Jordan North came into this episode with a grievance to air: his long-awaited chimney sweep turned up in trackies with no brush, no flat cap, and definitely no Mary Poppins-style roof dance. "That has killed the illusion," he complained, having been charged £170 for what he felt was a distinctly un-magical service. William Hanson, never one to miss an etiquette angle, was unimpressed that a professional would turn up dressed so casually for a house call.
The real class war, though, came over moths. Jordan revealed he's been "overrun with pantry moths" after leaving flour open in his cupboard, prompting William to gleefully point out he's never had the problem himself thanks to sealed containers. It became this week's Etiquette-ology of the Week subject too, tying into the segment on "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and the origins of over-dressed, over-polite children.
Elsewhere, listener dilemmas covered whether to chase a friend who's been sitting on a birthday present, what age a boy stops being "Master" on official letters (William's verdict: around 12), and whether dating someone who shares your brother's name is a dealbreaker (consensus: not a problem). There was also a cheeky throwback to last week's Patreon exclusive, with a clip of William and Jordan's mothers, Wendy and Sarah, taking over hosting duties in character.
