I’m sorry, you’re right. Swiss banks. I must have had a brain freeze.

Welcome johnny T, there are plenty of us rasslin’ fans here on the boards 
Didn’t you guess??
Boomhauser Bill is that you or you jis kin a ol’ Bill’s ?
AND THE BLEEDING WATNEY’S RED BARREL!!!
Swiss, Swedish it’s all the same isn’t it? This in no way backs up my previous post …
Yeah, and California and Carolina are pretty much the same, so the names should be used interchangeably.
Er … you have read my previous post about Sweden/Switzerland haven’t you? I’m just not sure what your point actually is.
sarcasm perhaps?
I’m sorry. I realize, upon reading you post, that J248974 was the one who made the mistake, not you.

Well, to be sure, the two have similar-sounding names, a tradition of neutrality, an association to winter sports, a Germanic language speaking majority, and don’t appear too frequently in the news, but still…
Well, let’s be constructive here. To prevent further mishaps, it’s…

Err, no, you’ve mucked up your coding here. I never said that actually.
Now look, calling my post masturbatory, unfair, snippy, flippant, nationalistic (although given that I mentioned no nation, I’m not sure how you could) I could cope with. But putting me in the same category as J248974? Now that hurts.
I agree, which is why I also said in my previous post that I thought you had a point. (BTW, I’m not sure that Greater Manchester or Merseyside are counties.)
In any event, this is in danger of turning into Private Eye’s Dumb Britain.

“Merseyside” means the metropolitan county of Merseyside, and
You live and learn. I never knew there was any such thing as a metropolitan county, and I stand corrected. I come from the other side of the Pennines, where AFAIK we only ever had county and city councils.
Yeah, well, it was kinda of a bad day. Sorry bout that.
