Happy Monday, Ducks! 
Here we are again with our FREE Monday episode for you as we set you up for another week! 
The conversation continues about strange drink combinations after Jo saw someone in Coronation Street having a Red Wine and Coke. Some odd suggestions coming in from around the East Midlands! 
Charles makes sure the podcast can't move on from a certain conversation topic thats been "lingering around" for the last few weeks, and of course, we'll do a game of Guess the year and Kids Tell Fibs. 
Thanks to our sponsor for this week, The Magic Garden, quite simply one of the best places to drink in Nottingham. Check them out yourself here: https://themagicgardennotts.com/
