Sure, just like all the useless knowledge that I’ve got in mind, I didn’t get any medal of appreciation from spending on Google for a little too much.

But then again, on this week’s $10 series, we will go to the original York because the lovely Nadia from Saying Yes would love to share with us some fatty from the city of England. Nope, I’m not fat shaming anybody here, don’t worry! 😀
