    A contrived dance, quite dry and seems to star a Police force

    That seems about right. I spent many years there as a child and my dad still lives there - he is considered funny. On the plus side, great food, amazing scenery, low crime and a fantastic train service.

    That's verging on Anarchy for Switzerland, high jinx indeed.

    That's why our crime rate is so low. :)

    Don't know about that dance, but HR Giger and Celtic Frost were Swiss, so never seemed boring to me.

    Try entering "Jerusalema" in YouTube search. Scroll down, and down, and down . . . . . . . . . .

    Countless videos, millions of views, not bad for a "contrived dance"

    Where have you guys been? :)

    This is a video by the Swiss police showing that they are doing their bit for the environment by making sure that all fag ends are properly stubbed out. The thermal camera at one point helps make the burning cigarettes easier to spot. And they have enlisted some cool dude to sing the company work song whilst they work.

    Next up, this group of industrious creatures who like to clean up said fag ends: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_tlI-m8MXI

    in the UK now there never enough police in one place at any time to do anything similar , cant remember the last time i saw a beat bobby - our area seems to be run by PCSO's (aka poundland cops)

    Well, it is all over the world.
    You sound a bit grumpy. Maybe you should try it.

    Aye, well we've got war, poverty, injustice and environmental disasters all over the world too.

    That's the human race for you.

    P.S. I'd recommend Raclette though, if you've never tried it.
