William and Jordan rank camp and common transport, then answer listener letters on laundry, etiquette and awkward weddings.
Yes. William says don't blow your nose at the table; a little wipe is fine, but coughing, sneezing or nose-blowing fits mean you should excuse yourself, ideally once there is no food on the table.

Answered around 19:28A listener, citing a tip from Melissa's Wardrobe, says that while Ace for Whites uses bleach to remove stains, Mrs Stewart's uses colour theory to neutralise yellow marks from deodorant, sweat and fake tan.
