A pendant writes: given that boats move under their own power (including sail in this), they are more akin to floating motorhomes than caravans.

"Wi-fi" is increasingly becoming a synonym for "internet", which is a source of irritation when you work in network engineering and people moan about "wi-fi problems" and it turns out the cause is not wireless based at all. Morons.

'statutory entitlement' - as in provided by the State, or landlords have to agree to you installing one?

Watching MotoGP and cycling on the telly, it's always a good indicator that English is not someone's first language: super happy to win etc. Also the use of 'for sure' which we never say.

Any landlord/barperson worth their salt should be happy help and recommend something that meets your taste (or is at least nearer than Old Scrotum).
If they are disdainful of your plight, take your custom elsewhere (if possible, obvs).

Sausage and eggs and toast are part of a full English, so think of it as a portable breakfast combo.

Even without that reasoning, the answer is "It's never too early for a scotch egg"

The sound of silence. And I don’t mean Simon and Garfunkel.

When I was a kid, our cars were so old/shit they came with an AM radio and nothing else. The car’s ignition coil wasn’t suppressed, so all you could get was crackly radio overlaid with noise from the engine. So we had nothing.
