Bake Off, University 'incentives', Boarding pass campaign

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Bake Off, University 'incentives', Boarding pass campaign

Can home-baking be cheaper than shop-bought? Plus the incentives offered by universities.

You & Yours meets Bake Off as Winifred Robinson finds out if home-baked is ever cheaper than shop-bought. Plus the universities using cash prizes and laptops to entice students.

You & Yours sets its own Great British Bake Off challenge, to find out if home baking can ever be cheaper than shop bought. Winifred Robinson assists two WI bakers as they take on the Bargain Biscuit challenge.

A-Level pupils get their results this week, setting off the rush for university places. This year universities are no longer restricted on the numbers they can take in, and some are offering lucrative incentives to attract more students. Would a free laptop convince you to enrol?

Plus will you be supporting the campaign to stop airport shops from pocketing your VAT savings? Some passengers say they are going to stop showing their boarding passes when asked at airport shops after discovering the information is being used by stores to save money.

Presented by Winifred Robinson
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.
