Totally agree!

and it gets worse:

"Switzerland's cities are grubby"
- total bull as SMA pointed out, although there are bizzare ammounts of graffitti in swiss towns. Not exactly dirt in my book though

"its trains run late"
- occasionally ive seen the ole SBB running late. like 3 minutes late FFS. Maybe this dude tried to get the Cisalpino, which would probably cause upset to Swiss rail if it ever ran on time!

"its highways are always under repair"
- true, most roads seem to be under repair. I would be more worried about no repairs

"and its politicians often seem provincial"
- was there a time when swiss politics wasnt??
