More accurate MPG tests; The revival of the classic red phone box

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, More accurate MPG tests; The revival of the classic red phone box

Peter White on more accurate car MPG tests and the rebirth of the old fashioned phone box.

A more accurate test to make sure you better know the MPG achieved by a new car, the risks of investing in crowd funded technology projects, and a new use for the red phone box.

New, more accurate tests are being introduced to tell you how many miles per gallon you might get from a new car. 

The risks and rewards of "crowd funding" - we'll hear how backers are still empty handed, three years after shelling out a hundred thousand pounds.

And the smallest businesses on the high street, setting up shop in old red telephone boxes.

Presenter: Peter White
Producer: Mike Young.

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