Holiday fires, Ocado, DINKYs,

We hear from people desperately trying to fly back home from Rhodes due to the wildfires in Greece.

Flights are due to land on Rhodes later on today to bring back holidaymakers left stranded by wildfires which have swept the Greek island. British tourists have been sleeping at the airport, in makeshift rescue centres and on the street, after the flames threatened holiday resorts. We hear from two families who had to out run the fire and were housed in rescue centres after spending 拢10,000 on holidays.

How would you react if you'd spent hundreds of pounds on a laptop, but instead received two boxes of Weetabix?

We hear from people living that DINKY life.

Ocado鈥檚 Chief Executive has admitted its tie-up with Marks & Spencer has been a disappointment so far.
