Norway is an incredible country. I had the good fortune to travel there for work before kids and we stayed a few days in Oslo, then flew to Stavanger and did a trip down the fjords. One of the most amazing experiences of my life. The fjords are incredible and I want to go back one day and take my OH and kids. It is expensive there but so is all of Scandinavia.
Hi - I lived in Norway for many years and the expensive image it has really only applies if you smoke and drink heavily :)) It's one of THE most amazing child friendly places and people there are incredible. Bergen is stunning and you can get direct flights from Gatwick for a great price. Trondheim and Stavanger also highly recommended. Once there, the train system is the best and cheapest way to travel. You can get standby on internal flights too and seat are regularly available. It's the cosiest most wonderful place. Go! X
I've spent a lot of time in Tromso in the last 4/5 years and most recently travelled there with my then 7 year old and 5 year old - happy to tell you about it if you have any questions. We had a wonderful time although that was a winter trip so v different experience to summer (which I would also love to do - beautiful place). PM me if there's anything you'd like to know.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
