Good evening and welcome to Monday's Points West. In our | :00:10. | :00:13. | |
headlines tonight: Teetering on the edge - the cement | :00:13. | :00:16. | |
lorry that crashed through two sets of barriers, narrowly avoiding the | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
drop. Why a Christian group in Bath is | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
forced to remove the claim that "God heals" from its advertising. | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
Plus - it's all about the money. The new currency for Bristol | :00:29. | :00:37. | |
that'll keep the cash local. And I am in Bath at a new | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
exhibition telling the journey from these baggy beige this to the high- | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
tech swimsuit. -- baggy beige in suits. | :00:47. | :00:53. | |
First, a rush hour drama unfolded in Bristol this morning as a lorry | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
was left hanging over the edge of the River Avon 50ft below. No one | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
was injured in the crash in Bedminster but a car driver told | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Points West for the cement mixer only narrowly avoided hitting | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
pedestrians before smashing into safety railings. | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
As far as lucky escapes go, this was a big one. The cement mixer was | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
coming off a roundabout when it hit the back of a car, mounted the kerb | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
on the opposite side of the road, crashed through one set of railings | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
and was smashed by a second -- stopped by a second. As the lorry | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
was carefully moved to safety, it became even clearer how disaster | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
had been only inches away. You can see on hear just how close | :01:36. | :01:40. | |
the cement mixer came to going over the edge. The bottom of the rains | :01:40. | :01:45. | |
have been sheered off altogether. It was empty at the time but have | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
the police -- but the police said had it been full, it could have | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
taken it into the river. It unfolded at 9:15am. According to | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
the car driver, the cement mixer only just missed a mother and child | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
walking along the pavement, as well as another man. It has been very | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
fortunate. It could have been a lot worse. It came very close to going | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
over the edge and dropping down to the water's edge. Fortunately, the | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
barrier stopped it. It took over two of hours to recover the lorry. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
The police want to speak to anyone who saw what happened. This is just | :02:23. | :02:27. | |
the start of what could be an important investigation. | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
In other news, a Wiltshire-based Chris Huhne group banned from | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
claiming back praying for people can heal them. -- Christian group. | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
The organisation Healing On The Streets was told adverts on its | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
website and in leaflets were misleading. A woman from Bradford | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
complain to the Advertising Standards Authority after she was | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
given a leaflet claiming God could heal outside Bath Abbey. We are | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
bringing Jesus to the streets of Bath. This is Paul Belton, | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
promoting healing on the streets. - - Paul Skelton promoting Healing On | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
The Streets. But not everyone agrees with the group. One local | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
woman felt so strongly about what the group was saying that she | :03:18. | :03:20. | |
complained to the Advertising Standards Authority. 24-year-old | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Hayley Stevens, who suffered a life-threatening condition when | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
younger, thought that claims that the group could make ill people | :03:28. | :03:36. | |
better were it not responsible for substantiated. Someone who is very | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
vulnerable and did not know they would have been able to have | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
surgery and get better could buy into something which could lead to | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
a dangerous outcome for them. I am aware that these claims can provide | :03:48. | :03:53. | |
false hope. The Advertising Standards Authority upheld Keighley | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
Stevens' complains and told Healing On The Streets not to advertise on | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
the streets. It also told the Greek to change the wording on their | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
leaflet from God can heal today to we believe God can heal today. But | :04:10. | :04:17. | |
the group says they will not be put off. I do not think you can stop | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
people praying for people because of his ruling. It is clear that God | :04:21. | :04:29. | |
can heal. Are they claiming that you cannot promote the Bible? | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
subject of whether prayer and healing actually work is of course | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
a difficult and for many a very personal question. A lobster DIS of | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
patients undergoing Haas surgery in the United States said four years | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
ago -- a large study of patients undergoing surgery in the United | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
States found that those who were not prayed for work just as likely | :04:48. | :04:54. | |
to come through the surgery. Dr Rafa and Sarah Hartley is a priest | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
at refrained abbey but also a GP. - - reverends. I have seen what a | :05:02. | :05:06. | |
powerful affect the mind can have on the body. I can see how people | :05:06. | :05:13. | |
may think that healing is due just to this action. But If also seen, | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
as a Christian, people so I have witnessed he link in response to | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
prayer. So it comes down to a matter of belief. Healing On The | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
Streets, though, say they will appeal against the decision and | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
continue they were. -- continue their work. | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
Is there anything wrong with advertises something which is based | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :05:53. | ||
on religious belief rather than We will share as many of your views | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
as began before the end of the A Gloucestershire charities morning | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
more people will become homeless under Government plans to cap the | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
amount of housing benefit. The numbers applying for housing in the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
County crew last year as the recession bit. It's a challenged | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
the stereotypical view of those who face losing the roof over their | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
head. The traditional view of | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
homelessness, rough sleeping in doorways and subways, begging to | :06:24. | :06:28. | |
make ends meet. But being homeless does not just mean sleeping on the | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
streets. If your business collapses, you lose your job or have a | :06:31. | :06:34. | |
breakdown in a relationship, you can find yourself without a roof | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
over your head and it does seem to be a growing problem. In | :06:38. | :06:43. | |
Gloucestershire alone last year, councils dealt with nearly 1000 | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
applications from people looking for housing. The figure has gone up | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
by half in a year. Bob has just moved into social housing in | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
Cirencester. He lost everything when his �1 million IT business | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
collapsed. Losing his home nearly lost him his life. You are | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
humiliated, degraded. I was suicidal for months. They did not | :07:07. | :07:12. | |
seem much alternative to anything. But you get through it and funnily | :07:12. | :07:18. | |
enough, I quite enjoy it this. There is a huge demand for housing | :07:18. | :07:23. | |
here and the brain is put firmly at the feet of the economy. | :07:23. | :07:27. | |
recession has had an effect on this, which has had an impact in turn on | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
people's relationships. They have lost their tenancies, domestic | :07:31. | :07:36. | |
abuse increases, young people are turned out from homes, all sorts of | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
things, but the recession is the key driver. Natasha and now lives | :07:40. | :07:47. | |
in the YMCA in Cheltenham. With no job, her options are limited. A few | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
months ago she faced living on the streets. It hit me like a brick. It | :07:52. | :07:57. | |
was hard to start off with and I wondered what I would do. I do not | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
have any family here. I was just really confused. But this homeless | :08:03. | :08:08. | |
charity is predicting a grim future. With caps on housing benefit in the | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
pipeline, Nightstop says many people will not be able to afford | :08:13. | :08:17. | |
their rent. We will need to find somewhere where we can put these | :08:17. | :08:22. | |
people to give them a good standard of accommodation so date are warm | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
and not cold or damp, and make them feel secure. The Government says it | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
is investing �400 million to tackle homelessness, but that may Penegoes | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
so far to satisfy demand. It shows no sign of debating -- abating. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
BBC Radio Gloucestershire is spending this week looking at the | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
issues around housing and homelessness. Tomorrow on the mid- | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
morning show they will be hearing more from Bob Forbes he used all in | :08:52. | :08:57. | |
the report there and Harold losing his home affected him. | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
-- he used all in the report and how losing his home affected him. | :09:01. | :09:07. | |
Coming up tonight: The cover up that did not work. Frustration at | :09:07. | :09:12. | |
Swindon Town after their match was called off despite all the hot air. | :09:12. | :09:16. | |
And covering up in style. The exhibition in Bath that celebrates | :09:16. | :09:24. | |
the coolest sport where in town. All that still to come. First, a | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
Somerset charity is suggesting that domestic abuse should appear as a | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
topic on the school curriculum. The charity SEEDS argues that children | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
even at primary level should be taught the values of mutual respect. | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
The idea is borne out of a survey carried out by the group which | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
questioned more than 100 victims of abuse. It revealed a wide -- | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
revealed the way victims were treated by authorities. | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
The idea was to give victims a pause, to hear their experiences | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
and learn from them. The survey was carried out by the North Somerset | :10:00. | :10:06. | |
domestic abuse charity SEEDS. It interviewed 12 -- 112 victims over | :10:06. | :10:14. | |
Many spoke of a lack of understanding for their plight and | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
inconsistencies of how they were dealt with by a disease from the | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
police to social services. Today the findings were unveiled at | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
a conference in Weston-super-Mare. Social workers, educationalists, | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
the police, getting a chance to hear from victims like Clare. She | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
was abused by her partner for two years. There was a lot of | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
inconsistencies. Some services were a brilliant, others were really | :10:39. | :10:46. | |
poor. You just want everyone to do a good job and make lives for | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
survivors easier. Today's conference at the Winter Gardens | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
heard causes for improved training for all involved in abuse and | :10:56. | :11:02. | |
prevent Steve education, even for primary children, in due to sink | :11:02. | :11:08. | |
the subject into the curriculum. Are they not just too young? It can | :11:08. | :11:15. | |
work and it does. We have trialled at two senior schools over the last | :11:15. | :11:20. | |
couple of years. A band in to be an excellent resource, really useful. | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
-- they found it to be. It identified some children that | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
needed help there and then and it improved behaviour as a whole | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
across the school. Today's conference did support the idea of | :11:33. | :11:37. | |
getting the message into schools. Yet turning support into action | :11:37. | :11:46. | |
will be another matter. The trial has begun of a couple | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
accused of battering a man to death in Bristol. The body of 47-year-old | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
Timothy Crooke was discovered in a flat in Fishponds. He had been | :11:55. | :12:00. | |
living in a hostel for the homeless. The June head that 33-year-old | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Thomas Tibbatts and 23-year-old Zarah Bryant were both alcoholics | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
when they carried out what was described as a prolonged and | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
vicious assault. They both deny murder. | :12:11. | :12:15. | |
There are more overnight closures should go before the end for this | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
evening. Both carriageways will be shut between junction 18 for Bath | :12:18. | :12:24. | |
and junction 19 for the M32 from 8pm until 6am tomorrow morning. It | :12:24. | :12:28. | |
is part of the �88 million redevelopment of the Almondsbury | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
interchange. The overnight closures are expected to last six nights. | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
The euro is in trouble, the world's financial markets are in turmoil. | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
Is it time we just forget the rest of the world and print Aaron money? | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
Now it is happening. Today they launched by the Bristol pack. Local | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
traders will accept the notes or you can shop online and Bristolians | :12:53. | :13:01. | |
are being asked to suggest whose face should be on the new cash. | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
Hi there. How are you? We are here to talk about the Bristol pounds. | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
In Bristol's local market, they were pitching a local currency. | :13:11. | :13:19. | |
There will be one, five, 10 and �20 notes. If you join the scheme, you | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
will be charging the same for Bristol pounds as you would if it | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
was in normal pounds. These traders may some local produce but this man | :13:29. | :13:34. | |
once more. He wants them to join a new financial system where local is | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
locked in. It is there to drive more business to people like you. | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
These are the designs for the new notes. One Bristol pound. There is | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
a cockerel here. That is a security bonded hologram. When it is printed | :13:52. | :13:56. | |
it will be forged proof. But what goes here? That is down to the | :13:56. | :14:00. | |
people of Bristol. And a briefing kit is really important for | :14:00. | :14:07. | |
Bristol's own currency -- we think it is important for Bristol's own | :14:07. | :14:12. | |
currency to reflect the people living here. People are welcomed to | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
submit people for their designs but it is not restricted to people | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
alone. Will it be him? Or her? Maybe then? Baps a big bunch of | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
Bristol balloons? The Bristol Evening Post is running a | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
competition. You have got five weeks to choose some designs. What | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
is the idea? How does Bristol having its own money held these | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
traders? If I'd spent a Bristol pound a tenner at the market rather | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
than a normal tenor and back 10 it will be spent again with a Bristol | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
person, an independent person living and working in this region, | :14:53. | :14:57. | |
that helps to the money going round and round the businesses in the | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
local area. Normally it goes through a big company, through | :15:02. | :15:07. | |
their financial system and into London. So you are not going to | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
boost spending in Bristol. You are just taking it from one sector or | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
one part of the retail economy or the service economy, and putting it | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
to another part that is more locally-based? | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
Can this money changed the way the world goes round? Do find out, I | :15:25. | :15:32. | |
followed a Bristol Tanner. From a bakery to a laptop repairman, to a | :15:32. | :15:37. | |
ferry boat, even to the council. Hello, I have come to pay you my | :15:37. | :15:44. | |
taxes in Bristol pounds. Catch the whole story tonight at 7:30pm on | :15:44. | :15:51. | |
Inside Out on BBC One. Now sport and Swindon Town are | :15:51. | :15:56. | |
looking for a refund after the covers and heaters they hired fails | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
to keep Saturday's game on. The club spent �20,000 but say the | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
equipment arrived too late and some of it did not work. They are | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
confident tomorrow's important Johnstone's Paint Trophy area final | :16:09. | :16:18. | |
will be on. Just here it was called off. Today the milder temperatures | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
have helped the ground start to get rid of the cost, the job the hot | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
air blowers were meant to do on Friday night, but the heating | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
equipment did not arrive until 7pm and even then, several of the hot | :16:31. | :16:38. | |
air blowers failed to work. The club won their money back. I am | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
writing a long epistle to the company concerned, outlining all of | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
the events that went on or did not go on, in the hope that they will | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
arrive with a sensible compromise and allowed us to recover quite a | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
lot of the investment. tomorrow's Johnson's baits don't | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
Trophy tie against Barnet he is not under threat. Good news for the | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
fans who have already bought tickets, hoping to see their side | :17:05. | :17:09. | |
book a place at Wembley. People think it is a small trophy but to | :17:09. | :17:18. | |
Swindon Town it is a big thing. It brings money into the club. It will | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
not be as easy as some people think that we will get through. Swindon | :17:22. | :17:26. | |
are favourites and the manager has urged his players to seize their | :17:26. | :17:32. | |
chance. You have a real chance, so today relax, rest and tomorrow | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
arrive here liked you want to get someone who stole something from | :17:37. | :17:44. | |
you. You have to defend your house from a nasty dock. There is plenty | :17:44. | :17:48. | |
at stake for Cheltenham as well. Surprise League 2 leaders, they | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
have their chance to show that is no fluke against promotion | :17:51. | :17:58. | |
favourites, Crawley. Rugby and Gloucester have confirmed | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
that flanker Alasdair Strokosch will leave the club at the end of | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
the season. The 28-year-old Scotland international, currently | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
on Six Nations duty, were joint French side Perpignan. He arrived | :18:11. | :18:16. | |
at King's home from Edinburgh in 2007 and has made over 100 | :18:16. | :18:20. | |
appearances for the club. For all those Team GB athletes | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
preparing their bodies for the Olympics, probably the last thing | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
on their Bines is what we are there for the opening ceremony? So it is | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
looking them that they have topped British designer Stella McCartney | :18:31. | :18:36. | |
on the case, and tonight in Bath, they are celebrating all things | :18:36. | :18:45. | |
lycra, with a special exhibition dedicated to sport fashion. | :18:45. | :18:49. | |
Yes, sport and fashion. Not the most obvious relationship. This | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
exhibition shows just how close the two are. This goal creation here, | :18:54. | :18:59. | |
this is one of Stella McCartney's early attempts as she partners | :18:59. | :19:05. | |
Adidas to bring us the Team GB kit for this summer's Olympics. If I'd | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
just take a step around here, you might recognise this outfit being | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
Amy Williams' gold-medal winning one when she was out in Vancouver | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
in 2010. Another of our west Olympians is the person opening | :19:20. | :19:27. | |
this exhibition, Heather Fell. No tracksuits for you tonight! | :19:27. | :19:32. | |
Definitely not. It is a great opportunity to get to wear | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
something glamourous. And you got the silver in 2008 in the modern | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
pentathlon. Five different sports, five different outfits. Yes. We can | :19:42. | :19:46. | |
see pretty much all of them modelled here. I do not really look | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
quite as cameras as the fencing a woman in there but she is actually | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
wearing my kit. Yes, you have leant back to the exhibition. Yes. There | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
are all sorts of sports around here. Just behind me, I got to do a | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
photo-shoot with Stella McCartney and I modelled that jacket in a | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
water-based environment, which was quite an interesting photoshoot. | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
for you, fashion and sport are pretty close? Yes, and with 2012, a | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
lot of the designers are jumping on this opportunity for great | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
publicity and a great chance to work with sport. As an athlete, it | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
is really exciting and great fun. And a bit of time off from that | :20:28. | :20:33. | |
all-important training to equip try to get back gold from London. | :20:33. | :20:38. | |
I have just come back from the French Pyrenees where we did not | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
see a sigh of fashion! So to get the evening off and to get to where | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
the Stella McCartney dress and some jewellery is fun. If you want to | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
take more of an in-depth look at this wonderful exhibition, we have | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
any giving you a sneak peek, but it is are all through the Olympic year | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
of 2012, so there is absolutely no excuse for you not to come and take | :21:02. | :21:06. | |
a look. Thank you. It was a bit more | :21:06. | :21:14. | |
glamourous than I thought. Back to our story about the row in Bath | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
over a Christian group forced to remove a claim from its advertising | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
at BAA heels. We asked what you think. Laura Jones has been looking | :21:22. | :21:32. | |
:21:32. | :21:32. | ||
at some of your responses. -- That Got heels. | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
David said, drugs require trials. The same thing should apply to | :21:39. | :21:45. | |
religious healers. Another viewer says, praying may be good that as a | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
cure that is ignorant and dangerous. Colin is more sympathetic, if they | :21:52. | :21:56. | |
are banned from claiming back on heels, it is a slippery slope which | :21:56. | :22:06. | |
:22:06. | :22:07. | ||
will lead to the end of religious region -- freedom. Allen says, the | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
major issue is they may actually cause harm to someone who turns to | :22:11. | :22:15. | |
their superstition instead of medicine. It is irresponsible and | :22:16. | :22:22. | |
bordering on criminal. Kate said, it is bureaucracy gone mad but they | :22:22. | :22:27. | |
have done well to get God in the news. | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
Sonae people have got in touch. It is a shame we do not have time to | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
read all of them. -- so many people. There is a debate in the | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
archaeological world tonight over the history of a wrought iron | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
object found in a Gloucestershire garden in 2008. It is on display at | :22:45. | :22:51. | |
the Stratford Park Museum in Stroud. Initially it was thought to be a | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
biking axe, dating back to 894 A D, but after much discussion, experts | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
now believe it is a wood working tool dating from the 18th century | :23:01. | :23:06. | |
or 19th century. This is the artefact. But it was | :23:06. | :23:12. | |
actually found here in the back garden of this house in Slimbridge. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
A great find, which sat on his porch for two years before it was | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
noticed by visiting archaeologists. He said that for 100 years, they | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
have been looking for the site of where the Vikings could have landed, | :23:25. | :23:32. | |
so here we have an axe head and a suitable site where the Vikings | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
could have landed. We have always known that Vikings were here. There | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
was a great rate 1,100 years ago at the River Severn. But so far, | :23:43. | :23:49. | |
archaeological evidence for this has been very feeble. Now we have a | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
fighting battle axe. It got everyone excited. It was taken to | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
the local museum where staff got quite excited about what they saw. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
It is quite thin. It has corrosion on both sides but it is very heavy, | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
so there is still a lot of metal in net. If we turn it around, you can | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
see that the wooden shaft fitted into a socket here but of the | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
socket has broken away and that maybe habit got dropped or lost. We | :24:15. | :24:24. | |
are not experts on the period and so we have simply relied on the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
suggested identification that was made to the finder. So is it a | :24:28. | :24:34. | |
Viking axe? No, I'm afraid it is an eighteenth-century agricultural | :24:34. | :24:41. | |
implement. Ideas about biking battles, I am afraid they are all | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
imagination. The description has now been changed at the museum. But | :24:46. | :24:49. | |
I am sure there will be further discussions at a meeting being held | :24:49. | :24:56. | |
at Slimbridge village hall on 21st February. | :24:56. | :25:04. | |
I loved the description there. Is it a Viking axe? Now. Pretty simple. | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
Let's have a look at what the weather has in store. We have snow | :25:09. | :25:18. | |
at the weekend, we have had ice The Love Parade prospects into | :25:18. | :25:22. | |
February are starting to look just that bit wild. -- the long-term | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:37. | ||
prospects. It may be we are out of No repeat of that tomorrow. We are | :25:37. | :25:45. | |
more likely to see something akin So largely a cloudy story. Mostly | :25:45. | :25:52. | |
dry. One or two receptions in the South East. If we look through the | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
week, it is a pattern which starts to pick up again, the easterly, | :25:57. | :26:03. | |
cold, dry air, and as we get through the later part of tomorrow | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
and into the rest of the week temperatures will drop away. We are | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
not expecting anything specifically in the way of much rain or snow. We | :26:15. | :26:21. | |
have had some rain today, showery outbreaks, some in Bristol to stop | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
late but they are tailing away to the south. That cluster a pretty | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
East Anglia will bring some snow and that will move towards us in | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
the Cotswolds tomorrow. But for the rest of tonight, fog forming a | :26:35. | :26:39. | |

Cotswolds, for example. Light wind remaining dry through the cause of | :26:45. | :26:55. | |

Tomorrow will start grey and uninspiring. The fog will be around. | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
In the North East, the hint of some light flurries of snow. It could | :27:04. | :27:09. | |
just extend to the Cotswolds, but not in a meaningful sense. | :27:09. | :27:19. | |
Elsewhere, it is dry. The wind is light. The sky is clearing. It will | :27:19. | :27:29. | |
:27:29. | :27:30. | ||
be much colder tomorrow night. Once again, thank you so much for | :27:30. | :27:34. | |
