Gambling Commission, Waitrose Reboot and Canal Mooring Fees

You and Yours

Available for over a year

The Gambling Commission will announce new affordability checks to protect problem gamblers. The industry fears any further restriction could damage horse racing and the wider industry. Has the Commission struck the right balance ? Waitrose has been losing grounds to rivals recently. They are planning a re-boot and have signed up celebrity chef Yottam Ottolenghi to help with a new range of spice mixes, sauces and marinades, will it work? The Canal and River Trust are raising the cost of mooring on the UK's waterways. Some river dwellers say they'll struggle to pay and may have to leave their narrow boats, the Trust that its necessary to fund their budget shortfalls and the rising costs of refurbishing and cleaning up canals. Self-storage has never been more popular. We used to use it to lock up furniture and possessions during house moves but times have moved on and we've got creative with self-storage spaces. The charity Guide Dogs for the Blind has seen a big drop in donations since the Pandemic. It has led the CEO to propose staff cuts in an attempt to stave off deficits in future.
