About this episode

The episode discusses the life of Thomas Crapper, unique family words, and the frustrations of bad parking.

🚽  The Life of Thomas Crapper Inventor of the toilet? Not quite. Legend of British plumbing? Absolutely. Richie and Chris separate fact from flushable fiction. 🗣️  Words Unique to Your Family Every family has them — strange phrases, made-up words and expressions that make perfect sense until you say them in public. 🚗  People Who Park Badly A 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 .
