Booze, Building and Old Bangers

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Booze, Building and Old Bangers

The end of Dry January, getting an MOT, building your home your own way.

Does the end of Dry January mean people will binge in February? Why are MOTs on hold in Northern Ireland, and why self-build homes people feel trapped by their councils.

With the end of Dry January, we ask whether those who abstained will feel forced into drinking more in February to make up for it.

People who want to build their own homes tell us why they feel hemmed in by their local councils.

There's a backlog of 74,000 MOTs in Northern Ireland after equipment at test centres was condemned. So what does that mean for motorists - and can you drive without one?

And if you've managed to stick to your 2020 diet so far - are you doing the right one? We talk to an expert who hopes to find the right way.

PRESENTER: WINIFRED ROBINSON

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.
