Scott’s supermarket life low and the Esperanto conference
Scott revisited the humiliation of having his shopping put through at the till before discovering he had left his wallet behind. Sweaty after a run and holding only a ten-pound note, he had to choose what to put back while people in the queue became restless, with the special cake and magazine among the casualties.
The team called it a ‘life low’, although Scott was most upset by the lack of a graceful escape route. A listener’s suggested manoeuvre, pretending to fetch bread and then slipping out through a back door, was not much use in a shop with no convenient exit.
Tom returned for Oh! What’s Occurring?, taking on television questions and another round of real-or-made-up Facebook groups. The programme also found a news item about an Esperanto conference in Llandudno, which became a very specific source of excitement as the Big Weekend approached.
