40 How DID Joan D'Arc Come Her Hair?

Description
We're back in Sandi's room of books, as she takes a break from her zumba - which is rather fitting as this episode was recorded on International Dance Day! Not only do we see Sandi celebrate this auspicious occasion, but also the anniversary of starch being introduced to the UK, so our collars would be floppy no more! Yes, the actual date this occurred is documented, but the name of the woman who the starch over and teaching everyone how to use it, wasn't deemed important enough to write down.  We then take a journey through time and books from starched collars to Joan D'Arc and ending with a look at the female SOEs who lead the way in the defeat of the Nazi occupation of France.  Only Sandi could start with Zumba and end with heroics of the resistance. What a journey. Don't forget ... We Will Get Past This.    See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
