Move to EU to avoid Brexit costs, firms told

British businesses that export to the continent are being encouraged by government trade advisers to set up separate companies inside the EU in order to get around extra charges, paperwork and taxes resulting from Brexit, the Observer can reveal.

In an extraordinary twist to the Brexit saga, UK small businesses are being told by advisers working for the Department for International Trade (DIT) that the best way to circumvent border issues and VAT problems that have been piling up since 1 January is to register new firms within the EU single market, from where they can distribute their goods far more freely.

Greek Wedding Customs And Traditions

“Simera ya, simera yamos yinetai….”

You would be hard-pressed to find a Greek wedding which hasn’t had that traditional song wafting through the house or street as bridal parties prepare for the big day.

Although we now have the option of playing that song from our phones or sound systems in our homes or at a Greek island destination wedding (as has become du rigour), back in the day, bridal parties would traditionally walk with their families and guests to the church, followed by the whole village, and musicians playing that very song.

There is a myriad of varying traditions associated with Greek weddings, depending on the area of Greece.

Greece Sets Up Digital Platform to Help Stray Animals

ATHENS - With people concentrating on their own survival and well-being during the COVID-19 pandemic, the city of Athens is providing a way for animal lovers to help strays on the streets.

A digital platform, www.animalscityofathens.gr, has been activated to give information on how people can share information on how to help care for the strays.

The online site shows how people can volunteer to feed strays in their neighborhood, adopt a stray  - expenses paid by the city - promote stray animals for adoption on social media, volunteer at the shelter, oversee a local stray animal community, provide dog training (available only for professional trainers) and animal collection and rescue services.

Hm, following news that Myrtos is still a mess the latest scare story from Kef concerns Melissani and Drogarati: apparently there's a possibility that they won't be able to open this summer due to safety checks following the Ianos medicane not being implemented.
