On BBC One Concerns for the future of fishing - | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Guernsey States agree terms If things continue, livelihoods not | :00:00. | :00:27. | |
thought about, we'll end up with just a part-time fleet. | :00:28. | :00:29. | |
athletes get a financial boost to compete in the island games. | :00:30. | :00:33. | |
A blast from the past - the shifting sands of time reveal | :00:34. | :00:42. | |
We'll have the results of the Channel Islands Christmas Lottery. | :00:43. | :00:52. | |
Catch limits are set to be introduced for fishing | :00:53. | :00:54. | |
boats in Guernsey - in a move which it's claimed | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
will put at least one local fisherman out of business. | :00:58. | :01:00. | |
It follows a long running dispute between the island | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
and the UK Government, which has resulted in a legal bill | :01:04. | :01:06. | |
There's around 150 boats in Guernsey's fishing fleet. | :01:07. | :01:15. | |
It's a tough and often dangerous profession - | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
The States has agreed to change the terms of fishing licenses | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
for all vessels over ten metres in length, to bring the island | :01:25. | :01:28. | |
into line with European fisheries management controls. | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
It means they'll now have to comply with monthly fishing quotas | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
A move which will put at least one local boat out of business. | :01:35. | :01:53. | |
In 2009 there was 150 tonnes of skate and rays caught around | :01:54. | :01:56. | |
It's now gone up to 180 tonnes - that's 30 tonnes more over | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
the period of seven years, so how can that be over fishing? | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
I know other places have been overfished, but that is not the case | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
here. The island's government | :02:11. | :02:12. | |
tried to fight the move - but lost a High Court battle | :02:13. | :02:14. | |
which cost more than ?150,000. Now the States say they've tried | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
to strike the best deal they can for the Guernsey fleet, | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
given the circumstances. We are hoping we can come to decent, | :02:20. | :02:28. | |
proper arrangements overall with Defra, which will mean the industry | :02:29. | :02:31. | |
can carry forward with future. It's a difficult future, but as I have | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
said on previous occasions to other people, it's in industry that is in | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
the DNA of Guernsey people. We want to do the absolute best we can to | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
protect it, but there are no easy answers. | :02:45. | :02:46. | |
The larger boats in the fleet are the first to be affected - | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
There's concerns it can have irreversible effects. If these | :02:50. | :03:02. | |
things continues without livelihoods being thought about, we will end up | :03:03. | :03:03. | |
with just a part-time fleet. Discussions over further | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
restrictions for smaller boats Roisin Gauson, BBC Channel | :03:06. | :03:07. | |

will contribute over ?32,000 It's comes after some athletes | :04:07. | :04:10. | |

table, achieving one But with a host of better known | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
athletes pulling out, Fortunately, we've received some | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
extra funding from events at Fort Regent this year, | :04:36. | :04:41. | |
and that cobbled with a little bit of underspend we've been able to pay | :04:42. | :04:44. | |
for the deposits on the flights, which came to just over ?32,000, | :04:45. | :04:48. | |
which we're really pleased to do, and we hope is going to make | :04:49. | :04:58. | |
a difference in regards And those are costs that | :04:59. | :05:01. | |
Jersey's Island Games Association tries to help with by fundraising, | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
but it's not always enough. It would help us a great | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
deal in our fundraising to go away to Gotland, | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
which everyone knows is an expensive It was a complete surprise to me | :05:11. | :05:13. | |
yesterday when I got This was Lucy, one of Jersey's | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
brightest medal prospects, practising for last year's | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
Island Games at which she won gold. The Great Britain archer's competed | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
at World, European and Commonwealth level, but she wasn't planning | :05:30. | :05:31. | |
on going to Gotland. The costs were going up and up | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
and up, and I just thought it's Obviously the funding | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
from the States is absolutely incredible for every athlete, | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
I wish this had come out months ago, unfortunately it's too late for me | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
because I didn't submit my scores because I thought it | :05:49. | :05:52. | |
was too much money. So for Lucy it's back | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
to training for a season that Now, you may have heard quite a few | :05:56. | :05:58. | |
loud bangs along Jersey's coastline this year - | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
that's because four times more Around 20 weapons left over | :06:05. | :06:06. | |
from the island's past are uncovered every year, | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
but that's shot up to 80 this year because of the changing landscape | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
and more people out looking for them Armed with a metal | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
detector and a spade, Around 80 pieces of ammunition left | :06:18. | :06:26. | |
over from battles and wars have been found along Jersey's beaches this | :06:27. | :06:32. | |
year alone, because of dropping sand levels and the growing number | :06:33. | :06:37. | |
of enthusiasts like Tony. Out here, there is so much history | :06:38. | :06:50. | |
which you can come across anything, from cannon balls to bullets, | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
mortars, anything literally. It's unexpected to us sometimes what we | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
dig up. Even old copper kettles. What has been your most unique find? | :06:59. | :07:05. | |
Historical terms football, it is over 200 years old. We find | :07:06. | :07:09. | |
fragments, but with a fan of all wanted the intact before. Even | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
though it had been in the water for over 200 years. | :07:15. | :07:15. | |
When uncovered, they are passed onto Jersey's bomb expert to be | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
Because even though they may look past their best, | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
they can certainly remind you of what their intention was. | :07:22. | :07:26. | |
The majority of streaming nations, although they are rusty, they look | :07:27. | :07:39. | |
harmless -- of munitions. At the end of the day, there are as good as the | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
day there are made generally. It is just the exterior that has rusted. | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
Munitions deteriorate and become more dangerous, more sensitive to | :07:52. | :07:52. | |
movement. That's why if you come across one | :07:53. | :07:53. | |
the message it to leave well alone and call the experts | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
in to dispose them safely. Now, who wants to be | :07:58. | :08:05. | |
a Christmas millionaire? The Channel Island Christmas Lottery | :08:06. | :08:07. | |
has been drawn with a top The winning ticket number | :08:08. | :08:09. | |
is 338439 - congratulations and we'd love to hear | :08:10. | :08:19. | |
from you if you're the winner. However, if you missed out | :08:20. | :08:27. | |
on the top prize there are 12 others and can check your tickets | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
online, where we have And if like me and many of us, | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
I'm sure you've been talking about how you'd spend it, | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
here are a few ideas # I don't want a lot for Christmas | :08:38. | :08:54. | |
# There is just one thing I need. It would be very nice, wouldn't it? I | :08:55. | :08:58. | |
would probably buy a property or pay the mortgage off, the same as most | :08:59. | :09:05. | |
people. Holiday, somewhere nice. Dump my house, by a mobile home, | :09:06. | :09:08. | |
drive around Europe with my dog while my house is being done up. A | :09:09. | :09:12. | |
good holiday with the kids. I'm not sure. I would buy a house, start | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
with a good holiday. A decent car! And I fancy a rather expensive | :09:24. | :09:26. | |
cruise, I would go with to start with. I'm not I would do much what I | :09:27. | :09:35. | |
would do with the rest. We would buy a house and go on holiday. And | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
donate some to our charity, the original baby foundation. If only! | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
David Braine may not have a winning ticket but I'm sure he'll | :09:47. | :09:49. | |
Not that brilliant over the next few days, and no chance of snow for | :09:50. | :10:03. | |
Christmas, it is likely to be still quite mild. Some rain and drizzle at | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
times tomorrow, so quite a cloudy day, quite breezy for a time. | :10:07. | :10:10. | |
Generally the mild as sticks with us as well. One weather system will | :10:11. | :10:17. | |
stick with us tomorrow, but it ripples along, its progress is quite | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
slow. One amusing, we could end up with some cloud. Thursday is much | :10:26. | :10:28. | |
brighter before we see this little fellow. It is a girl, has been named | :10:29. | :10:35. | |
as Barbara, it looks like it is heading for the of Britain. For us, | :10:36. | :10:41. | |
you spot a rain overnight tonight, but more persistent towards morning. | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
Tantra is down to six or 7 degrees. Breezy for the morning, edge | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
temperatures down. The wind will slowly ease, and by the afternoon it | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
isn't so blustery. The risk of persistent rain at times. 11 degrees | :10:56. | :11:01. | |
the top temperature. That is 52 Fahrenheit. Here is our times of | :11:02. | :11:09. | |
high water. Some usable surf, but most of our beaches will be quite | :11:10. | :11:15. | |
choppy at times with those winds eventually becoming more westerly. | :11:16. | :11:18. | |
Here is the coastal waters forecast, South south-westerly 5-6. Fearing | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
westerly and easing. Occasional rain, moderate or the lady in the | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
rain. This takes us to Christmas Eve. Thursday bright and mainly dry, | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
quietly on Thursday. Friday, at the bottom end of the new area of | :11:38. | :11:40. | |
pressure which has been given a name. It is blustery on Friday, | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
expect outbreaks of rain. Bright for Christmas Eve, and it could well be | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
rather Gray for Christmas Day. Not too bad. But still quite mild. | :11:50. | :11:59. | |
Federer, David. I'm back at it be better at a PM. Right | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
now, I'm off to check my lottery ticket. | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
to receive France's highest honour finally received their medals today. | :12:10. | :12:11. | |
The French Government decided to award the Legion D'Honneur | :12:12. | :12:14. | |
to all servicemen who helped Liberate their country | :12:15. | :12:17. | |
But the application from Torbay was beset with problems and has | :12:18. | :12:30. | |
However as Our South Devon reporter John Ayres explains, | :12:31. | :12:34. | |
It's been quite a wait, but finally today the last | :12:35. | :12:37. | |
of Torbay's Normandy veterans waiting to be honoured recieved | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Better to be given it after the war, but anyway, here we are. | :12:41. | :12:51. | |
Getting medals, you know, at this late day, late hour, you know. | :12:52. | :13:01. | |
There were far more who deserved to win a medal than me. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
I was lucky, I was able to go through without being killed, so, | :13:08. | :13:19. | |
you know, that was privilige, luck, I don't know | :13:20. | :13:21. | |
My friend was killed that first night. | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
The French government wanted to thank all the servicemen | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
who helped liberate the country from the Nazis | :13:29. | :13:30. | |
They decided to offer the medal to all living | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
The problem was the French and our Ministry of Defence had | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
twice as many applications as they were expecting. | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
Emails got lost, then they may write back and say we haven't got | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
the address of the recipient, only his name or we've got his name | :13:45. | :13:47. | |
It just went on and on and I can only assume that there | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
Sadly seven of our veterans died before they managed to recieve | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
It's been a real chase, but I'm grateful to colleagues | :13:56. | :13:58. | |
in parliament and particularly to the veterans minister who's | :13:59. | :14:00. | |
helped chase this forward and I'm just pleased that now, | :14:01. | :14:02. | |
with Christmas coming, they've got the medals | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
There was also a medal for Rob Barber but he couldn't be here. | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
Awarding these medals is something the French really wanted to do, | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
and although these veterans had to wait, they are very | :14:12. | :14:13. | |
A Devon woman is set for literary fame this Christmas having been | :14:14. | :14:24. | |
selected from almost 1,000 competition entries in the search | :14:25. | :14:26. | |
to find a modern equivalent to the timeless festive tale, | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
The winning children's story is Sol The Slug's Night Before Christmas, | :14:30. | :14:37. | |
A story about a slug living under a family's floorboards, | :14:38. | :14:41. | |
who assumes Christmas is not for him, until he comes | :14:42. | :14:44. | |
face-to-face with Santa, and Lucy joins us in the studio now. | :14:45. | :14:51. | |
Congratulations. Hello, thank you. A slug is not the first creature you | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
would think of at Christmas so how did that come about? Perhaps | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
slightly embarrassingly, we have quite a big slug problem in our | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
house and for many years we have tried to block holes and stop them | :15:12. | :15:14. | |
getting through and at one point we just thought we would accept the | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
slugs and one day I saw they had done a sort of pattern on the rug | :15:19. | :15:21. | |
and that is sort of where the idea for the story came from really of | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
looking at them at a different way. You say looking at a different way | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
because you say slugs are quite surprising and we can learn a lot | :15:30. | :15:33. | |
from them. Absolutely, you look at them and you thinks I'm young | :15:34. | :15:36. | |
discussing that actually they can be artists I suppose. Tell us about the | :15:37. | :15:42. | |
store you focused on because reading the reviews of those who have | :15:43. | :15:45. | |
already read it, there was a feeling it is the true spirit of Christmas. | :15:46. | :15:48. | |
Without spoiling the ending for those who haven't entered -- Reddit, | :15:49. | :15:54. | |
what is the essential story? Essentially it is about a little | :15:55. | :15:57. | |
slut who comes out at Christmas Eve that he sees all the things around | :15:58. | :16:01. | |
him and he thinks Christmas is not for him but Father Christmas comes | :16:02. | :16:06. | |
down and puts him right and since Christmas is for everyone no matter | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
how slimy you are. It is a message of inclusivity. This competition is | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
quite major, what you expect it to do for you? Will lead to other | :16:17. | :16:21. | |
things? Hopefully, yes. It is on Amazon at the moment so hopefully we | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
are thinking... That is a free download, isn't it? Yes, hopefully a | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
lot of people will take interest in it and I will go on writing and | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
hopefully who knows in the future, more books, fingers crossed! Lots of | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
people try to get stories, particularly children's stories | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
published. What do you think the secret of successes. What you have | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
to have? What grain of an idea do you have to have for it to a | :16:49. | :16:54. | |
success? I think a lot of it is just having a magic formula and the idea | :16:55. | :16:58. | |
that works as a story but a lot of it is also just perseverance and | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
keeping going with it. It is a long process. I started writing | :17:04. | :17:06. | |
creatively when I was 19 and I am now 34 so it has taken that long. It | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
is just being in it for the long haul and a bit of patience. This | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
could now be a new Christmas classic! Fingers crossed. Thank you | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
for coming in. Now, it's day two of our | :17:20. | :17:20. | |
Spotlight Express journey For, those of you who were | :17:21. | :17:22. | |
watching last night, you'll remember I was at the home | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
of the Dartmoor Polar Express as we launched our week long series | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
of films on Christmas trains. Well, as train rides go, | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
the Lappa Valley Steam Railway near Newquay isn't the biggest | :17:33. | :17:34. | |
or the longest. But that didn't stop | :17:35. | :17:36. | |
the Spotlight Special delivering 40 passengers to a very special | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
destination at the end of the 1.5 John Henderson was lucky enough | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
to catch the Santa Express. Welcome to the spotlight express at | :17:44. | :17:56. | |
Lappa Valley Steam Railway. Never a dull moment! I love Lappa | :17:57. | :18:30. | |
Valley. I come four times a year. Honor Roll the Spotlight Express | :18:31. | :18:37. | |
powering down the valley. 40 passengers on board and waiting to | :18:38. | :18:43. | |
meet the big man. Santa also came by train, driven naturally enough by | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
one of his reindeer. Absolutely marvellous, I love coming to Lappa | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Valley, you know, especially when I fly in over the village of new Lynn | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
East. The lights down below me are absolutely splendid. Here is the | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
proof. A present that just keeps giving, and one that means | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
everything for Jeanette. It is fantastic and it started off at this | :19:10. | :19:15. | |
pub. Everybody has just built on it and build on it and if you look | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
behind you that house has just done an amazing job. That inspiration | :19:21. | :19:27. | |
came ten years ago. The village has never looked back. Jeanette and her | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
husband John saw the light started fundraising for more this. We put | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
the lights up I would buy the lights and people of the village host them | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
and they plugged the moon but three years ago John died and... So... For | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
the collection for his funeral we raised over ?500 and we bought a | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
beautiful shooting star in memory of him. It takes pride of place outside | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
Jeanette 's home and in the last few years people have also made lanterns | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
and followed as Father Christmas as the lights are turned on, but this | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
naturally as special symbolism for the woman dubbed the lady of the | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
lights. It makes me think of him every night when I look up to the | :20:17. | :20:20. | |
sky, but just at Christmas. Every day is Christmas when you look up to | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
the stars. At Santa 's grotto the important work is almost died. And | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
you will make sure to put my doggie on the list does well, remember | :20:32. | :20:36. | |
that. I will put your doggie on the list, of course I will remember | :20:37. | :20:41. | |
that. No trouble at all. All aboard the Spotlight Express for the return | :20:42. | :20:45. | |
journey! Time to take the train home. | :20:46. | :20:54. | |
What a great journey that was a! Some great Christmas lights as well | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
and another stop on the Spotlight Express on the programme tomorrow. | :20:59. | :21:00. | |
From a 100-year-old war hero to youngsters who've | :21:01. | :21:02. | |
overcome huge challenges, we've met some of the South West's | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
most inspiring people on Spotlight during 2016. | :21:05. | :21:06. | |
They've included champions in sport, those who've been determined to beat | :21:07. | :21:12. | |
the odds and others whose exploits have surprised and delighted us. | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
So as the year draws to a close here's a look back at some | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
of the people who've made a lasting impression on us and you. | :21:19. | :21:37. | |
You could be just another person sat at home and eating what you want and | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
carrying on as life is going, until it ends. If you would like to step | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
on the scales, please? Unbelievable. Absolutely incredible. Your weight | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
is 123 kilos which is 11 and a half stone in weight loss. Brilliant. So, | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
fantastic. Fantastic. My brothers were terrible, they said | :22:07. | :22:25. | |
if I didn't come home with two golds than I was getting on the flight | :22:26. | :22:28. | |
back home but unfortunately I came back with a silver and gold, which | :22:29. | :22:30. | |
isn't too bad. Me and Lewis are out OK? -- out | :22:31. | :22:38. | |
front, OK. Good job, Riley! I send e-mails and I don't trust | :22:39. | :23:17. | |
banking on it. It's not that I'm frightened of, I'm afraid of making | :23:18. | :23:27. | |
a mistake myself. I didn't expect to be so near the edge of life really. | :23:28. | :23:56. | |
Congratulations. Thank you very, very much indeed. I believe you me, | :23:57. | :24:18. | |
I treasure it. It is an honour. That has made us all well up again, | :24:19. | :24:22. | |
hasn't it? That has to be one of the most incredible moments of the year. | :24:23. | :24:27. | |
Look, we have found our tree from last year. I thought he had been | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
banished to the loft, never to be seen again! Delighted to see again | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
after all this time. David, is there a storm coming in? | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
There is on Friday but maybe not for us, it is passing through the north | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
of the country. The next few days are not looking too bad for us, it | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
is damp with rain in the forecast and more tomorrow and a bit breezy | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
but especially tomorrow morning. Generally quite mild. I don't think | :24:58. | :25:01. | |
there was any chance of seeing anything white this Christmas. The | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
layer of crap that stretches from the rest of Scotland act here to the | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
middle of the Atlantic joins up with a weather front over Canada at the | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
moment. That weather system will drag its way over and asked for the | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
night to come and it is reasonably close in the day tomorrow but it | :25:19. | :25:23. | |
will go through and Thursday is going to be the brightest day of the | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
week, largely dry. Perhaps a chance to get outside and make sure the | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
garden is secure because there is a new area of low pressure that has | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
been called Barbara by the Irish Met service and the UK Met Office. It | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
looks like it's track will take us -- take it well away from us, to the | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
north, but there was a squeeze on the eye to bars and a weather front | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
that will produce heavy rain for a time on Friday afternoon. This | :25:52. | :25:54. | |
evening and overnight tonight has rain coming in which is patchy right | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
now but it will become more widespread and persistent later in | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
the night. Temperatures will fall to five or 6 degrees for most of us but | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
I think a lot of the wet weather should be gone by the time we get up | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
in the morning. The exception is parts of Dorset and the ease of | :26:13. | :26:15. | |
Somerset where temperatures will start the day at five or six or 7 | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
degrees for most of us. Not a bad start with briefly some brightness | :26:22. | :26:24. | |
but quickly the weather front returns and produces further | :26:25. | :26:27. | |
outbreaks of rain, particularly in the afternoon. Winds are fresh from | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
the South West but will slowly drop and become north-westerly by the end | :26:32. | :26:34. | |
of the afternoon and temperatures should get up to double figures. The | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
forecast for the Isles of Scilly. Brighter in the afternoon once the | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
weather front clears. Times of high water. | :26:45. | :26:50. | |
As we saw through the weekend and last week the waves are out there | :26:51. | :26:58. | |
and the north-west is between nine and 12 feet with quite choppy | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
conditions as well, if not messy. There is the coastal waters | :27:03. | :27:12. | |
forecast. Patchy rain around with moderate visibility in the rain. | :27:13. | :27:18. | |
Friday looks like it will be a wet and windy day but mild with | :27:19. | :27:22. | |
temperatures up to 12 or 13. Saturday is Christmas Eve and it | :27:23. | :27:26. | |
will be quite blustery but mainly dry. Saturday night is windy for | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
Father Christmas, but he can cope with that. | :27:31. | :27:34. | |
Let's hope so! Thank you very much. That's all from us for now with the | :27:35. | :27:39. | |
next update at 10:30pm. Remind me what this Christmas decoration did? | :27:40. | :27:44. | |
It will drive everyone mad. So glad I asked. Good night. | :27:45. | :27:47. |
