Swiss flag on power pylon

Ahead of tomorrow’s Euro match against England, a Swiss flag has appeared on top of an electricity pylon close to the A1 autoroute between Morges and Aubonne.

No one knows who placed it there, but it is assumed it had to be a worker for Romande Energie which looks after the cables. There is work going in in the area at the moment.

Local press is congratulating the person who’s responsible.

Switzerland play England tomorrow at 6pm – although there’s been much criticism of the recent performance of the England team, England remains favourite to win. 

Let’s hope the power flag makes all the difference.
