Synopsis
Jeremy discusses the possible closure of two naval shipyards, how to protect yourself from lightning strikes, does your child carry a knife, and people who impersonate war heroes by wearing medals.
Shipyard Closures
Two naval shipyards could shut. We speak to someone who says the government should copy a German scheme where troubled companies get state cash to pay the wages.
Lightning Strikes
The heatwave continues with the threat of thundery showers in some areas. How should you protect yourself from a lightning strike?
Knives
Trading standards officers have called for online knife sales to be banned after a fifteen year old bought a machete on the internet. What should you do if you discover your child carries a knife?
War Medals
We discuss the Walter Mittys who impersonate war heroes by wearing others' medals.
