- Langlets Bevingade ord och slagord utgör än i dag en nöjsam läsning — inte minst på grund av de många numera fullkomligt obsoleta och bortglömda slagord från anno dazumal som den innehåller och som förlänar den en svåremotståndlig tidsstämning.
- Langlet's Winged Words and Slogans still makes for an enjoyable read today — not least because of the many now completely obsolete and forgotten slogans from long ago that it contains, which impart an irresistible sense of the time.

- Men inne på Nostalgicaféet i Tryde är det ändå alltid i grund och botten 50-tal, oavsett om det handlar om medicinaskarna i apoteksdisken, husvagnsinredningar från anno dazumal, eller de många bilar, mopeder och andra fordon som finns på olika håll runtom i det vindlande museet.
- But inside the Nostalgia Café in Tryde, it's always essentially the 1950s, whether it's about the medicine tins in the pharmacy counter, caravan interiors from way back, or the many cars, mopeds, and other vehicles found in various places around the winding museum.

- På sociala medier ser man ofta efterlysningar av det slaget: här är en bild från ett bröllop anno dazumal, men vilka är det som gifter sig?
- On social media, one often sees inquiries of this kind: here is a picture from a wedding in days of yore, but who are the people getting married?
