1:31 am
correspondent has more. and campaigner and three years ago i walked 2000 miles around great britain. checking out but paying nothing, millions of us are now opting to spread the pain of a purchase. some of the biggest online stores now what you do, right, is you put one given a choice to delay payment for foot in front of the other an extra few weeks. no extra fees, for a period of time and your whole body, and with next to no checks. your arms, face, all of it, goes exactly where you want unsurprisingly, it is a popular it to go. click with shoppers. so let's get shopping. i don't think the scheme the feeling of sadness just goes is great, because you could get and i feel on top of the world. stuck for money, and you think i fantastic! i went through a mental health crisis point, don't really want this for an event i guess, working on a job that i felt pressure to perform well at, thatis don't really want this for an event that is coming up, but i know i can mismanaging my stress be paid at the end of the month and with poor lifestyle choices, i have enough money to stretch. be paid at the end of the month and i have enough money to stretchm is making us feel like we get more and crucially, not giving myself ofa is making us feel like we get more of a deal, and it is bringing them the things in life that i need more money. if you are sensible and to balance me out. responsible and you keep up with your finances, then why not? we find things like nature, exploring, out that payments to the biggest adventure, these sorts of things. the idea to walk around the whole three companies have nearly doubled of great britain came in the last year. retailers are about because i felt like i needed a part of my day, for me to be in control of it, basically, so i decided to do seeing the average order value all of the national parks.
1:32 am
uplift. people are spending more, then, because they can spread the payments. the average order value i bought a map and started circling are significantly higher as a result these amazing parts of britain, natural britain, that i thought of paying by label, yes. most of would maybe influence or inspire how travelling can help when you are feeling blue, people to get outside. and rajan gets stuck these companies have been operating in, saudi style. for a few extra years down under, so this is great, no the australian regulator has published this big review, and they found that 60% of customers are idea what i'm doing. under 3a, and that some customers ijust put a big line through them can become financially overcommitted so don't go away. all, then there was a route of 3000 because of it. the financial conduct miles from brighton to brighton, authority here have told me they a lap of great britain, don't regulate any firms not and i set off two months later. charging interest, but they are monitoring the markets. debt i am watching a couple of guys play pelota, charities are already concerned a basque game here in spain. it wasn'tjust this big exciting adventure the whole time, customers aren't being given enough there were times i struggled. they are giving it some welly, yesterday, i think i'm whacking that ball. going to write it off. information. we want to ensure that i'm about to have a go, the people who are using these not sure how good i'll be ijust woke up in the morning products know the terms and but so far, i'm feeling confident. 00:02:55,357 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 hi, guys, how's it going? conditions they are signing up to. if you don't know when the payment feeling really anxious terms are going to kick in, or what charges and fees may be associated about everything, and i couldn't with it, you can't be making a wise really shake it all day. anxiety, man, it is choice. not keeping up with a pain in the arse. it is so irrational. repayments can damage your credit you cannot apply logic,
1:33 am
rating, and with customer numbers when you are feeling like that. growing so quickly, it is a problem that could increase. you can try, but the anxiety is like no, wrong, you're not and now it is time for the travel going to be fine, you're going to get killed and no one show. this week i'm in san sebastian. is going to find you. spain's culinary hotspot, which, you know, shut up, anxiety! tasting my way through all of the pinxtos, and finding out how before you know it you are consumed to pay back a local. aupa! by all these negative emotions. we hear about the positive effects of travel on our mental health. i am feeling on top of the world. and that's something that can happen when you are travelling. fantastic! the way to get around that is to try and rajan is in saudi arabia, exploring jeddah's historic not to beat yourself up district. for having those feelings. those sorts of feelings can extend where you are geographically, you will have to deal with them wherever you are. for me personally, i feel i'm sort of blessed with a sense of adventure that, i thrive on new experiences, and so travelling, for me, itjust makes sense to do. finally, we are in the red sea port
1:34 am
ofjeddah, the gateway san sebastian, the basque country's holiday playground, tucked away up here on the bay of biscay. it's really stunning. to saudi arabia's holy city there are three beaches of mecca and medina. with coastal hiking trails, but what people really come here for is the food. last year the authorities relax travel restrictions making a visit this northern spanish city holds one to this part of the rod much easier. of the highest numbers of michelin stars per square metre in the world rajan has been exploring and they also claim to have the most bars per person, so this place what the kingdom has to offer. sounds right up my street! and the basque people have their own way of eating, too. it has been a fishing village it is all about pinxtos. since the sixth century then a major red sea trading post but today my guide to the pinxtos jeddah is the second biggest port in the arab world and saudi arabia's scene is luis. commercial capital. he grew up in san sebastian wonder into the historic and he runs pinxto food tours. district and you will find so this is my first time trying pinxtos. centuries of intrigue. how does it all work? pinxtos is our tradition, the way to socialise and make friends, changing very quick, from one bar to another, one bar, one drink, one pinxto. the old city was a thriving then you are inside. multicultural centre with distinctive architecture.
1:35 am
some homes and mosques date as far back as the seventh century. so i can see a lot of food. if i could play backgammon i'd be it all looks really good, but what's going on? admiring every move, well, there are a lot of possibilities. but these guys, i think they know on the counter, we have the fresh pinxtos. what they are doing. and if you follow the black bars, we have the warm food. jeddah is different is the motto the warm pinxtos. of the city, and the coral stone is built into the fabric of the old city's buildings and walls testify to that. and this is all made today, daily? very, very fresh. and maybe in 20 minutes, half an hour. they need to renew the pinxtos that you can see on the counter because it is always full of people, today as part of its grand vision 2030 programme, saudi is attempting to become an appealing tourist destination and it is very, very fresh. and the restoration of old jeddah is central to those plans. jeddah has always been as a tourist who comes to san sebastien not really sure how attractive to immigrants, pinxtos works, explain, what are the rules? first, go with the locals go. second rule is one bar, both for the hajj and work, one drink, one pinxto. and people from yemen the third rule, asked and east african countries make the waiter for the speciality. for a vibrant and bustling street. because every week, it changes. they change the pinxtos, sammy is the director of the programme and it has and it is very interesting, been his mission to revive the area. you ask the waiter which is
1:36 am
the speciality, today. now, you are so passionate yourself about the rejuvenation of this area, but recently an undercover the preservation of the history. investigation by a localjournalist why? caught some pinxto bars double pricing. because first of all i am local. two tourists went out and ordered the exact same dishes as two locals, who ordered in the basque language. i am, this generation of my family house, and my grandfather moved from another family in jeddah, so i grew up and i live and i had a great life injeddah and this is one of my reasons for my passion of the old city ofjeddah. over the night, the tourists paid about nine euros more. the experiment was conducted twice sammy even drove a taxi around here, in the same month at seven of the old town's pinxto bars. so, let's talk about that investigation. picking up tourists, got to talk about it. how did the locals react to that? partly to improve his english. yeah, i think it's interesting to have this information, because locals, we can hear these but the decline started in the 60s bar staff make a different price for locals and tourists, no? for us, is very important and 70s when the oil economy started to give the best service. not only for locals but for booming and people moved out travellers from around the world. to modern houses in newer, bigger urban areas. so very few people still live via? most of the pinxto bars very few. what is the aim? how do you want this
1:37 am
are in the old town. city to look and 20, 30 years time? in fact, there are more we are working on a master plan than 200 to pick from, which can be a little overwhelming, to protect the city, but it all becomes clear to encourage people to come, when you have someone to explain how it works. to bring students from university ok, so talk to me about pricing. to live here, you also, there is a lot of land from the sea i can see prices on the board here but not here, so how back fit, we want to take that does it work? feeling out and bring the sea to the facade of the city, as it was, 50 years ago, but also we have to be careful, you can see this on the counter that you can take by yourself, or we have waiting, the waiter. and you can pick one, it doesn't become... two or three, whatever you want. you can say to the waiter, how many pinxtos you have eaten you come and visit my house and pay for that. and maybe you have some surprise. i would be delighted to thank you. the streets are quite narrow so sammy uses a golf buggy to wend his way around. sammy knows everybody here. so people can come in, they don't need to wait to be noo! served, they can take the food think you do. and based on this trust system you pay for what you have eaten you can also rent them if you come and drank and then you leave. yes, because normally the people to this neighbourhood and you prefer
1:38 am
is very honest and it is not not to walk in the heat. normally like, in big cities especially, no? i've never come across a system like this before, yeah. very trustworthy. do you like doing that? actually, this is not quite his house. it used to be the old royal residence and is now a cultural also it is easy for the waiters, because the price normally heritage site, but sammy, is the same for all of the pinxtos, sammy's family are the custodians, you say three euros for three, and he has the key. it is nine euros. pinxtos isn't all about the old town and tradition. luis takes me to meet a chef who is putting a modern twist you can hear the evening call on it all. to prayer now, echoing from all of the buildings around us. it is an incredible effect, it is coming at you from all angles, and it is really kind he speaks spanish. of beautiful music. so, sammy, that wasn't the surprise, was it? that was one of the surprises. we have another one waiting for you downstairs.
1:39 am
what is it? we will see! 0k, what is this? this is the surprise. it is a dance that is local gracias. to our area and we hope all in one? 0k. 00:09:23,069 --> 2147483051:41:26,250 before i leave, luis took me to one 2147483051:41:26,250 --> 4294966103:13:29,430 of his favourite places and has one you will participate with us and danced together and play the drums, if you are a very good musicians. i wouldn't say that, but i can play the drums. this is very old arabic. it comes from ancient music. i have a feeling this is harder to play than it looks, do you have someone who can show me? first, you bang this together, and you close it, you close your fingers. and another one, you present it like that. and then... as is tradition, when the music
1:40 am
like this place, people are invited to come and listen. this time we have got some visiting tourists. i don't know what i'm doing, but no ones seems to notice. all they are being polite! as you can tell, i didn't escape the dancing, if that is what you want to call it. thankfully, another tourist took my spot. i'm much happier in the background banging the drum! that's all we've got time for, today, butjoin us next week when... we are on the slopes of mount etna, one of the world's most active volcanoes.
1:41 am
i'm meeting the people who live and work alongside some truly terrifying geological forces. so do join us for that, but until then from me and the rest of the travel show team in san sebastian, it is goodbye. hello. sunny skies are on the way back but it is going to feel colder. there will be showers and it will be windy. it all follows a spell of rain on sunday, low pressure making things very changeable again after high pressure, which may have kept us dry but certainly recently it has given us these grey, gloomy skies, and it did again on saturday.
1:42 am
sunday starts without a frost, dry across the east except for the odd shower. what in the west. the rain from this waterfront moving east to west across the uk on sunday. behind that wet weather we are in the blue. this is the colder air coming in. within that there will be sunny skies to start the new week, it also showers, cold enough of those to be wintry in places, as we will see in a moment. let's follow the progress of sunday's rain. thickly out of northern ireland, pushing through scotland in the morning. the sunshine comes after the rain. it should clear northern england, wales, the west of england into the afternoon. turns a bit brighter there. still there to end the afternoon across east anglia and south—west england. so maybe not at this stage to verify southeast. wintry on hills in scotland. a windy day. as the rain it turns colder, so that combined with the wind will make a chillier feeling to things during sunday afternoon, despite the fact the sunshine reappears in places. with that cold our showers move east on sunday night. we focus on northern ireland, northern england and scotland, because here some of those showers will follow snow and hills, relatively modest hills, and quite low levels across some
1:43 am
parts of scotland. a few centimetres in places possible. ice on untreated services going into monday morning, so don't get caught out by that. wonder we have some sunshine and eastern areas are staying dry, showers the best, heavy and thunder in places, risk of hail. wintry across northern hills. a bright but blustery day for many of us. again, that wind is a factor in making for a colder feeling two things compare to recently. 10 degrees for some of us across the far south—east but not bitterly cold out there. low pressure in charge for the rest of the week, initially pulling in these showers, windy throughout the week, we'll take a look at what they're expecting is the week goes on. very different compared to what we have had, a cold start to the week, son and showers, some of those winter, particularly in the northern hills, windy throughout the week, close to low pressure but by the end of the week, it is still windy and wet at times, it is still windy and wet at times, it is still windy and wet at times, it is going to be a bit wilder so
1:44 am
followed as temperatures and upward trend. towards the end of the week.
