With International Nurses Day right round the corner, in this episode, Douglas and Hugh shine a lamp on the celebrated Victorian social reformer, statistician and founder of modern nursing: Florence Nightingale.
Flo's revolutionary "common sense" approach saved the lives of thousands of soldiers during the Crimean War and changed the face of how we stop sick people from dying.
You'll also get a lowdown on the new Chinese restaurant that's just opened round the corner, if the French actually do smell of garlic and why Douglas loves to hang around the toilets of the WI.
