I've suspected this for some time now but after the following items cropped up in the news in the last couple of days, I am now comvinced.
1. On the very day that a european report labelled the UK as one of the worst countries in europe for saving energy it is announced that Buckingham palace is to be floodlit at night for the remainder of QE2's reign.
2. An artist was paid £12,000 (funded by public money) to put on an exhibition in Cardiff. What did he exhibit? Well........ nothing actually!
He just opened an empty gallery where visitors were invited to 'experience the space' and re-discover works of art they had seen elsewhere by imagining them in the room.
3. From 'The Sunday Telegraph'
A GP surgery has updated its technology. After visiting for blood tests a patient was told to ring for the results the following week between 11.0am and noon. As he was passing the surgery at that time, he popped in and asked for the results. "Sorry," said the receptionist, "but you must telephone for test results." "But I was passing, so I'm here." "Sorry, you must 'phone in." The patient stepped back, took out his mobile 'phone and called the surgery. The same receptionist answered, asked his name and the nature of his enquiry. Then she gave him the results and replaced the receiver.😕

Originally posted by Rene-ClaudeRene-Claude, you must have woken up on the wrong side of the bed. If you want to play games then tell us how much stash is hiding in Swiss Bank accounts? Of that figure how much has been kept there by dictators and criminals?

As to your question, how should I know?

If you wanted to go on some sort of "crusade" , tell us how much stash is hiding in Swiss bank accounts. You can just go to one, knock on the door and they will tell you.
Originally posted by GreyPilgrimI can see the parallel. Manet said people who objected to his Dejeuner sur l'herbe should imagine clothes on the woman's body...or so I'm told.
At the risk of being called a philistine / moron / cretin etc etc etc, I've always drawn a kind of parallel between modern art and the story of the Emperors New Clothes

The post wasn't meant to be useful, it was meant to be humerous but clearly you do not have a sense of humour.
Switzerland is much too far away for me to go, perhaps you could go and get the answer to your own question.
