Three minutes after 12, welcome to Mystery Hour.

It's not like that. It's not spooky stuff. It's really nice. How did the observer describe it last week? I can't remember, but they were very complimentary.

And the week before that, the Daily Telegraph, podcast of the week or something. Delightful, really, to have it recognized after all the hard work you've done over the years to make mystery out the institution that it has now become what happens is that someone will ring in with a question could be anything the only rules we have can't be dull which unfortunately has already been one of the reasons for expulsion what was what, what was his name? Matthew? Bless you,

mate. You can't, you can't ring up Mystery Hour and ask a question about something that happens

while you approach a roundabout in your car. And the first rule of Mystery Hour is there is no

mystery. Oh no, that's Fight Club. The first rule of Mystery Hour is that if it's a motoring

question, it will almost certainly be adjudged too dull for inclusion. That's criterion

number one, dullness. Number two is simple repetition. If we can remember dealing with a question

and if between us we can dredge up an answer to it, then in our minds we won't put it on again.

Go to the mystery hour archive at lbc.co.com.uk. Actually go there now. Go on, I'll wait. LBC.com.com. I'll wait here. You let me know when you get back. Go to LBC.com.com. The Mystery Hour Archive, which is just great fun, regardless of what time of the week it is. It's got loads and loads of previously asked and answered questions. So someone will ring in with a question. Someone else will know the answer to it.

And I'm the ringmaster. That's it, really. If you've never listened to it before, enjoy. If you

have listened to it before, you don't need me to say enjoy, because you already know you will enjoy.

So, hello. And if you're listening on the podcast, the time now is almost certainly not five

minutes after 12.

Williams in Welling Garden City. William, what is your question?

Hi, James. My question is, what do the numbers on a toaster mean? Do they relate to the heat or the amount of time your toast is in the toaster for?

I mean, bless you, mate, that's quite easy to establish.

It's just, it came up at a family discussion, and we then went online and googled it,

and there's actually quite a few forums just discussing.

Are you serious?

Seriously, yeah.
