Old Energy Meters, Eurostar, Big Brother's Furniture

You and Yours

Available for over a year

At the end of June, a certain type of electricity meter - called an RTS meter - will stop working properly. Ofgem says people's heating might not switch on, or else it will stay on permanently. Energy companies are meant to be making sure everyone who has one gets upgraded to a smart meter in time - but are they going to miss the deadline? We'll ask them. Also on the programme, another story of parking ticket misery - this time a 50p dispute that ended up in court - but is a statutory code of conduct for the industry getting closer? We hear about problems with orders from the furniture outlet that supplies the Celebrity Big Brother house, and how Eurostar's absence from its old terminals in Kent is affected local businesses. PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON PRODUCER: TOM MOSELEY
