Re: [OM] Switzerland [was: Donald. (Duck)]

[Bill Pearce]

When I worked for the airplane factory, we never got to shoot advertising 
photos, no matter what they were. It was always frustrating because although 
a great photographer at the top of his game, the guy they hired charged very 
high prices, and was given days to shoot a single image. There was no way we 
were ever allowed that amount of time, and they wouldn't buy us enough 
lighting equipment to do it anyway. We always said, "A prophet is without 
honor in his own home."

We have a saying like 'what you get from far away must be good'.

No surprise then for Heineken being a premium brand everywhere, except in
The Netherlands where they originated...
