I think what we've learned here is that Sara is an impulse buyer, and has been since she was a child.

[@heliusfengari]

Wow, that's an insight! Hadn't connected the stories my mind but now that you mention it....

[@forallthestupidshit3550]

Doung things while on a lunch break while crying can also lead to impulse buying

[@Tao_Tology]

Okay, hoooooooooolld up there. Kittens are _exempt_ from 'impulse buy' status. It is an existential need to have kitten companions.

[@peterclarke7240]

You can play fun games of amateur psychology with many of the repeat comedians on WILTY. Sara: loving but dysfunctional upbringing, possibly frequently poor and deprived of treats, leading to irresponsibility relating to money. David: doting, enabling parents and family, slightly spoiled but in a relatively harmless way, few childhood friends to speak of and woefully inept at anything relating to social interactions with the opposite sex. Bob: grew up in the Beano. 🤣

Has anyone else noticed that if the person is new(ish) to the show, the stories are much more likely to be true; I suppose because their real life anecdotes haven't been used up yet?

[@finwefingolfin7113]

Yes, and if the show makers think you are good at bullshitting (like many of the professional comedians and TV presenters) they make the false stories more ridiculous and hard to sell.

Being an American, I so not understand going to the Post Office to get money. Can someone explain. I have heard this many times before on various British programs.

Most benefits are now paid electronically but back in the day, you would receive your child benefit money from the post office, by taking your child benefit book and having it stamped and the post office give you the money. I'm close in age to Sara, and I can clearly remember my mum going to the Post Office with her Child Benefit book.

[@ezaxis]

Not sure how he feels about the royal people, but he is not opposed to the constitutional monarchy. He has a new book coming out about British kings and queens.

[@davideberhardt6150]

This is not the real, private David Mitchell, it's his media persona, the "posh & repressed Englishman".

[@danielyeshe]

According to his book he doesn't. Also David likes traditions so it was probably a thing for him growing up.

[@nzstjohnthebaptist]

The number of celebrity/reporter/etc British people who have trouble with their "r"s is much higher than the US. Although, in her case, it is rather slight.

[@fingersTitan]

It's because Americans and Auzzies speak through their noses. An American male is closer in pitch to an English woman as she speaks through her throat so certain words are harder to pronounce.

[@sslaytor]

They don't have "trouble" with their "r"s - they are British!

[@spiralpython1989]

It’s called “rhotacism”, and is a specific speech impediment, especially where the r sound is vocalised as more a w sound, and can be especially noticeable in non rhotic accents. There are some british accents that are more rhotic than others, and some linguists have pointed to either class (compare cockney to elite schools where rhotacism not uncommon!)/ location/ oral shape as possible reasons. US accents tend to be rhotic (pronouncing every r sound in a word) while Australian accents are non rhotic (certain r sounds when in particular placements in words or adjacent to particular letters) are not voiced.

WILTY? has lost something. The covid separated seats which are absolutely ridiculous have the cast far too apart so there is now very little intimacy and chemistry amongst them. The seats need to go. What else needs to go is the lame guests that have been popping in over the last three seasons. The bar is low and it needs to be raised to the likes of Sara Pascoe, etc... I just watch the old episodes now where the cast are visibly having "fun" with each other. lately they'rre not having fun. They're just going through the motions.

[@stephaniecarrow4898]

I think the different chemistry is due to your first point about the ridiculous spacing of the seats.

[@ezaxis]

It is the curse of all long running shows. If they keep doing the same thing, people get bored. If they change things up, people yearn for the old way. As David and Lee have pointed out, after this many seasons they have pretty much exhausted stories from their lives that would work in the show. I don't think the seating arrangement really has much to do with it. It is just an aging show.
