Probably gay --- what kind of guy would steal his dad's money and buy clothes?

My sister has four girls, all in their twenties and I swear I saw one of them pose like this next to some of her wedding gifts.

He insisted that it was all the fault of his parents, who stripped him of his allowance when he left his private school and decided to take a gap year before sitting his A levels.

Might anyone translate the bold part into American for me?

As I understand it, many British students take a "gap year" (a year off to work or travel) between high school and college. This student seems to have taken his "gap year" before finishing his last year of high school and final exams (A levels).

A gap year before sitting his A levels == A year's vacation before his final exam.

Uppah claahs Brits who can afford to sometimes do this on the pretext of getting some "life experience".

I thought it might be something like that, but the way this sentence reads, it was his parents who a) yanked his funds and b) decided to take the year off. Poor writing will get you every time!

A face you just want to slap, if you ask me.

Not only would I tan his hide but good, I'd also take some embroidery scissors to that stupid little blond thingy he has going in front, there. Ugh.
