Probate Delays, Funeral Streaming Scam and Lab-grown Gemstones

Available for over a year

The time taken to get a grant of probate is coming down but not for everyone. If you apply online and don't make mistakes it can be no more than three weeks but if there are complications and it is conducted on paper it'll take a lot longer; why is that? Animals have always been popular online. In the beginning animal memes and pictures drove masses of engagement but as some find the online world to be a more unpleasant space, new 'kinder' platforms are springing up. Like Kelp Social. What is it and can it thrive in a world where anger drives traffic and online income. Today is Blue Monday. apparently the unhappiest day of the year. Can that be true? Can't afford a diamond? How about one grown in a laboratory. They are cheaper, more sustainable and there are no worries about exploitation in their production but are laboratory grown gems really a substitute for the real thing dug out of the ground? The criminals stealing money off online mourners with fake funeral service streaming. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: KEVIN MOUSLEY
