Do you have a question or dilemma you want to put to Mat, Liz and the talk show team?
Has something been bugging you for years about disability that you want answers to? Perhaps you're about to go on a blind date with an able-bodied person and want to know how to get over the (inevitable) awkwardness? Or maybe your colleague keeps asking silly questions about what's wrong with you and you want ideas on how to deal with him or her? You've come to the right place. Use the below form to email us. We have all the answers; they're not always any good but we have answers.
Questions and comments are very welcome and, for a limited period, if you get your email read out on air, we'll send you some Ouch! tat in the post. This could be anything from a T-shirt to a mug or even one of our hilarious Blue Badge(r) posters.
You can also use this form if you want to be a contestant on Vegetable Vegetable or Vegetable, the world famous disability parlour game gone wrong.
