Re: English speakers in Bern have a bad reputation (and they're not welcome at this s

I'm sorry to hear about that.

My jaw dropped when I read about discriminating against a 'language'.


Granted that I am doing my best to try lo learn German and then Swiss German, but it's not very inspiring to want to adapt and intergrate when you hear stories like this.

I sincerely hope that people like this are in the minority.



This being said........ and now knowing that we are not welcome anyway...... Is it worth playing a game?

I suggest we get as many people as possible to individually enter the shop, and with your most polite English accent, ask how much the cheese is?...... 'oh, that sounds a bit expensive, do you have any English cheese?"

Simple yes, but I bet after a while it will drive him insane, and we could meet up for a beer and compare our various insults.

I would be prepared to travel to Bern if there were enough people to make this worthwhile.

If we are going to boycott a shop, I suggest we do it with style. Otherwise he'll get exactly what he asked for.
