Disability In The Workplace, Peter Kay Refunds, Pets Versus Family At Christmas

Why some managers are reluctant to hire disabled people. How to get your money back for cancelled Peter Kay gigs. And will you choose a pet over family at the Christmas table?

We ask why some employers are still reluctant to hire people with disabilities.

We hear claims that the government isn't doing enough to encourage older people to downsize to help free up the housing market.

How much will it cost you to see the new Star Wars film? Staying local might not get you the best deal.

If you have bought tickets for the Peter Kay comedy tour, we'll tell you what you need to know to get your money back.

And pets at Christmas... who would you prefer to see beside you at the dinner table this year - your dog or a relative?
