AMT416: LEGO Titanic, Curried Whale and World Book Day

AMT416’s questioneers want to know what to do with their wedding suit post-divorce, why is World Book Day, how Nelson’s Column is cleaned, whether Brits during WW2 bought whale meat from fishmongers or butchers, who is buying £530 LEGO Titanic sets at the airport, and whether the fondue party they had for their twelfth birthday was bougie.  For more information about this episode, head to answermethispodcast.com/episode416.
