In a recent case, the Supreme Court in London (which is the highest court in the UK) was asked to decide on a matter in which a reference, given by a bank to its customer, was entirely incorrect. It is common for a party to ask a bank to give their opinion on the financial ...
A quick glance at my Formex watch confirms it’s 8.15 in the morning as I approach the Beaumont Hotel in Mayfair, London.

I remember my first visit to the Loire Valley like it was yesterday. Understandably given my left hand still carries the scars of a weekend that didn’t go quite as planned. Still in the infancy of my career as a freelance scribe, a cheap weekend in a quaint Tours townhouse beckoned, but three days quickly ...

Colour, Carat, Clarity and Cut… these are the four important characteristics by which gemstones (especially diamonds) are judged.

We’ve picked the very best looks from our favourite designers and catwalk trends for spring summer 2017. Geek chic is still big, except the geeks are now partying with rock stars. A return to the bad old days of power dressing, with a louche street edge, multi layering and soft textures, and luxury materials that ...
At any time of year Ljubljana is a delight. We have just added another time to visit: early December for the St. Nicolas celebrations which lift the city into another dimension. The mix between a religious festival and commercial interests is so much better than in the UK, it is the equal of Antwerp which ...
