BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Discounter supermarkets, Pension battles, Mindfulness, Typewriters

Being a supermarket boss, mindfulness in schools, pension woes and old-style typewriters.

What's it like being the boss of Lidl? Also why old-fashioned typewriters are making a comeback, finding a plaster in your coleslaw and is mindfulness in schools a good thing?

We talk to the man who used to run Lidl in the UK and ask him where the discounters go next.

Mindfulness in schools....is it a good thing or just papering over mental health problems in the classroom?

We hear from the man who found a blood-covered plaster in his coleslaw - and what the supermarket DIDN'T do about it....

A former pensions minister tells us what she thinks about the plight of UK pensioners struggling to get hold of their money after moving abroad

And pecking away with two fingers - why old-fashioned typewriters are enjoying a mini-revival

PRESENTER: PETER WHITE

PRODUCER: PETE WILSON

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