangerous to go up on deck so it was weeks on end down below. I didn’t notice anyone cracking up or being miserable.

May this SAD thing isn’t so much the lack of sunlight but the dreary life some people lead because they are so down trodden that makes them miserable?
