Question for Thorn. You seem to speak and understand English pretty well (at least, better than Greipel)
Have you ever lived in an English speaking country, or do either of your parents speak it?

I have learned some German and I want to improve on that as well as learning some French. But still a long way to go.

I have never been to Scotland. I created my reddit account after my TDF account and pretty much went along with the same persona.

All the time I've ever spent in the UK was about 5 days in London with family.
