Useful comment on Accor Hotels - I usually use them anyway.

Thanks FB. Care to elaborate on "The biggest hold up was always getting back into the UK."?

Charlie - many thanks

[It loaded before I could put any text in it!] We're soon to get a dog.  Eventually we intend to drive down with it to Italy for longish holidays.  Normally, when driving down, we go through Switzerland Has anyone driven through Switzerland with a dog? If so -  are there any special requirements/pitfalls/tips for getting through Switzerland? [I know all about pet passports, rabies Jabs etc etc, so would appreciate details of first hand experiences] Many thanks,

"............. But there's also an untapped area where water springs up from the ground and lies in a big puddle ..........." It could just be a leaking water pipe

You could try 'dowsing' - most people can do it to some extent or another  [When I was working, i had used it a few times to trace drains [with water flowing in them] see;-  http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/?ie=UTF8&keywords=dowsing+rods&tag=googhydr-21&index=aps&hvadid=8915508873&hvpos=1t1&hvexid=&hvnetw=s&hvrand=9877614261304878370&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=b&ref=pd_sl_9jdopjrqu2_b

Have now watched the programme -  initial thought was that its message was depressing, but not unexpected.

"......... the added benefit of electro magnetic radiation fields which can be damaging to health ........" A common urban myth - otherwise electric train drivers would all be dead early as they spend all their working lives about 10 feet below 25kV power lines. EMF/EMI 'forces' from Power lines are [measured at ground level] much lower than the output from many houshold appliances And I would hate to see power lines crossing the countryside [but don't know what the economical alternatives are]
