Ah! Thank you. Nothing much, I don't think but I can't work out the guy's response

I'd been exchanging mails with a bloke at a customer in Sweden, about a delivery we're sending them, and then I was passed on to someone else who asked me something like:

"Can you tell me when the delivery will arrive? And can you tell me the individual weights of the pallets? Can we unload by crane or must we use a forklift?"

So I said:

"I've asked the forwarders to contact you with an arrival time. The dims are (etc) and the weights are 445kg, 400kg, 1200kg and 200kg. You can offload any with a forklift but for pallet 3 you'll need fork extensions - but you can use a crane for all of them (as long as you have the correct attachments, which I'm sure you do)."

And then I added: But you're all Swedish - I'm sure you can lift all these things without machinery! :o).

To which he replied:

"Yes, we are all Swedish. can you tell me when the goods will arrive?"

So I can't tell if a) he's very dry b) he didn't think it was funny c) he's mightily pissed off at me.

Have to say I'm not all that bothered, but i am definitely curious.................?
