I see you've anglicised our postcode already: "WA6028" Well done with that.
We hope you can get the ST out here. We're running out of them and yours might be the last to arrive on our shores.

Just getting in some early language lessons for the Pom.
He'll need intense sessions on arrival, possibly before Customs.
