And now I’ve lived here for almost two years and half. The thing is I’m addicted to your videos, I can’t resist from watching it. You doing absolutely cracking job and keep it up. Imagine if you have to go somewhere else outside the UK for holiday or for work, you would be back with a pale of presents from those people you have helped a lot. Have you ever received a present from random person???

"It's not my favorite." This one is very polite too. You can use it when someone invites you to do/eat something you don't like. So when someone invites you to eat some broccoli pizza, don't say Yikes :) "-hey, want some broccoli pizza? - no thanks, it is not my favorite." "-we are having a rock-N-roll class, join us, it is very fun! -no thanks, it is not my favorite."
