Christmas Coaches, Million Dollar Lover and the Rise of Craft

BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Christmas Coaches, Million Dollar Lover and the Rise of Craft

The coach companies cashing on rail misery this Christmas.

The coach companies cashing on rail misery this Christmas. Listeners reflect on a year of coping with high inflation and the boom in markets, why we are going crazy for craft.

It has been a tough year for rail with continuing strikes and more commuters than expected still working from home, at least some of the time,  but coach travel is booming and they are looking forward to a bumper festive period. We speak to the brand leader and a new entrant.

Young people are going crazy for craft and handmade and its fuelling a boom in' maker's markets' and craft fairs. 

This year has seen sustained high rates of inflation. Throughout it all we have been speaking to you about that. Three listeners tell us about that and give us their take on the prospects for the coming year.

Christmas treats may start to appear in the supermarket  these days hours after Halloween  but they've been a long time in the making we speak to supermarket chefs about creating their Christmas range of food.

What will be hot, or not, next year. Pinterest, the syle, food and design platform, where billions of people search every year for inspiration, thinks it knows.  They have crunched the data and European Managing Director Louise Richardson will be with us to explain why 'Jelly Fish' and Grandad are trends you should be 'on'!

Most of us  would like to be wealthy but when you are older holding a huge fortune can make you a target for the unscrupulous. The new BBC Sounds Podcast, Million Dollar Lover,  poses such questions and we'll be hearing from UK lawyer Ann Stanyer who specialises in inheritance. She  has written about a book,  'How to Spot Abuse of an Elderly Client.
