Dating Then vs Now

From phone boxes to dating apps, this episode dives headfirst into the world of romance, old-school style. Steve recalls how courtship worked in the 70s (spoiler: landlines and pie & mash featured heavily), while Lew tries to explain swiping, champagne expectations, and the curse of Nando’s as a first date.

You won’t ’Adam & Eve it’ about Christmas in June (Steve’s fuming), an advice corner with some “Say It Like Steve” wisdom about dating on a budget, and a new Cockney slang word to crack.

If you’ve ever wondered how far £100 will get you on a London date in 2025 or what happened to Lew’s long-lost Tracy Island this one’s for you.
