What's the best bargain you've bagged this recession?

BBC Radio Scotland - Morning Extra, What's the best bargain you've bagged this recession?

We're spending less in the shops; are you cutting back? And your examples of bad English.

We're spending less in the shops; Graham Stewart asks if you're cutting back, or making the most of the sales? Plus, gobbledygook, jargon and legalese: what are your examples of bad English?

Graham Stewart takes your calls, texts and emails.
