Self interest is the name of the game, and our little black speck on the map really doesn matter to Britain. (BANKER. BARBADOS) We must accept that economies today are closely interlinked and there is no way one can break away from past holdings.
(MINISTER. KENYA)
With almost half Britain's exports concentrated on Europe, trade with the Commmonwealth has become marginal. Nick Clarke asks are our politicians and businessmen doing enough to cash in on the legacy of the past? Or do we have to concede more territory to the Americans and Japanese every year?

Of the 10,000 people who give up work to go into retirement every week in Britain, it's estimated that only a handful will have been given any proper advice or made any advance preparation for the dramatic change in circumstances that they face. In this special programme
Marjorie Lofthouse looks at the three main areas of available advice - wealth, health and leisure - offering a guide to all you need to know about retiring. The second part of the programme is a phone-in with Bill Bruce, Director of the Pre-Retirement Association, a medical specialist, and Clare Rogers of the Citizens Advice Bureau answering listeners' questions.

A magazine programme for and about disabled people. Could you give a loving home to a diabetic child - a 9-year-old girl who has already shown that fostering improves her health and well-being? She has fewer medical visits to make, her attendance at school is better and she's quite accomplished at netball and swimming.
