Also, the first class tickets for the train were totally worth it.

How is the teenager taking it, apart from sleeping on luggage? With leaving behind friends and all that?

Welcome to our cold rainy island.

Congrats on getting out of here! Good luck on the future!

Welcome, glad you could join us! And you have a pot of tea already. Hope settling in goes ok when you arrive.

I was raised on proper English tea by my British father and grandmother. However, I have more recently discovered that British tea is weak-ass shit compared to Irish tea.

Barry's is a dammed good cuppa tea, but Yorkshire tea is the English equivalent. God speed, and all the best in your new life. Having just moved my family to the other side of France, I can empathise as to the effort and stress involved in such an endeavour.

We've been drinking Thompson's Punjana at home. I'm hoping I can get some, but there was none in the Morrison's a block away, so I will have to try a different supermarket. I was just going to use Ocado, but you have to have a UK phone number and we are waiting for our eSims. So much to change over.

Which Irish tea? I switch between Irish/Scottish breakfast teas and Yorkshire.

Also, best of luck in the UK. If you’re looking at IT related jobs, message me. My team may be hiring for Europe.

The one with whiskey

Which Irish tea?

Barry's gold blend is the business IMO.

I hope y'all can relax soon. I don't regret having left the US years ago; the only hard parts are not being able to see some family much (though Skype and the like help) and certain foods that just don't exist here (less of an issue in the UK than Japan), but copycat recipes can get things close.

I wish you all the best. Be sure to stock up on tea when you're settled.

Welcome to our little grey rock. It has been a warm winter, but if it gets cold enough to snow in your area then your cultural induction to our society is to endure half of the country shutting down in a panic

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Good luck to you and your family, Squid. You took action!

Welcome! Do you have a football team already or are you going to support Bastard Rovers?

Good luck, mate.

Ugh ... Transatlantic train?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

it's a special underwater train especially made for Squids (including Flying ones) and their families 😋
P.S. : Joke aside the title means to say that this is the 12th hour of a 15-hour trip. So this picture is inside a period of 1 hour at the end of the trip.
Best wishes to you Flying Squid 😌

Glad you got out.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I remember seeing the post about you looking for a job there. Congrats on making it out!

Isn't the UK Distopian in other bad ways? Like insane government surveillance and monitoring

Coming from the land of no public transportation, it was refreshing.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 day ago

We have trains! At least they exist
