What’s small and red and speaks with a husky voice? A hoarse radish! (groan!) And Purple People, that’s what we have on the table for you today. 



We are exploring the condiments box so pull up a chair and get ready for some spicy chat!  



We’ll learn how a fishy trade with South East Asia gave us one of our most beloved red accompaniments, before we stop off at Branston Lodge in Burton-upon-Trent to taste one of the most popular pickles around. 



Elsewhere, Gyles takes us on a saucy tour of the Houses of Parliament and Susie explains why being 'mustard' is a compliment you should be happy to receive.   



We’ll hear from some wonderful Purple People in this week's correspondence and Gyles finds inspiration in the nation's favourite brown sauce for today’s poem.

Enjoy Susie’s Trio for the week:  

Äugend and Addend. - In a simple equation, (e.g. 3+4) The first number is the augend and the number that is added to it is the addend. 

Amatorculist - Someone who trifles with your emotions and leaves you heartbroken.  

Hirquiticke: a horny teenager; "one past fourteene yeeres of age, beginning to bee moved with Venus delight" (Henry Cockeram, An English Dictionary, 1623)  



Gyles’ poem was: Mary Wilson - On the Death of Harold Wilson  



A Somethin’ Else & Sony Music Entertainment production.
