An angry reaction to a curious Oma leads to questions about whether it’s ever OK to compliment someone else’s child, and why Nic’s resting face may be preventing him from making friends with other parents. We also discuss ever increasing supermarket prices, and what a small selection of groceries tells us about the state of the German economy.

We run through some of the major news stories, with claims of nepotism hitting the government, we wonder if it’s ever alright to employ friends and family. We also take some time to discuss EU proposals to make drivers over 70 retake their driving tests every five years.

We finish with the nightmare scenario taking an exam, only to find that there’s an unanswerable question. Who should be blamed for such an extraordinary screw up, and should pupils be expected to resit the exam at a later date?
