London. It's the epicentre of Britain but without it the UK's GDP is equivalent to the poorest state in the US. And one fifth of the total population is living in poverty.
Cheers, mate. My mum died a couple of years before him and he followed the same pattern as my uncle and both my grandfathers. Outlived their wives but died within two years after. Basically they all died of grief.
My wife’s younger than me so I keep telling her I’ll outlive her!
Anyway, I’m a plucky orphan now. I keep expecting Dickensian high jinks and a pick-pocketing mentor with a heart of gold.
And sorry to hear about your old people. It’s tough when you get to a certain age and can see the decline. My father-in-law is suddenly massively doddery compared to how he was just this time last year.

Uhhhhh…mind putting in a good word for me when they turn up?
Yeah, it’s rough. My dad’s been on extended medical leave, in and out of hospital, but is having to consider going back to work before he’s actually appreciably better because he’s not able to afford just living on the benefits he’s receiving. If I could send money his way I would but we’re struggling ourselves, so it’s not an option on a regular basis.
