Jennifer Jones takes your calls on drinking at football matches, 'S' plates for older drivers and place names

Should fans be allowed to drink alcohol in the stands during men’s football matches? Should older drivers have S plates? And what’s the story behind the place where you live?

Should fans be allowed to drink alcohol in the stands during men’s football matches? The Prime Minister Andy Burnham has branded the current ban on drinking as "discrimination". Laws are in place which prevent drinking in view of the pitch at many games in Wales and England. These include international matches, and club football games in the top five tiers of men's football in England. Other sports do not face such a restriction. However, the Principality Stadium in Cardiff introduced an alcohol free zone for international rugby following an initial trial in 2018.

An increasing number of drivers in France are sticking an 'S' plate on their vehicles, which stands for senior citizen. They’re not a legal requirement, but many older drivers in France are using them in the hope that other drivers will be more sympathetic to them on the roads. Do you think ‘S’ plates would work in this country?

And the rural village of Northop Hall will officially change its name to Pentre Moch - literally translated as Pigs Village. The name dates back to at least the 17th century, because the Flintshire village was established around a pig farm. What’s the story behind the place where you live?
