Time for the first Half Time Hooter of the Week. There are more odd tales of what our heroes are saying to us, fake versus real and shops that don't sell what they say they do.

It's time for the First Half Time Hooter of the week to sound. Another night of unexpected conversation involving singing mailboxes and elephants in the attic, fake versus real and how a baked bean jigsaw could be the new party piece. Also, another track from the Album of the Week by Beth Nielsen Chapman, Lester's Library tracks by Creed and Del Shannon, a brilliant Listener's Library song by The Smiths, Record of the Week from Mika and more Pause for Thought.
