For the non Scandinavians:
Denmark is an old trade nation. When you do business with them, some innocent paragraphs in the contract usually end up with them earning lots more. And they think that is a bit too funny.
At least, that is how the rest of the Nordic countries tend see them.
Also, they are too friendly and too often in a good mood. Weird people, especially my relatives down there. They could almost be called "normal Europeans", or something. Probably get too much sun in the winter.
(Most wars in Europe between two countries weren't France/England, it was Denmark/Sweden. Norway used to fight with the Danes. No one likes the Swedes, not even themselves.)
Edit: I might add that the oil could probably have happened to nicer people, but the Norwegians really deserved a break after a hard history with bad farming and bad neighbours. :-)
Edit 2: Sorry for chatting about irrelevant subjects on HN. Down votes are humbly accepted.
