first time poster, long time reader
Hey folks,

Just thought I'd drop in and introduce myself - long time reader, first time poster today (which is why my account was created a year ago but I only just got around to posting). Have been living in Zürich for a year, with a demanding cat and a wife who shuttles back and forth between here and her other life as an academic in Oxford.

As a complete public transport nerd, I'm liking Switzerland a lot. Me and my GA are very happy together.

Welcome to EF! Hope you have fun here.

What's a GA? Half an Italian cat?

That's the best definition of a GA I've ever seen. Thanks for making my day!
