How to have an eye test (according to Dominic Cummings), football's coming home and conspiracy theories

Specsavers? Should've gone to Barnard Castle for your eye test, at least that's what Dominic Cummings is recommending.

Grab a drink and pull up a pew, as we have a lot to talk about in The Virtual Pub - the perfect podcast for those who miss going to the pub in this particular pandemic.

Listen to The Virtual Pub every Friday at 5:30 pm (otherwise known as the time we would all be getting a pint after work)
