Anne Davies and Dominic Heale. Tonight, new calls for action | :00:08. | :00:17. | |
against internet bullies after the death of a teenage girl. Also | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
tonight, hunger in hospital. The patients most to wait hours for | :00:22. | :00:26. | |
food. Hundreds of meals were delayed so not only were they delayed by an | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
hour or two, they were also delivered wrongly to patients, the | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
wrong meals. Plus a fortnight since the floods but it will take months | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
for this time to recover. And motherhood versus marathons, how | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
children help Paula Radcliffe put her sport in it. They remind you all | :00:45. | :00:49. | |
the time and you think, how did I do something like that? They remind you | :00:49. | :00:59. | |

First tonight, fresh calls for an internet clamp-down after a | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
14-year-old girl from Leicestershire was found dead in her bedroom after | :01:05. | :01:08. | |
being targeted by so-called trolls. In the weeks before she died, Hannah | :01:08. | :01:11. | |
Smith had received anonymous messages on the website Ask.fm | :01:11. | :01:19. | |
telling her to take her own life. Today, her headteacher said staff | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
and students at Lutterworth High School are "shattered" by the news. | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
Our reporter is in Lutterworth. Eleanor, sounds like there's | :01:30. | :01:40. | |
:01:40. | :01:41. | ||
complete shock at the school. Yes, shock and deep sadness from anybody | :01:41. | :01:45. | |
who knew Hannah at Lutterworth High School where people are trying to | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
come to terms with the enormity of what has happened. Hannah's | :01:48. | :01:53. | |
headteacher said she was a teenager who was well liked and respected by | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
everybody she met. But is somebody who has now gone from all of their | :01:58. | :02:02. | |
lives forever. Bright, bubbly, popular. But also | :02:02. | :02:07. | |
deeply unhappy and a vulnerable victim of online bullying. | :02:07. | :02:11. | |
14-year-old Hannah Smith from Lutterworth took her own life last | :02:11. | :02:16. | |
Friday. It was here at the home she shared with her father and sister | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
that her body was found. Friends and local charities are now paying their | :02:20. | :02:27. | |
respects. It makes you really upset. It is such a shock that somebody so | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
lovely as he would feel like she could not talk to anybody, express | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
how she feels. They are coping as well as they can, to be honest. It | :02:35. | :02:40. | |
is extremely raw. They are going through every emotion you can | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
imagine as a parent would, let alone anybody else. They are hoping now | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
they can start the grieving process now but Hannah's story has been | :02:49. | :02:55. | |
told. It was the social make-up working site, Ask.fm, used by | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
millions around the world -- social networking site where Hannah had | :02:59. | :03:06. | |
turned for help with a question about eczema. Instead, her father | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
said she became a victim of abuse with some people telling her to take | :03:09. | :03:14. | |
her own life. Now it is politicians that have's father wants help from. | :03:14. | :03:21. | |
-- but Hannah's father wants help from. Pauline Latham is a victim of | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
so-called trolls. We are in this age of transparency, everybody can get | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
us very easily and it is the same with the online stuff for | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
youngsters. They can be got out so easily and they do not even know the | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
people who are targeting them very often. This is a major issue for the | :03:41. | :03:45. | |
whole world, not just our county. Cyber bullying is one of the largest | :03:45. | :03:52. | |
forms of bullying there is. It is a way to bully and intimidate somebody | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
and also remain anonymous behind a computer screen. a young life | :03:57. | :04:01. | |
wasted. But now hope that Hannah's story will help prevent more deaths | :04:01. | :04:09. | |
like hers. What has the website said about | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
this? I got a statement from Ask.fm which says that Hannah's death is a | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
true tragedy. The website is used by millions of people around the world | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
and it says it would be happy to help Leicestershire Police with | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
their investigation. It also says that it encourages users and their | :04:29. | :04:39. | |
:04:39. | :04:39. | ||
parents to report incidents of bullying and those reports are all | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
read and that if policies are violated, they will be taking down. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
But that will be of little help to Hannah's family here in Lutterworth | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
who are now grieving after her death. Thank you. | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
So, is anything being done to toughen up the laws on internet | :04:53. | :04:57. | |
bullying? Our political editor John Hess is with us. Have our laws kept | :04:57. | :05:07. | |
up to date with the social media revolution? The law has struggled to | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
keep up the date with the changing nature of the internet. But the | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
Government is now poised to intervene. Only last month, the | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
Prime Minister announced new measures to tackle internet child | :05:17. | :05:26. | |
pornography. On the issue of cyberbullying, there is growing | :05:26. | :05:29. | |
cross-party support for the police and the Crown Prosecution Service to | :05:29. | :05:39. | |
:05:39. | :05:41. | ||
take more robust action against the internet providers. MPs are in | :05:41. | :05:47. | |
recess, they must have views? certainly do. For example. Labour MP | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Stella Creasy - herself a victim of anonymous internet trolls - wants | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the equivalent of a rape alarm available online to alert the | :05:53. | :06:00. | |
internet provider. And Broxtowe MP Anna Soubry, who's a Government | :06:00. | :06:02. | |
minister and former criminal law barrister, says the internet | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
providers aren't beyond the law and as a publisher, they have the same | :06:06. | :06:15. | |
legal duty as any newspaper or broadcaster. As the Prime Minister | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
said, "a free and open internet is vital". But in no other market and | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
with no other industry do we "have such an extraordinary light touch | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
when it comes to protecting our children". The message is clear - | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
the internet providers are now under notice to get the own house in | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
order. Thanks. Later in the programme, we'll be | :06:36. | :06:38. | |
talking motherhood and marathon running with Paula Radcliffe. And | :06:38. | :06:46. | |
Sara will be here with the weather. After quite a wet spell of weather, | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
the next two or three days will be quite settled but low pressure is | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
just waiting in the wings ready to turn things upside down by the | :06:54. | :07:04. | |
:07:04. | :07:09. | ||
hospitals have received an apology after the catering system descended | :07:09. | :07:13. | |
into chaos. Hundreds of mail orders did not arrive and that meant some | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
patients could not take their vital medication. Our social affairs | :07:17. | :07:23. | |
correspondent reports from the Leicester Royal Infirmary. | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
If you're in hospital and trying to get well, you really need regular | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
meals. But here at the Royal Infirmary, some patients have had to | :07:29. | :07:39. | |
wait up to three hours for their food. Sujata was discharged this | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
afternoon, after four days being treated for complications from her | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
arthritis. And after what happened last weekend, she can't wait to get | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
home. I am absolutely shattered. Not to get enough food to eat and then | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
to feel sick all the while and hungry, and to be made to feel as if | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
it is our own fault. They were elderly people in tears, it was | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
horrendous. I am angry. It happened after a new catering | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
system was introduced here last week by a private contractor called | :08:05. | :08:07. | |
Interserve. The changes were supposed to help patients choose | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
their food, using iPads. But hundreds of orders didn't arrive. | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
Today, the company brought in extra staff, to sort out what it's | :08:13. | :08:19. | |
describing as teething problems. are really sorry that we have got | :08:19. | :08:25. | |
off to a bad start and we are very concerned. We have got a lot of | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
people investigating, working through, making sure that we | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
understand what the issues were and we are putting that right at the | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
moment. But this patients' spokesman is | :08:34. | :08:44. | |
worried. And he thinks it shows the risks involved in contracting out | :08:44. | :08:48. | |
vital hospital services. It is vital for them to have the medication on | :08:48. | :08:55. | |
time and I can only happen if the food arrives on time. And his not | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
only patients, nurses and staff had to hold the fort in difficult | :08:59. | :09:01. | |
circumstances. Today they have received an apology from hospital | :09:01. | :09:11. | |
bosses. A young girl was taken to hospital | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
this morning after two cows escaped from a livestock market. It happened | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
at the farmers' market on Scalford Road in Melton Mowbray. Police were | :09:17. | :09:21. | |
called at around 10:30. A woman also suffered minor injuries during the | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
incident. The cows were recaptured and returned to the market by | :09:24. | :09:34. | |
:09:34. | :09:35. | ||
midday. I came out of the stalls and it went straight into the stalls, | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
run into the tax office and a young girl on the stalls got injured, | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
apparently. Somebody else got knocked over but he got up, he was | :09:44. | :09:49. | |
all right. He was a farmer, you see. I understand there were a | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
couple of people injured, the most concerning injuries were a | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
six-year-old child who was injured, I understand they have been taken to | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
hospital for a precaution. People need to understand this is half a | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
tonne of least which is dangerous when it is released. -- half a tonne | :10:08. | :10:11. | |
of beast. A Nottinghamshire farmer has been | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
charged in connection with the death of a walker who was killed by a bull | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
on a public footpath. Roger Freeman was walking with his wife through a | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
field in Stanford on Soar in November 2010 when the bull | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
attacked. The 63-year-old from Glen Parva in Leicestershire died from | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
multiple injuries. His wife spent three weeks in hospital. Paul | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
Geoffrey Waterfall has been charged with manslaughter by gross | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
negligence. A mother jailed for 17 years for | :10:35. | :10:39. | |
killing her six children in a Derby house fire has, for the second time, | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
appealed to have her sentence reduced. Mairead Philpott was jailed | :10:43. | :10:47. | |
along with her husband Mick - who got life - after being found guilty | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
of the manslaughter of their six children. Family friend Paul Mosley | :10:51. | :10:56. | |
was also sentenced to 17 years. Their first appeal was thrown out at | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
the end of last month. Mairead Philpott and Mosley will now be | :10:59. | :11:05. | |
granted a short hearing in front of three judges. | :11:05. | :11:09. | |
A pressure group calling for a cut in stamp duty says big tax bills are | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
holding back the housing market. The TaxPayers' Alliance says one in ten | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
sales in the East Midlands were hit by tax bills of �7,500 or more last | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
year. They claim stamp duty scares off some first-time buyers and | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
others who want to move up the property ladder. But the Government | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
insists their other policies do support people wanting to buy a | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
home. Mike O'Sullivan has been investigating how it affects our | :11:34. | :11:44. | |
:11:44. | :11:47. | ||
region. value of the house. Up to �125,000, | :11:47. | :11:51. | |
there's no stamp duty. Above that, the duty is 1%. Then it goes up | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
dramatically for a house worth more than �250,000 - it's 3%. It can be | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
as much as 7% for some expensive properties. But for many people in | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
the housing market, this is the critical barrier to moving house - | :12:04. | :12:14. | |
:12:14. | :12:18. | ||
the jump from 1-3% at �250,000. The tax bill? At least �7,500. They need | :12:18. | :12:23. | |
to look at a way of changing the rates and thresholds so that not so | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
many people are getting hit by these massive lump sums of money when they | :12:27. | :12:29. | |
are trying to save for a mortgage themselves. | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
In the East Midlands, the figures produced by The TaxPayers' Alliance | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
suggest one in ten transactions takes place at a duty level of 3% or | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
more. And in monetary terms, the alliance reckons those transactions | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
account for 69% of all the residential stamp duty in the | :12:42. | :12:52. | |
:12:52. | :12:55. | ||
region. I think the Government's and statistics say that by 2017/18, the | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
money they are raising nonstop duty from housing transactions will catch | :12:59. | :13:04. | |
up with and even overtake the amount of taxpayer taking on alcohol and | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
cigarettes. But is this just a problem for the | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
well-off? The alliance's figures show huge variations in how | :13:10. | :13:12. | |
different places in the East Midlands are affected. | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
In Rutland - one of our most affluent areas - they calculate 36% | :13:16. | :13:22. | |
of all housing sales attract 3% or more stamp duty. In Derbyshire | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
Dales, it's 31%. But at the other end of the scale are places like | :13:26. | :13:29. | |
Ashfield. There, only 3% of transactions are above the �250,000 | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
mark. In the cities - both Leicester and Nottingham for example - the | :13:32. | :13:42. | |
:13:42. | :13:43. | ||
alliance figures show only 4% of transactions breached that barrier. | :13:43. | :13:48. | |
If you look at specific areas like the East Midlands, 6000 transaction | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
last year alone had to pay up �7,500 on top of their deposit and all the | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
other fees that go along with moving house. This is a tax that hold | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
people back. Well, the Government says nothing's | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
going to change - for now, anyway. In a statement, the Treasury told | :14:03. | :14:13. | |
:14:13. | :14:35. | ||
And you can put your house on that. This time two weeks ago, you'll | :14:35. | :14:38. | |
probably remember it was chucking it down, although it would probably be | :14:38. | :14:42. | |
more accurate to describe it as a deluge. A month's worth of rain | :14:42. | :14:45. | |
swamped parts of Nottinghamshire in a matter of hours causing flash | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
flooding and, for some, misery. The clear-up will take months. Quentin | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Rayner has returned to one of the worst hit towns to see how they're | :14:52. | :14:57. | |
getting on. A fortnight ago, Nottinghamshire was | :14:57. | :15:02. | |
officially the wettest waste in the UK. Three inches of rain fell in | :15:02. | :15:06. | |
just a couple of hours. Streams, Dykes and Becks could not cope with | :15:06. | :15:11. | |
a month's rain and they were overwhelmed. Southwell was turned | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
into lakes. Two weeks on, the scars are still showing and residents like | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Jackie are coming to terms with being flooded for the second time in | :15:20. | :15:25. | |
six years. I have a temporary set up in here, no dishwasher or washing | :15:25. | :15:29. | |
machine. I have got gas and electricity so I can cook and then | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
I'm coming through to my lounge where I will be living for the next | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
six months in rather spartan conditions. With the dehumidifiers | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
and finds wearing in the background. Where I am standing, they used to be | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
a barn but that has been demolished and cleared away. During the flash | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
flooding, the walls collapsed threatening this cottage. Thankfully | :15:49. | :15:52. | |
it has been saved but it will be months before they have got the | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
house back in order. The district council has sent out 3000 | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
questionnaires to assess the full impact of the flooding on the | :15:59. | :16:04. | |
community. All the information that people give us will be fed back to | :16:04. | :16:08. | |
the council and they are responsible for overseeing the watercourses and | :16:08. | :16:15. | |
drains and hopefully that will feed into future action to improve things | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
for the maintenance of the watercourses. and Jackie is already | :16:18. | :16:24. | |
taking action by setting up a Flood Forum. Our main aim is to map the | :16:24. | :16:28. | |
scale of the problem in the whole of the community and then feed that | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
back to the authorities so that they are aware that they need to be | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
clearing ditches, drains, whatever it takes to help the watercourses | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
flow freely and also to help individual residents become more | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
aware of how they can protect their own houses. the market town will | :16:45. | :16:55. | |
:16:55. | :16:58. | ||
take months to dry out and that Derby's old hippodrome. A new study | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
has just been published to reveal what the future could hold for the | :17:03. | :17:09. | |
city's famous but now disused theatre. The report, from the City | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
Council and English Heritage, outlines three possible uses for all | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
or part of the building. The Green Lane Hippodrome Theatre, a | :17:15. | :17:18. | |
much-loved landmark but one that has seen significant problems in the | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
past half-decade. Back in 2008, part of the roof collapsed as developers | :17:22. | :17:25. | |
worked on the building, the site has had several fires and some famous | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
faces have tried to raise its profile. Now though, a feasibility | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
study which was commissioned by the council and English Heritage suggest | :17:37. | :17:43. | |
three possible options. The first is to restore the building back to a | :17:43. | :17:49. | |
theatre costing �16 million. The second, to restore the front of the | :17:49. | :17:52. | |
building, lay decking in the interior making an open space for a | :17:52. | :17:58. | |
cafe, outdoor theatre or cinema. Or the third, to restore the front | :17:58. | :18:08. | |
:18:08. | :18:08. | ||
developing the remainder into student accomodation. There are lots | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
of areas that could do with money in terms of regeneration. At the end of | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
the day, it is a listed building. It has been there for years. | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
The Derby Hippodrome Restoration Trust also prefer the first option | :18:20. | :18:27. | |
to use it as a theatre. It brings in the most money because that is what | :18:27. | :18:34. | |
they want and it is because of a gap in the market, as they point out in | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
the report. There is a gap in the market for a theatre of that size. | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
The building remains in private ownership but the council is hoping | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
:18:51. | :19:11. | ||
the findings to the study will take Coming up, getting back to sport | :19:11. | :19:14. | |

one to have a home draw - facing Hartlepool. Leicester City fans of a | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
certain vintage may not relish a cup game against Wycombe, they'll still | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
remember the FA Cup quarterfinal defeat of 2001. Mansfield will just | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
be delighted to be back. So, sport and pregnancy. After | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
having a baby, how soon should an elite athlete return to training? | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
There were questions in the news when Zara Phillips rode while | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
pregnant, and Paula Radcliffe, now a mum of two, faced similar criticism. | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
The runner, who was based in Loughborough for a decade, has been | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
speaking exclusively to Helen Barnes about her experience. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
Paula Radcliffe is normally very private about her personal life but | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
while sharing precious photographs, she told me that becoming a mum is | :20:00. | :20:10. | |
:20:10. | :20:16. | ||
a mum so I didn't ever want to sacrifice that and I couldn't see a | :20:16. | :20:26. | |
time when my career was able to wind down but I didn't want it too late | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
so I thought, why not have them both? It is a dilemma with many | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
sportswomen. I carried on canoeing but felt concerned. Paula gave me | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
training advice because there is little out there. She juggled two | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
pregnancies and competing at the highest level. The first priority, | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
instead of being whatever time you can run and the quality of your | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
training, it immediately becomes the baby. I have the heart rate monitor | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
to make sure I did not push too hard. Did you deal with any negative | :20:56. | :21:03. | |
comments? Not really, most people were supportive and nice. A few | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
people were looking surprised as you would run across past them and they | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
will of the cross and then looked down! A bit of a double-take! | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
average woman is advised not to return to sport for six weeks after | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
giving birth but she was back running after just 12 days. With | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
hindsight, it was too soon because I have had a long labour and quite | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
difficult and my body just had not recovered, the ligaments were not | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
strong enough so that contributed to a sacred stress fracture. After the | :21:34. | :21:43. | |
second one, I did not run for three weeks. -- sacral stress fracture. | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
has put sport into perspective for her. It reminds you what is | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
important and brings normality back and makes you see how lucky you are, | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
to have them. Finally, another runner - Richard | :21:56. | :22:00. | |
Whitehead - and an extraordinary challenge. The Paralympic champion | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
was running with youngsters on Nottingham's beach today. Slightly | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
unusual preparation for his plan to run from John O'Groats to Lands End. | :22:08. | :22:17. | |
40 marathons in 40 days, all for charity. Everyday, it will be hard, | :22:17. | :22:23. | |
getting up in the morning, running 42 kilometres. It is not a fast pace | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
but I am having to do it for a month but for me, I am giving up one month | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
of my life to hopefully support the legacy of great written within | :22:31. | :22:36. | |
sport. So I feel it is a small part of my life that I can give and I | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
feel I have looked up the challenge now with the support my team give me | :22:39. | :22:45. | |
around me. Good luck to him. If you want to look up more about | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
the run, Richard Whitehead Runs Britain is on the web. What a brave | :22:50. | :22:55. | |
man. A lovely chat with Paula, there. | :22:55. | :22:58. | |
Now, for the first in a new series of reports on young entrepreneurs | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
who've set up their own businesses. Tonight, we meet a teenager whose | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
company promises to deliver anything the customer is craving. 19-year-old | :23:06. | :23:09. | |
Osh McDonnell from Melton in Leicestershire came up with the idea | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
for a delivery business with a difference. And, in tough economic | :23:12. | :23:15. | |
times, is determined to make it into a thriving success. Rebecca Sheeran | :23:15. | :23:25. | |
:23:25. | :23:28. | ||
Meet the teenager who delivers it all, whatever you want, Osh | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
McDonnell will deliver it. He came it -- he came up with the idea in | :23:33. | :23:40. | |
school. My slogan is we will deliver anything but babies! I thought, | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
because it is a fun business, so it needed a fund slogan. A hard day's | :23:44. | :23:50. | |
work. You take off your work clothes, and then you have | :23:51. | :23:57. | |
everything delivered. Dog food, I do a lot of prescriptions. What is the | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
most random thing you have delivered? I have taken a cat to the | :24:02. | :24:06. | |
vets and back so if I ever have dangerous animals, I would not like | :24:06. | :24:14. | |
to transport a steak or anything like that. -- a snake.I have got | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
some milk and chocolate and now it is going to the next place. The | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
worst part is probably the fact that it is 24/7. Especially at the | :24:24. | :24:31. | |
weekends, all through the night. The best part is meeting people, really. | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
I have put old lady's shopping in the fridge for them. I have met | :24:36. | :24:41. | |
people, young people, old people. I just picked up the final | :24:41. | :24:44. | |
prescription and going to the delivery. You create your own job. | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
You don't need to find one, you can make one. And then you can employ | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
people and help the community. How you doing? Good, thanks.There you | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
are, there is your milk and chocolate and your prescription. | :25:00. | :25:07. | |
That will be �9.50. I will grab your change. Also staff we cannot spare | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
off the floor here so Osh will go and pick up prescriptions and drop | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
off samples on things like that so it is rarely enforced. From meals to | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
medicine, it is all in one day's work for this entrepreneur | :25:20. | :25:28. | |
determined to grow his empire. Well, good luck, I hope he becomes a | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
multimillionaire. How lovely. Very enterprising. But can he deliver | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
:25:43. | :25:44. | ||
fact, we have got the wet weather behind us and what a difference 24 | :25:44. | :25:48. | |
hours makes because we are dry outside and although it has been | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
cloudy at times across the East Midlands, we are starting to see | :25:51. | :25:55. | |
clear spells slowly developing. The cloud gradually clearing from the | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
south of the region first. Remaining dry into the early hours of tomorrow | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
morning and just turning a bit misty out in the rural areas with a | :26:03. | :26:07. | |
minimum temperature overnight 13 Celsius, that is within towns and | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
cities so slightly lower in rural areas. It certainly felt cooler last | :26:10. | :26:15. | |
night, trying to get sleep was a bit better but we are starting off with | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
some early morning sunshine but again similar to today, the car | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
develops into the afternoon and there is a stronger chance of seeing | :26:22. | :26:26. | |
the odd light shower. Lots of them further towards the West Midlands | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
rather than the East Redlands but just the occasional light shower | :26:29. | :26:34. | |
into the afternoon and it could be slightly sharper as well, localised | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
heavy showers as we progress through the afternoon. Daytime temperatures | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
in the sunshine, 21 Celsius at the highest. Still feeling pleasant and | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
the north-easterly breeze tomorrow. We have got a weather front around | :26:46. | :26:51. | |
by the time we get to Thursday and into Friday. Thursday will be a nice | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
day again, the cloud developing with a slim chance of a shower but we | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
also have this weather front waiting to come in on its way in for Friday | :26:58. | :27:01. | |
but it is weakening, the me up against a ridge of high pressure so | :27:02. | :27:05. | |
it will increase the cloud for a time and produce a few showers as | :27:05. | :27:10. | |
well. Temperatures at around 20 Celsius and as we get closer to the | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
weekend, if you have got any plans, we have low pressure close by, it | :27:15. | :27:20. |
