Good luck, it will be an adventure! I've lived around the UK, so happy to offer any insights if needed.

My wife kept saying we should get a Dyson, but I wouldn't contribute to the cost so we bought a Henry.

He's not getting a penny my money.

There are services in the UK where they come and clear the house for free. They take the risk on the value of what is in there.

It's easy. W is a vowel in Welsh. It sounds similar to ö in German and it can be modified as ŵ to elongate the sound such as in the word dŵr which means water.

Wrwgwai or Wcrain (for example) are the natural way to spell those countries using the Welsh alphabet. Its a highly phonetic language believe it or not.

What happened to Giant Bomb? I used to listen to it many years ago...

There are parts of London which are hell to visit because they are overly popular with tourists. An example being borough market at lunch time, it's all tourists and you can't move. I don't begrudge anyone and I can happily just avoid it but it really makes me realise how hard it must be in the much smaller cities with higher ratios.

My wife went to Venice recently with her mum and said that the service staff were predominantly South Asian, so I wonder how much of that 250k is immigrant population there to service the huge tourism industry.

My dad went for cumin instead of cinnamon for his apple crumble. Then he finished his whole bowl telling us it's fine. Everyone obviously left theirs.

We've never let him live it down.
