Haéppy New Year! Let’s get the year off to a good start by dito travelling through time and go to British India. We all know how Gandhi brought to an end the British sovereignty, but we don’t necessarily know how it all began. We take a close look at the British Raj, which was the rule of the subcontinent by the British between 1858 and 1947. We visit the magnicent Taj Mahal, meet with two important personalities of today’s India and Pakistan, discover the real story behind the Monopoly game, welcome newborn babies and explore the origins of British curry, among other topics. May 2021 be lled with health, happiness, love and kindness!

nowhere to make up for recreational ights
nulle part compenser des vols ludiques
FlIGHtS tONOwHeReIn an effortto make up for2020’s nancial losses, Qantas, an Australian airline company, was one of the rst airlines to introducerecreational ights.The jet ies low enough so that passengers can see famouslandmarks(some are even happy just to see clouds!), and then, after a few hours, it returns everyone to the same airport that it departed from. Ticketssell outrapidly, and though it’s hard for some of us to imagine, the people who book these trips are nostalgic for the airport experience: the queues, check-in,draggingtheir bags around! One man said he hadn’t realised how much hemissedying until hewas strappedinto his seat and the captain’s welcome aboard and safety announcement came over the speaker.

In itslockdown, the South African governmentimposedtoughquarantine rules, including banningalcohol and cigarette sales, which hit both businesses and criminal gangs hard. Finally, the gang leaders called a pastor in the Cape Town community, and simply said, “Weare starving." The pastor thought that if these guys were starving, the rest of the community must be in serious trouble. So, hedeviseda plan that not only met people’s instant needs, but also gave these young men a newsense of purpose. Gang members who would normally be trying to kill each other worked together with the common goal of providing food and vital supplies to those in need. And interestingly enough, violent crime fell by 75%.

During the summer of 2020, a small town in the US state of Vermont saw its populationswellby about 10,000, as people arrived from New York, where the Covid-19 pandemicwasat its height. The local government hopes that many of them willput down rootsandrejuvenatethe town, and the townspeopleare keentoo, but it wasn’t always easy forthem. That’s because they had to deal with the newcomers’sometimesimperious learning curve: their impatience with bucolic ways, anabysmal graspof recyclingrules, and theendlesshysterical calls if they saw abearjustambling around. Could they shoot it? Well yes, if it was in the kitchen. No, not if it was in the yard. However, many of the New Yorkers gotused toa commuter-free lifeand have sincebought houses in the area, so they might well be there to stay.

The industry there comes with its ownset of challenges: Canada’s alcohol ban wasn’t totallyrepealeduntil the late 1940s, and to this day there arelingeringproblems for individual consumers who want to order wine produced in other provinces. A smaller problem was the needto warn grape pickersnot to smoke marijuana near the vines. And a constant challenge for winegrowers is the obviouslydiscerningbears that love Chardonnay grapes, and crash aboutgobbling upwholerows. But Ms Pinte has no intention of returning to France. The soil in British Columbia is a palette, she says, from which she can make art.

AfteR wINNING tHe Battle Of haStINGS IN 1066…
…William the Conqueror amassed vast areas of land which to this day belong to the Crown Estate. Each monarch owns the land for the duration of their reign, and they cannotsell offparts or pocket its revenues. Only a quarter of the estate’s prot goes towards the royals’ income (however, this is 25% of £345 million). So,in spite ofcentral London’s 2020 rental losses, the royal purse will only be reduced by ameagre3 or 4 million. With Covid-19, the demand for ofce space changed dramatically, as working conditionsbecame more exible, and even hugeretailershadto shut downand renegotiate contracts – a rent, for example, based on commercialturnoverrather thanlocation.
