Doctor Brown has opened Bermuda’s 2,600 square foot London office.  In the swingin’ West End baby!  According to the press, the office rent is $800,000 a year and will have a staff of up-to-six on top of that.

The goal is to have a “more efficient interface with the UK Foreign & Commonwealth Office” which I think is Ewartspeak for “act like an independent nation”.

A reader points out how it will probably actually work:

“The FCO calls Government House in Bermuda, who then call the London Bermuda Office, who then call the Bermuda Cabinet Office … who then call the London Bermuda Office, who then call Government House in Bermuda, who then call the FCO in London.”

I laugh.  Until I realise that he’s probably right.

For this pricetag, you could fly the entire UK Parliament here to feel the love personally!  And call it a tourism success story!
