We just left (Zug) after a nice long stint, back to the UK. I know how you feel 
Having said that, being back has some compensations. We're back in a nice village and it is good to see a lot of faces we haven't seen for years. There are still decent pubs, and you can do simple things like ordering reasonably priced home delivery pizza and curry
The roads here are, however, s
t. And it feels way colder than CH for some reason. And a train that is 5 minutes late is still listed as being "on time" when you're shivering your tits off on the platform waiting for it to arrive.
Good luck with the move

My wife works in Blandonnet, she is a frontalier, I'm just a rig pig.
I've managed to get a couple of concessions for moving back to the UK, so something to look forward to: I'm going to be allowed to race my motorbike in thundersportGB and I'm selling the family car to get something fun, just have to decide what
But I'm not looking forward to UK roads and traffic. I'm going to miss the mountains and the lake, summer and winter, the life style in general.

Andrew, didn't realise that you were off. A shame, though I hope we can still tempt you back for drives over alpine passes, as long as you promise to bring Gilly and C. as well.
I still miss Geneva, though it is 6 years since I left. The east of Switzerland does have some advantages but Collonge-Bellerive still tugs at the heart.

Good luck in the UK, CakeEater and AndrewD.
When I drove back to the UK in the summer I couldn't believe how bad the roads had got. The R32 doesn't exactly have rock hard suspension, but I had to cringe at the amount of potholes my poor car had to tackle.
Seems like quite a few people are moving away from Switzerland, probably not surprising considering the exchange rate and expense of living here.
