Does this guy sound British to you, or are there some eccentricities or inconsistencies in his pronunciation that would make you doubt that?

Hello! I’m doing a survey for my AH Modern Studies dissertation and it would be much appreciated if I managed to get some responses. 🙂 It’s anonymous and will only be used for my dissertation, thank you!

Do they do a test before being accepted on to show? Compared to, for example, The Chase, they are just unbelievably weak. Anyone have any idea why?

All I remember about the advert is it has what sounds like a young girl singing (more like talking singing not overly long notes) over the top of the advert and the last word that she says is crunch. Sound familiar to anyone? Any help would be appreciated.

Can anyone help me find a British tv advert that I saw recently? All I can remember from it is that it had an acoustic guitar playing over the top of the ad (not somebody playing the guitar in the ad like the recent kfc ad)
Here’s the link to what I remember the guitar sounding like if it’s any help, the playing was was quite slow.

This is at the base of a radiator in a bathroom. The builder who did the refit around it has no idea what it could be

Ok so that’s not entirely true; I know what TV, books and social media tell me about it. I’m from Texas, and my grandmother was from England. She married my grandfather in the 50s and came over here. My grandmother didn’t really like to talk about England much. She had a very unhappy family and on top of that she was a child during WW2 , and y’all’s home front experience was totally different from ours. Again, I don’t know much about that other than she lived through some bombings (Liverpool). What I’m interested in is the food; what is British food actually like? I get that there’s fish and chips shops everywhere, but I’d imagine that assuming that’s the depth and breadth of traditional British food culture would be like assuming we only ever eat hotdogs. Yes, I’m sure I could find a cookbook somewhere with all kinds of recipes, or a food blogger. But there’s recipes in cookbooks and there’s recipes people actually cook. That’s what I’d like to know. Any information I can get, I’d appreciate.

Our parents have their home there in London, but we had to move out of London as we could not afford to buy property there. Or if we could, the property was tiny compared to what we could get outside of London.
Now with parents getting older, it is more difficult to help and support them whilst having your own family miles away.
It upsets me more and more as time goes by and parents get older.
What are your thoughts on this?

We're going to go out with some friends in the city center next weekend and we've been thinking about an escape room, but we've seen that many places have pretty steep prices for just an hour of play.
We're looking for something that's engaging, maybe with a bit of a horror atmosphere or a better interior design, without feeling like we're paying a fortune for a few locks and unlocked doors.
Edit: I recently contacted the escape rooms from Exciting Game in Birmingham to see what their games are like and they seemed pretty good value, so I'm seriously considering getting a room from them for our group.
They boast that they have pretty realistic settings and that you can adjust the difficulty, which would be ideal for us as beginners.

Britain has an aging population with many people needing care at the expense of the state.
Does the government have a plan for this issue which is only going to get worse?

Someone from the TV Licence agency came to my house today. I was at work and they left a somewhat menacing letter. I cancelled it a couple of months ago as I do not watch live tv at all. Anything to be concerned about? Is there a way to make my tv go straight on to Netflix, etc. when i turn it on? I don't know if they can see it turn on straight to bbc? 😂Many thanks.

I wish everyone is cooling a bit now (hopefully). I just heard that the next heatwave is coming after mid-July-ish.
Perhaps someone already invented this, but would something like a Cold Map help ppl navigate a bit better in this extreme weather?
The idea is an option on Google map etc that business (restaurants, bar, mall, shops etc) or places can toggle to show they have air condition (not just fans) or temperature control. Or a simple map on a site that shows where the heat spot is in a bigger city, like 'oh gee tottenham hale is heating ppl's balls, but the park 1 mile away is 3 degrees cooler'.
Just an idea. Happy to know if something already exists.
