Ingela Österlund
"Ingela is a person who is usually happy and in a good mood. She loves to sing and is sometimes torturing both pupils and colleagues with her so called singing. Having lived in England for five years she is very aware of how all the doors over there go the wrong way and she is blessfully thankful for Swedish practical thinking. Apart from singing she also likes to spend time with her good friends, she loves a good book and doesn't want to build any houses at all."
