You and Yours

Available for over a year

Ever wondered what it's like to be homeless in San Francisco? Or eat your way through Queens? Now you can find out with Vayable.com the online marketplace which promises to show you the hidden secrets only the locals know. Floods have hit Morpeth again - so what does it mean for houseowners? Abandoned patients? We report how some GPs surgeries have rejected patients that are seen as too problematic. Have you got a cupboard full of useless phone chargers? O2 and HTC plan to sell their phones without the charger included. It's the first step in a bid to eliminate the waste of the 100 million chargers left unused across the UK. Will the single standard charger for all handsets work? From the 1st of October, clamping on private land will no longer be allowed. The AA are warning that cowboy wheel clampers could turn their attention to illegal parking ticket rackets.
