June 06, 2018 Salad Cream, Northern Trains and Jamie Oliver
Salad Cream or Sandwich Cream- how do you eat yours? Heinz have proposed a name change due to the function of the condiment but it may in turn have been a great publicity stunt and also brought to attention the snobbery of the mayo brigade.

As train chaos has been rife countrywide, local newspapers across the north of England have filed a petition for the government to pay some attention outside of London, and Bill Jacobs from the Lancashire Telegraph fills us in on the transport misery.

And finally, Jamie Oliver. What now? You ask. Well, he is seeking to have junk food advertising banned, however Channel 4's bosses have pointed out that without the revenue of some 'junk food brands' adverts, they could lose around £200 million. Steve Miller, director of Fatnosis, has something to say about the whole thing.

June 05, 2018 Spiders, Love Island and Carbs
Today, as news reaches us that someone called a KFC delivery just to have someone round to remove a spider, Daisy and Mike ask Grant Harold aka the Royal Butler what he would do if such a request reached him.

As season four of TV phenomenon Love Island kicked off last night, Daisy and Mike decided to watch it for the first time and give their reviews on it (spoiler alert, Mike hated it) and Sarah Packer from The Sun lends a bit of background on the shenanigans of previous seasons and what to expect.

And finally... Carbs - they make you gain weight! Shocking! But how exactly your body deals with carbs can be revealed by the way you taste a cream cracker, so Mike gives it a go and Dr Xand Van Tulleken, off of the Telly, talks them through how best to moderate your intake.
