The next chapter should be 'Transition' for at least 11 months. | | | | | I only have 800 pages.
The number of pages can vary as you can set it to one of a number of options in the settings. |

1m gets you in the region of 80-100m2 in Verbier and outskirts of Zurich go for similar. Greencity on the very limits of Zurich city want a touch over 1m for 61m2 |

| | Re: The Brexit referendum thread: potential consequences for GB, EU and the Brits in | Quote: | |  | | | That's a lot of money for such a dreadful location. | | | | | I'm not sure it is as bad as it first looks. Very green area (duhh!) with great transport links to Zurich - about 10 mins to the HB with very regular trains (10 mins rush hour, 20 other times).
I have a couple of friends who bought there and are very happy - prices have rocketed down there, presumably for the reasons above.

But we could send them a Swiss flag anytime, if they just like colourfull pieces of cloth flying in the wind.
In case of a hissy fit they can even burn it. a) it's allowed and b) we send them a polyester one (could cause bad burn injuries though).

Brexit: What is the transition period?
Boris Johnson could decide to extend the transition period (as long as the EU also agreed to it). Under the terms of the withdrawal agreement, the transition period is allowed to be extended by 12 or 24 months.
So the saga could continue for another three years almost? Almost 7 years in total.
