We begin this week with James and Toby debating a truly burning issue - Is it better to live in the city or live in the country? After some time in the country this past week, Toby isn't sure the Youngs would last very long living the Delipngpo

Two thirds of the earth is covered in water, the rest is covered by London Calling. But this week we've left London behind as James and Toby find themselves on opposite sides of the world – Toby in Canada, James in Hong Kong – and whether jet l
