Councils, Cars & Thomas Crapper

from Mildly Informed

🚽 The Life of Thomas CrapperInventor of the toilet? Not quite. Legend of British plumbing? Absolutely. Richie and Chris separate fact from flushable fiction.🗣️ Words Unique to Your FamilyEvery family has them — strange phrases, made-up words and expressions that make perfect sense until you say them in public.🚗 People Who Park BadlyA topic guaranteed to generate strong opinions. Crooked bays, abandoned trolleys and the quiet fury of a badly positioned car.🎙️ Mildly Informed returns, with Absolute Radio’s Richie Firth and The Bugle’s Chris Skinner once again taking everyday observations far more seriously than they deserve.This week’s episode covers Victorian plumbing history, family linguistics and one of Britain's favourite hobbies: judging strangers in car parks.It's part social anthropology, part public service announcement and part excuse for Richie and Chris to get mildly annoyed.PLUS — over on Patreon, the lads embark on a local council rant. How many emails can we send them in a week?👉 Support Richie & Chris here: patreon.com/mildlyinformed Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
