BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Artisan bread, nuisance phone calls, black henna tattoos

Unsolicited marketing calls and the risks of black henna tattoos. With Julian Worricker.

Calls for firmer action to reduce the number of unsolicited marketing calls, and the risks of getting a black henna tattoo. Consumer news with Julian Worricker.

Is it time for a crack down on businesses that make unsolicited marketing phone calls and texts?  You and Yours listeners regularly contact the programme to complain about so called "nuisance phone calls".   Registering with the Telephone Preference Service can help, but some people have told us they still receive many unwanted calls.  Every year, thousands of British people get black henna temporary tattoos, often when they are on holiday.  But there is a warning that the tattoos can sometimes go badly wrong, causing blisters, burns and scars.  Baking at home and "artisan bread" is getting more and more popular.  We discover how using a mobile phone can cause delays to train services.
Producer:   Jonathan Hallewell
Presenter:   Julian Worricker.
