Pain relief, food and farming awards and a water supply with no bills

With Julian Worricker. Nominate your local shop for the Oscars of the food world. Are dementia sufferers being denied pain relief? And an unusual way to avoid paying water rates.

It's the launch of the Oscars of the food world. You and Yours and the Food and Farming Awards are on the hunt for Britain's Best Local Retailer. But we need your nominations.

We'll also hear about a man who was denied pain relief because his dementia meant he couldn't say how he was feeling. How should nurses deal with patients who can't speak for themselves?

And - if you're sick of paying water rates and don't want a water meter - you could have your own bore hole. We'll find out how to do it and if it's worth it?

Presented by Julian Worricker
Produced by Paul Waters.
