BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Supermarket Workers, Dress Up to Stay In, Green Homes Grant

How does pay at supermarkets compare to other jobs?

How does pay at supermarkets compare to other jobs? And dress up to stay in - a way to brighten another evening at home in front of the TV.

The supermarket chain Morrisons recently announced it would pay all staff a minimum of £10 an hour - the first supermarket to do so. We look at how pay and conditions at supermarkets compare with other sectors. If you've been stacking shelves during the pandemic tell us what it's been like - email youandyours@bbc.co.uk.
Do you dress up to stay in? We speak to the musician and BBC presenter Anna Lapwood, who donned one of the ballgowns she usually wears for performances for a night in front of the TV. Her post online got a reaction with other musicians doing the same. Have you dressed up to brighten another evening at home? 
You & Yours investigates complaints of delays with the Green Homes Grant scheme. Homeowners and installers have reported waiting months for a voucher - without one work cannot start. The industry say it's caused all work to dry up. We also hear from an installer who has completed their first Green Homes Grant job, but has no idea when he'll be paid. 
Presented by Winifred Robinson.
Produced by Beatrice Pickup.
