	You should always keep a distance of at least 5 cms between walls and the furniture. There otherwise is a heavy danger that the walls start moulding

I love your posts, Wolli.

Only in Switzerland, eh.

Only if you live in a slum.

Or a Swiss flat...

This. If you get wound up over plug design, better give up now....

	Yes, but in the UK you have a good, healthy 13 amps. In Switzerland the standard lights and sockets are 10 amps. From experience I can state that 10 amps is a mere tickle compared to the thwap of 13. I miss those 3 amps . My apple crusher, mill, and large braumeister won't work on 10.

Yes, but here houses are actually wired 3-phase, so you actually have 5x the power available for the same current!

Migros Do-it have a special on 1.5 m extension cord/multi-plugs (6) until the end of January.

50% off so now only CHF 7.45. Available in white and black. Comes with a small switch (see photo).

They are using the intelligent design (chargers do not block two slots).

Lol! No thx button when you need it! Few weeks ago one of the pins in 2-pin plug in our Migros's vacuum cleaner chipped off. Just being over optimistic about idea of finding lower prices on everything sold in neighbouring Germany... I decided to buy two pin plug there. It cost EU2 and it turned out later that the pins although same clearance as CH counterparts, they where much thicker. Later I found the exact plug that I needed for CHF1. Moral of the story if you decide to go Swiss never look for replacement elsewhere.
