Reading that his father read the Spiegel I wonder if Mark and his siblings learned german.

He says his father was interested in everything German and that they always  had the "Spiegel" at home and that Mark still remembers the typical orange, the typography of the title and that he loved the thin paper... smelling Fender catalogues came to my mind  ;D.

He also said his Mother was 92
when she died and that she had had a good life.

About Ed, he is not so friendly.

"He sold his stake. All I know that being our former Manager, he had the right to do it. So he realizes the stuff. Apparently he needed cash, for whatever reason. He has no other job, maybe because of that."

About the "Scottish thing": "Mel Gibson made a terrible movie "Braveheart", full of construed contrasts for people with very little brains... I never had time for flag waving nationalists."

About books: He also suggests "Meadowland" from John Lewis-Stempel and tells about its content, being perfect for people living the country. Or the forest.

Mark always seems to have much better interviews with non English speaking part of the world.

Perhaps they have the more interesting questions.

Also his most favourite book, "The Blue Flower" by Penelope Fitzgerald about Friedrich von Hardenberg, pseudonym Novalis.  He says it is only a little book, but a classic and perhaps the best novel he has read.

To be precise, he said that "The Blue Flower" is one of his most favorite books, not the most favorite.

Apologies!    As you will note, the vital word for "one of" is not clear in that part of the text, due to it being on a fold and shiny!   ;)
