Yesterday we heard about the poo powered bus service operating between Bristol and Bath and today we heard about the American organisation trying to buy poop.

Seemingly they will cough up $40 (£25) per day to volunteers willing to provide samples.  They liken themselves to a blood bank, but for poop, which believe it or not is then used in transplants. I guess if you work for them you could be described as a “stool pigeon”.

Being a Tuesday Margaret Mills returned with some more folklore remedies suggested by one, Samuel Wegg. In previous weeks the remedies have involved vipers and gunpowder and although I could live with two of the remedies described today involving potatoes and
French brandy I do draw the line at swallowing a live mouse to cure chest, lung or breathing complaints. Mercifully perhaps we are leaving folklore remedies behind us and moving to something completely different next week. Meanwhile click on the link below to listen again to these amazing remedies: –

See you then,
