    Switzerland is a VERY interesting country and must surely rank as one of THE best places to take-the-air after emerging from a very deep and stagnant pool.

    Surely somebody on Boards has a few Stats to allow comparison with our little wepublic...do they Rent or Buy ?....are they aware of what the term "Dead Money means....?


    Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.

    The old joke told to me when I worked in Germany was that Switzerland was a country established by Germans for whom Germany wasn't German enough.

    ...or...

    Germans get fined for not separating their household rubbish, Swiss people get fined for not separating their household rubbish correctly.

    I`m assuming that for a "Non-National" to secure residency in Switzerland they must have married a Swiss OR be patriating serious amounts of Money to prevent their becoming a drain on the country`s resources ?

    That begs the question as to just how much "Trouble" this fellows Irish operations are in and what resources,if any,will remain in Ireland to meet any committments left behind...? :confused:
