  1. He was commentating on the Tour of Romandy. Got onto the subject of level crossings and how races
    often got stopped by trains. Mentioned how the trains always run on time in Switzerland because of
    the clocks. In fact "the clocks are so good, you could set your watch by them."

    Now that could take some beating.

    This is not strictly a Duffism but........

    Personally we hate when he says "The *Spanish/French/ Germans etc* Love their cycling- Go into any
    *Spanish/French/German* Bar and you can watch it with the locals etc". We've tried going in many
    Spanish Bars during the Vuelta and have to ask to watch the cycling- unless its a town that the race
    goes through then, most haven't a clue there is a race taking place!! Good example of not knowing
    whats happening..... a few years ago we went into the Tourist office in Plaza Mayor, Madrid to find
    out where the final stage started from.... no idea..they phoned someone... no sorry can't help. so
    we left and managed to find the finish, where we watched the stage from the next day. When watching
    the hi lights on TV , guesss where the stage started from??? Yep . right outside their office.
