Rating your solicitor, and your restaurant - we report

Giles Coren adds a new score to his food reviews - sustainability. Is there an appetite? And should solicitors be more open to critical consumer ratings sites?

Solicitors are the latest profession to be up in arms about a website which invites dissatisfied clients to air their grievances online. We examine their complaints and ask whether their methods of dealing with unhappy customers are effective enough anyway.

And why restaurant critic Giles Coren has added a sustainability score to his outspoken reviews.
Plus the posties who deliver some letters against all the odds.
