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

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.

Which Irish tea?

Barry's gold blend is the business IMO.
