Will you miss the bendy bus?

After a decade of moving people around London, this weekend saw the final journey of one of this country's most controversial travel solutions. The bendy bus has been taken off London's roads for good. (more about bendy buses...)

We need bigger penalties for top bankers

In perhaps the understatement of the year, the headlines about the FSA's report into the failure of RBS said that it was caused by 'multiple poor decisions'. So should bankers be held accountable when they fail? (more about bankers...)

Why do banks have to play credit card tricks?

As a credit card user, it feels like the bank always wins whatever you do. I’m fed up with 0% deals, repayment systems and interest calculations that entice customers in and then hit them with unexpected costs. (more about credit card tricks...)

Which car will drive you wild in 2012?

With 2011 drawing to a close, the Which? Car team is looking to next year and the cars we can’t wait to get behind the wheels of. Will you agree with our choices or are there other cars you’re more excited about? (more about cars of 2012...)

The text is under threat of being deleted… for good

It's estimated that 1.5 billion text messages are sent each week in Britain. But with new apps offering free instant message services and networks working on a replacement, how long can the trusty SMS survive? (more about the end of the text...)

Skiing holidays – do you love them or loathe them?

Whenever a conversation amongst friends gets round to the topic of skiing holidays, there seems to be a Marmite moment – people either love or hate them. So which camp are you in, and how do you get a good deal? (more about the love of skiing...)

How green is your fish?

According to research from Canada's University of Victoria, if it's Atlantic salmon from Marks & Spencer, it’s not very green. The uni ranked M&S’s eco-label second to last in its study of sustainable farmed fish schemes. (more about fish eco-labels...)

This week in comments – tips, emails and the NHS

Is an automatic tip really a tip? Have you struggled to find emails on company websites? And will you share your NHS medical records with private companies? You’ve debated these topics and more this week. (this week in comments...)

Vox pops: Will energy prices force you to cutback this Xmas?

This week we were out on the streets asking people whether energy prices were having an affect on their Christmas. And we want to hear from you too – what are you cutting back on this Christmas? (more about your Christmas cutback...)

What would it take for you to complain about a restaurant?

Poor service? Cold food? Food poisoning? My recent rodent experience forced me to take action and call Environmental Health, but maybe I should have just checked the restaurant's hygiene rating beforehand? (more about complaining in restaurants...)

Ditch the surprise, tell them what you want for Christmas

I've been researching Christmas spending habits and I’ve noticed a discrepancy between what we want and what we get. ‘Bah humbug!’ I hear you cry, but shouldn’t we be more open about the gifts we’d like? (more about pre-Christmas chats...)

Will higher air taxes stop you flying?

It’s no early April Fools' joke. The Treasury has confirmed that, from 1 April, tax on flying out of the UK will rise by well above the rate of inflation. Will this make you less likely to fly abroad in 2012? (more about air tax rises...)
