Suburban Pubs, 91热爆 Proms Tickets, Driving Tests

A recent move, from Heineken, to re-open some suburban pubs is in response to the needs of those working from home. Is this the start of a change in where we spend our money?

The way we work has changed in recent years, more of us are working from home full-time or for a few days a week. So is that changing the way we spend our money, and are businesses taking note? Well in a recent announcement Heineken, who run around 2400 pubs in the UK, said they will be re-open and refurbishing around 60 pubs that are predominantly in suburban areas.
Our reporter, Bob Walker, will be investigating how it鈥檚 not just Heineken that are banking on the revolution in our workplace.

It鈥檚 been a record year for The Proms, with over 100,000 tickets selling online in the first day. For those that missed out on tickets they not only have the disappointment of missing the event, they also have the frustration of tickets appearing on resale sites for hundreds if not thousands of pounds. We鈥檒l be speaking to one music fan that wasn鈥檛 lucky, and also to a ticketing expert who can tell us what needs to be done to prevent this profiting from ticket reselling.

And are you trying to pass your driving test but having to wait a long time for a date to do it? A recent Freedom of Information Request showed that 45% of test centres have similar or worse delays than before the Covid-19 pandemic. We鈥檒l be talking to the CEO of RED Driving School and a driving instructor who has many students ready to take their tests but not slots available for them to take it.
