I thought sweden didnt have an army because they didnt go to war, or was that switzerland?
whats 50kr in pounds?

They both have an army, interestingly in Switzerland only about 5% of the army is professional, the other 95% are most of the male population of the country, called upon when needed and keep all their personal kit at home, including their weapons!

50 kr is about £4.50. You really should learn to use google better LOL

This gives a bit more info and says most of them were white, but in my perusing on the net, the only other white one I've seen is on the page CTC gave.

My take on it, is that obviously the white ones were made for snow camouflage, Sweden gets alot of snow I believe, but not more than 50% of the year, so I would doubt that the white ones were more common than the other colours.

It looks great alfie, look how it has brought the mirror and art alive. . And that cupboard door i love has come into its own too!

I have been painting my sitting room too, last weekend. I hope to get it finished soon, but had to bring all the furniture back into place for the week. My sitting room was peach, whoch initself i do not mind as a colour, but its now a lovely glassy greeny blue and it feels younger and lighter and calmer and generally very glad we decided to just get on and do something.

I have been obcessing about not doing thins twice. Now i just want them done. Two years and we were still living in someone else's sitting room.
