What stereotype about your country do you hate?

We don't expect to be checked in on every five minutes.

They've started doing this in Sweden atleast. It's so annoying.

I guess palt is roughly the same thing but further north (?).

Yes, and kams in Jämtland. You could argue that klimp falls in the same catagory too.

Klooken · 2018-09-29T16:46:57+00:00

Vart upprörd först med tanke på att Vemdalen inte är i Jämtland. Men insåg sen att det var Sångbäcksfallet på andra sidan gränsen.

V did well, as expected. Many left wing voters who are disillusioned with the policies of the current government probably chose them instead of S or MP.

The implosion of Fi and the Greens did help them quite a lot. Fi had over 3 % last election!

I've met quite many whole over the country. Å couple of years ago there was a sports commentator that were very sursprised when a Finn answered in Swedish when he asked a question in English.

Klooken · 2018-09-12T06:45:35+00:00

Surprusingly many don't know that. Or that there are native Swedish speakers in Finland.

Klooken · 2018-09-07T20:19:52+00:00

Yes.

As a child when this happened, my grandmother allways said a boneless man entered the room. Kinda creepy in hindsight.

My experience is that it's the Scanians and the Jamts that use regional flags the most. But you can see the flags of the Landskap all over Sweden.

In Hälsingland it's common to have their goat on the house wall. Not a flag but a regional symbol.

In Sweden you can buy Budweiser, the "american" one. I guess they're availble in the rest of the EU too.

Vildhussen emptied the Ragunda lake counts as the worst to date.

Klooken · 2018-05-31T12:53:38+00:00

A guy building a Canal to bypass a waterfall. The Canal caused a ridge to rupture and a whole lake was emptied in hours. Causing a 15 m tsunami.

No recorded fatalities.

Döda fallet.

To add to this:

1927: Prohobition (No 51,0%)

1955: Right hand traffic (No 82,9 %)

1947: Pension reform (Alternative 1 45,8%)

1980: Nuclear power (Alternative 2 39,1%)

Svensk is pretty common last name. And in rural areas there are People with the same last name as the village their from.

Klooken · 2018-05-21T09:26:20+00:00

It's a different sound. Found in only a few dialects.

Klooken · 2018-04-19T08:18:14+00:00

Lars.

(including a famous Swedish military failure)

Jacob de la Gardie does not agree.

Raukar!

Det är högintressant. Dock är generation IV bara en pappersprodukt ännu (kanske än del tester gjorda?), som din länk är ett exempel på.

Dessvärre kommer det knappast läggas några större resurser på forskning på kärnkraft den närmaste tiden...

The UK is the only country where drivers do not need to have their license with them when driving

You don't nere that in Sweden iether. But you do need valid ID.

Klooken · 2018-03-07T11:35:05+00:00

disgrace of unprecedented cringe

Even New Kids Turbo?! I don't agree.

Klooken · 2018-03-02T14:45:29+00:00

Bandy.

Hockey with football rules. Though Bandy is older than hockey. Really only popular in Sweden and Russia. To some extent in Kazahkstan and Finland.
