Oasis reunion tickets, winning the lottery and childcare chaos

Chris regales Ed with tales of seeing Oasis at their peak, and how much a ticket will cost for the reunion, and whether this and a Labour Government means Cool Britannia is back.
Plus both consider what they’d do with a £100 million lottery win and appeal for a financial advisor to help them make the most of their (currently) fictional cash, while Ed opines the complexity of getting government help with childcare and an important revelation from Pregnant then Screwed on free childcare hours.
