Ofcom review, Selling Barbara, Half-bottles of wine

Available for over a year

New tougher rules are being set out by the communications regulator Ofcom, to raise the standards of phone companies. Some have been criticised for failing to deal adequately with complaints, making mistakes on bills and for how they treat their vulnerable customers. The new regulations will be introduced from October 2018. We ask if consumers will notice a difference. Some of the UK's biggest charities have been criticised for selling their donor's personal information. We hear from 90 year old Barbara Smith who has been looking into the way her details were shared by charities. She will soon be presenting her investigation in a new Radio 4 documentary, Selling Barbara. The supermarket Waitrose is offering a new range of wines sold in half-sized bottles. They say the bottles will provide the equivalent of two large glasses and be ideal for couples enjoying a "midweek evening meal". Could it really help people to drink less during the week?
