This is East Midlands Today with Anne Davies. And me, Dominic Heale. | :00:04. | :00:08. | |
Our top story tonight - could there be a hard winter ahead for the | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
homeless? A homeless charity reports a sharp increase in the | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
number of people sleeping rough. Divided opinions - should this | :00:20. | :00:24. | |
Crematorium be able to recycle the heat it generates? Why waste it if | :00:24. | :00:29. | |
you don't have to? It is a bit creepy! | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
Also, fighting for education in the great outdoors, but are the centres | :00:33. | :00:39. | |
becoming too costly to keep? And a Nottingham teenager who wants | :00:39. | :00:49. | |
:00:49. | :00:51. | ||
to become the World Scrabble Good evening and welcome to | :00:51. | :00:58. | |
First tonight, a further sign of the impact of the economic slow- | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
down. But this is one indicator that won't be found in the latest | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
monthly unemployment figures or in the rate of inflation. | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
Instead, it'll be more evident late at night on street corners and in | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
shop entrances. That's because a charity for the homeless in the | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
East Midlands says there's been a sharp increase in the number of | :01:16. | :01:20. | |
people sleeping rough. Today the charity took that message | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
to MPs. From Westminster, here's our Politcal Editor John Hess. | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
Nobody here will be sleeping rough tonight, but they gathered for a | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
parliamentary reception to warn that more people in the East | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
Midlands are struggling to keep a roof over their heads. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
repercussions are that the number of people sleeping rough has gone | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
up to stop this time last year it was three or four people and night, | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
now it is 19. That is a trend we are seeing right across the country. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
The Nottingham-based homework charity Framework held a sleep out | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
earlier this month to highlight the growing crisis. I think there is an | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
awful lot of hidden homelessness, people who are staying with friends, | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
sleeping on their couch or their floor for a week or two, and then | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
they moved on December the else. Some of those people may end up on | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
the streets because they run out of goodwill from France. According to | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
the government, they are 121 people sleeping rough in the East Midlands | :02:25. | :02:32. | |
last year. But Framework it said it handle 57 in Nottingham, and over | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
this year, they helped 103 people sleeping rough, an increase of 81%. | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
The government maintained it has introduced initiatives to help the | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
housing market, especially those that are vulnerable. It says it is | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
up to local councils to decide on local priorities and how that money | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
should be allocated. Local authorities have seen enormous cuts | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
to their budget, and they are having to make the two differed -- | :02:59. | :03:02. | |
difficult decisions. If they don't get the economy going, we will not | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
have the money for the public services. It did -- it is getting | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
worse, it is always be vulnerable who are affected worse. Framework | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
based his big budget cut. Today it warned politicians of the | :03:17. | :03:22. | |
consequences. John Hess joins us from Westminster | :03:22. | :03:29. | |
now. Is the government aware of these growing concerns? I quite the | :03:29. | :03:32. | |
how to administer Grant Shapps, he says it is shocking that rough | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
sleepers continued to pour through the net of the systems on offer, | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
and far from being apologetic amazes the coalition government is | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
providing the best support for the homeless anywhere in the world. | :03:45. | :03:49. | |
�400 million over the next four years, at this year's rate of | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
spending. An additional �42 million, two Voluntary organisations, like | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
Framework of Nottingham, to help deal with the problem. He says it | :03:59. | :04:04. | |
is obscene that in the 21st century, governments are unable to deal with | :04:04. | :04:10. | |
the problem of rough sleepers. So this is an indication that this | :04:10. | :04:13. | |
particular housing minister certainly doesn't want to see a | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
return to the cardboard city style of life that blighted many of our | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
towns and cities in the 1980s. Thank you. | :04:22. | :04:27. | |
Still to come on the programme: A top scrabble star spells it out. | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
Plus, frosts are back in our weather forecast. | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
Also, find out why you can rent of this huge building for just �1 a | :04:38. | :04:48. | |
:04:48. | :04:48. | ||
A crematorium wants to be allowed to turn the heat from its | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
cremations into central heating. Bramcote Crematorium says its | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
trying to be more environmentally- friendly in the way it uses what's | :04:54. | :05:04. | |
:05:04. | :05:05. | ||
left from the burning process. It's now asking families for their | :05:05. | :05:11. | |
views. Carolyn Moses reports. It is a soothing environmental | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
setting, using 18 acres of woodland, but now, the crematorium is using | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
at more recycling, instead of sending its heat into the | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
atmosphere, it wants to re-use the furnace heat to heat the building. | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
The idea is slightly sensitive. During cremation, Mercury can be | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
released from dental fillings. It is not allowed out into the | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
atmosphere, so has to be treated on site. It is during this that the | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
Crematorium says he'd could be converted to run pipes into central | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
heating. -- heat. But what do people think here? I think it is a | :05:48. | :05:56. | |
bit morbid. I don't like that idea at all. Everything is being used | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
again, we are been reduced. Can't be that more of a thing, can it? | :06:02. | :06:08. | |
wouldn't bother me, no, when you're dead, you are gone. Might as well | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
use the heat! The crematorium is run by two local councils. In a | :06:13. | :06:23. | |
:06:23. | :06:34. | ||
Over the next three weeks, local people, religious groups and | :06:34. | :06:39. | |
funeral directors will all be asked their views. But the idea is not | :06:39. | :06:45. | |
totally new. Some Crematorium are already using it. To try and reduce | :06:45. | :06:50. | |
global warming while increasing their own. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
The inquest into the death of a Red Arrows pilot has heard his ejector | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
seat fired him into the air but his parachute didn't open. Flight | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Lieutenant Sean Cunningham was killed two weeks ago after his | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
ejector seat went off on the ground at RAF Scampton near Lincoln. The | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
35-year-old died from multiple injuries after hitting the ground | :07:06. | :07:12. | |
still strapped into his seat. The inquest has been adjourned until a | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:23. | ||
later date. Two burglars his friend has been | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
stabbed to death have been jailed for seven years. They forced their | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
way into a flat to attack the man who lived there. Nottingham Crown | :07:30. | :07:35. | |
Court heard that he picked up a knife in self-defence. All three | :07:35. | :07:38. | |
attackers were stabbed in the struggle, and their friend bled to | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
death. The former leader of Derby's | :07:42. | :07:44. | |
Conservatives has rejoined the council's Tory group, after an | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
assault case against him was dismissed. Councillor Harvey | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
Jennings was in court last week accused of assaulting his ex-wife, | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
which he denied. The prosecution offered no evidence and both were | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
bound over to keep the peace. The councillor was suspended during the | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
court proceedings, but had the whip restored at a meeting last night. | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
Next tonight, they've been credited with transforming the lives of tens | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
of thousands of children for decades - but now they could be | :08:08. | :08:13. | |
closed down. The future of three outdoor | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
education centres in Leicestershire is hanging in the balance because | :08:15. | :08:20. | |
of cuts. And now anyone with an opinion on their future is being | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
:08:30. | :08:34. | ||
asked what they think should be It is 1940 - we are in an air raid | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
shelter, and I am with fellow evacuees here. They are actually | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
from Dunton Bassett primer, bringing history alive at this | :08:43. | :08:48. | |
historic hall. It has been really good so far, really good experience | :08:48. | :08:52. | |
for us to put it is actually like you are in the war, using your | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
ration cards. We have learnt a lot so far. It makes you think about | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
how the World War Two children felt. It is not just history days. For | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
half a century, tens of thousands of children have enjoyed outdoor | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
:09:17. | :09:18. | ||
Children of Leicestershire, adults, have benefited the 50 years from | :09:18. | :09:26. | |
the life-changing experiences they have had to these halls. It would | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
be such a shame to see them go, because if you lost the knack made | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
you would never be able to replace them. How many children are using | :09:33. | :09:43. | |
:09:43. | :09:53. | ||
these facilities? 6000 of them come along here. But the centre's cost | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
the county council �400,000 last year, and it needs to find savings | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
of �79 million. Clearly, the way things are set up at the moment, we | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
are not going to be able to continue, because the loss they are | :10:08. | :10:12. | |
recovering. But we are interested to hear the wider range of fuse, so | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
we can bring about a solution. Bunce it may be rationed, but they | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
want people's opinions via the County Council website. The | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
consultation ends are just before Christmas, a decision it is | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
expected early next year. And it's not just services for the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
young that are facing cuts. At a meeting in Derby this evening, | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
councillors are expected to confirm the closure of a day centre for the | :10:37. | :10:47. | |
:10:47. | :10:47. | ||
elderly. Simon Hare is there. Good evening. Derby city council | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
cabinet is meeting here at the moment. On the agenda, day-care | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
centres for the elderly. Within the last few minutes, it has confirmed | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
the closure of the Whitaker rode day-care centre, and all the people | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
who currently use it will have to transfer to the more distant street | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
centre in Derby. The council says despite our ageing population, both | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
at the centres have a lot of spare places. But the decision to close | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
them have been controversial. The Labour group has opposed it. More | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
than 400 people have signed petitions, with opponents arguing | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
that the decrease in popularity of the centres has only been brought | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
about by a massive increase in charges. But this will save the | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
council about �290,000, and any money raised by the sale of | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
Whitaker rode will be ploughed back into day-care for the elderly. | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
A 19-year-old prisoner from Derbyshire has been found hanged in | :11:48. | :11:51. | |
his cell. Christopher Neale from Somercotes was not thought to be on | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
suicide watch. He was serving a two-year sentence at Glen Parva | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
Young Offenders Institute in Leicestershire, for sexual activity | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
with a girl under 13 years old. An investigation by The Independent | :12:00. | :12:04. | |
Prisons and Probation Ombudsman is underway. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
One in four young people in the East Midlands has got in a car with | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
someone who'd been drinking or taking drugs. Many also feared for | :12:10. | :12:14. | |
their safety as a passenger. That's according to the road safety | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
charity Brake. It's calling for tougher restrictions on new drivers | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
to cut the number of accidents. A major expansion to West Notts | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
College in Mansfield has been given the go-ahead. The �11 million | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
building on the Derby Road campus will eventually be open to the | :12:30. | :12:34. | |
public as a restaurant and beauty salon. It'll also help to train | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
students with hands-on work experience. The development is part | :12:38. | :12:48. | |
:12:48. | :12:51. | ||
of improvements to the college Next on East Midlands today, | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
imagine being healthy one day and barely able to move in agony the | :12:54. | :12:59. | |
next. That is exactly what happened to Annie Glover from Leicestershire | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
when she suffered complications after a prolapsed disc. | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
She still does not know what caused it but is certain she wants to help | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
others. Now diagnosed with a rare condition, she is running a | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
nationwide support group and campaigning for research. Our | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
health correspondent reports. Annie is 38 but says she feels like | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
90. It takes crutches and painkillers to get around the house. | :13:26. | :13:32. | |
A prolapsed disc led to numbness in her legs and pain. It is a | :13:32. | :13:38. | |
condition that --... Loading the washing machine, washing up, making | :13:38. | :13:45. | |
a meal, it is hard for me. I have to rely on my husband to help me. | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
At her home in Loughborough, she has set up a national charity. She | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
hopes to raise awareness of, not just among sufferers. We want to | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
get the message through the medical profession because not everyone in | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
the have medical profession knows about the condition. Your spinal | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
cord finishes just above your waist. Below that is a group of nerves | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
which supply muscles controlling the bladder, bowel and legs. The | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
syndrome occurs when these nerves become compressed. A slipped disc, | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
the most common cause. Other causes include tumours, infection or | :14:21. | :14:25. | |
trauma. There is now one NHS specialist clinic in Sheffield | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
which offers support for people in East Midlands with the conditions. | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
The a find being in a wheelchair is not an issue. It is the problems | :14:34. | :14:39. | |
with bladder and bowels that of the problem. They are much more | :14:39. | :14:44. | |
significant to them. Annie has been contacted by some of the 100 people | :14:44. | :14:48. | |
diagnosed each year in the UK. She suspects there are many other cases | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
not recognised. Until a cure is found, she relies on more than 20 | :14:52. | :15:01. | |
painkillers a day. For the second part in our Heritage | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
SOS series, tonight the community taking restoration into its own | :15:05. | :15:07. | |
hands. The Grand Pavilion in Matlock Bath | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
has been empty for three years. Since it was built in 1910, it has | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
hosted top musicians, beauty contests and even a night club. | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
When it came up for rent, people living nearby wanted to save it | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
from developers and return it to its former glory. That is no longer | :15:25. | :15:35. | |
:15:35. | :15:35. | ||
just an aspiration. They are about to sign the lease. | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
You cannot miss in -- it in Matlock Bath. It still looks rather pretty | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
on the outside. Inside, it is a different story. This is from the | :15:47. | :15:55. | |
old days. It almost smells like a nightclub. It is huge. It is | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
enormous. We can fit 400 seats in here. It needs some work. The it is | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
quite daunting. When we started with this, we didn't even have | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
access to the building. If you look up, you can see the original | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
ceiling. The pavilion was built in six months. Can you believe it? The | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
whole building in 1910 was built in six months. We are right at the | :16:22. | :16:28. | |
top? From the top to bottom, it needs complete renovation. The | :16:28. | :16:34. | |
community as applying for more than �2.5 million in grants. The good | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
news is, the rent is cheap. We have only got to pay �1 for the building. | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
Getting the rest of the money will be a much bigger job. The council | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
is leasing it so was it the easy option to let the community raise | :16:47. | :16:51. | |
the money? I do not really think it is an easy option for the council. | :16:51. | :16:56. | |
What we are trying to do is make sure that its frontline services | :16:56. | :17:03. | |
are maintained. We are also -- the council also feels it has a duty to | :17:03. | :17:06. | |
the community to try and make some of the other things that are not | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
statutory services happen. If these Walls Could Talk, in the last 100 | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
years, bird -- they would tell tales of elaborate beauty pageants | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
and even the sound of a Elton John playing here. That history is wide | :17:26. | :17:34. | |
800 local people have signed up to save it. The nearest arts venue for | :17:34. | :17:41. | |
us is 20 miles away. This would make a great venue on my doorstep. | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
Not Rob Stewart played here in his early days. We have also had a lot | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
of comedians, Ken Dodd played here. They it is the first time in my | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
memory that all of the people are pulling together and reading the | :17:55. | :18:01. | |
same hymn sheet. It is marvellous to see it. The deal is signed early | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
next year. Then it will be up to the community to make the pavilion | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
same once again. -- singer once again. | :18:12. | :18:19. | |
Still to come, the teenage came of the triple letter score. -- the | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
teenage King. We will be meeting Tim Butcher who | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
is about to head off to the World Scrabble Championships in Malaysia. | :18:25. | :18:30. | |
A after a run of mild nights, I can finally say tonight that we will | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
see a widespread frost. Temperatures in rural areas go | :18:34. | :18:44. | |
below freezing. More weather at the end of the programme. | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
Time for sport. Why have seen some shocking sights this afternoon. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
of the unedited footage. Those pictures will not be making it into | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
the peace. We will start with Derby County | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
whose coaching staff are on make and by a lone striker. Along with | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
manager Nigel Clough, they are at games tonight looking for firepower | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
after losing three games in a road. One of their injured players found | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
something to be grateful for at the training ground today. | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
When they arrived at the training ground today, one request was high | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
on the wish-list. A new striker before Thursday. Derby have an | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
injury crisis. Another four got injured on Saturday. It was their | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
third defeat in a row. Under this Santa mask, he has played just 25 | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
minutes since the signing in the summer. They have been helping at a | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
children's hospice today which they say put things in perspective. | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
I compare my worries to anyone else's who has a seriously ill | :19:49. | :19:54. | |
child, my heart goes out to all of them. The Santa suits are to | :19:54. | :20:02. | |
promote fun runs across Derbyshire, Leicestershire and... For a small | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
registration fee, or we will give you your Santa suit and then you | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
complete the 2.2 mile run or before 0.4 mile run. He first one is this | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
weekend by which time Derby hope to have found someone to bring them a | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
sack full of gold. There is one game happening tonight. | :20:21. | :20:26. | |
A first-round replay in the FA Cup. Hinckley's part-time squad go to | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
Tamworth. The first leg ended in a 2-2 draw. The winners will be away | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
at Gateshead and there is live commentary on BBC Radio Leicester. | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
Now something not happening. Steeplechasing has had to be | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
cancelled at Leicester Racecourse because of a lack of rain. The | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
course is too hard and staff say they are not licensed to irrigate | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
during the winter months. They are blaming the exceptionally dry year. | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
The hurdle racing will still go on. Now we will take you to the heart | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
of an ice hockey practice session. Nottingham Panthers won the team of | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
the year award at the BBC East Midlands Sports Awards last week. | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
That was due to their astonishing turn a grant -- turnaround. They | :21:09. | :21:16. | |
were so bad that they were docked wages but they turned it around. | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
In the bowels of Nottingham arena, 10:30am on Tuesday, off the back of | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
a defeat. The coach is going through the drills. Is it hard to | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
get the guys up for it? Not this year. They are good workers. As you | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
can see, they like to have a little joke. Most of us have already been | :21:43. | :21:49. | |
to the gym. It can be difficult for them. They are used to 80 plus | :21:49. | :21:54. | |
games a season in North America. There is nothing like playing a | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
game. It is a lot easier, the more games you are playing. In fact, | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
sometimes it is impossible to keep them away from the eyes, even in | :22:04. | :22:09. | |
their own best interest. It is a pretty tough mentality, the sport. | :22:09. | :22:19. | |
:22:19. | :22:40. | ||
I have a harder time keeping them That was definitely harder than my | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
work out this morning. My legs are burning a little bit. What is going | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
on there is a little game. If you lose, you have to wear deep pink | :22:52. | :23:02. | |
:23:02. | :23:12. | ||
And particular thanks to the player he was wearing the camera on his | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
chest. From triple letter scores to | :23:17. | :23:21. | |
elaborate words, the game of Scrabble can challenge the most | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
bookish of us. A teenager from Nottingham is taking it to a | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
completely new level. He is called the Tim Butcher and he | :23:29. | :23:33. | |
is flying to Malaysia this weekend to compete in the World Scrabble | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
Championships. We went along to meet him and hopefully pick up some | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
tips. Player against the school librarian | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
who taught him scrabble when he was 10, Tim Butcher learnt the game at | :23:48. | :23:52. | |
Carlton Academy. Now 17, he has competed in major tournaments and | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
is heading out to Malaysia this weekend for the World Scrabble | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
Championships. When I won the first time, I wanted to beat my best | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
score. I just want to do better and better. I found out about a local | :24:05. | :24:15. | |
:24:15. | :24:17. | ||
club and joined. It just became addictive. Tim is part of several | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
clubs including the school's weekly Scrabble game. Most of the students | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
and staff are too scared to play him. We regarded as a master class. | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
It is humiliating Thos us. The last time I beat him, it was in year 10. | :24:32. | :24:37. | |
That was only because four of us were playing him as a team. He is | :24:37. | :24:44. | |
so much better than we are. What are Tim's top tips? Find common | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
endings and keep them under wraps so that you can have a word that | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
will come easily to. My second trip would be not to be afraid when you | :24:55. | :25:01. | |
are playing. Play a complicated web -- if they play a complicated web, | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
challenge it. Do not give up when you are playing. You could be 100 | :25:05. | :25:09. | |
points behind and a few turns later, you could be winning. You never | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
know what will happen. When I asked Tim what was one of his favourite | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
words to play, he came up with this one. Somehow, I don't think he will | :25:20. | :25:30. | |
:25:30. | :25:36. | ||
have a problem at the tournament. Things have been so mild but things | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
are starting to change. It will probably fluctuate a bit between | :25:40. | :25:47. | |
the milder daytime temperatures. A nice frosted picture for we have, | :25:47. | :25:53. | |
which was sent in earlier this year. Thank you for that. We are starting | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
to see these guys that gradually clearing now. The weather front has | :25:56. | :26:00. | |
been with us all day giving us a grey day. It is clearing to the | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
south-east. Coming in behind it, the temperatures will soon to -- | :26:05. | :26:11. | |
soon drop under the clear skies. Minimum temperature in the towns | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
and cities, two degrees. In rural areas, it will go below freezing. | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
Some mist and fog of forming. If you are setting off early, watch | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
out for that. A cold and frosty start. A bright day. We will seek a | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
little bit of cloud in the afternoon from the north-west. | :26:32. | :26:38. | |
Daytime temperatures with a gentle south-westerly breeze reaching -- | :26:38. | :26:44. | |
reaching a maximum of ten degrees. An area of high pressure just about | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
reaching the south-east corner of the country. An area of low | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
pressure against the North West of Scotland. At the moment, we will | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
probably see the breeze picking up over a next couple of days. The | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
winds continue to come from the south-west. We will hold on to be | :27:03. | :27:07. | |
drier weather. A bit of wintery precipitation across parts of | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
Scotland. Across these murders, we will hold on to the dry and clear | :27:12. | :27:22. | |
:27:22. | :27:24. |
