Reading FTW
1. What’s your favourite pastime?
Reading. I like a lot of other things too, like knitting, drawing, and playing board games, but reading has always been top.
4. In 1882, Britain’s first electric trams ran in East London. Do trams still operate in your area?
Not in this small town; we don't even have buses! Auckland has the Wynyard Quarter tram and Dockline Tram. Christchurch has a city circuit tramway, mainly for tourists. We went on it a few years ago, and it was definitely worth it - fun and with a very informative driver. As far as I know, that's it for the country, sadly.
If not, have you ever been on one somewhere else?
I used to travel by tram almost every day when I lived in Frankfurt. Loved them!
5. The piano company Steinway & Sons was founded by Heinrich Steinweg (later Henry Steinway) in New York City in 1853. Can you play the piano?
I went right through grade 8 at school (as far as you could here), but I haven't played for years. I used to be praised for technique, but was told I lacked expression even though I thought I was putting it in. Being on the spectrum maybe? My sister made mistakes but they preferred the way she played.
6. How often do you write a cheque / check to pay for something these days?
Never; they phased them out here a few years ago. Do they still have them in your country?

We still have cheques here but I don't think many people use them, preferring debit cards, direct debit and bank transfer. I don't usually carry money either, maybe £1 in change for when there's a need to buy a token, but that's almost never.
