"You know what the fellow said—in Italy for thirty years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed, but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love, they had five hundred years of democracy and peace—and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."
A great quote though
Absolutely.
I love quotations like that so thanks for posting it.

It' s the Germans that make Cuckoo clocks, not the Swiss
So 'watching' means the same thing as 'making' does it? Thanks for the English lesson.
Where on earth do you get the idea that the Swiss 'watch Cuckoo clocks' ? They have very little interest in them. Expensive watches, yes.
Jesus the pair of you are a bit thick. The Swiss just love Swiss Rolls and purple chocolate producing cows.
Don't forget ABBA!
