Aren't Swedish views worse? My Norwegian grandfather said: 99 Swedes Ran through the weeds Chased by one Norwegian

Norwegians, Swedes and Danes are always bickering, but if someone from outside interferes, we stand together. The "story" of the 99 Swedes may have its origins in 1814 when Sweden (allegedly) wanted to invade Norway, but we ended up with a union (which lasted until 1905).

It is a very nice and neat and tiny parade, as you might expect from our countrymen. A random man gave me a random Norwegian flag to wave around like the idiot I am.
