No forum for Austria?
Just wondering, why is there no forum on Austria? It's not that there aren't any Brits there.
Or is there complete lack of interest?

The media had stuff recently about THAT HOUSE in Braunau-am-Inn where THAT MAN was born. Anglo media do not tell us much about waht is going on in that part of the world/

Re: No forum for Austria?
The interesting thing is that THAT HOUSE as you refer to it has neither been used by THAT MAN nor his party and his atrocities. After all, anybody no matter if it's THAT MAN or any other human would have to be born somewhere, which is the only thing that happened in that house. The whole family moved at a time when THAT MAN was very very young and didn't even know what a Jew is....
If you're interested in this particular kind of history about Austria, I suggest you would visit the Mauthausen concentration camp. There is lot's more to see there rather than in Braunau.

Apparently about 10.000 Brits live in Austria.
Retired and working. Just read an article yesterday that tourism would be badly hit if Brexit happened end of Jan. 2020. Many Brits work as skiing instructors, barmen, waiters, ski hire agents etc. They would be out overnight in the middle of the winter season.
At Vienna airport all airline staff I dealt with a few days ago were Brits.

Don't know about the quality of the reporting as I haven't read them, but there seems to be quite a few Austrian newspapers in English, eg.

Best to ignore both and learn to speak/read German.

In case of a NoDeal Brexit agreements stop immediately resp. new rules come into force = apply for Rot-Weiss-Rot Card.
I just go by a statement from head of tourism authority on TV and newspaper.They are as concerned as employees are.
Btw, UK embassy Vienna website gives all info/links you need in case of No Deal. Check their Facebook?
Are you affected by it?

Sadly Austria also vehemently and stubbornly denies dual citizenship, especially when it comes to naturalization. Even the Netherlands are more open minded on that one.

Actually, you did - "They would be out overnight..." was your exact phrase.
The cooling of the formerly friendly attitudes has, I believe, very little to do with British ski bums - it's a consequence of the volume and flavour of the "enrichment" they've experienced over the last decade or so.
