BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Family Finances; Motorhome Investment; Milk Deliveries

The new report revealing the impact the coronavirus pandemic has had on family finances.

Why early morning milk deliveries are more popular than ever.

New research out today suggests families on lower incomes are more likely to have lost their jobs or to have been furloughed this year.  The think-tank the Resolution Foundation looked at how the incomes of six thousand people have been affected - and the results indicate a widening divide between those who are financially secure and those that struggling and are excluded from support.   We'll speak to the  Resolution Foundation and also hear Anna's story - she was on furlough but lost her job a few weeks ago.

We'll investigate why dozens of people who bought second-hand motorhomes from the same company are facing legal demands to hand them over.   We'll hear from Erica who paid over 20 thousand pounds for a motorhome that she's been asked to give to a stranger who claims they really own the vehicle.

And... why milk deliveries to your doorstep are making a big comeback.   We'll hear from Milk and More which has signed up more online customers in the first nine months of 2020, than it did during the whole of 2019.  We'll also speak to Darren who's been a milkman for 35 years about who his new customers are.
