It's raining tennis players

That Roger Federer is a lean, mean tennis machine..and if he didn't have quite such a squashed face, he would be very good looking. He's Swiss. He is a Good Thing about Switzerland. Other Good Things are:

Mountains and mountain activity
St Bernards
Chocolate
Picturesque towns, lots of them
History of humanitarian concern

Bad Things now.

Bureaucracy
Squirreling away of Nazi Gold
Endless referenda
The fact that using individual washing machines in communal apartment blocks is frowned upon. The norm is this: there is a washing machine for everyone in the basement, and you are given a slot to use it by the concierge, e.g. 7-8pm Monday nights.
I wish I'd known about this before spending £224 on cloth nappies (and about the fact they leak alot and aren't as eco as all that apparently. I can't even ride my high horse in those grounds. The Chinese have the most eco nappy solution: cut a slit in the infant's pants and spend all day chasing it with a mop.)

Anyone know anything about car boot sales? We are thinking of selling at one, but don't know the form.
