Love-O-Meter

Onolla puts the love of radio host and podcaster Geoff lloyd and his stand-up comedian wife Sara Barron to the test

A bad trait she thinks she’ll pass to your son
Geoff: A state of constant panic and anxiety, particularly when we travel
Sara: The Barron family travel anxiety
(Priority boarding is the answer, surely?)

The best excuse she’s ever used to get out of a commitment
Geoff: Probably my son's health, or mine
Sara: My son has a hospital appointment

The thing that first attracted her to you Geoff: The accent
Sara: His money
(Echoing a scene from Downton Abbey)

Her biggest ick about East Londoners
Geoff: People pretending their parents haven’t bought them houses
Sara: Overly manicured facial hair
(Well documented features of Stokey)

What she would like to come back as
Geoff: A fly on the wall, just to listen in on other people’s marital disputes
Sara: A duck. I envy that lovely green colour

LOVE O METER
VERDICT

6/10


A relationship in tune where it matters
They may differ on the best of British or the nature of their initial attraction, but when it comes to excellent excuses, optimal organisation and killer karaoke they are very much in tune. As partners go, they clearly know how to navigate their neighbourhood, and have a great laugh while doing it.

We asked Geoff what he thinks are the passions, quirks and secret indulgences of his wife, Chicago-born Sara. Then we asked her...

Her go-to karaoke track
Geoff: Walking in Memphis
Sara: Walking in Memphis
(Both very much in tune with each other)


The British thing she has come to love, that she wouldn’t admit to an American
Geoff: The NHS
Sara: A cup of tea
(Two great institutions we all rely on)

The profession she would excel at if she wasn’t a broadcaster or comedian
Geoff: A PA. She’s great at admin.
Sara: Maitre D' at a fancy restaurant.
(Clearly Sara is a great organiser)

Her favourite corner of London
Geoff: Clissold. A great park in miniature
Sara: Clissold Park, it’s better than Hyde.
(A truly natural couple when they roam)

Her most quoted line from a TV show
Geoff:‘Somebody give me some cheese’ or something else from 30 Rock
Sara: Something from 30 Rock
(Couples who laugh together stay together)

A bad trait she thinks she’ll pass to your son
Geoff: A state of constant panic and anxiety, particularly when we travel
Sara: The Barron family travel anxiety
(Priority boarding is the answer, surely?)
