BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, 12/07/2010

Julian Worricker speaks to the boss of the Co-operative Group Peter Marks.

Julian Worricker speaks to the boss of the Co-op supermarket chain, and, as pianos randomly appear at outdoor locations around the UK, Julian tinkles the ivories with passers-by.

Julian Worricker speaks to the Chief Executive of Britain's fifth biggest supermarket chain. They have at least one store in every post-code, bar one, but how has the Co-op fared in the recession and what impact could the VAT rise have on their customers?

Also - how can you avoid the budget airlines' baggage charges? Could a 17 pocket jacket do the trick - with room for clothes, laptop, toiletries and even food? 

And Julian demonstrates his musical skills on an outdoor piano - part of an art installation that's been travelling the world.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
