Last stop before the Euros 11:37am on 28 May 2008 It's Basel, NOT Basle.

Basel is a German-speaking city, and thus should be referred to in the mother-tongue of its natives.

Having lived near Basel last year, it was incredibly irritating when anyone from back home asked me about Baaaaaaaal. The correct pronounciation is Bar-sul.

One amusing thing to be found in Switzerland is the name of the stadium in Bern - makes me chuckle every time!
