In episode 48 of AdeLoL, Dan delves into the proverbial newspaper vaults, unearthing four stories, each with a short title: 'Statistics', 'Horder', 'Hopper' and 'Mistake'. Each story also comes directly from the war years.... Well, just one war year: 1944.

Giggleaide - Backless Bathers
In this Giggleaide we delve into a splashy tale from 1932, uncovering the debut of the backless bathing suit on Adelaide's sunny shores. Join us as we explore how these daring swimsuits turned heads (mostly the head of one easily offended Reverend), set trends, and marked a change in beach fashion history. It's a story filled with sun, sand, and a touch of scandal - that's scandal, NOT sandal!
