Today a belated Seasons Greetings card made it to my door.

It came from ‘all at Binani House’. It had been addressed to me at the Britsh Embassy in Belgrade. To judge by the envelope it indeed reached the Embassy and was processed in Security (zdravo Zorane!) then forwarded back to me in England. A carbon-intensive trip of some 2100 miles.

No-one had written anything in the card. And whoever sent it to me was going by a directory of some sort which is now at least five years’ out of date.

Who or what is Binani House?

Hard to tell from the Internet. Various Import and Export agents appear to reside at that address in St Johns (sic) Wood in London, including Metal Distributors UK Ltd.

Hi there, Binani House wellwishers! You may remove me from your lists.
