Kaye asks whether you expect your politicians to be squeaky clean.

It has been quite a week for MPs - Eric Joyce has been arrested and Chris Huhne is now in jail. Kaye asks whether people should expect politicians to be squeaky clean.

Eric Joyce has been arrested, Chris Huhne is now in jail - it's been quite a week for MPs. But should we expect our politicians to be squeaky clean?

A year ago Devonshire couple Jim and Joanne Bell turned off their Bungalow's heating, furious at the cost of their increasing gas bill. Instead they opted for multiple layers, woolly hats, hot water bottles and cuddling the dog to keep warm and they reckon they have saved £800 for their efforts. Could you live a pleasant life without heat or are you a hot house flower unable to cope without radiators on full and an electric blanket? It's all very well down on the Channel coast but if you are fit and healthy, could you stick a Scottish winter without heat? Kaye asks if there is anything wrong with a cold house?

And researchers in the US say cows can in fact predict the weather and lying down may actually be a sign of rain after all. Kaye speaks to a dairy farm in his field to hear how his beasts react to the elements.

So if this old wives' tale may in fact have some truth to it, Kaye wants to know what others you've been fed over the years and if you still believe them!
