UK Holiday Costs; Truck Driver Shortages; Artificial Grass
How the cost of UK holidays has hit a new high pushing them beyond the reach of many. And, the great plastic grass debate reignites as sales soar.
The cost of UK holidays has hit a new high pushing them beyond the reach of many families this summer. We hear from one mum who says holidays are moving further and further out of reach for people like her and many others like her.
Bob Walker reports on the "perfect storm" in the shortage of HGV drivers and how it could soon lead to shortages on the shelves of supermarkets and price rises.
And is faking it ever a good idea? When it comes to artificial grass increasing numbers of people are deciding the answer is yes. But for others it's an environmental nightmare. We hear from both sides.
