Franny Moyle 's mother and father were conned out of their life | :00:00. | :00:20. | |
savings and had to sell the family home. | :00:21. | :00:24. | |
Also there are fears that Leicester 's garment industry could lose jobs | :00:25. | :00:29. | |
because of alleged sweatshops in the city. Plus the scale of fly-tipping, | :00:30. | :00:35. | |
how it continues to blight our highways and byways. And birch is | :00:36. | :00:43. | |
back. Leicester city legend returns after the heart attack that nearly | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
killed him. I said I don't feel well, then I felt my legs go, and I | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
was gone until I was in the ambulance. | :00:53. | :01:00. | |
Welcome to Thursday's programme with Dominic Heale | :01:01. | :01:03. | |
First tonight, the daughter of a couple conned out of their life | :01:04. | :01:08. | |
savings by a Leicester sales rep says the company which received | :01:09. | :01:10. | |
Franny Moyle's parents were forced to sell their home | :01:11. | :01:16. | |
after the saleswoman pressured them into paying out more than ?70,000 | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
to advertise a holiday home in Leicester-based Aspire Magazine. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
Trading Standards have backed calls for the magazine | :01:27. | :01:28. | |
Franny Moyle won criminal justice for her parents in a court of law, | :01:29. | :01:38. | |
but now she's fighting for financial justice. Her parents, | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
John and Olga, were in their 80s when they were pressured into paying | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
out ?73,000 on advertising in Leicester-based Aspire | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
magazine by their sales rep, Barbara Stone. | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
Earlier this month, 62-year-old Stone received a suspended jail | :01:55. | :01:58. | |
sentence for two fraud offences, dating back to 2010. | :01:59. | :02:04. | |
Franny says now that Stone has admitted her guilt, | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
Aspire magazine should pay the money back. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
If they had an inch of moral fibre, of course, Aspire magazine should, | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
I would hope, return the money to my father's estate. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
It would be the only appropriate thing for them to do, in my view. | :02:21. | :02:28. | |
Franny's being backed by trading standards | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
at Nottinghamshire County Council, which successfully prosecuted stone | :02:33. | :02:34. | |
as part of a huge investigation into fraudulent trading | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
Stone was also convicted of fraud against a dogs | :02:38. | :02:46. | |
charity, which paid ?14,000 to aspire magazine. | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
charity, which paid ?14,000 to Aspire magazine. | :02:51. | :02:52. | |
Aspire magazine were never prosecuted as part of this | :02:53. | :02:54. | |
investigation, so legally, trading standards cannot force them | :02:55. | :02:56. | |
However, given the devastating impact that Barbara Stone's actions | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
had on the victims on their family, we feel that aspire magazine should | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
Aspire magazine have said they were totally unaware | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
that Stone was engaged in any criminal activity. | :03:09. | :03:11. | |
I have e-mailed them repeatedly, asking whether they will be prepared | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
to pay back the money that Stone fraudulently obtained. | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
But haven't yet received a direct answer. | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
Instead, they have released a statement, saying there would be | :03:23. | :03:24. | |
a full internal investigation, adding: went on Franny's | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
Franny's parents paid out so much money they were forced | :03:29. | :03:51. | |
Franny says she will continue fighting for | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
Sarah Teale, BBC East Midlands Today. | :03:56. | :03:57. | |
A garment manufacturer has told us that Leicester's | :03:58. | :04:00. | |
reputation for cheap labour, uncovered by a TV programme, | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
is putting-off high street retailers from making clothes in the city. | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
Mick Cheema says there are many sweatshops in the city where workers | :04:11. | :04:13. | |
are being paid as little as ?3 an hour for ten hour days, | :04:14. | :04:16. | |
He's now calling for the government to step in and help. | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
From catwalk to high Street in a matter of weeks. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
Leicester is the place for fast fashion - | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
turning around an order from design to product and onto the shop floor | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
I feel as if we've got the tide against us. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
All around us, 360 degrees, you've got operators that | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
It's common knowledge in Leicester that this kind of practice | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
Workers here are paid ?7.20 an hour, poving that factories can | :04:49. | :05:00. | |
be competitive and pay the minimum wage. | :05:01. | :05:02. | |
People here who mainly speak English as a second language told me | :05:03. | :05:05. | |
they would not work for as little as ?3 or ?4 an hour. | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Today, the joint committee on human rights came to look at the reality | :05:10. | :05:27. | |
of working conditions at garment factories. | :05:28. | :05:29. | |
Leicester City Council has no regulatory power | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
Everybody says, it shouldn't be happening. | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
Everybody recognises it is happening. | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
I think one of the key things we need to do is make sure | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
that those people who are ultimately selling the goods to the consumer | :05:46. | :05:48. | |
Those who are at the very end of the supply chain. | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
We're not worried about overseas competition, we're more concerned | :05:55. | :05:57. | |
about the competition on our doorstep. | :05:58. | :05:59. | |
That is coming from the darkside operators. | :06:00. | :06:01. | |
Back at basic premier limited, the message is simple. | :06:02. | :06:04. | |
They've seen turnover rise by ?3 million and workers | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
But other factories in Leicester need change if the city | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
is going to see the true benefit of fast fashion. | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Nisha Chopra, BBC East Midlands Today. | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
Several East Midlands police forces have been told to improve. | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Government inspectors say Leicestershire Police isn't good | :06:27. | :06:29. | |
enough at investigating cases and reducing offending. | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire Police all need | :06:38. | :06:39. | |
to do more to support victims and vulnerable people - | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
IT'S also been told to improve the way it tackles anti-social | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
But the Derbyshire force had one of the top ratings in the country - | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
classed as "outstanding" in dealing with serious crime. | :06:51. | :06:52. | |
A woman's been injured during an armed robbery in Leicestershire. | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
It happened at a convenience store on Craven Street in Melton | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
The woman suffered a head injury before her attacker, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
who was wielding an axe, fled with cash. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
A few minutes earlier police had been called to a nearby | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
shop on Grange Drive, after an attempted | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
Officers are appealing for witnesses. | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
More than 50 reports of lasers being pointed | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
at aircraft were recorded at East Midlands Airport last year. | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
That's according to the Civil Aviation Authority, | :07:22. | :07:23. | |
which says there were at least 54 incidents at Castle | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
The pilots' association, BALPA, wants tougher prison | :07:27. | :07:32. | |
It's warning that the effect of lasers on pilots puts lives at risk. | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
Still to come: Leicester City legend Alan Birchenall thanks | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
This was the Birch's first public appearance since he collapsed | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
with a heart attack at an awards ceremony - and was saved | :07:49. | :07:50. | |
Vulnerable people who benefit from a community self-help scheme | :07:51. | :08:03. | |
are also saving tax payers hundreds of thousands of pounds a year. | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
That's the claim in Derby, where a 5% council tax rise | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
will still leave the authority needing to save almost ?30 million | :08:14. | :08:16. | |
The city council believes a pilot scheme called | :08:17. | :08:21. | |
Local Area Co-ordinators could be part of the answer. | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
They want Health Secretary Jeremy Hunt to support it, | :08:26. | :08:28. | |
and roll it out across the country, as Ed Collard reports. | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
First stop, a quick visit to Mary, whose sight is failing. | :08:33. | :08:41. | |
I know your nose is about in the middle... | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Mary's husband was her eyes, but he died last summer. | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
Since then, Roger has introduced her to a neighbour who reads her post | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
I found a new friend, yes, definitely. | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
Roger's taking him to meet people at a lunch club | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
In Edward's Street, as in many others around here, | :09:05. | :09:12. | |
Roger can point to dozens of other connections he's made. | :09:13. | :09:23. | |
There's three people down there, there's another who lives | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
right at the end, there's somebody here on the corner. | :09:26. | :09:27. | |
There's a chap here, there's four people on this side. | :09:28. | :09:30. | |
There's about another five or six along that way. | :09:31. | :09:32. | |
Roger Teague is one of ten local area coordinators | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
His brief is very simple: help people to help themselves. | :09:37. | :09:44. | |
Everyone's had a life, everyone's got skills, | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
It's lovely when you focus on that with people, and in doing that, | :09:47. | :09:54. | |
it helps people become more resilient and helps them to get more | :09:55. | :09:57. | |
Not surprisingly, the people Roger helps feel he's | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
If you need anything doing, he'd do it for you. | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
It's really good to have that community feeling. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
It's good to see you out and about... | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
What's less obvious, is that according to | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
Derbyshire City Council, Roger and his colleagues are saving | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
hundreds of thousands of pounds a year, simply by nipping problems | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
LACS are funded jointly, by the City Council and the NHS, | :10:23. | :10:29. | |
to the tune of half ?1 million a year. | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
But according to an independent audit by Derby University, | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
every ?1 spent on them saves other services ?4. | :10:37. | :10:42. | |
Last month, the council sent a letter to Health | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
Secretary Jeremy Hunt, urging him to give more support | :10:46. | :10:47. | |
to the scheme and roll it out across the country. | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
Parliamentarians for all political parties want a cross-party | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
agreement, and strategy to deal with this problem. | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
That needs to be done sooner rather than later, | :10:59. | :11:00. | |
It's such a shame people have lost touch with communities, | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
It doesn't take a lot to help people reconnect | :11:08. | :11:14. | |
Ed Collard, BBC East Midlands Today, Derby. | :11:15. | :11:21. | |
A Nottingham woman has had a lucky escape, after her car dramatically | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
Lucie Barker was on her way to work at Newark hospital when the vehicle | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
It burst into flames just moments later. | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
The 22-year-old also sent us these photos of the damage, describing | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Dashcam footage has captured the moment a mobility scooter | :11:41. | :11:48. | |
was spotted driving along Derby's busy inner ring road. | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
Motorist Linda Miller sent this video to police | :11:54. | :11:55. | |
questioning what could be done about this 'dangerous situation'. | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
Describing the section of the A6 as 'horrendous', | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
Mrs Miller said the scooter had no licence plate and was | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
travelling much slower than the road's 40mph speed limit. | :12:04. | :12:07. | |
Derbyshire Police say they can't investigate | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
New figures show that a Nottinghamshire bus lane is making | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
The cut-through between Nottingham Road and the A610 | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
in Nuttall is closed to other vehicles between 4pm | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
The County Council's revealed it caught almost 10,000 | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
drivers using it last year, racking up more than | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
It says every penny is being reinvested in highways. | :12:33. | :12:40. | |
A pledge to investigate all assaults against officers and staff has been | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
The seven point pledge states that being assaulted isn't | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
In the last financial year, more than 180 officers and staff | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
Stand back, put your arm down, otherwise you're going to get CS. | :12:56. | :13:06. | |
Body cam footage showing PC Tom Andrews being | :13:07. | :13:08. | |
The Nottinghamshire Police officer says the man changed | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
from cooperative to violent, eventually attempting to choke him. | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
At the time, your instincts and your training take over, | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
and you do not necessarily think about it. | :13:21. | :13:22. | |
But it's only when you watch the footage back again that you | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
It makes the hairs on your arm stand up, and get goose bumps. | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Assaults on a police officer, I feel, aren't treated as seriously | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
currently as assaults on anybody else, or taken with the seriousness | :13:35. | :13:37. | |
Recent figures from Nottinghamshire Police show that in a year, | :13:38. | :13:42. | |
there were reports of 160 assaults on police officers | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
The force are backing a campaign to tackle the problem and to provide | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
The Chief Constable, along with the Police Federation | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
and two unions, have signed a pledge to tackle violence against officers. | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
In my experience, it's always been an aspect of the job. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
But I want to say quite unequivocally, it is unacceptable, | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
completely unacceptable, and what we are here to do is not | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
From my position as Chief Constable, I want to make sure I send the right | :14:17. | :14:22. | |
message to the staff about the fact that the organisation | :14:23. | :14:24. | |
The force says it wants to raise awareness about the dangers officers | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
face and the need to ensure that those officers | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
"Keep Britain Tidy" has been a rallying cry for decades, and it's | :14:32. | :14:43. | |
Fly-tipping is on the rise and continues to blight open spaces. | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
Newly released government figures reveal our councils are having | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds to sort out the mess, | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Despite the threat of an unlimited fine and or five years in prison, | :14:57. | :15:06. | |
fly-tipping still blights, as enforcement officers | :15:07. | :15:08. | |
This is a marine paint, used for the underneath of boats, | :15:09. | :15:17. | |
and also for concrete posts within water to stop them | :15:18. | :15:19. | |
Discarded tires, along with cables stripped of their copper, | :15:20. | :15:23. | |
have also been dumped on these bridleways near Mount Sorel | :15:24. | :15:26. | |
Latest government figures show that total numbers of fly-tipping | :15:27. | :15:33. | |
instances in the East Midlands exceeded 30,000 last year, up more | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
It cost councils ?1.43 million to clear it up. | :15:36. | :15:41. | |
Derby and Bester accounted for a third of that. | :15:42. | :15:44. | |
More than 5000 black bags had to be disposed of, | :15:45. | :15:48. | |
along with 1800 white goods and 178 animal carcasses. | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
We obviously need the evidence, we rely on the public to support us. | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
Having said that, we have had 11 prosecutions and issued 80 tickets | :16:03. | :16:07. | |
Council say if they had more cash to spend on CCTV, | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
But could Leicestershire's decision to reduce tip opening times be | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
It could, but having said that, our fly-tips | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
It's no excuse if the tips are closed, when there are other | :16:23. | :16:28. | |
If you're tempted by a quote from a man in a van, beware. | :16:29. | :16:35. | |
If you haven't checked their license is valid, and the waste | :16:36. | :16:38. | |
is traced back to you, you are the one who | :16:39. | :16:40. | |
Quentin Rayner, BBC East Midlands Today. | :16:41. | :16:54. | |
Still to come - the plight of homeless gnomes. | :16:55. | :16:56. | |
A local council wants to remove the suburban tree stump these | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
But they're not going without a fight. | :17:00. | :17:08. | |
And Leicester City have admitted they're in a legal fight over | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
whether they broke financial rules three years. | :17:13. | :17:15. | |
With more on that - and the rest of the day's | :17:16. | :17:18. | |
Yes - some really interesting stuff from Leicester's | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
This fight with the Football League is about "Financial Fair Play". | :17:21. | :17:28. | |
Leicester have always insisted their loss of nearly | :17:29. | :17:30. | |
?21 million in their promotion season included ?13 million | :17:31. | :17:32. | |
It turns out the league disagrees and have charged them. | :17:33. | :17:44. | |
If they lose, it could result in a multi-million pound fine. | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
Well, wages went up by nearly ?23 million. | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
And that's before the summer contracts. | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
Profits down to ?16 million - unsurprisingly player bonuses | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
The title winning squad was valued at - brace yourself - | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
They also did some very high profile charity giving, you may remember. | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
A lot of the money is headed towards Leicester's hospitals | :18:12. | :18:14. | |
Today, captain Wes Morgan was opening a newly designed | :18:15. | :18:19. | |
Children's Outpatients department at the Leicester Royal Infirmary. | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
?2.3 million given to charity last season. | :18:23. | :18:31. | |
Now, how do you say thank you for saving my life? | :18:32. | :18:34. | |
Plenty of emotion last night as Leicester legend Alan Birchenall | :18:35. | :18:36. | |
It was his first public appearance since he collapsed at an awards | :18:37. | :18:41. | |
ceremony and was saved by people from the audience after a massive | :18:42. | :18:44. | |
cardiac arrest that very nearly killed him. | :18:45. | :18:47. | |
Then I just felt my legs go, and that was it until I | :18:48. | :18:56. | |
I did think I was a goner then, I didn't know I had | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
Seven weeks ago, he died for seven minutes. | :19:03. | :19:07. | |
Last night, a chance to say thank you to the people in the crowd that | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Alan is so grateful to you, and you are typical of the great | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
medical people in this country, and you happened to be there. | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
APPLAUSE I've got a signed shirt here, but you don't have to have it | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
LAUGHTER If I had died last year, it would be worth something. | :19:31. | :19:40. | |
Tears and laughter for the much loved man known simply as the Birch. | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
There's thousands out there who have heart attacks, | :19:45. | :19:49. | |
then there's the few who have cardiacs like me. | :19:50. | :19:52. | |
For me, every day is unreal, because I was gone. | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
For years, he's offered his support and help raise funds to provide | :19:59. | :20:06. | |
heart defibrillators around Leicestershire. | :20:07. | :20:08. | |
Not knowing one day it would be him that would need it. | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
Those defibrillators were literally life-savers. | :20:12. | :20:13. | |
Without them, you would possibly still be here, but you would not be | :20:14. | :20:17. | |
If he hadn't been there, and we hadn't been there, | :20:18. | :20:29. | |
Loved by the Leicester faithful and eager to get back to work, | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
One of the players goes up for a meeting, bangs on my door | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
every day when they have a meeting, "how you getting on, coffin dodger?" | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
Did he know that I have dodged it this time? | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
A wonderful interview, you can catch more of it on the BBC sport page. | :20:51. | :21:03. | |
Quick line from Nottingham Forest today - the club's longest serving | :21:04. | :21:06. | |
player, Chris Cohen, says he's eager to sign | :21:07. | :21:07. | |
Cohen's only just returning from another injury and is out | :21:08. | :21:12. | |
He says its down to him to win the chance to stay with Forest. | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
If you take the emotion out of it, I haven't played enough games | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
But I can't just keep saying I know I can stay fit | :21:20. | :21:24. | |
The club have a decision to make, they know that whatever | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
I'm really hopeful that I can carry on. | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
And Notts County Ladies' Jade Moore and Rachel Williams were both | :21:34. | :21:39. | |
in action last night in England's last minute defeat to France | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
England led the French until the final ten minutes. | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
The tournament, in America, features the four best sides in the World. | :21:50. | :21:53. | |
England games are live on the BBC Sport Website. | :21:54. | :22:03. | |
They are building up to major championships and looking very good | :22:04. | :22:05. | |
indeed. Good to see birch's sense of humour | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
Stillwell intact. We all know there's no place | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
like gnome, but one of our little folk may soon need to find | :22:13. | :22:15. | |
a new place to live. Yes, a Nottinghamshire woman | :22:16. | :22:18. | |
who turned the tree stump outside her house into a home | :22:19. | :22:20. | |
for a garden gnome says the council is planning to remove it - | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
despite its popularity It's really nice and | :22:25. | :22:27. | |
jolly in the street. Amazon the gnome is | :22:28. | :22:43. | |
pretty popular here. When the council cut down | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
the tree outside Geraldine's house in West Bridgeford, | :22:46. | :22:48. | |
she decided to use the stump I hit on the idea, I had | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
heard about a tree house, and I thought let's see if we can | :22:52. | :22:58. | |
make it into a tree house. The kids love it, I've been | :22:59. | :23:02. | |
going out to the car, and I've had people walk past | :23:03. | :23:04. | |
and ask me if I'd done it, and say they come past especially | :23:05. | :23:08. | |
to have a look at it. Geraldine decorates Amazon's | :23:09. | :23:10. | |
house for every occasion. Earlier this week, | :23:11. | :23:19. | |
he was celebrating pancake day. But now, the gnome | :23:20. | :23:21. | |
home is under threat. Nottinghamshire County Council's | :23:22. | :23:23. | |
contractor says it will remove the stump for safety reasons, | :23:24. | :23:25. | |
and replace it with a new tree. It all started because a dustbin | :23:26. | :23:28. | |
lorry banged the branches I'm thinking, would the council | :23:29. | :23:31. | |
please like to leave it, and will make a really good job | :23:32. | :23:37. | |
of making it into How would you feel if his | :23:38. | :23:40. | |
home was taken away? Because it's the only | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
decoration in the street. There's no point in taking it down | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
because there's no harm. I think it would be nice to keep | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
it, it's a nice thing, Earlier today, we did | :23:56. | :23:58. | |
try to talk to is on the gnome about what he made of the situation, | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
but understandably perhaps, In a statement, the contractor, | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
Via East Midlands, has said: "There will not be a Spring eviction | :24:09. | :24:21. | |
by our lumberjacks until the replacement planting takes place | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
in October 2017 and March 2018. We hope that by then Amazon | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
and Gnorma's children would have settled at school and the family | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
will be happy to move Happy ending, almost. I wouldn't | :24:37. | :24:50. | |
want to be moving out of anywhere at the moment, it's a bit chilly. It's | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
also quite unsettled as we move through the next couple of days. | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Some outbreaks of rain, but today wasn't too bad through the | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
afternoon. We did see some sunny spells as you can see here. Not a | :25:09. | :25:13. | |
bad afternoon. We finished with a lovely sunset, this photo sent in | :25:14. | :25:20. | |
from a weather watcher. Thank you. This evening and overnight, it will | :25:21. | :25:25. | |
be largely dry, quite a calm night. One of two showers, particularly in | :25:26. | :25:30. | |
the north. Variable amounts of cloud and if you clear spells as well. | :25:31. | :25:35. | |
Overnight lows of around 45 degrees, slightly cooler in the countryside. | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
Tomorrow morning, we start with a bit of brightness if you are up | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
busting, but quickly will see a band of cloud and rain coming up from the | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
south. That will be with us through much of the day and could be heavy | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
at points. Temperatures reaching a maximum between six and nine. This | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
is the bigger picture, this weather front coming up from the South will | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
bring the rain tomorrow. It does look like it should have cleared by | :26:04. | :26:06. | |
the time we move into Saturday. A bit of uncertainty as the placement | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
of that rain in the east, but looks like it should be a largely cloudy | :26:12. | :26:15. | |
day on Saturday with few outbreaks of rain. An easterly, sorry, a | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
westerly wind. The further west you are, the more in the way of | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
brightness. But a fairly cloudy day with outbreaks of rain, a similar | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
story as we move into Sunday. Largely cloudy, one or two showers, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
those temperatures struggling slightly. Maximum 8 degrees. Really | :26:34. | :26:38. | |
quite unsettled picture as we move through the next couple of days. You | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
will want your envelope tomorrow. Not brilliant, is it? I'm still | :26:43. | :26:55. | |
getting over the gnomes. Amazon, strange name for a gnome. | :26:56. | :26:58. | |
