Dementia village and carp 'cheats'

The innovative 'village' that is revolutionising dementia care in Holland, how to protect your home from floods, and 'unhappy hour' at a Yorkshire pub.

Have the Dutch made a breakthrough in dealing with dementia? An innovative village with supermarkets, squares and accommodation that apes the style of their patients' youth, is causing a stir among experts in care of the elderly. We have a report from the 'dementia village'.

As the summer deluge continues with a months rain expected to fall in a day for the second time in two weeks what simple steps can home owners in flood prone areas take to protect their property and possessions.

As supermarkets stop or slow their development of superstores the convenience store market is enjoying an unprecedented boom. It's doubled in value since the year 2000 and it is expected to grow by 30%in the next five years. It is not all good news for local shops however most of the increase is down to supermarkets opening local versions- so how can the independent trader fight back.

The world of carp fishing is in ferment as some anglers are caught use computers to manipulate photos of their prize catches -"it was how big?"

Holiday makers could face additional charges if they are flying to Spain this summer; the Spanish airport authority has raised the cost for planes landing there; could other economically embattled holiday destinations follow their lead?

We are used to pubs launching happy hours but a pub in Yorkshire has bucked the trend and are running an unhappy hour where customers can unload about what a terrible week they have had with a prize for the best, or should that be, worst tale.
