Banks and conmen; gambling; Costa Coffee and the way we speak

Duration:
55 minutes
First broadcast:
Thursday 07 February 2013

Winifred Robinson talks about how to change hospital culture. Should the banks stop you if they know you're sending money to conmen? How should we be speaking - with an accent or dialect?
