I worked in the dry cleaning industry for 23 years and this was very accurate. Great job.

Michael Faraday is under appreciated. Seriously, his inventions are some of the most important in human history (especially the method of converting mechanical energy to electrical and vice versa), and yet many don't recognize his name.

Simon, I think it may be time for you to look in to creating some sound absorbing pads for the room where you make these videos. If you were able to absorb some of the echo you have, it would really enhance your voice which I personally think is excellent for conveying information. This is one mans opinion.

As a fellow video creator, I respect the amount of research that must go into these videos. Believe me, the time spent definitely shows in the end product!

I've gotta say I usually click off during the sponsorship stuff but Simon is so good at talking and being interesting that I actually stay to listen. He should be some kinda salesman or politician or something.

Simon, you certainly do your sponsors justice when you give your more personal experiences even when you are discussing issues you have had and how the sponsor helped to alleviate them. Gives us something to relate to! Fantastic job as always!
