• I know you've visited Switzerland a lot, but have you actually lived there?

    I have. I really didn't want to be one of those Brits who lives in another country and hangs out only with other immigrants, but all my early attempts at building friendships with locals failed. I talked to a Swiss colleague about this and he made it very clear that he thought most Swiss people don't befriend foreign workers as they won't stay long. Which seems a very insular approach.
