Joel Golby, from the Please Don't podcast, joined Greg James to confess that on medium to long-haul flights he sneaks a spare pair of pants into the toilet and changes mid-air as "a little treat to myself." James, clearly delighted, grilled him on the logistics in a cramped plane toilet before putting the question to Ask The Nation: is this normal, or deeply strange? The BBC Sounds vote came back brutal, with James revealing "92% of people think it's strange," against just 8% who admitted to doing it themselves. Callers including Keith, Brian and Emma weighed in with their own travel rituals, from secret sock changes to full pyjama transformations, keeping the phone lines buzzing for most of the morning.

Elsewhere in the chaos of the clocks going back, James launched his own campaign for a permanent half-hour time shift, insisting "we're grown up enough now to compromise," though he lost his own thread trying to do the maths live on air. The Halloween-themed Yesterday's Quiz saw team captain Jamie chatting about her upcoming Halloween wedding to partner John, who was reportedly sitting in a nearby car listening in, ahead of their head-to-head later in the week.
Listener Jenny brought validation for Greg James's own sleepwear habits, pointing him to Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse's Gone Fishing chat about wearing just a t-shirt to bed, a segment James insisted must have been inspired by his own on-air confessions, joking "that feels like a diss, actually."
