Re: Another "Is 125k enough to live on in Basel?" thread

Seriously. There are enough threads asking about can I live in such and such a town on such and such a salary that people should be able to use the search function. The mods should be deleting these threads as soon as they appear, IMO.
Now now, where would the forum get rid of its pent-up pi$$edoffness?

I apologise if I offended anybody with my post. It's a big life choice to make from another country, without any understanding of the tax/healthcare and cost of living. And people looked pretty helpful on here, so I thought it best to be upfront.
Back in the days before Englishforum (heck, it was even before Google!), I packed my worldly possessions into a car and began the long and dangerous journey from Ape Island to Swiss Island. Armed with a map, the words "Ich spreche kein Deutsch" and a fistful of, erm, steering wheel, I began my adventure of living in a dirty foreign country.

I had no idea if my salary would ensure I would not have to steal the stale bread on a Saturday night from the back of the local Migros - nor did I care.

I though if the local inbreds could survive here then so could I. And so will you. And your Mum
