International post
This week has seen the office receive:
- Half a dozen letters in Dutch from their tax authorities - easy to deal with
- A veritable stream of correspondence from the Norwegian Revenue, with which we are very familiar
- A letter in Inuit (and Danish) from the Nuuk tax office, sent to a client - a demand for taxes that another firm of accountants should have dealt with
- Some beautiful promotional calendars and diaries from a client, in Azeri, showing views of old Baku and the industrial oilfield landscape in the early 1900's.

Nothing in our national language, the Gaylick?
A larger hat for an obviously swelling head?
Some smug Bas**** will always benifit from our hardships, do they ever give anything back?
Good work on bringing money into the islands from outside (and, especially, outside Scotland and the UK).
Tut tut, so much bitterness will kill you in the end. Surely the Nicolsons should be commended for proving it is possible to have a successful business based in Lewis with a Local, National & International customer base. Even more remarkable when you consider its been achieved without the help of CNES.
Hats of to you for proving to me (and hopefully Enterprise orgs) that you can complete in the global marketplace from here with hard work, a phone and a broadband connection.
Thank you 1:52am.
Having clients off the island spreads the risk and ensures that any economic shock here doesn't affect our employees here.
It's good to be able to secure and create (more) jobs locally from off-island sources.
6:04 - I do pro-bono work for those who cannot afford to pay, as the CAB will be able to attest.
Order more Brasso. One halo getting plenty of polishing.
Why is it that some people always find bad in a good news story. The off island business is helping to spread the risk and gives the employees of the firm a more secure future. How is that bragging, selfish or greedy?
7:07 Agreed. Some people - usually, from experience, the laziest in society - resent others making a success of themselves. Wonder if any of the whiners are actually providing local employment?
And I am still working, having started at 7am this morning.....
Shurely the dishes don't take that long!!!

It was a joke - right - a flickin joke

I expect you work in the Harris Tweed industry!
Delighted for the Nicolsons and their staff - bottom line is that they provide a good service and that brings its rewards.
The jealous attitude of wishing failure on those who are successful rears its ugly head again...not just an island thing, very much a British attitude. Whereas, in the US, people will sing your praises if you succeed. Well done Angus and your good lady.
