The war in the Middle East is having a big impact on our farmers - who say the two-week ceasefire aimed at ending the conflict has come too late for this year's growing season. New figures suggest input cost inflation for farmers - that's the measure of materials, fuels and services - is now around seven times higher than it was in January. There's a warning it could drive up food prices for all of us. Farmers, we want to hear from you... Can you afford this war, and how are you coping with rising costs?

More than 80% of tradespeople in the UK report having had tools stolen at some point in their career, with associated costs such as damage, tool replacement and lost work collectively running into the hundreds of millions. A 2023 study by Direct Line business insurance also stated that, on average, a tool was reported stolen every 12 minutes. Have you, or someone you know been impacted by tool theft?

The best coffee shop in Wales has been announced as Coastal Coffee in Barry! On average in the UK, we drink 98 million cups of the stuff a day! So tell me, how do you take yours… And why do we love a coffee so much?
