Strange - Weird 200m after the border there is an Aldi supermarket; incredibly almost everything is half the price of the Swiss Aldi I was in yesterday, yet 2Km away in the centre of the city there are many branches of the 3 Swiss supermarkets packed with Swiss people
- Swiss agricultural industry musst be incredibly protected qll local products : dairy, meat eggs are particularly expensive .. I guess Swiss can afford to be patriotic in buying.
- yesterday I was in the Caritas charity supermarket which is stocked with leftovers from the big supermarketsbut I bought nothing as still stuff was too expensive
Revelation
Tip Not everything in Switzerland is expensive ..I carried my 3Kg of extra luggage, but now I find that posting upto 5Kg is cheaper than Italy where iut costs €11 plus box here it's 8Fr, In Germany €7.

Sat - Basel - heritage day
heritage day in Basel turned out to be boring : the events weren't so exciting and everything was in German. I went on an archaelogy tour where she unlocked doors showing Roman and medieval walls under thecity then I went to the Bio Tech open day : OK fors kids. David my CS host was traveling so I decided to cross to France to go to the heritage events in Mulhouse

- Capitalism means the more yo buy the cheaper it gets, but this is counter conservation/efficiency. What you need is the more you use the higher you pay for each unit. E.g. For energy band customers - Goddam greenie family - pay 4.4p KWh - Pensioners- pay 5p KWh - Guzzlers- pay 20p KWh
- your search bot
- instead of speedbump put a 70cm wide strip of cobblestones or rough bricks
church is a government provides hospitals and schools but undemocratic
