Best Joke
30th June 2020
Things we talked about today…
There is on ongoing argument on the breakfast show about Ben’s Car. He has a scratch on the back which he is convinced Laura did with her car, he has now taken his car to the garage and tried to pysch Laura into confessing to the crime by saying they were performing a ‘paint chip analysis’ to find out if it was her. She saw right through this though and knew that wasn’t a thing! She didn’t do it!
Ben’s son Nick has been asked to prepare a joke for his Beavers zoom call this afternoon, but as we all know, Ben is not funny. So we need your jokes! Some great ones have come in already, but if you have a favourite, comment on our Facebook Post with your funnies!

DOG!
29th June 2020
Things we talked about today…
Since Ben and Laura have been off for the week they haven’t had chance to talk about Father’s Day! Ben was ranting because he got a blank father’s day card with a Camel on the front which we now believe to be a Llama not a Camel. Whereas Laura got an actual song written for her Dad! Her friend Cameron has started writing and performing personalised songs for big days called 'Cam-egrams' – you can get your own at a pay what you feel price, just email cameroncabotmusic@outlook.com.
Big announcement for Laura today, after years of hoping, wishing and waiting, she is finally getting a Dog!!!! He is a Goldendoodle and will be coming home with her in 7 weeks time, Ben has asked if he can be the Godfather, we don’t think he understands that you actually have to like dogs to be one of those!
