What do Danes really think about the Swedes?

Swedes all eat meatballs and love Abba. This is the kind of thing you'd likely hear if you ask a foreigner what they know about Swedish people. But if you ask someone closer to home, a Dane for example, you're more likely to get a more reasoned answer.

And who better to sound off about Swedes than people from Denmark, a country that that has fought 11 wars with Sweden over the past 500 years (and let's not forget there's been peace for the last 200).

Crossing the bridge for a sunny weekend, The Local took the chance to ask Danes what they thought about Swedes. And some of the answers were quite surprising.
