Travel agents have endured a torrid time throughout the pandemic and although some confidence has returned, many say they face an uncertain future. Most bookings are for 2022 which means most customers have only left deposits rather than paying in full and at the same time many creditors are calling in debts. From this Wednesday a new form of petrol comes to the UK's forecourts which is better for the environment but is incompatible with some older cars - and lawnmowers! We'll have the latest advice for motorists. And people are increasingly getting caught out by being signing up to monthly subscriptions when they buy a product online. The number of complaints to consumer groups about it has grown in the last year, particularly when it comes to booking flights or hotels. We'll tell you what to look out for.
