Gun ownership. Having one of the more confusing country symbols (because the country name isn't actually Switzerland...)

Right. So other than cuckoo clocks, chocolate, banks, swiss rolls, gun ownership and watches, what have the Swiss done for us??

Valium. The Swiss make diazepam.

Prior to 1973, when nz got dumped on by ted Heath, and their passports had New Zealand citizen, British subject, on the front, New Zealand's entire export economy was based on farm products for Britain, so much so that it was referred to as britain's offshore farm. I see no reason why they wouldn't want some of that trade back again now we're out. But do feel free to sneer - it all adds to the entertainment value here.

So all we need is Canada and Australia to open free trade with Britain and it'll be just like oul times. Not forgetting Jamaica and Trinidad. Oh and probably Ceylon and Rhodesia as well. Maybe the Chinese will give Hong Kong back, too.
