Dear Sir/Madam,

CHINESE COPY

I was astounded to discover that, despite many of the vendors adopting German and Scottish themes, much of the tawdry merchandise on display in Edinburgh's Christmas Markets actually comes from China.

Why not go the whole hog and have a Chinese Market next year? I'm sure that Edinburgh Councillors and Council Officials would be prepared to undertake fact finding missions to the Far East if they thought that this would enable the City to recruit appropriate traders and no doubt Edinburgh Zoo would be prepared to lend out their panda if it would add verisimilitude to such an event.

Dear Sir/Madam,

QUICK ENTRY

Inching my way through immigration on returning to the UK recently it occurred to me how much Brexit could improve the speed of the process in future. Only foreigners need have their documents examined whilst UK citizens should be able to speed past the queues with a "Schengen Wave" of their blue passport.
