Vineyard Tourism; Disconnected Customers; Loose Clothing
As the reputation of English wine grows, can vineyards become tourist attractions?
The regulator, Ofcom, has told You and Yours it's going to look again at whether companies are treating their customers fairly, particularly those who are most vulnerable. In the last few weeks, the programme, has been inundated with complaints from people who've been cut off from their broadband and phone because of mistakes by their providers. The complaints have mostly come from relatives and friends of sick and elderly people who've come to us as a last resort. We hear from some of our listeners about the problems they've faced and also speak to Lindsey Fussell, Ofcom's Network and Communications Group Director.
The vineyards of the great wine producing countries have long been tourist attractions in their own right - usually situated in stunning countryside such as the Loire Valley or the hills of Tuscany. As the reputation of English wine continues to grow, we examine whether our own vineyards have the same potential. Our reporter, Bob Walker, visits one in Sussex and another in Derbyshire.
We look at the popularity of loose clothing as we continue to ease out of lockdown. Experts say he big bright dress will be a post-lockdown fashion staple with a focus on loose, lightweight frocks perfect for dancing. 鈥淏reezeable鈥, 鈥渧oluminous鈥 and 鈥渇orgiving鈥 are some of the terms designers are using for the loose, midi-length style, dresses being tipped to sell well this summer. We speak to the fashion commentator, Amber Graafland, and the fashion historian, Amber Butchart.
