With deepest respect, why a hippo?

Join Liza for regional chest beating with Gripping Local Facts (don't mention the Walsall Hippo), Celebs in Dreams features a soft-rock icon & it's anatomy o'clock in Text Errors.

The soundtrack to Saturday evening, a mishmash of tunes: a hearty portion of hilarity, a side of whimsy and a dollop of dinner chat.

Liza asked for your Gripping Local Facts; learning that many places in the UK claim to have the Widest High-street, and that even questioning the Walsall Hippo will get you into hot water.

PLUS - Where's the line with the word JUMBO, Parental Deceit continues to scar and how your Keyring could save an insect.
