Writing fic gives you a very strange google search history.

The location of the main TV transmitter for Cardiff.
How  does shortwave radio works and how far can you send a message on it.
The history of the Box Tunnel.
How far is it from Cardiff to Southampton.

and The tide table for the Severn Estuary.

How did we manage before the internet to faind all this random stuff? Ok, libraries but that would take a lot longer.
