grassy arse.
going to revert to normal format if nobody minds and ask a mickey mouse question.
mickey mouse is called something that sounds like "mickey mouse" in every country but two. one is sweden where he is called musse pigg, which is the other?

I've absolutely no idea, but I'm going to guess Russia (would he be called Mikhail Mousecovite?)
..
by the way, I'm not sure if this is just a Scottish thing, but would you use the word Mickey Mouse to desribe something that is worthless?? e.g. the Worthington Cup is a Mickey Mouse cup?

Would it be Ireland then, cos a Mick is a slang term for an Irish person?
(actually, the more I think about that, the more absurd it sounds. Especially since I use dto live there).

Mikhail Mouse?
Right. I don't want to have to cut and paste a list of every country in the world again, but by golly I will if I have to.
Next guess: Japan.

Nope. I can't.
I thought you were posing additional questions where I had to guess the names of cartoon characters in languages I don't speak.
Next guess: Cuba.

in cuba he is called el raton mickey but the logic is about right
