GV II

Phew, the meeting went ok. Just as I like it, a bit of bantering but in a friendly way. Mostly about the garden below. Even though I got beaten on the snow removal. We pay for snow removal. A lot. And I think it's unnecessary, since we have a roof over half the entrance, and the rest can be removed either by warmer weather or by a shovel.

Suggested we invest in a shovel, but got turned down. Too bad there is one who works for an insurance company. Apparently if somebody would slip and hurt themselves we are responsible. And here was I thinking we didn't live in the US of A, where people sue each other for the little things.

I mean, if I slip on the street I wouldn't hold anybody else but myself responsible.

But now I have to keep on paying 150 francs a year for snow removal. And it snows maybe three times a year, enough to cover the streets. Shucks!

So much for three in agreement!

if this wasn't Switzerland I'd agree with you about not paying for snow removal. not because of the insurance though, but because, as I have come to learn in the last few weeks, people here get very worked up about snow - how quickly after its fallen it must be shovelled, how much area to shovel, who's turn it is to do it, where it should be shovelled to, etc, etc. better spend 150 bucks and save the pain of the discussions

You're probably right, but it still sucks.
