Summary

There’ve been contrasting weeks for our two heroes. It’s a non-stop all anecdote premiere for Elis. For he has as follows… met Hugh Grant, attended Ken Clarke’s curry house, been to film screenings and had his greatest ever stag - apart from the one organised by John he stresses. *And* Mo Salah thinks he matters.

John meanwhile has been asleep for half nine each night, talked about trauma and bought two sheds.

We also have a guest who is perhaps the biggest mover and shaker in South Gloucestershire and also makes money out of small bowls of chips. Plus there are some incredible skiving emails.

Do you have links with a mayor who John could grill? Well send it in to [email protected] or WhatsApp 07974 293 022.
