Shonette is 48 and Cammy is 24 and sometimes this can lead to a bit of a communication issue. So today the pair are looking at slang and the way words can mean very different things to different generations.

Shonette is annoyed by the lies we tell children (and adults). And the one that’s really got her goat is this one “You can be anything you want to be” Sometimes you have to recognise that actually there are some things you can’t do.

Today’s episode is all about lemon suckers. Because they are taking up too much space in our lives. A lemon sucker is a person who takes the joy out of life.

Shonette is still at the factory working night shifts. And even though the work is hard, the people she's working with make up for it.
