Among those 3 brands I would go with Miele. Their 48-inch pro range even has a microwave warming drawer with steam assist built into it. The pro range, as well as some of their wall ovens, connect to a water line for steam cycles which are…

Hi! I buy an ebike from an online ebike store that sell Corratec, Quadrini and FLX ebikes, the name is Chebike Swiss (last weekend and I'm absolutely satisfied).
You can choose your city ebike, the price is in the standards prices for…

Thanks for curing me!
Is that the royal “we”?
Europeans as a group are also diverse.
I moved here when I was 52. I have adapted quite well, thank you.
In fact, it was easier for me to move to Switzerland than from the northern US to…
Or the swiss Raspberry Pi shop only official provider who sold the 10chf Raspberry Pi W tiny item and billed almost 6chf for shipping.
The item came in a basic envelope (it's very flat device) and the stamp of 0.85CHF.

Remove parental authority
That.
I guess it would be helpful to have a trustworthy independent 3rd party come over occasionally (the more the better) to confirm your "diary" entry.
As hard as it probably is, WRT to custody rights it may be useful if you keep on…

'The Knowledge Academy'
Avoid this company at all costs.
They cancelled a course of mine a week in advance then miraculously it was reactivated a few days before the scheduled start date. Eventually, within hours of starting, the participants walked out…

Intervals can mean that you will not have enough years of national insurance contributions (sometimes called 'qualifying year') to get a full state pension. If you are eligible, you may be able to pay voluntary contributions to fill any…
Yes, as I understand it, it is open all the time. Apparently, there is a timing app from MSO (timmy?) that will record your intermediate times as well.
I'll PM anyone who's interested when my Nyon buddy and I organize an evening…

Toys R Us is scum of the earth
Frankly, first trip there which left me empty handed as you put it would have been a big sign to not go back for me. Why wait for "reparations", for retailers to pick up the vibe of customers, to offer good service. They'll go down at…
I visit Zumstein regularly and i can confirm that I have never seen a round sterched canvas there (i will check again). I visit Kreativ Point in Konstanz regularly for art supplies and I know that they have 1 section devoted to canvas. I…
Ha, thanks for that thread.
I've been searching for weeks now as I need it as "Meterware" (like a few meters, no frame etc.) and can't find it anywhere. The sizes are either for windows or - when they are something like 2.5m long they're…

Top British Schools in Zurich
You seem to not want to understand, people here are offering unique insight into a country you know very little about and you are being very defensive about it. Typical of UK migrants who believe integrating is beneath them.
If you…
Can you pay for a cleaning without them actually doing it? I refuse to do polishing any more. Every time I get my teeth polished, they're sensitive to cold and hurt for a month.
I'm still trying to find a decent dentist.
In the same way the government deals with all other things they ban!
a) not so seriously - the cops only get active if somebody files a complaint.
b) more seriously - the cops go out proactively and search AirBnB and other websites for…
It's more that it's illegal, rather than not being acceptable. If someone assaulted either of my kids I'd call the police.
edit: Actually here's another story (not saying it's related to AbFab's story), something that happened to my…

Where are the bees?
We got a home for wild bees from
these chaps, which we put up 2 weeks ago - its nearly fully populated already (we live in Vaud, Jura foothills) . Great to see them all going about their business - the deal there is you send it back…
It’s complicated because it is requires a doctor’s prescription. I am surprised your mom could get them without prescription. If you can explain what you need them for and that they have worked in the past, hopefully the doc here…

Is it legal?
It's called "cabotage". Here is a bit of legalese about it, sadly only in DE/FR/IT. It basically sais that domestic commercial transports of people or goods with trucks/buses that are not registered, taxed and dutied (sic) in Switzerland…

Along with most of the media, I’m so convinced that Liverpool will crush Roma and get to the final, that I feel it’s now inevitable it will all go horribly wrong. That instead of 3 or 4 nil tonight, Liverpool will go down 1-2 or…
It's come a bit late as I've been and gone, but thank you anyway. I did manage to muffle something in Armenian that must have been understood as I got a lot of applause. That, or they were just being polite!;)
Having lived in Ghana, Gambia and Senegal, you have two options... that I'm aware of. Ok, three.

Way safer than trying to argue the point with someone who just keeps repeating "Half tax tickets are only valid with a current halftax card You don't have a current halftax card, therefore neither of you halftax tickets is valid."
Shared parental authority is the norm here since July 2014 but shared custody is not. So by default, both parents have a say in important decisions regarding the child but the judge fixes the child's daily residence with only one parent…
I believe it's a very traumatic experience for a woman, which should be avoided at all costs, but whether it's morally abhorrent or not it's a very private sphere discussion, so to speak. I do get your point, but I think it's very…
Hi All,
Does anyone has experience with Ameritrade? I'm Easter European and I'm planning to have an account because their rates convinced me. I used to trade a long time ago and I want to start again. Can also anyone tell me some…
I will align with the Italian guideline then ... unless you have an even better one.
I don't remember seing many people drinking "Tschumpeli" as seriously it's a sip = just a tease. They must have tried to serve me that at one point…
Friend got a quote from AMAG for 360/tire, reifendirekt had the exactly same spec at 250. Even if AMAG had them in stock, they still didn't have an appointment in the same week, so absolutely no reason to pay for it.
It's a ridiculous…
