The Army veteran facing a ?4,000 medical bill because the NHS

:00:00.:00:08.

says he wasn't entitled to free treatment.

:00:09.:00:12.

It's disgusting that they still think I am an overseas

:00:13.:00:16.

Businessed report a boost in New Year's takings as foreign

Malcolm Roberts from Scotter says although he was born

:00:50.:00:54.

that I would get a bill from the NHS for treatment to which I am

:01:34.:01:37.

Malcolm says he sent proof of his UK citizenship to the NHS

:01:38.:01:44.

and is now awaiting a response but after ringing the hospital

:01:45.:01:47.

to discuss the bill, he says he was told it was correct

:01:48.:01:50.

and he was to pay it by the middle of this month.

:01:51.:01:53.

It's disgusting the way they have treated me and it's disgusting that

:01:54.:01:57.

in spite of the information that I have given to them

:01:58.:02:03.

that they still think I am an overseas visitor and have to pay.

:02:04.:02:09.

off to a good start in 2017. Last night crowds continued to watch

:04:52.:04:57.

moments of Hull's past projected onto the buildings. The popularity

:04:58.:04:59.

of made in Hull. We did not need of made in Hull. We did not need

:05:00.:05:09.

City Of Culture. It is telling the world what we have already known.

:05:10.:05:14.

The secret is out. They can come and share it with us, it is no longer

:05:15.:05:18.

just ours, we are sharing it with the world. The interest in the

:05:19.:05:23.

installations which are here until Saturday is benefiting local

:05:24.:05:28.

business. The feedback last night, and they have done the walk. We have

people who are coming back with relatives at the weekend. It is all

The annual event is thought to date back to the 1700s.

:06:20.:06:24.

A shoulder of mutton, a crown to spend.

:06:25.:06:29.

A traditional rhyme that shopkeepers reward with sweet and coins.

:06:30.:06:40.

It's a ritual repeated up-and-down Driffield High Street.

:06:41.:06:44.

They throw money and sweets and we just grab it.

:06:45.:06:49.

I've got loads of sweets and it's been really fun.

:06:50.:06:53.

A shoulder of mutton, and a crown to spend.

Now a look at the weather forecast with Keeley Donovan.

:07:50.:07:52.

The main story being there is a lot of dry weather about but there

:07:53.:07:58.

will also be a lot of cloud around as well.

:07:59.:08:02.

Here is the satellite picture from earlier.

:08:03.:08:03.

You can see all the cloud across the UK, always

:08:04.:08:06.

We are in the best place to get some brightness.

:08:07.:08:10.

Do not be surprised if the sun doesn't come out every now

:08:11.:08:13.

The breeze will be moderate from the west.

:08:14.:08:17.

Quiet conditions but crucially it will be dry.

:08:18.:08:19.

Temperatures about average for the time of year,

:08:20.:08:22.

getting up to around six or seven degrees.

:08:23.:08:24.

Through this evening and overnight, we are going to see milder air

:08:25.:08:31.

pushing from the north, not as cold as last night.

:08:32.:08:33.

Still a lot of cloud overnight producing a few showers especially

:08:34.:08:36.

for the coast later and it is along the coast which will really

:08:37.:08:39.

become windy overnight, strong and gusty winds developing

:08:40.:08:41.

for tomorrow and as you can see temperatures down

:08:42.:08:45.

Still some cloud around but it will develop into a lovely

:08:46.:08:50.

day, plenty of sunshine, just the odd shower clipping

:08:51.:08:52.

the coast and it really will feel raw along the coastline

:08:53.:08:55.

with a strong and gusty breeze coming down from the north-west.

:08:56.:08:59.

Temperatures five or six degrees. Plenty of sunshine.

:09:00.:09:03.

A frost to start the day on Thursday and really quite cold but below

:09:04.:09:06.

freezing in quite few rural spots, plenty of sunshine once again.

:09:07.:09:10.

That is it. Peter will be back at 6:30pm. Have a good afternoon and we

:09:11.:09:23.

will see you soon. Goodbye. Panorama investigates
