Following on from Housen's thread ( What would you miss about Switzerland) I thought I would start a what do you miss about the UK?

  • Being able to chat to anyone (depends what other languages you speak and where you live)
  • Choice of food in the supermarket (you will need to learn how to cook here as next to no ready meals, pre-made food)
  • Country Pubs (sitting outside with mates in the summer sun with a pint in hand), not flipping Pickwicks in the city centre selling flat beer!
  • Living in a house (Houses in really good locations are hard to find and can be massively expensive)
  • Family and Friends
  • Cheap items and having choice.
  • Shops open on a sunday (and not being closed for 2hrs at lunch time and closed early in the evenings)
  • The sea (we are land locked, I miss the sea)
  • Choice of good restaurants (other than pizza, and pasta)
  • Take-away
  • Biscuits (no flipping custard creams)

sorry to hijack thread its the only one alive at the mom in the swiss dept ;-)

900k chf doesnt really get u anything wtf !
Yep seriously hijacking this thread tongue out

900k in Geneva area definitely doesn't get you much as there are lots of crazy buying going on in that area. Pop over to the site EnglishForum.ch and read lots of details about this area.

Sorry I live the German speaking part of CH.
