New car sales, dying bees, garden centres, and adverts that shock
You and YoursAvailable for over a year
Garden centres are relying on sales of coffees and flapjacks after the coldest March for a century stemmed sales of plants and flowers. We're live at a nursery in Hampshire to find out what it'll take for the hardest-hit businesses to recover. A flight will cost you more now than it did last week - we'll tell you why. Plus the latest figures on new car sales are out; a government report makes controversial suggestions about how to save our bees and why one of the UK's biggest child protection charities is moving away from shock tactics in its adverts. Presenter: Peter White Producer: Simon Browning.
