Cold calls, Designs of show homes, Market deliveries, Car clocking

You and Yours

Available for over a year

We look at cold calls - or more specifically cold calls from a company promising to stop people getting cold calls in the first place. What makes a show-home? We go to a new development to find out what style tips are used to make a new home more appealing. Car-clocking is making a comeback and apparently it's all down to personal leases. We go out on the road with a one-man delivery firm who hopes to help indoor markets stay in touch with the big supermarkets. We hear from a dog owner whose pet died after a long haul flight And as it's a Bank Holiday, we unearth the facts and figures behind out spending habits in the garden.
