Christmas lobster, Legal highs

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Christmas lobster, Legal highs

Why the supermarkets think people will be eating lobster this Christmas.

Consumer affairs with Winifred Robinson. Why the supermarkets think people will be eating lobster this Christmas. Plus the attempts to ban legal highs.

Supermarkets are already getting ready for Christmas, and this year they're banking on customers buying lobster.
They've already ordered stocks and we'll hear more about where they come from and how they're fished.

More about the borough of London, which is to become the first in the capital to implement a legal highs ban. Lambeth is getting ready to bring it in on the 17th August. The move essentially bans the use and supply of legal highs in public areas across the whole borough and means anybody caught breaching the new order could face a fine.

The new man at the top of BHS tells us what he's doing to try and turn around the store's fortunes, after it was sold for £1.

Presenter: Winifred Robinson
Producer: Jess Quayle.

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