INSIDE OUT NOVEMBER 30th 1930 BBC ONE EAST
Pills and potions that mimic illegal drugs like cocaine ecstacy and cannabis are offered for sale openly on the high street in ever increasing numbers. Gill Gauntlett – a parent of 3 teenagers, investigates the sale of these so called “legal highs” and is surprised by what she finds. Vendors commonly sell the products as “plant feeders” or “bath salts” in the belief that this will get them round the law, but as Gill discovers, this isn’t the case.
As more of us take to our bikes to cut costs and our carbon footprints, Julie Reinger takes to the streets of Cambridge to discover why the relationship between 2 wheels and 4 is often not a happy one.

Walls are heavily insulated with highly efficient natural materials and are strong enough to withstand earthquakes.
