Fashion Drops, High Street Flops and Norway's Electric Car Dreams

Consumer affairs. How sellers drum up a frenzy in online fashion stakes. What's going on with the big names on our high streets and Norway gears up for an electric future.

We look at the state of our high streets and what is happening to the big brands. Why are some of them finding it so tough - and is there any sign of a change in fortunes?

Why Norway's streets ahead when it comes to electric cars.

How fashion retailers are creating a clicking frenzy through a "drop."

Are businesses clear enough when it comes to recycling?

What is a debenture and does it guarantee you a ticket?

And more fears over adult social care costs - and why councils could be struggling to meet them.
