Older Renters, Football Shirts, Automatic Cars

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Generation Rent is a term often applied to younger people but a report out today suggests half a million tenants over 50 are also struggling financially. We'll hear from the couple who were evicted from their flat in their 80s. The Americans wouldn't have it any other way but for years the automatic car represented a tiny proportion of the UK market. That's changing though: sales of automatics have soared by 70% in the last decade. But motoring purists say they detract from the driving experience and are really boring to drive. We try to convince our resident petrolhead of their virtues... And should adults be allowed in anywhere other than a football match wearing a football shirt? The man who runs snooker doesn't think so. Barry Hearne got so fed up with seeing people wearing football shirts at the World Snooker Championships currently underway in Sheffield, that's he's banned them. So where IS it acceptable to wear a football shirt? And at what age?
