John-Paul Davies takes your calls on alcohol prices, Manchester City and 7 Up

The Phone In

Available for 29 days

Do you think that a rise in alcohol prices can help make us all healthier? The minimum price of a unit of alcohol in Wales has increased today from 50p to 65p. According to the Welsh Government, this could prevent more than 900 alcohol-related deaths over the next 20 years. The policy targets cheap, high-strength beverages, and is expected to help nearly 5,000 people cut down on harmful drinking. Manchester City's punishment for breaching Premier League rules should be handed down before the end of this season, senior football figures have told BBC Sport. The Premier League said on Tuesday that City had been found guilty of all charges relating to breaches of its financial regulations between the 2009-10 and 2017-18 seasons. They included artificially inflating revenue by more than £900m through "sham" sponsorship deals. City have repeatedly denied guilt and signalled an intent to lodge an appeal by the end of this week. How do you think Manchester City should be punished? And which moments of your life do you consider have been the most significant? We're asking this because the final instalment of a groundbreaking documentary series has now been released. It all began with Seven Up in 1964 - a programme which featured 14 children aged seven - which then followed them for a new episode every seven years. The final chapter - 70 Up - is now available to view on ITVX, and one of the documentary’s stars, Peter Davies, will join us for a chat. Call or WhatsApp 03700 100 110. Text 8 10 12.
