Ingen ko på isen - There’s no cow on the ice ... but perhaps a new Great Copenhagen

No cow on the ice simply means - no reason to hurry up.

Somehow it seems a good idea, but to call a part of a country the name of a capital in another country seems strange.

[...]
In Skåne however, reception of the idea of Greater Copenhagen has been lukewarm. I spoke to a good friend who lives there and she says the people of Skåne don’t really care; they have wanted to be their own country for decades. The fact that Denmark wants to impose itself on the area in one way or another is hardly a new occurrence – Skåne was under Danish rule longer than it has been under Swedish.

Having scanned Swedish newspapers for news on this, I don’t think that too many people actually have very strong feelings on the matter. Including southern Sweden under the umbrella of Greater Copenhagen might be a good marketing strategy internationally and it might pull some focus from Stockholm, which can only be a good thing.

Just remember when you plan your Copenhagen trip that if you want to be down with the locals, you call it “Öresund” and that Skåne, the part on the other side of the bridge that the tourist information wants to call Greater Copenhagen, is Swedish, not Danish. You’re not having it back that easily, Denmark!
