eightblack shame you don't have a Euro credit card to put the alarmingly expensive tat, sorry merchandise, on. I'm guessing my EUR credit card bill will look smaller in CHF in January than it does today

Thank you for the great laugh eightblack and to yahillwe for posting a link without which I may not have noticed this thread as I don't often visit the TR forum.

As much as I love FT, this is worthy of publishing in the New Yorker.
