I have to give a short answer to Valerie's question: Yes, I do really have my pin codes etc. written in sw on on nice little card put where the photos etc. usually go. I have the sign for what it's for first, and the the numbers, and as there are eight different codes on the list, and the Norwegian SL numbering system is not altogether obvious, I feel safe this way. I even often show it off ot the gas station manager or whomever, and say "I have it right here, but you cannot read it, can you?!". So I get some fun out of it. But of course, our aim is that this way of writng SLs, and the knoledge of the Sls themselves, shall be so widespread that this is no longer safe.
