Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
Accident numbers increase at 10% of speed camera sites across the | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
:00:17. | :00:17. | ||
Humber area. It suggests those cameras are not doing their job. | :00:17. | :00:19. | |
Perversely, they are doing the opposite. | :00:19. | :00:22. | |
The North East Lincolnshire college criticised for running struggling | :00:22. | :00:23. | |
businesses. Why East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire | :00:23. | :00:33. | |
makes the top ten when it comes to bizarre health and safety bans. | :00:33. | :00:40. | |
Stupid. What is the point of it? takes the fun out of it because | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
that is the purpose of that right. Are alive outside the theatre to | :00:45. | :00:50. | |
witness what might be the largest gathering of scooters this city has | :00:50. | :00:54. | |
seen in decades. A after today's fine conditions, we | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
have some wet weather overnight and tomorrow. Join me for a few | :00:59. | :01:06. | |
minutes' time -- joined me in a few minutes' time Fourie for forecast. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
-- for a full forecast. Some speed cameras are being used | :01:10. | :01:13. | |
as cash cows and aren't doing their job, as a road safety | :01:13. | :01:20. | |
All too often we hear about accidents and deaths on our roads. | :01:20. | :01:26. | |
New figures show that accidents have increased 10% of camera sides | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
across the Humber. The government hopes the information will help | :01:30. | :01:34. | |
people hold the local councils to account. We will hear from a | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
minister and a moment but first, the safety concerns raised by these | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
two figures. All too often we hear about | :01:42. | :01:47. | |
accidents and deaths on our roads. Cameras like these are supposed to | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
be the answer. New figures contradict that. This camera is one | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
of 89 set up by the Road Safety Partnership but today it has been | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
revealed that at nine of their sights, accidents have actually | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
increased since they were put in place. 80 cameras are doing their | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
job and their use has been defended. Business, in any other industry you | :02:14. | :02:21. | |
would be praised for it. Of the 10% we have got, the cameras have done | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
their job. We need to see if there are other effective solutions that | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
will reduce casualties. In the city where immobile camera is used, | :02:32. | :02:39. | |
accidents have doubled and there is mixed views about its use. It stops | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
people from speeding. They are a good idea where children can be. On | :02:44. | :02:51. | |
roads like this, not really. Maybe people think the only downside is | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
when people slowdown and then speed up. But they are a good. Most | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
people say they are a nuisance. figures have been released to make | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
sure these orange boxes are not being treated like cash machines | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
and the Association of British drivers says money could be but has | :03:09. | :03:15. | |
done. If the problem is to reduce casualties, this is throwing money | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
at an inappropriate solutions because most excellence on a road | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
are caused due to factors like inattention, lack of drive a | :03:23. | :03:28. | |
judgment, or driver fatigue. There are more cost-effective means than | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
speed cameras in getting drivers to slow down, such as vehicle | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
activated signs. They will not be popular because they don't trust | :03:36. | :03:40. | |
people Mailey. People are being encouraged to hold their local | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
council to account if they feel money is being wasted, but at the | :03:44. | :03:50. | |
moment, there are no plans to remove them. | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
I've been speaking to the Road Safety Minister, Mike Penning, and | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
he told me what the government hope to achieve by publishing | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
information about individual speed cameras. What we want to do is have | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
honesty. We won the motorist to understand what the cameras are | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
doing and to make sure cameras are preventing accidents and continue | :04:09. | :04:17. | |
to do so where the local camera partnerships and want that to take | :04:17. | :04:22. | |
place. Also people need to lobby their representatives to change | :04:22. | :04:28. | |
cash cows. So you accept they have been cash gals? I do accept that. | :04:28. | :04:35. | |
Half of the local authorities have as well. Some do exactly what they | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
are designed to do. We have now reduced accidents in some places | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
because of cameras. In the Humberside area, nine camera sides | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
have seen an increase in accidents, so does that suggest the cameras | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
should be taken away because they are not working? Those cameras are | :04:51. | :04:57. | |
not doing their job a but they are doing the opposite, and what I'd | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
expect the camera partnership to do is actually find out why there has | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
taken place and remove those cameras from that particular spot | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
because they are not doing their job. They are not designed to raise | :05:08. | :05:12. | |
money but reduce the amount of accidents on the road. So, you are | :05:12. | :05:16. | |
saying to the Road Safety Partnership those nine cameras | :05:16. | :05:23. | |
should go because they are cash cows? I am saying you must look | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
carefully why those accents have increased. We have given them the | :05:27. | :05:32. | |
autonomy and to money, and it is up to them to reduce casualty rates. | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
Without publishing these figures, the public and motorist would never | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
know whether those cameras would do their job. If local people have got | :05:40. | :05:45. | |
the figures, they know now which cameras are working, can be asked | :05:45. | :05:50. | |
for them to be removed? They should be working through their MP, and | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
the local councillors, to say to the local camera partnership, these | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
cameras aren't working. This is the evidence we have, and so what are | :06:00. | :06:06. | |
you going to do about it? And they should lobby for other measures to | :06:06. | :06:10. | |
reduce levels of accidents. A very interesting to talk to youth. Thank | :06:10. | :06:20. | |
you. So what do you think about this? Should some of the speed | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
cameras go? Let's have some of your thoughts on this. You can e-mail or | :06:26. | :06:35. | |
:06:36. | :06:42. | ||
Now, still on speed cameras, yesterday we revealed how drivers | :06:42. | :06:44. | |
caught speeding in Lincolnshire could face even greater penalties | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
if they refuse to say who was driving at the time of the offence. | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
Lincolnshire Police claim more people are refusing to own up after | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
being caught on camera. But one local company was fined over �2,000 | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
for failing to admit who was behind the wheel. | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
Here's just a few of your responses: Tracey asks: "What about | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
the right to remain silent? How can you be fined for not giving the | :07:10. | :07:20. | |
:07:20. | :07:44. | ||
name of the driver when we have Thank you very much indeed for all | :07:44. | :07:46. | |
of those. In a moment, campaigners claim our | :07:46. | :07:48. | |
two nearest children's heart surgery units can be saved, despite | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
the results of a public A college in North East | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
Lincolnshire has been criticised for investing public money in | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
businesses that have lost hundreds of thousands of pounds. The Grimsby | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
Institute says running the companies allowed students to gain | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
valuable work experience but has now decided to close all but four | :08:08. | :08:16. | |
of them. Tarah Welsh reports. The future of Floral Hall is | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
uncertain. The gardens have been run by the local college for a | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
decade, but now the Grimsby Institute is pulling out. And this | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
isn't the only venture that the institute's letting go. The college | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
has invested in several loss-making businesses in recent years. If you | :08:35. | :08:43. | |
look at the golf club, in the last year they lost �100,000 which, | :08:43. | :08:47. | |
seemingly, again, there is no reason why a college should be | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
sustaining these kinds of commercial activities and losing | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
this much money on it. The college bought the Laceby Manor golf club | :08:54. | :08:58. | |
in 2007 but sold it earlier this year. Its accounts show it lost | :08:58. | :09:07. | |
Humber Construction lost �450,000 over the same period. Image Studios, | :09:07. | :09:14. | |
a production company, lost �139,000. Some companies did make a profit | :09:14. | :09:16. | |
but the skills funding agency confirmed that the college | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
disclosed a deficit of �469,000 last year but said it was in | :09:19. | :09:28. | |
The former vice-principal of Franklin College says it is normal | :09:28. | :09:38. | |
:09:38. | :09:38. | ||
for colleges to set up businesses. With the fact colleges have run | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
training restaurants, the prime purpose there is to provide a | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
setting for the students that a training as caterers, not to make a | :09:50. | :09:54. | |
profit. We asked the college for an interview and they declined. But we | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
did receive a statement. The new principal, Sue Middlehurst, said | :09:56. | :09:59. | |
the college generated almost �12 million of revenue last year and | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
has good financial reserves for projects like its new University | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
Centre. It said a review concluded that some of its companies should | :10:06. | :10:10. | |
close as they no longer added value to the Group's strategic goals. As | :10:10. | :10:17. | |
of August, they only have four businesses. Three of which are | :10:17. | :10:22. | |
profitable. I am delighted they have got the focus back on to | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
learning and teaching, and making sure that the quality of the | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
operation is beyond doubt. But some will still ask what the focus had | :10:31. | :10:40. | |
been in the past. Rail passengers expense destruction today because | :10:40. | :10:46. | |
of industrial action. All-First Trans Pennine services were | :10:46. | :10:53. | |
cancelled. The train drivers' union is in dispute with the company on | :10:53. | :11:01. | |
pay. Another strike is going to take place on Friday. Residents in | :11:01. | :11:04. | |
Hedon say a new odour control unit being installed by Yorkshire Water | :11:04. | :11:07. | |
is ten years too late. This afternoon, the company unveiled its | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
multi-million pound plan to the public, after longstanding | :11:09. | :11:12. | |
complaints about the smell from its Saltend water treatment works near | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
Hull. There is always going to be some odour around, but we are very | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
confident in our solution. We are investing �3.5 million but we | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
believe strongly the solution will significantly reduce the odours. | :11:27. | :11:34. | |
am sceptical. I realise they are putting money into this. But we | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
won't know how effective that is until next year. I do think they | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
are listening now and it has taken too long to get to this point. The | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
question is, will it work for? Yorkshire's nearest children's | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
heart surgery unit looks more likely to face closure, after being | :11:52. | :11:54. | |
voted among the least popular options in a public consultation. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
The NHS is looking to keep just six specialist centres open across | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
England. Lincolnshire's closest unit in Leicester faired better in | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
the poll but campaigners say they'll carry on fighting to keep | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
both units open, as Anne-Marie Tasker reports. | :12:08. | :12:10. | |
Three-year-old Harvey is now fighting fit after an operation to | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
fix a hole in his heart. He had surgery in Leeds in February but | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
his family say it would have been much harder if they'd had to travel | :12:19. | :12:26. | |
further from their home near Hull. As parents, you are torn between | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
your sick child in hospital having heart -- life-saving heart surgery | :12:31. | :12:37. | |
and other trout that means you. For somebody to bring him to visit us | :12:37. | :12:40. | |
meant everything. Have you been in Newcastle, would it have been | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
difficult? Yes. Cost wise, time- wise. Becki has spent months | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
fighting the plans to move heart services away from Leeds. After the | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
NHS said it would be best to pool surgical expertise in fewer centres, | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
it's asked the public and hospitals where those centres should be. The | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
consultation received more than 75,000 responses. They showed most | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
individuals want to see six centres including Leicester. But most of | :13:06. | :13:09. | |
the organisations polled wanted six that don't include either Leeds or | :13:09. | :13:15. | |
Leicester. But doctors at Leeds General Infirmary say the way it | :13:15. | :13:22. | |
was presented in the poll was weighted against them. The fact we | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
were only in one out of four options meant we were always going | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
to be disadvantaged, and we felt we should have been in more than one | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
in four options. We are not disheartened, we know it is right | :13:35. | :13:39. | |
for the patients and for the people in Yorkshire and Humber for the | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
service to remain in Leeds. It is people -- And people in | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
Lincolnshire think it's right their nearest centre in Leicester stays | :13:47. | :13:49. | |
open, too. They feel protest rallies have paid off with patients | :13:49. | :13:54. | |
ranking it among the most popular in the poll. Are you can improve | :13:54. | :13:59. | |
quality and services at hospital, but you cannot move it so easily, | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
so we believe where it is is very important. Families like Becki's | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
won't know the NHS's final decision until the end of the year. And | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
:14:16. | :14:18. | ||
despite today's report, she says And of course that is a story we | :14:18. | :14:24. | |
will continue to fall. Still ahead tonight: In the top ten - our | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
councils are making the list on the governments most bizarre safety | :14:27. | :14:36. | |
bans. The first generation of adolescents | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
to be swiftly mobile does not have to travel far to find trouble. | :14:40. | :14:50. | |
:14:50. | :14:50. | ||
how one of the country's first youth cultures is living on in Hull. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
If you have a picture you are proud of send it in. This photo was taken | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
when they were building a new Amusement Arcade in Skegness. | :15:00. | :15:08. | |
Another picture tomorrow night. A rare treat tonight, as Keighley | :15:08. | :15:14. | |
Donovan is with us. Did you know you were in the Grimsby Evening | :15:15. | :15:20. | |
Telegraph last night? I did not. dad said be the article. Bets are | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
being taken on who Jennifer Lopez's next boyfriend will be. Barry asked | :15:26. | :15:36. | |
:15:36. | :15:38. | ||

:15:48. | :15:52. | ||
There is a yellow warning in place for rain. Rain could be headed it - | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
- very heavy tonight. We have had good weather today but tomorrow it | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
will go downhill. The pressure charts are still very unsettled and | :16:06. | :16:10. | |
things should improve over the Bank Holiday weekend. You can see how | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
cloud has increased through the afternoon and it is now beginning | :16:13. | :16:19. | |
to produce one or two showers. Those will push away this evening | :16:19. | :16:21. | |
and cloud will thicken the with outbreaks of rain spreading | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
northwards. Some of this will be a very heavy and thundery. The sun | :16:27. | :16:37. | |
:16:37. | :16:44. | ||
will rise in the morning at at 5:58. Some heavy and thundery rain in | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
places but it will improve slowly. But the rain will become more | :16:48. | :16:58. | |
showery and he's northwards. Not too bad on Friday. Today, up to 22 | :16:58. | :17:01. | |
Celsius. Because of the wet start tomorrow, temperatures will | :17:01. | :17:11. | |
:17:11. | :17:13. | ||
struggle. As I mentioned earlier, still fairly unsettled on Friday. | :17:13. | :17:16. | |
Showers and longer spells of rain but the Bank Holiday weekend looks | :17:16. | :17:26. | |
:17:26. | :17:28. | ||
promising. 5000 to one, I can't believe that! You can go off people. | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
Dodgems driven as they should be driven. Not something you'll have | :17:33. | :17:36. | |
seen at Butlins in Skegness where for years now, you've not been | :17:36. | :17:39. | |
allowed to deliberately bump fellow drivers. Today, that policy made it | :17:39. | :17:42. | |
onto a list of bizarre bans where the government says health and | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
safety law has been wrongly used to restrict activities. Also on the | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
list, a bylaw limiting kite flying on East Yorkshire's beaches. Phil | :17:50. | :18:00. | |
:18:00. | :18:01. | ||
Connell reports on what's being called an epidemic of excuses. | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Rules and regulations and warnings over health and safety - they are a | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
part of modern-day culture. For the government list of so-called | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
:18:19. | :18:21. | ||
lunatic rules - a ban on dodgem bumping has come out second. In | :18:21. | :18:27. | |
Skegness, but once a band for their dodgems and doing what they do best. | :18:27. | :18:36. | |
-- Butlins. It's no fun if you can't bump - that's the point of it. | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
Butlins says there are no bumping policy allows even young drivers to | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
experience the ride and safety. The rules have been described as | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
rules have been described as stifling. We don't want people to | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
come down and say it you breaking rules and regulations. If you want | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
to fly you Kate, fly a kite, and if you want to play conkers, play | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
conkers. Top of the list is Wimbledon, when during wet | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
conditions this year, spectators were banned from Henman Hill. Here | :19:07. | :19:10. | |
in East Yorkshire, health and safety rules imposed by the council | :19:10. | :19:17. | |
have been welcome it. They are a number six on the hit list. Here, | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
restrictions on Kate's have Government Ministers hot under the | :19:19. | :19:29. | |
collar. The council says it is it bans on extreme sports like Kate | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
suffering that are on the hit-list. There is no ban on flying kites in | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
East Riding, and there never has been. Back on the dodgems, for one | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
reporter it was a great day at the seaside. Politely unsafely avoiding | :19:43. | :19:48. | |
as many people as possible. Just before we came on air I spoke | :19:48. | :19:50. | |
to Luise Vassie from the Institution of Occupational Safety | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
:20:00. | :20:02. | ||
and Health and asked her what she made of it. We think it's great and | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
the welcome the Minister's statement today. It reiterates | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
something we have been saying for some time - that these stories are | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
nothing to do with health and safety, and real health and safety | :20:14. | :20:21. | |
is about looking after people's lives and health while the at work. | :20:21. | :20:27. | |
This may be surprising to some coming from you. Are some of the | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
rules unnecessary? I think they have little to do with health toot | :20:32. | :20:37. | |
and safety and more to do with banning things. Health and safety | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
is not about pointless paperwork or these bans. How have we got in this | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
problem in this country? I think we have used that as an excuse to hide | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
behind. When someone does not want to do something, perhaps because it | :20:52. | :20:57. | |
is difficult and involves a little more time and effort, if we see | :20:57. | :21:01. | |
health and safety as the reason for not doing it, people sit up and | :21:01. | :21:08. | |
think, I might get sued. It creates a fear element which has really | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
unnecessary. People should be having sports days and festivals | :21:13. | :21:20. | |
and having fun. Do other countries have this over-zealous approach? | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
think not. It is something we are suffering from. If you want to | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
tackle it and take forward what the minister has said today, we need to | :21:30. | :21:38. | |
overcome -- all become a little more risks savvy. Let's make sure | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
the next generation we turnout and a little more savvy and risk | :21:43. | :21:53. | |
:21:53. | :21:53. | ||
intelligent. What needs to change then to allow | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
genuine activities to take place and get away from this culture of | :21:56. | :22:01. | |
blaming health and safety? You can contact us as usual. | :22:01. | :22:03. | |
An RAF servicewoman from Lincolnshire has been speaking | :22:03. | :22:06. | |
about becoming the first woman ever to complete an international | :22:06. | :22:08. | |

:22:28. | :22:30. | ||

to have done it. I am also shatter it, I cant wait for tomorrow when I | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
don't have to do any exercise. Brilliant! | :22:40. | :22:42. | |
A Lincolnshire market town which was given lottery money to revive | :22:42. | :22:52. | |
rural life will feature tonight in a BBC One series. Caistor is one of | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
six communities seen in Village SOS. Residents received a grant from the | :22:56. | :22:59. | |
Big Lottery Fund to try and regenerate the town. They used the | :22:59. | :23:09. | |
money to create an Arts and Heritage Centre. You can see that | :23:09. | :23:18. | |

life in the 1960s. It has not died out as a gathering in Hull tonight | :23:23. | :23:32. | |
is proving. What is this in aid of? Have you ever seen so many scooters | :23:32. | :23:37. | |

revved up tonight ahead of the opening night of the play of the | :23:47. | :23:51. | |
movie Quadrophenia, which is the most iconic movie for any scooter | :23:51. | :24:01. | |
:24:01. | :24:03. | ||
rider, that really does appeal to all generations. | :24:03. | :24:06. | |
The first generation of adolescents to be swiftly more well does not | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
have to travel far to find trouble. The mode of transport for the Mods, | :24:11. | :24:18. | |
the scooter. It was the decade when the teenager was born - or when you | :24:18. | :24:28. | |
:24:28. | :24:34. | ||
were identified by what you wore it and what you wrote. It's in the rat | :24:34. | :24:43. | |
catcher been a cult classic film Quadrophenia. Orchid and! Dodd he | :24:43. | :24:50. | |
looks smart! On a scooter! brings back many nostalgic memories | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
and it is hope those memories come alive on stage tonight, as the | :24:54. | :25:02. | |
screenplay of the film makes its stage premiere. I was at a Roger | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
dotty gig which was leaflet did, and I soon as I saw that leaflet, I | :25:07. | :25:16. | |
thought I was at the last Who get when they play Quadrophenia. It is | :25:16. | :25:25. | |
an obsession that spans generations. I am told it don't mean a thing if | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
it ain't got that blind, and despite certainly has the blink. | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
You are the owner of the state and the organiser of this amazing | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
gathering. Yes, I am. Why did he want to do this? This is for the | :25:39. | :25:46. | |
opening night of Quadrophenia but what is it about it that appeals? | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
We thought it was a fantastic opportunity to find all of this | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
together on an area that we have a common interest in. Quadrophenia is | :25:56. | :26:03. | |
such an iconic film and been so much to us, it is a great Prix | :26:03. | :26:09. | |

of the play Quadrophenia, and we have an original cast member here | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
this evening. Gary Cooper. It has become a cult movie. Did you think | :26:23. | :26:29. | |
back then it would become like this? Not at the time. It was just | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
three months of doing something you enjoy in being an actor in a movie. | :26:33. | :26:38. | |
I did not think there would be all of this. You're still being stopped | :26:38. | :26:43. | |
in the state, are in due? All the time, on the bus and so on. Thank | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
you for coming along. It runs until Saturday, but there are only a few | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
