Delivery charges in Scotland, rising bus fares and servicemen barred from pubs
The hidden costs of online shopping in Scotland, why travelling by bus is becoming more expensive, and should servicemen ever be barred from clubs and pubs? With Winifred Robinson.
Online shopping can be good value as well as convenient, but for people living in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland there are some hidden costs. Should it be made illegal to bar serving soldiers, sailors and airmen from pubs and clubs? What will be the benefits of ultra-fast broadband to businesses and schools? Travelling by bus is getting more and more expensive, but what is driving up the cost of bus fares, and is there any chance of prices falling?
Producer: Jonathan Hallewell
Presenter: Winifred Robinson.
