Summary

For this month's second Britainology... well, we tried. We booked a guest and we got it cleared to record on location in a chippy! And then the guest had an emergency and the chippy wasn't really suitable to record in. So we ate fish and chips and then discussed the meal, plus the history of the dish, plus our experiences in chippies and takeaways in general. And then we happened upon the idea of Mr. Waluigi's Fish and Chips where they have a pro-ISIS patriotic mural. And then Milo learned a beautiful turn of phrase that will stick with him forever: pig husks--enough is enough!!!
