Last Sunday, I was sitting in a pub garden and overheard a group of middle-aged Swiss discussing their holidays.

Austrians abroad, it seems, are quite nice, the Dutch are very annoying, the Germans are abominable, but the worst, the very worst of all, are the British!
I resisted getting up and punching someone on the nose. If they choose to visit mass-tourist-resorts, then that is their own fault.
I would guess that, wherever they had been on their holidays, the Swiss and Austrians were a minority, there had been a number of Dutch, a lot of Germans, but most of the tourists there had been young Brits.

The strength of numbers always seems to do something unpleasant to young people in holiday mood abroad. Alcohol flows copiously and people begin to behave over-conspicuously.
Things like that don't don't very often happen in Llandanwg or Gais, but they will in Bodrum or Agios Georgios.

On Monday a pamphlet landed in my letter box.

So that the Swiss may continue to celebrate the first of August (their national holiday) in 'peace and freedom', I was requested to sign a petition to banish foreign criminals from Switzerland. The news that Neo-Nazis had almost managed to have the official celebrations cancelled for fear of their violent protests, was seemingly forgotten!
I read on to find that Switzerland has the highest percentage of foreigners in the world. They forgot to mention that Berlin alone has over a third of the number of foreigners that the whole of Switzerland has - and that is just one German city.

Further, I was informed, 85% of Swiss imigrants are rapists, 66% are into blackmail, 55% go in for murder and the rest will resort to violence sooner or later.
I would hope that I have misinterpreted the statistics somewhere ...

When I asked my neighbour if he believed the statistics, he replied, that
'... of course he did!'.
I asked him if he locked his daughters up at night for fear that I might just get bored and decide to rape them?
'No, of course not, you're not a foreigner!'
I pointed to the Welsh flag flying above his head and he conceded
'Yes, but not that sort of foreigner!'

How many 'sorts' of foreigners are there then?

Just as a side note:
The pamphlet was distributed by the SVP (Swiss People's Party) the most powerful of the Swiss parties. This is the party that was not quite Nazi, but very sympathetic towards Mr. Hitler.
