Full Steaming Ahead

One man who could have done with a magic swally bus was the 78 year old Swede who tried to row his way home. From Denmark.

The septagenarian had seemingly spent all his money on swally, and was left without enough for the ferry. So he did what most would do in that situation - he took a dinghy and attempted to get home that way. His cunning plan crashed on the metaphorical rocks of him falling asleep halfway across, in the middle of a shipping lane.

He was recovered by harbour police, towed back to Denmark, given the fare for the ferry and not prosecuted for stealing the dinghy.

What is Swedish for That's the Swally?
