In an e mail to my dad who lives in Switzerland I bemoaned the fact that my new washing machine had broken down. He was quick to reply that I should have bought a Swiss machine, they are much more honest he said because they don't steal socks but, he went on, if you are unfortunate enough to lose a sock check out this website http://www.funbureau[.]com/ . I did and sure enough it is the Bureau of Missing Socks. Gen
