How do you pack?
Scott compared two very different holiday-packing styles.
Sam laid everything out on the bed and checked that outfits matched.
Scott preferred putting items directly into the suitcase and hoping he had remembered enough.
Advice from professional organisers and cabin crew included writing a list, beginning around a week in advance and taking three tops for every pair of trousers or shorts.
Listeners admitted packing for every possible weather condition and taking far more than they ever wore.
Souvenirs and excess luggage
Gilly Caroline remembered returning from Zakynthos with so many bronze souvenirs that she concealed them inside her clothing.
She placed a bronze ashtray down one side of her top, necklaces down the other and wrapped seven scarves around her hat because she had no money left for extra baggage.
Scott named her voice note the programme’s favourite of the week.
The Birthday Game: Paul
Paul wanted an upbeat birthday choice.
One of his spins produced Anita Ward’s Ring My Bell, her only UK chart hit and a number one in 1979.
Paul accepted it.
Scott revealed that Rihanna and Jay-Z’s Umbrella was also waiting on the wheel, but Paul remained happy with Anita Ward and joked that the weather did not need tempting.
The Music Police
Kat’s mystery melody prompted a wide range of suggestions.
The correct answer was eventually identified and Kat confirmed that the case could be closed.
She said contacting the Music Police had saved her from continuing to think about the tune indefinitely and gave the service an enthusiastic recommendation.
Radio 2 in the Park
Scott reminded Leicestershire listeners that a small allocation of Saturday tickets remained available locally even though the wider weekend had sold out.
Handover
Scott handed over to Sara Cox after closing Kat’s case and continuing to collect holiday-packing confessions.
