BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, 11/03/2011

Hotel inspector Ruth Watson; ebook lending limits; Lego profits and footy shirt refunds.

Hotel inspector Ruth Watson on dilapidated country piles; a US publishers' decision to limit ebook lending, and how Irish cricket plans to capitalise on its recent success.

Why a decision by a major global publisher to limit the number of times libraries in the US can lend out ebooks is concerning UK librarians. 

The young football fan who's received a refund on his replica shirt after suing his club.

And Ruth Watson, the Hotel Inspector, is back with a new series of Country House Rescue and she's on a mission to save our country piles from ruin, one reluctant owner at a time. Peter talks to her about why we're still obsessed with how the other half lives and how Britain's hotels can improve.

The presenter is Peter White. The producer is Kathryn Takatsuki.

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