The Covid Realities Project which is tracking low incomes families throughout the pandemic has highlighted the rising cost of school uniforms as being a big worry for parents. The only cruises set to sail this year are travelling around the UK only. We speak to the boss of one of the biggest companies, Princess Cruises, about a challenging year. Why Nike is cracking down on "backdooring" - which is when staff quietly offer trainers to resellers before everyone else gets the chance to buy them. John Lewis reports sales of decanters are increasing- have we become increasingly fancy about our alcoholic beverages during the pandemic? And many of us have had the text from Royal Mail asking us to pay a delivery charge- it's a scam. We find out what the criminals do if you respond.
