Tough choice indeed, though with the rain we've had the last couple of weeks the local rivers are flowing way too fast for swimming at the moment.

As a side note, it amuses me that the English media always use the French rather than German name for Swiss place names. Bern is a German speaking area (and from a contracting point of view they are more keen than anywhere else I've come across that you do speak German).

I like the dumpster idea.

What's the betting it makes it's way over to London next year - skip swimming anyone?
