Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
As unemployment goes up again, there are worries that we don't | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
have enough workers with the right skills. We need to invest in | :00:14. | :00:18. | |
education so that we get it rail engineers coming into our business, | :00:18. | :00:24. | |
so they are ready to work from the day they start with us. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
After being exposed to nuclear tests, veterans are told they won't | :00:26. | :00:28. | |
get compensation. No city status for Goole, but | :00:28. | :00:32. | |
officials say the bid has helped to put the town on the map. | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
How the real Dad's Army made secret plans to save this this East | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Yorkshire village from a Nazi invasion. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Not detailed weather forecast coming up later. -- your detailed | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
weather forecast. Good evening. | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
There are calls tonight for better training for people in East | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire who are looking for jobs. One of our | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
biggest private sector employers, Siemens, says people don't have the | :00:59. | :01:01. | |
right skills to fill their vacancies and they are having to | :01:02. | :01:11. | |
train people from scratch. In Yorkshire and Humber, the number | :01:11. | :01:15. | |
out of work has risen by 8,000 to 261,000, which is 9.8 per cent of | :01:15. | :01:23. | |
the available workforce. In Lincolnshire and East Midlands, the | :01:23. | :01:31. | |
number rose by 5000 to 187,000. That's 8.2%. The national average | :01:31. | :01:34. | |
is 8.4%. Some local companies say many of the people who are looking | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
for jobs don't have the right skills. Tim Iredale reports. | :01:39. | :01:42. | |
Around 1,600 people work for the global engineering giant Siemens | :01:42. | :01:52. | |
:01:52. | :01:56. | ||
and its gas turbine manufacturing plant in Lincoln. Siemens is one of | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Lincolnshire's largest private sector employers, and their | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
products are exported all over the world. The managing director admits | :02:01. | :02:04. | |
it is sometimes difficult to find local workers with the right skills. | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
Lincoln itself has very good people, very skilled. What we do not always | :02:07. | :02:12. | |
find immediately is people with the training. For us, we need to invest | :02:12. | :02:21. | |
in education so we get engineers coming in. They are ready to work | :02:21. | :02:24. | |
from their day they start with those. | :02:24. | :02:28. | |
There may be no shortage of people in the jobs market in Lincolnshire | :02:28. | :02:30. | |
and East Yorkshire, but the bosses of some smaller businesses claim | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
that many young people lack the basic skills needed for the | :02:33. | :02:43. | |
:02:43. | :02:43. | ||
workplace. It is a matter of finding somebody | :02:43. | :02:46. | |
who has the right basic skills, and also people who have basic common | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
sense. One of my members told me a story that she had asked an | :02:50. | :02:57. | |
assistant to find the BT bill. She looked under "B." Having gone | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
through the whole of the filing cabinet, she filed it under "F" for | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
"phone." Many young people take issue with the suggestion they do | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
not have the right qualifications. Dan and Neil attended local | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
colleges before securing apprenticeships at Siemens. Do you | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
think you people lack basic skills for the workplace? He in my opinion, | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
no, because the college gives the basic skills you need to take on a | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
more practical role here. college at Lincoln is really good | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
for engineering and has really helped me out. It is the sort of | :03:36. | :03:45. | |
courses Siemens do themselves. the prospect of new jobs created by | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
the green energy expansion on the Humber, the government will come | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
under pressure to make sure home grown workers do not miss out due | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
to a lack of skills. I am joined this evening by the | :03:58. | :04:01. | |
Conservative MP for Brigg and Goole, Andrew Percy. We heard there from | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
two companies who say young people are not being trained in the right | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
skills. Why aren't we giving young people the skills they need for the | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
jobs on offer? I think we are giving them a lot of the skills | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
they need, but for some of these jobs, I am not sure the curriculum | :04:18. | :04:28. | |
:04:28. | :04:29. | ||
is giving what we need to your people. -- younger people. | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
Siemens are saying that they don't have the right skills in Lincoln. | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
Are you worried that they will have the same problem when they bring | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
their huge investment to the Humber? It is a concern. We do need | :04:43. | :04:49. | |
people with the right skills. But employers are saying even the | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
basic skills are not there. Even clerical skills are lacking when | :04:52. | :05:00. | |
someone files the phone bill under "F." Not Lincolnshire tells me one | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
of the biggest problems is finding people with their right literacy | :05:05. | :05:10. | |
levels. Most people leave school with good qualifications, but they | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
raised an issue of the curriculum forcing people through. We have to | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
accept there are people leaving without basic skills. Your | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
government at downgrading vocational courses at GCSE levels, | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
so won't that make it even harder for young people to develop | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
practical skills? Are one issue I raised a few years ago are now as a | :05:33. | :05:39. | |
councillor locally was how we are putting a lot of people through NVQ | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
is as an alternative to GCSEs to massage the tables. We are right to | :05:44. | :05:50. | |
put some vigour into it now. We are putting more money into | :05:50. | :05:56. | |
apprenticeships. We are looking at studios schools, expanding those. | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
They will offer a much more vocational curriculum. Thank you. | :06:01. | :06:10. | |
Good to talk to you. Well, despite the rising figures on | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
the jobs front, some businesses in our region who make specialised | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
goods are reporting more positive news. For those firms, the economic | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
downturn has not been a concern. In fact, they have prospered and | :06:20. | :06:22. | |
created jobs. Paul Murphy has been looking at how these businesses are | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
surviving. Countryside Art is one of those | :06:26. | :06:33. | |
companies which has been left unscathed by the economic downturn. | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
It is continuing to expand. Here, they make designer tea-towels, oven | :06:41. | :06:43. | |
gloves and aprons. Simple items, but using a highly technical | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
:06:53. | :06:54. | ||
printing process. It's a typical niche business. | :06:54. | :06:57. | |
We seem to be unaffected by the recession. We specialise in | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
printing that is very difficult. Not many other people can actually | :07:00. | :07:10. | |
:07:10. | :07:14. | ||
do it. We have built up a wealth of experience. We can print a lot of | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
jobs other printers would turn away or find too hard. | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
Those who have monitored the economic downturn say niche | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
businesses are continuing to thrive. In the good times, they allow you | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
to do even better, and in the bad times they are a security base. | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
:07:35. | :07:37. | ||
People do not have an alternative. That's what you've captured, that | :07:37. | :07:39. | |
vital hole that people can't go somewhere else for. | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
This chocolate shop owner in Beverley agrees, and says it is | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
about offering a product others would struggle to make. | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
People are looking for something different, they are looking for | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
something special. They work hard and their money is scarce. So they | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
are thinking more about how they spend it. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Niche businesses do not have to be small like this one. | :08:02. | :08:08. | |
It is all about offering something a bit special. It is quite simple | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
to print a single colour tea towel, and a lot of other people do that. | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
When we get into the really complicated stuff, that is the sort | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
:08:25. | :08:25. | ||
of thing anyone new to printing would find difficult. | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
They have created seven jobs in the last 18 months, and plan to expand | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
further. These products require good old-fashioned skills and | :08:36. | :08:44. | |
expertise to make. They're emerging as the great survivors of the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
downturn. What do you think can be done to | :08:47. | :08:52. | |
increase the chances of unemployed people getting a job? Are they | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
getting the right training, or maybe you are unemployed and | :08:54. | :09:04. | |
:09:04. | :09:13. | ||
disagree with what you've heard. There'll be a special programme on | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
our economy next week. Local people and local business leaders will be | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
discussing unemployment and prospects for growth in East | :09:18. | :09:22. | |
Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. That's Our Economy, The Look North Debate | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
on Monday at 11.05pm here on BBC One. | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
In a moment: The shop owner who says businesses | :09:32. | :09:37. | |
in Hornsea have seen profits plummet following the opening of a | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
new supermarket. They say they were used as guinea | :09:42. | :09:48. | |
pigs to test atomic bombs in the 1950s. But today, veterans from | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
East Yorkshire and Lincolnshire who say there has tests damage their | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
health have lost their battle for compensation at the Supreme Court. | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
The Ministry of Defence has always denied any negligence. Sarah Corker | :09:59. | :10:09. | |
:10:09. | :10:13. | ||
reports. With your bags to the explosion, your eyes closed and | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
covered by your fists, you could see the bones in your fingers like | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
an X-ray. We went through something that we pray nobody else has to go | :10:24. | :10:27. | |
through. Trevor Butler from Hull was one of | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
thousands of young men sent to the South Pacific to test the atomic | :10:30. | :10:34. | |
bomb. Just months later he says his health began to fail. He lost the | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:46. | ||
sight in one eye and his spine is crumbling. But he watched as the | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
Supreme Court ruled the veterans couldn't sue the Government for | :10:48. | :10:58. | |
damages because they'd brought their cases too late. This court | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
dismisses the nine appeals. It must be bad enough for the veterans | :11:02. | :11:06. | |
together with those others whose claims may now be decided in the | :11:06. | :11:13. | |
same way to learn that they have lost this final round. I am | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
absolutely devastated. All years of pain, anguish. We have exhausted | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
every procedure in this country. The MoD has always argued there's | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
no evidence to show the tests were the only cause of their illnesses. | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
Wendy Brothers from Sleaford was in court. Her husband John flew | :11:32. | :11:42. | |
:11:42. | :11:42. | ||
through the nuclear clouds and later died of cancer. It is | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
recognition of the sacrifice is those brave men made. They have not | :11:46. | :11:51. | |
had justice. There is always another way. We will find it, and | :11:51. | :12:00. | |
we will make it. The veterans are dying at a rate of | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
three every month, but many say despite today's decision they won't | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
give up, but they're running out of places to take their case. | :12:07. | :12:15. | |
And you can read more detail about this case if you go to our website. | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
Hull's Lord Mayor, Colin Inglis, will not be the Labour Party's | :12:18. | :12:28. | |
:12:28. | :12:28. | ||
candidate for the role of police commissioner for Humberside. He's | :12:28. | :12:37. | |
been left off a list of nominees put together by the party. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Councillor Inglis wouldn't comment on the story. | :12:39. | :12:46. | |
A Horncastle man's appeared in court charged with murder. Kieran | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
Podd of Mareham Road is accused of stabbing Paul Richards-Jones, who | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
was 30. His body was found on Monday evening in the home of the | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
accused. Mr Podd, who's 36, has been remanded in custody. He will | :12:56. | :12:57. | |
appear at Lincoln Crown Court on Friday. | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Extra support and training is being given to student nurses who are | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
returning to Boston's Pilgrim Hospital. The Nursing and Midwifery | :13:03. | :13:05. | |
Council took the unusual step of removing students from the site | :13:05. | :13:08. | |
last summer over serious concerns about the standard of tuition being | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
given. It followed a highly critical report from the Care | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
Quality Commission. The CQC and the NMC say sufficient improvements | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
have been made since then. The Governors at a Lincoln Special | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
School say they won't become an academy, a move which could have | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
saved the school from closure. The County Council plans to close | :13:22. | :13:25. | |
Queen's Park School because the buildings are no longer fit for | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
purpose and there's no room to expand. The pupils will now be | :13:28. | :13:36. | |
transferred to other schools in the city which will get new buildings. | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
Still ahead tonight: Hull City's best win of the season puts them in | :13:40. | :13:46. | |
a strong position to get into the promotion play-offs. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
How plans were drawn up to protect an East Yorkshire village from Nazi | :13:49. | :13:59. | |
:13:59. | :14:21. | ||
Tonight's photo is an aerial view Thank you for that. This was taken | :14:21. | :14:27. | |
from a plane window. Good evening. Could you ask Paul to check his | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
barometer to see if it is upside down, somebody says. These high as | :14:33. | :14:37. | |
we are experiencing in Lincoln seem like lows. | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
I can do it tomorrow night. I do not know what the atmospheric | :14:41. | :14:45. | |
pressure is. I will be more useful tonight. | :14:45. | :14:48. | |
I thought you were a forecaster with man flew! | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
Let's look at the headlines. It is a similar story to today. A grey | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
start. Gradually, brightness will edge in from the West. Some of us | :15:00. | :15:04. | |
have seen some late afternoon sunshine, but the most interesting | :15:04. | :15:09. | |
thing and this pressure charter is out to the West. We will see rain | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
bearing weather systems come through on Friday night and into | :15:14. | :15:24. | |
:15:24. | :15:26. | ||
the weekend. You can see where the gaps where. They pushed into West | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
Lincolnshire. That area of cloud will move into the North Sea. In | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
the short term, it will turn out to be fairly chilly. They will be a | :15:34. | :15:40. | |
touch of ground frost in places. Generally speaking, grey skies | :15:40. | :15:50. | |
:15:50. | :16:02. | ||
again by the end of the night, with A grey start, perhaps a few bits of | :16:02. | :16:09. | |
Giselle, otherwise a dry day and we will see some breaks been produced | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:21. | ||
in the West. Temperatures should be a bit higher. We are looking at 12 | :16:21. | :16:27. | |
in Hull. 13 is possible in Lincoln. The best temperatures are around | :16:27. | :16:34. | |
the Wash. Not bad on Friday. Some sunshine and variable cloud. That | :16:34. | :16:44. | |
leaves us with an unsettled Shari I bet you are a pain at home, | :16:44. | :16:50. | |
playing for Simba the! I am not one to complain! -- | :16:50. | :17:00. | |
:17:00. | :17:02. | ||
playing for sympathy. Remember that barometer. | :17:02. | :17:09. | |
It's just two months since a new Tesco store opened in Hornsea. It | :17:09. | :17:12. | |
created 170 jobs and the supermarket said it could help to | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
keep trade in the town. But a local shopkeeper says his takings are | :17:15. | :17:19. | |
being hit by up to �2,000 a week, and trade on the town's main | :17:19. | :17:20. | |
shopping streeet has been badly affected. | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
In retail terms, it's the tale of David and Goliath. The small | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
shopkeeper going into battle with a retail giant. But Alvin Wilkinson | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
fears he won't emerge victorious. It's eight weeks since Tesco opened | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
in Hornsea. Takings are down about �1,000 a week. I am selling things | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
at below -- they are selling things at below cost price. I cannot | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
compete with it. I get my supplies from the local wholesaler. I find | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
it devastating. It used to be a vibrant street and there is hardly | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
anybody down the street now. Tesco said they consulted the public, who | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
were overwhelmingly positive. thoroughly enjoyed it. I will go | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
every week. I will take advantage of the special offers. It destroys | :18:15. | :18:21. | |
the community. The street is nowhere near as busy. They are very | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
highly priced. They could bring their products down a bit more. It | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
would help. Tesco also told us there is | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
evidence that when they open in a town, it increases footfall to | :18:36. | :18:39. | |
neighbouring shops. But whereas you can park for free in Tesco, there | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
are charges to park near the local shops. | :18:42. | :18:52. | |
:18:52. | :18:55. | ||
Today, East Riding Councillors decided those charges must stay. | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
The fees are to pay for maintenance and such like. | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
That's a big mistake according to David Bird. He remembers Tesco's | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
arrival in Beverley. He said traders have to shape up to survive. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
You have to accept that if you allow a big supermarket to come to | :19:12. | :19:17. | |
a time, it will have a significant impact on other shops and | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
businesses, and change strategies accordingly. | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
Tesco is in Hornsea to stay. It remains to be seen whether the same | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
can be said for its independent neighbours. That is another one you | :19:33. | :19:39. | |
might want to comment on. The historic port of Goole has | :19:39. | :19:41. | |
spent the last year trying to persuade the Government to | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
recognise it as a city, but people living there have been told they're | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
not included in the list of three new Cities which has been revealed | :19:48. | :19:58. | |
:19:58. | :19:59. | ||
today. They've lost out to St Asaph, a small town of 3,500 people in | :19:59. | :20:02. | |
North Wales, Chelmsford, which is the county town of Essex, and Perth | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
in Scotland. Vicky Johnson's there tonight. How disappointed are they | :20:06. | :20:14. | |
in Goole? Those behind the big says Goole has always been a small town | :20:14. | :20:24. | |

with big ambitions. Civic leaders insist that Goole was always in | :20:24. | :20:28. | |
contention. Even though the population is quite low compared | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
:20:38. | :20:39. | ||
with transferred -- Chelmsford. It seems today the only way is Essex. | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
Civic leaders hearsay while they are disappointed, they set out what | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
they intended to do. The benefits derived from that, all free | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
advertising that and get will help promote the town, and hopefully | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:06. | ||
help to attract inward investment in the town. Goole has always been | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
regarded as rank outsiders. I took to the street to see what the | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
residents here thoughts about their failed bid, how disappointed they | :21:19. | :21:26. | |
were. You have just found out that Goole has not got city status. By a | :21:26. | :21:34. | |
surprise? No, we are not. Is a disappointing? Not really. The news | :21:34. | :21:42. | |
has come through that Goole has not been chosen. Surprise, surprise! | :21:42. | :21:49. | |
have no interest in it whatsoever. Some residents regard this as a | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
joke, but civic leaders insist they are having the last laugh. They | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
wanted this to put Goole on the map, and they say they have certainly | :21:57. | :22:06. | |
:22:07. | :22:25. | ||
done that. Chalk this down as the result of | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
the season. Cardiff nearly beat Liverpool in the League Cup final, | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
but here was a rampant Tigers forcing an early goal. Straight | :22:35. | :22:44. | |
after half-time, the Tigers were at it again. To press home their | :22:44. | :22:50. | |
advantage, it was soon made three. Other teams are losing, whereas we | :22:50. | :22:57. | |
are unbeatable. If we carry on, a few more wins and draws we will be | :22:57. | :23:02. | |
right up there at the end. result propels the Tigers into the | :23:02. | :23:12. | |
:23:12. | :23:19. | ||
play-off zone. The fog it did not excuse the sloppy start at Yeovil. | :23:19. | :23:28. | |
The game looked up for the Iron, and it was, until this, 20 seconds | :23:28. | :23:33. | |
before time. It looked a comfortable win for Yeovil. You | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
have to have a belief and just keep going. You never know what can | :23:38. | :23:48. | |
:23:48. | :24:00. | ||
happen. It was a great goal. United The Home Guard, made famous by | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Captain Mainwaring and his men, spent the Second World War | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
defending us from a German invasion. But documents recently put on | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
display show how they paid special attention to protecting one village | :24:08. | :24:10. | |
in East Yorkshire. Papers have been discovered showing the county's | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
very own Dad's Army ready had made a detailed plan to defend | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
Woodmansey from Nazi attack. Anne- Marie Tasker has been finding out | :24:17. | :24:27. | |
:24:27. | :24:32. | ||
why. # Who do you think you are kidding... | :24:32. | :24:34. | |
#$$NEWLINE The classic TV series Dad's Army reflected the British | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
affection for the Home Guard. They were men unable to sign up for the | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
army but ready to fight back if the Germans had invaded. And even | :24:41. | :24:45. | |
though it might not look much of a military target, this was one of | :24:45. | :24:52. | |
their headquarters, and this a sentry post. This was done by my | :24:52. | :25:00. | |
dad in 19 bodies three. -- in 1943. They're details revealed in these | :25:00. | :25:03. | |
papers written by Prudence Blake's father, Sergeant Charles Massey. He | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
drew up detailed plans to protect the East Yorkshire village of | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
Woodmansey near Beverley, and had kept them in his loft all these | :25:08. | :25:15. | |
years. He read that practically all the Home Guard personnel have | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
access to cycles, which makes you wonder how they would defend | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
themselves against the German tanks. It was low-key for your sake they | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
never landed! Absolutely. I would not have been here. | :25:30. | :25:36. | |
So why Woodmansey? It was feared that if the Germans didn't land at | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
the coast, they'd come from the skies here ready to march on Hull. | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
And while there was a plan to protect the whole village from Nazi | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
invasion, the name of this road, German Nook Lane, got it extra | :25:45. | :25:55. | |
:25:55. | :25:58. | ||
attention. Strategically, that was an important site. The idea | :25:58. | :26:03. | |
nowadays of Nazi invasion of a quiet rural area is a museum tours | :26:03. | :26:10. | |
nowadays, but back then, it was a serious threat -- is amusing to us | :26:10. | :26:20. | |
:26:20. | :26:23. | ||
nowadays. So now we know this rural spot was ready to fight the Nazis. | :26:23. | :26:26. | |

job he could get was working in a call centre. Simon said, businesses | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
