Oliver Hides takes your calls on the heatwave, charging children rent and fans.

Are you concerned how unprepared the UK is for extreme weather? Is it ever okay for parents to charge their children rent? And have you managed to get your hands on a fan?

It’s been clear this week that we are not prepared for this weather. Schools have closed, trains are cancelled, and people are not going to work. Mary Gagen, Professor of Geography at Swansea University told BBC Wales that "our infrastructure is absolutely not prepared for this." Are you concerned for how unprepared the UK is for extreme weather?

With the summer holidays approaching, many students will be returning home from university for a summer back at home with the parents. In the UK, nearly half of 25-year-olds now live with their parents, and it’s raised the question – is it ever okay for parents to charge their children rent?

And finally – we’re on a hunt to find fans. They’re selling out left, right and centre. Have you managed to get your hands on one?
