We’ve got a bonus episode for you and once again, your correspondence has proven absolutely sensational. In this episode, Chris questions whether this is the golden age of hot drinks, Elis is hauled over the coals in corrections corner for several horrendous mistakes and we learn about the REAL museum of failure.

PLUS Elis pitches his idea for a circus, someone helps us correct something previously described as an ‘Oh What A Shame’ moment in our #50 Presidential Inventions episode. AND if you’d like to add any more to the debate, you know what to do: [email protected]

This is Part 2! For Part 1, check the feed from yesterday!

This week on the show we’ve got a selection of historical yarns to share; the great British supermarket baked bean war of the 90s, how Sweden swapped sides of the road in the 60s, and the many incredible instances where entertainers took percentages of profits instead of a one off payment (and the infamous occasions where they didn’t).

And this week we’ve been mainly discussing the oft-repeated rumour that cinemas make the bulk of their profit not from showing films, but from selling sweets and popcorn. If you suspect that is poppycock and can prove otherwise, please do get in touch with the show: [email protected]
