One thing I wasn't aware of re: Michael Crawford until my first grandson was born is that he paid for the building adjoining the RVI that is to house the dependents of people in long term care in the hospital.

My grandson was a very sick baby and was in intensive care there for three months and further care for months afterwards. My daughter and her then husband were given a flat in that building for as long as their baby was in the hospital, and free parking too.

Baby came through it all OK and is currently living with me, having just passed his Master's degree in archeology from the university also adjacent to the hospital.

I wouldn't say that. He looks to have a decent future, may be going for a PhD in a few years. First grandchild with a degree.

Eldest son has two, one a Masters. He was going for a PhD but Covid and other circumstances wrecked that.
Eldest daughter was the first to get a degree, eldest granddaughter's mother.
Two other grandkids in University now studying for degrees. Brother and sister, different Universities.

If you found that last video interesting here is a video showing how it was made. Personally I am befuddled by the industry jargon but the actual process I found amazing!!: :-D

It would be too much of a commitment for me, but maybe you could give it a go Ryan? :-D

So you can design and build a kitchen, demolish a kitchen and not have time to record Citroen sounds....
