E-Cigarettes, £3000 of Wi-Fi, Buying Titles

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, E-Cigarettes, £3000 of Wi-Fi, Buying Titles

The cost of e-cigarettes when regulations change, plus the pitfalls of buying a title.

Will e-cigarettes cost more when regulations change? Peter White finds out. Plus the mobile device that racked up a £3,000 bill in three days and the pitfalls of buying a title.

As e-cigarettes have become more popular, concerns have been raised about their contents. The European Commission has ruled that anyone selling them by 2016 must be able to show exactly what's in it. But will the extra regulations mean extra cost?

A civil servant living in London denies using more than 110GB in three days this January. But Vodafone says Lucy Hayes must pay the almost £3000 bill she racked up within ten days of buying the mobile wifi device.

Plus the man who tried to buy himself a noble title. Some websites charge people thousands of pounds to call themselves the Lord or Lady of the Manor, but are the titles worth anything more than the paper they are printed on?

Presented by Peter White
Produced by Natalie Donovan.

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