From 1926 to 1935, very listenable even today, but as three of the members were Jews they had to disband.
When I lived in the UK, the German Ambassador to the UK was sometimes on the radio.
He had a great sense of humour. I suspect that is why he got the posting.
Henning Wehn even made it big in the UKā¦
Most of the Swiss barbers and hairdressers Iāve come across are perfectly capable of cutting different hairstyles. Alas, they usually donāt partake in the money laundering / ten empty barber fronts in one street.
Rainer_d isnāt going to be able to get that song out of his head all dayā¦
Sorry for spoiling the party, but money laundering accusations canāt be given away like candy in Halloween. There are curious laws in Switzerland about saying things, stay smart, donāt make any specific reference.

In 15 years I only met a native Swiss hairdresser once. The rest were foreigners.

I think quite a few of them are secondos.
And to be honest I find the neighbourhood morphing into a unrecognisable place seems to stem from particular groups.
Expats?

Back to the topicā¦ Zurich government should investigate these āBarberā shops

Itās not really in the remit of the government, is it? More likely it would be the local plod. You could give them a call and tattle on them.

I think slammer made the point well, a āTurkishā barbershop isnāt problematic per se; itās the ghettoisation effect which sometimes follows, as can be seen in other European countries.
*although the federal police have put out warnings about the issue of money laundering within barbershops.
Iām more concerned about the strategic location they have chosen to open these shops. Just go for a stroll around Lochergut/ Goldbrunnenplatz. Size of these shops range from small 18 m2 to 1000 m2ā¦ Shops literally next to each other sharing the same wall, shops opposite to each other. It just doesnāt add up. Call it a conspiracy theory or whateverā¦ But if someone wants to take control of a city and if they have control over large number of shops, itās easier for them to promote a propaganda or in the worse case if they want to create law and order situation, itās easier for them to start riots etc by deploying people in these shops.
Everythingās possible in the world of ideas. But is there any indication of that?
If the issue is money laundering, they tend to stay quiet, the goal is launder money not popular revolt. If the issue is popular revolt, itās not people that prioritizes financial concerns. Basically, the topics are mutually exclusive.
Maybe put more attention to football matches or protests against gentrification. The police wonāt do much if the rioters are kicking a few foreign looking guys. Take care.
