Only 13% of the Alps are in Switzerland.
Switzerland’s entire population can fit in its nuclear shelters.
Animals in Switzerland have rights, and laws stating that social animals must be kept in pairs.
All the major entry points to Switzerland (like tunnels and bridges) are wired to explode at the first sign of a foreign invasion.
You’ll find palm trees and other tropical species in the warmer southern Alpine regions, like the palm-lined lakes of Ticino.
Their four national languages are French (20.4%), German (64%), Italian (6.5%), and Romansh (just a little over 1%). So you can feel comfortable as a foreign visitor or resident since it’s perfectly acceptable to not understand what someone says to you because the Swiss don’t understand the Swiss anyway.
When Calvinists banned jewelry from use in 1541, goldsmiths and jewelers in Geneva brainstormed the invention of watches, since a functional timepiece was acceptable. Since then, it has proven to be one of the most successful industries of the country, reaching the present status as Switzerland’s fourth-largest exporter.
The Niesenbahn Funicular Railway, Spiez, Switzerland has 11,674 steps and a height of 1,669 m (5,476 ft) which makes it the world’s longest stairs. It is not open to the public, but there is a public run once a year.
Sundays in Switzerland mean no mowing the lawn, no laundry hanging outside, no hammering, or anything that neighbors can hear, see or overall disturb the peace. It is frowned upon to work on Sundays.
Other than the Vatican, the Swiss flag is the only square flag for a nation state.
Swiss Army knives are made in Germany.

Kinda disgusting the national team is now behind a Sky paywall. I remember when every England game was on ITV or BBC, even friendlies, and it should still be that way.
Just remembered why I never usually watch England friendlies……..
it’s like watching city, not good at all….

We have a lot of possession at home, we just don’t know what to do with it. Against Coventry, we didn’t have loads of possession, but we were dangerous on the counter and got two good goals.
We had 36% possession against Coventry and 60% against Luton. We looked more dangerous and better on the ball against Cov.
Oddly enough now watching great railway journeys of the world and it's the glacier express in Switzerland. Zermat to St Moritz
