Summary

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] If you're impatient and want both parts in one lovely go next time plus a whole lot more(!), why not treat yourself and become an Oh What A Time: FULL TIMER?
