Hi Just to let all expats know I will be opening a British deli/gift shop from Mid March in Thun any requests of what people miss will be greatly appreciated a site is in contruction at the mo www.asliceofhome.ch.
Hope to see you there.

Hello and welcome
Your site that's under "contruction" says "Bisciuts"

Yeah thanks for the English lesson It was late last night that I posted and the Irony is a friend made the poster who was an English teacher.

Don't know why I bothered really should have put up a post "that since yesterday I have been depressed" would have got over 2,000 hits.

And seeing your in Zürich you won't be a patron, some positive feedback would have been nice, maybe from today I will be depressed thanks.

lets see; typhoo loose leaf tea,
hot cross buns,
thorntons chocolate
reggae sauce and ketchup
true pork pies
marmite ( probably already available )
baked beans ,

on a more serious note , i wish you well and good luck for the future , if i pass your way i will seek you out . if you are good i'll pass on some recommendations .
keep positive and have fun .

you got me worried there for a second...

I Read your URL... As lice of home...

Slice of home... wow... making me homesick just hearing it...

Selling orange lucozade by any chance?

All the best...

Eh, easy does it. That other thread was a bit of a train wreck, and train wrecks attract rubberneckers, always have done.

Well, there's not really too much to give positive or negative feedback on just yet. I like the teapot - does that help?

Hi there. It's a well known fact that however good ones English is, mistakes made in either grammar or spelling only become visible when one has printed 200 copies of a text on best quality paper!

I appreciate that instant criticism gets under ones skin, but mistakes on a Web Page can be very irritating to the eye so it's actually helpful to be made aware of them.

In addition, not only Glendyn saw your reply and on this Site you'll be influencing the feelings of other potential customers. Few of us like having our fingers rapped! Thanking the person who saw the mistake would increase your 'sympathy' ratings -on my 'scale' at least.

Good luck in your venture.

PS - I like the tea-pot too.
PPS - Mr L finds the font appropriate! Praise indeed!

Good Luck!

Sadly a little far to come for a bit of regular shopping. But if you can order and pay online it will be fantastic!

good luck in your new shop, too bad thun is so far away...

I'm occasionally in Thun - especially over the summer. I'll pop by sometime

will definitly be coming by when u are open! good luck, hope it works out and will hopefully see you soon.

Thats a pretty smart answer. How do you know it wasn't positive feedback!

wow that's brilliant news!! you've made one brit very happy today. I'll definitely be along to check it out. HP brown sauce and salad cream would be great

Wow... that's quite a response from someone who's trying to get patronage from the users of this site.
And here's us complaining about Swiss customer service.....

Will you be selling Pedigree?

I'd travel to the Outlands of Bern for that!

Well, good luck, and when you're open, I'm sure we'll visit.

Have you promoted yourself via the International and English Speaking clubs in Bern?

Always glad to see interesting small businesses and hope you will do well.

The dog food or the bitter?

Either... but liquid goes down smoother...

Dog food of course


Anyhoos OP, congratulations and good luck on your new venture. Though based in Zurich, I love the charming town of Thun and its a definite pit stop for any visitors. Will pop in when I have the chance!

I like what I saw when I clicked the link - great colours and use of fonts. Will it be useful to include the house number rather than just Hauptgasse though?

Also, how about adding commas after "british beers", "range of teas" and "british cheese"? Just my 2 rappens.

Well it took that to make a response so it just goes to show theres no such thing as bad publicity

Chum and sausages so no dogs
