I've heard that Switzerland is quite civilised. Must be all that Nazi gold

It could be just that the Swiss are hardworking and have low taxation
and haven't wasted their assets on wars for about 400 years.


Incidentally (well, for this thread in any case) I got two really quite
decent solar LED garden lights from Wilkinsons yesterday for £8. Now THAT'S
what I call civilised!

Made by slave child labour in the third world. You suffer from double
standards or what? You'll be telling us how cheap stuff is in IKEA
next.
