Clear it a little "flatter" and you have the "Sk" in Skepplanda – Hm, Gepplanda

Lol, Being a town would make "Skepplanda" a sofa (they all are) but there's actually no such model (yet). Also IKEA is beginning to run short on Swedish words

Hehe, Nice phonetics there, Michael. Göteborg is an IKEA sofa though
