Report to my Scottish friends: St. Andrew's night went off, as usual, at 7:30pm on the 29th in Milano. Smoked salmon (the true one), etc. and 10 years single malt Laphroaig + Glen Grant dignified the celebration. Scottish dances ensued. https://www.facebook.com/elio.pennisi p.s.: sorry, forgot the w...

Can anyone suggest if we have wedding celebrants fluent in Italian?

Yes Kbell, if you speak Italian and/or you live in this country or in Ticino I suggest you visit on Fb "Movimento Umanista di Lingua Italiana".
We are just a few and new friends are waaarrrmlyyy welcome.

Happy Summer Solstice. Just back home after having celebrated with friends (dinner and bonfire) at Alpe dei Fiori (Flowers' Alps - near Lugano).

Crikey Moses, what are we to do? I jus' dunno. My only vague thought is that we should try to keep western ideas available, through the World Service, of course, but also through exports of western goods. Human nature seems to adopt fanaticism when someone "moves the cheese", but few civilisations ...

In my opinion a region that seeks separation from a country does not decide according to a +- £ 1,000-1,500 gain or loss in a year(at least I hope!). Difference in culture, administrative and political management style are most important weighs to be pondered upon.

Only a single aspect of the separation but I am still wondering what the outcome will be regarding the EU rule that a company must have its HQ in the country in which it has most employees. How many Scottish based companies have most of their customers, and therefore possibly the most employees, in...

I was thinking along the same line but I admit there is not straightforward answer because:
- Devolution: is your present status
- Enhanced Devolution: is what Conservatives have promised in case "NO" wins
- Independence: is what is sought
So, hem, what?

Unfortunately for that view, the leading party leaders in the forthcoming Euro-elections in France, the Netherlands and the UK are Ms Le Penn, Geert Wilders, and Nigel Farage. And Labour's desire for difference is leading them into Never-Never Land. (But that's for another thread.) At EU level they...

(Heaven knows what Labour policy is......) I think nowadays, in this madly globalized world, any party in government (Tories, Labour, LibDem, even UKIP.....) have not got much space for manoeuvre. Their main struggle today is to find ways to show alternative policies -when in a government. Quite an...

Either Scotland (as it is now) asks for a rating or, as an independent country, will be assessed a rating. Why would they need or want a rating? A rating assessed by S&P, Moody's, Fitch or similar (Dun & Dradstreet is not among the official ones) establishes the official economic reliability of a c...

Scottish independence would delay UK return to AAA rating - Fitch LONDON Thu Apr 10, 2014 3:45pm BST (Reuters) - The United Kingdom would need longer to recover its triple-A debt rating if Scotland gains independence after a referendum in September, ratings agency Fitch said on Thursday.

Interesting, Gottard. Thanks. Of course, straging away from the topic under discussion, Euro-scepticism is even more pronounced in other member states, including, perhaps unexpectedly, France. Hmmm... I do suggest that we begin to distinguish between the EU (common trade area) and the Eurozone (con...
