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

[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?

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]
