PCR Tests; Pantries and Larders; Frozen Bank Accounts

You and Yours

Available for over a year

Complaints about the system for delivering two and ten day PCR tests for travellers are mounting. The private testing system is described as being like the wild west with consumers left in the dark over pricing, not receiving tests and unable to contact providers when there is a problem. Nigella has one - should you? Larders and pantries are making a comeback in our homes but what is the difference? NatWest customers have joined those from some other App-only banks complaining about their accounts being frozen with no explanation, with complaints taking days or even weeks to resolve. The sculptors who spend much of their working day trying to get rid of fake adverts for their work that keep popping up on some of then globe's biggest online marketplaces like Facebook, Amazon and Alibaba. The government say they'll make it easier to sue builders who've fitted dangerous cladding and for shoddy work . But people trapped in homes they cannot sell because of such problems are sceptical that it will make much difference to their plight. Presenter: Winifred Robinson Producer: Lydia Thomas
