    There were a lot of 'old' people there I thought maybe it was the bones creaking so did not really want to mention it!

    Probably!

    It's not the Swiss as such, but rather the citizens of the town the man lived in. They've been told their process wasn't fair and they must think again.

    @Mordac - any EU citizen can move to Switzerland quite freely. They have three months to find a job. Once settled, any changes to the status of the country of nationality won't affect that. Moving to Switzerland to live and work is easy. Getting citizenship isn't too difficult, but it's expensive, takes two years and you can't apply until you've been there at least ten years.

    The Swiss are notoriously picky about who they let in. Which makes you wonder how one of the congregation managed to slip through. I didn't think the Swiss made "clerical errors"...

    oh no anyone we know?

    Man denied Swiss citizenship for not knowing about animals sharing enclosure at his local zoo | Daily Mail Online

    Man is denied Swiss citizenship after living in the country for 30 years because he did not know bears and wolves shared an enclosure at his local zoo

    • The man didn't know wolves and bears were housed together at a zoo in Arth
    • He had lived in the country for 30 years and ran a successful small business
    • The court ruled yesterday that the Naturalisation Commission had failed to balance their decision

    lets hope no one asks about Squirrels !
