Sandwiched in between Austria and Switzerland like a bit of bratwurst flanked by pumpernickel, Liechtenstein is certainly a diminutive country. Clocking it at a weeny 67 square miles, Liechtenstein is so miniscule that you can drive through it in about ten minutes, which is the same as a long Smiths song, and about as enjoyable. The locals use Swiss money and   speak German and it basically is Switzerland, though its main industries are dental products and stamps for spoddy philatelists rather than cuckoo clocks and dodgy banks. Mind you, if Mrs Schmidt at Railway Cottage ever decided to dig out her frilly negligee, one of the country's major industries would suddenly be Sex Tourism. The capital, Vaduz, is so tiny that they roll up the pavements at nine each night. NB: this country should not be confused with Roy Lichtenstein, the pop artist, who was actually quite good. MP
