Went to Scarborough, too. Had some great family moments in a restaurant there.

You have some ancestry in Yorkshire ?

I'm not sure why but I find the North more attractive 

(there's a list in the video description for both)

Isn’t the one on the right a frequent guest on the numberphile videos?

Tom? Red Shirt dude? More computerphile than numberphile I think. But doesn't seem to appear that frequently (only 15 videos of him on that channel out of quite a lot)

No, but we had a mess up with our food that has become a family punchline.

Tom Scott has done a few (or even one) pieces for Computerphile and Numberphile, but most of his videos are posted on his own channel.

Did you order a Yorkshire Pudding for desert?

I have only been to England once It was back in November of 2009, I liked London but I have to say If there is one thing that tripped me up on the first day in London was what in the name of Odin are Aubergines, But now I know its an Eggplant. I swear I was too Jet lagged from my flight from the States to ask questions. that or I did not want to stick out like a zealous American like Kevin Kline's character in A Fish Called Wanda.

Don’t forget the imperial war museum and the battle of britain museum.

Sorry I missed this one earlier!

Hopefully the weather will be somewhat normal the third week of March. Being as we are from the desert, we actually like going places where the sky is not always blue, and where water actually falls from the sky (when it rains here, my kids run outside).

I know it's not London, but in Leicester, there is the National Space Centre, which has a Blue Streak and Thor Able (I think), and was where the Beagle 2 lander was controlled from. And the Leicester Uni made an instrument for the Parker Solar Probe!

Leaving the Land of Entrapment for the UK tomorrow. Woot!

Unsure what we'll do, a week in London won't put a dent in it, I'm sure. Might try a couple day trips out of town (within a couple hours by transit). Plan on seeing a friend as well, which will be fun.
