Libra and my name is charles & other tales

Step into the confessional with Simon Mayo, Sister Holly and Brother Matthew for a slightly shorter episode that still delivers three absolute belters — plus Parish Notice Board gossip, five-star reviews, and a heated debate about how on earth you say 'guacamole'. We first walk down the cold marble steps for a confession from the crypt involving ashes, an urn and a vacuum cleaner. Then Mr C, a trainee engineer on a deep-water trawler off Greenland, quietly “sorts” a toilet problem and accidentally creates a floating arctic legend. Plus: Jonathan, aged nine, proudly parades a “lady-shaped” inflatable from a den… straight into Dad’s allotment. Got a confession? Send it to confessions@greatesthitsradio.co.uk.
