Old Town the original Swindon developed slowly & modestly throughout the medieval period on a hill some 450 feet above sea level. By the middle of the nineteenth century it was still a small country town. Almost every worker was employed in some form of agriculture or as a servant to the gentry who were beginning to build their villas a decent distance from the low thatched cottages & the traders premises at its centre.

FINANCIAL TIMES BOOK OF THE YEAR One country four languages 26 cantons & 7.5 million people (but only 80% of them Swiss): there's nowhere else in Europe like it. Switzerland may be almost 400 km from the nearest drop of seawater but it is an island at the centre of Europe. Welcome to the landlocked isl&. Switzerland is the country that not only gave us triangular chocolate & holey cheese but also the world's first Toilet Duck (1980) & Velcro (1955). A country famous for its punctual trains & strict neutrality
- but what lies behind these stereotypes? What does Switzerland look like from the inside? Swiss Watching is a revealing historical journey around Europe's most individual & misunderstood country. From seeking Heidi & finding the best chocolate to reliving a bloody past & exploring an uncertain future Swiss Watching proves that there's more to Switzerland than banks & skis francs & cheese. In the land of cultural contradictions this is a picture of the real & normally unseen Switzerland a place where the breathtaking scenery shaped a nation not just a tour itinerary & where tradition is as important as innovation. It's also the story of its people who have more power than their politicians but can't speak to one another in the same language

Dont Think. Dont Question. Just Do. The anonymous note wasnt for me. Dont get me wrong Im not in the habit of reading other peoples mail but it was just a piece of paper with a few lines scrawled on it clearly meant for the apartment upstairs. It looked so innocent... It was not. Before the notes if a man had told me what to do Id have told him where to go. But theres something freeing about doing someones bidding. In fact the more I surrender the more powerful I feel. Its time to switch the roles... Were playing by my rules now. ...
