Update 10 March 09:15 CNN runs a late-breaking story about seven tourists who are missing in Thailand after their boat sank in heavy seas off Phuket, a popular resort. Two of them are Swiss (TSR confirms this). Or they are if you read the article. The bulleted sub-headings mention two Swedes, not Swiss.
Well, it’s a classic mistake: cold, snow, Sw– something countries on the fringes of European politics. If someone slipped Sweden onto Nicolas Sarkozy’s tax havens black list, would anyone notice except those other Sw– people?
