Excellent episode as ever.
I am sure worse things go on, but the notion of Chiropractors talking about manbags in the Daily Mail via One-poll is enough to make me want to hang myself.

And not only is the manbags story a non-story, but the PR company can’t get their maths right.
6.2kg is not 12 bags of sugar – it’s 6.2 bags. When manufacturers had to change their labels to metric ones, Tate & Lyle changed the standard 2lb bag into a 1kg/2.2lb bag.
Great show as usual, and I wish i could have been at QED!!

More manbag hilarity at hilarity:
I think I am noticing the word “manbag” too much lately. It is obviously confirmation bias, but really, guys. This is ridiculous!
