BBC Radio 4 - You and Yours, Disposable Income, Second-Hand Cars, Global Moving Systems

The average household now has ten per cent more disposable income. What is it spent on?

The average household has 10 per cent more to spend on treats. Plus more people complain to Citizens Advice about second-hand cars than anything else. Winifred Robinson presents.

Families had an extra £17 a week to spend on treats last month compared with a year ago. The report compiled for Asda says that's 10% more than in April 2014 - and according to economists we may now be on the cusp of a big spend. So what will we spend our money on?

Citizens Advice says more people complain about problems with second hand cars in England and Wales than anything else. Winifred Robinson speaks to a man who was sold a Ford Focus with a new MOT, but which has had problems.

Plus the international removal company that closed up shop more than six months ago. When will its customers get their possessions back?

Presented by Winifred Robinson
Produced by Natalie Donovan.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
