Sara Cox’s listener once signed a stranger’s lampshade — then found it again on a house viewing

 
The Teen CommandmentsRecap of the show on

The standout Your Turn tale came from a listener calling herself Jane, who told Sara Cox and Claire Hamilton about house-hunting at university and ending up on a tour of a stranger's attic bedroom. Spotting a signed lampshade by his bed, she realised one of the names was her own, from a drunken one-night stand months earlier that she'd completely forgotten. Claire couldn't get over the detail. "That's someone's dad probably now, isn't it?" she said, picturing the lampshade turning up in someone's loft decades later.

Another listener's confession about her 18th birthday had both hosts in stitches. She described being "egged on to chug it, chug it" while holding a jug of Sex on the Beach in a Milton Keynes Chiquitos, before being sick through the holes of a wrought iron garden table outside the club. Her mum met her at the door and made her strip her own mattress off the bed, a punishment Claire and Sara agreed was "tough love in action".

A lighter moment came from a listener describing her two young sons discovering what a dildo was after a friend's tip-off, only for the younger one to proudly show her an Amazon search full of glass and double-ended varieties, convinced they were just ornaments. Sara and Claire also loved a story from Laura, blackmailed by her older sister for six months after she read a diary entry calling a boy "fit and shit in sexy".
