Delayed cancelation schemes
Nope you are totally wrong! But what is common practice in Switzerland and in most of Europe for that matter, is that we assume you are an adult capable of managing your own affairs.
Next time around try claiming incapacity to…
In my opinion the best pocket spring mattresses you can get here are from Ikea. I spent over 6hours sleeping on them in the shop - even better to bring your own pillow. Similarly tested the other brands commonly found here like bico,…
>- negative feedback and friendly complaints here unacceptable unless you are at a very expensive restaurant or hotel, and even there you often hear: Oh, sie sind aber de erscht wo reklamiert!! "you are the first that ever…
Was at the funeral march near the crime scene today. Only a few hundred people showed up. Majority non-Swiss. I assume it has to do with the fact that the Swiss don't like funeral marches.
I read Iliad was buried in his home country…
Have done that as well when tired.
Worst was when I meant to give greenies to someone for an excellent post, and inadvertently gave red blobs :eek:
Since then I double check, double check, double check
Did you also have the impression, that was all it really was? Very shallow, not worth my Serafe payment.
But of course I'm always pleased to give grumpy a hand, so I let it slip for now ... they still got 10 months (that's my…
Yes, the restaurant in Aeschiried is open to the public - no need to stay there.
The terrace is a gorgeous place, unfortunately not for a cold beer or a nice glass of wine - I don't pretend you'll drink alcohol though ;-)
FWIW, I do work in the field. The salaries are pretty much based on functional classes/levels which are tied to a job title. The OP mentioned his friend in Basel with the senior scientist title and earning 150K. Real scientists don't…

Home Health Care
Yes you're right. I recalled it wrongly. Revisiting my notes, also here on my fiber connection, city of Zurich, fiber was already provided into the building, but not to each apartment. Only at my order for a fiber abonnement, I think I…

Why not? Assuming he’s talking about Swisscom, UPC or similar they have a 24 hour tech number you can ring. Spent the odd Saturday/Sunday night onto techies in the Cablecom days myself when something went pop with the connection or…
In Nottingham, they used to put these "Teenagers Frequency" devices to keep teenagers out of certain areas... never worked on me, though...Could have been to do with the fact I've always been an old fart!:D
Hi
Las Burg in Weil am Rhein. Set up an account and they will give you a mailing address. Use this address for Amazon and do your order. You will get an email from Las Burg when your package has arrived.
Sometimes it feels like half…
There’s the idea in our parts that having good spelling skills means that you’re academically good. Considering it’s the school part that tends to make apprentices fail, employers hire apprentices who have the most…
it might make a great sprinkle? i make omelettes and vary the vegetables, but typically
- fry some sliced vegetables say mushrooms or leeks
- add beaten egg and tilt evenly round the pan
- put on some green leafy stuff like…

Taking dog on holiday.
Well, maybe that attitude is one reason why people prefer to live in Switzerland rather than the U.K (amongst others ;))
This attitude reminds me a bit of the World in which we strive to e.g. save water. And then to travel with a UN…
Yes please say "yes"- for 2nd piller when your salary per year is higher than 21330 CHF - All employees insured under the 1st pillar and who earn at least CHF 21,330 a year (in 2019) are insured under the 2nd pillar.
The tick box is…
Yup, but not me... my kids are well-past that age... and when we arrived in Switzerland, I had to carry that damn stroller (and we had the lightest smallest possible that even fits down a normal tram or bus aisle)... up and down so many…

Must move out on 1st April?
From helping with many friends' moves, and having had friends help me, I learnt that it's always best to ask some to come round before the day of the move, to pack in advance, plus a few extra people for the actual day, since someone is…
Not necessarily zero. If you bring in CHF10 million of capital, and start a business employing I think at least 25 people in an industry such as tech, hedge fund, wealth management, or other highly skilled industries, then you have a very…
There is no real problem here. Buy the bike and register it to the UK address you have, and where i assume the bike will be stored. If it's not stored there just tell the insurer where it will be stored.
The license issue is…
Hi forum, so I've to travel the same road, along southern Bodensee, from St. Margrethen (CH) to Bregenz (AT).
If I avoid Highways (Autobahn I guess), may I avoid to buy/stick the vignette to my Swiss car?
thank you a lot
If not all, most of the times, yes getting some one else from countries requiring sponsorship is the reason.
Some times, people would really look for candidates but never get filled. They just go on hunting for candidates thinking we can…

Vested benefits account fees
Neither of those links states they are approved by the Swiss Financial Market Supervisory Authority and so are authorised to offer financial services in Switzerland?
Here is the link to the authorised companies.
maybe I'm too tired/lazy to really read the materials you provided but up to my research the principle is that if you had to pay the radio bilag full fee you have to pay now the full serafe fee. There were and still are exceptions for…
Hi, I am looking for a tennis partner to play on a regular basis.
I have been playing tennis for multiple years and consider myself an intermediate player.
I prefer playing after 18:00 in the evening and I am available both weekdays…
Not my thing as php is too easy so I would not build any sensible career out of it :D but the change regarding the database driver looks really easy even for a scripting kid who took just a web dev boot camp and know how to google, check…
Hoi!
I came across the thread last year, among others, and felt I would leave back a trace because I did some good findings.
I am a man, so I really did not grow up dreaming about doing pilates. But I was tasked by my GP to do…
Your tax declaration is due in February/March the following year, your taxes are due during the current year. Unless you want to pay extra interest over the amount not paid (and yes, this may be different in other Kantons) :)
Once I was in Lausanne Rennes train station, waiting for the train. One young guy just came to me and asked for 2 CHF. I asked him why? And he said he wants to buy a beer And I do not know how to respond to that answer. So I gave him the…
BLP, I found this while googling around - an online dermatology service:

Cost is CHF 55 for an initial assessment. (Next steps will be additional costs.)
According to their site, you send in photos of…
