Scott’s shirt looked wrong
Scott had tried to embrace England’s World Cup run by wearing an England shirt while DJing with Chris at a young farmers’ event.
Chris knew immediately that something was wrong with it.
The shirt was white.
It said England.
It looked vaguely like a football shirt.
But the badge did not have the expected three lions.
Scott had bought it for £10 cash from a souvenir shop on Oxford Street.
On closer inspection, the design appeared to contain the word “England” three times instead.
Scott then made the problem worse by revealing that, for years, he had thought the song was “Three Lines on a Shirt”.
He had not realised it was “Three Lions”.
The fake-looking shirt therefore accidentally matched his own interpretation of the lyric perfectly.
Fabian Delph inspired the search for Britain’s least romantic person
England player Fabian Delph had returned home while his wife gave birth and described her as “an absolute machine”, praising how strong she was mentally and physically.
Scott thought the sentiment was positive.
The wording was not especially romantic.
That led to listeners revealing the worst attempts at romance they had experienced.
One woman remembered standing on a balcony during what should have been a beautiful moonlit moment when a man told her he could tell she was “a little bit broken inside”.
Instead of sweeping her off her feet, he made her cry.
Scott also remembered his own failed attempt at a romantic meal in a restaurant where diners ate in darkness.
What he thought was unusual and intimate had been interpreted as him not wanting to look at his date.
Students begged for their deposits
The programme also began helping students leaving university accommodation.
Beth and Harry were cleaning their Exeter house and desperately wanted their deposit back.
They described the heavy-duty cleaning required after a year of student life and admitted that some repairs had involved the kind of improvisation people hoped a landlord would not inspect too closely.
Their landlord was called Mike.
Scott encouraged them to make an emotional plea to him on air.
A worker in student accommodation then called with practical advice: be polite, be honest and do not assume somebody else is going to clean the toilet for you.
The discussion produced enough horror stories to suggest landlords and students had very different definitions of “clean”.
