This week on Shouldn’t Laugh But, Laura and Carmen spiral gently from wholesome half term fun into full blown cost of living chaos. There’s caravan nostalgia, Center Parcs outrage and the gradual realisation that a two bed in Battersea Power Station now costs about the same as long term peace of mind.We get gig life glamour in Manchester, early circuit flashbacks, Frog and Bucket lore, and the pure serotonin of someone saying “see you on the circuit” for the first time. There’s North South divide discourse, pub flashbacks, eyebrow trauma, and the joy of strangers actually talking to each other.Elsewhere, it’s Lent gone rogue: the man who gave up chairs, the woman who gave up listening to men, the chaos of yoghurt eaten by hand, and a bold proposal to simply stop being polite in emails forever. There’s spring cleaning strain levels that rival competitive sport, winter bodies emerging blinking into daylight, and a pedicure confession that has truly seen some things.Plus: fake tan fears, sunbed scandals, hacked firesticks, TV licence paranoia, supermarket self scan crimes, and the moral grey area of five pence plastic bags.Spring is coming. The hooves are out. And absolutely nobody is paying for full priced wine.Email us your ‘Shouldn’t Laugh But...’ Moments!
