Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight. Our top story: | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
Trial and retribution, but a week after the riots we ask if justice | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
is really being done. We will be talking to the head of | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
the Crown Prosecution Service in the North West about how the | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
rioters have been dealt with. 4,000 jobs at risk. MBNA announce | :00:21. | :00:27. | |
they want to sell their credit card division, but at what cost? | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
Relief at last. The teenager who suffers the agony of arthritis is | :00:30. | :00:40. | |
:00:40. | :00:43. | ||
given a trial drug which has changed her life. It took six weeks | :00:43. | :00:46. | |
until I noticed a proper deference when I could get out of the | :00:46. | :00:56. | |
:00:56. | :00:57. | ||
wheelchair and walk. And how one couple have been | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
reunited with an old friend, thanks to the local council. | :01:03. | :01:06. | |
And that story about the couple who have been reunited with the bench | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
they did their courting on is our e-mail subject tonight. Let us know | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
what reminds you of your courting and why. E-mail, Facebook or Tweet | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
us now. But first, the sentencing of those | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
convicted of taking part in the rioting and looting has been the | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
subject of some controversy with claims that the magistrates had | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
been told to dish out tough sentences. Today in Manchester the | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
first Crown Court cases were heard and the Judge, Andrew Gilbart QC, | :01:32. | :01:35. | |
explained exactly why he believed those who had taken part in mob | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
violence should be dealt with more severely than if the offences had | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:59. | ||
been committed in isolation. If the magistrates court had wanted | :01:59. | :02:03. | |
it to be seen to be tough on the rioters, this charge was not in any | :02:03. | :02:07. | |
mood for going soft on them. He said that the acts they had | :02:07. | :02:15. | |
admitted committed -- committing could not be judged in isolation. | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
There were four defendant in the dock today. He said, those who take | :02:21. | :02:31. | |
:02:31. | :02:39. | ||
part in these activities must No doubt, his words will come as | :02:39. | :02:43. | |
some comfort to the victims for lost property, businesses and homes | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
in those disturbances. I have been to meet one of those victims today. | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
This is what's left of the internet cafe Raaz Sathwilkar spent years | :02:51. | :02:58. | |
building up. But the mob didn't stop at ruining his business. They | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
rampaged upstairs they set fire to the flat where Raaz, his wife and | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:12. | ||
five children lived. This is the living room. Everything has gone. | :03:12. | :03:22. | |
What was over here? My children's computer. Everything has gone. | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
Having completely ransack your business, they have come up here | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
and set fire to your home? Yes. What you think about people who | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
could do something like that? Animal People. A human life cannot | :03:35. | :03:43. | |
do that. What sort of punishment should they get? They should go to | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
jail and not come out. His sense of anger at all this and his desire | :03:47. | :03:50. | |
for justice is understandable. The police and the courts have been | :03:50. | :03:53. | |
keen to ensure people such as Raaz get justice. Hundreds of arrests | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
have been made. Dozens have already been processed by the courts. Today, | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
the first four to face a Crown Court judge appeared in Manchester | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
Crown Court for sentence. This woman's 14-year-old son is | :04:01. | :04:04. | |
currently locked up waiting to learn of his punishment for | :04:04. | :04:08. | |
burglary during the disturbances in Manchester. She has no doubt he | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
must be punished. I fully support the fact that he is on remand at | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
the moment because he has done something wrong and he has accepted | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
that. I have tried everything to keep him on the straight and narrow. | :04:22. | :04:31. | |
He is very vulnerable to suggestions from other people. | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
feels she and the rest of the family are also being punished for | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
events that were outside of their control. I could be affected. I | :04:37. | :04:41. | |
have a one-year-old son and it is scary. But with memories of all | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
this still raw, the need form justice to be done, and be seen to | :04:45. | :04:52. | |
be done, will be paramount. Let me tell you more about the four | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
people who appeared here at Manchester Crown Court today. | :04:55. | :05:00. | |
Stephen Carter is 26. He admitted picking up bags of clothes which | :05:00. | :05:07. | |
had been stolen from the city centre store. David Essex -- | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
another man admitted collecting a TV screen which had been stolen. | :05:12. | :05:21. | |
118 year-old -- and 18-year-old man was given two years in a young | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
offenders' institution. A heroin addict got 10 months, suspended for | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
two years, for picking up a bag of look. In Chester, two men have | :05:35. | :05:39. | |
appeared in court today, charged with inciting riots through the | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
:05:49. | :05:51. | ||
internet. They got for your sentences each. -- they got four | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
year sentences each. So, seven days on from the riots, | :05:54. | :05:56. | |
what has the impact been on businesses? Are shoppers staying | :05:56. | :05:59. | |
away from the worst hit areas or defying the criminals and | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
reclaiming their streets? Dozens of stores at Salford's Shopping City | :06:02. | :06:05. | |
were attacked by looters. Five are still too badly damaged to reopen. | :06:05. | :06:08. | |
Our reporter has been back to speak to some of those affected. | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
No stock means no income for Wayne and Stephen. They spent six years | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
building this business up. It took rioters a matter of minutes to | :06:16. | :06:21. | |
destroy it. It will take �60,000 and four weeks of hard work before | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
:06:31. | :06:31. | ||
they can reopen. We don't know how much business we will lose from | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
this. That is the scary thing. are not frightened of it happening | :06:36. | :06:43. | |
again. The big fear is trying to get the public backing to the shop. | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
-- back into the shop. That is not a problem for Nasser Iqbal. | :06:47. | :06:50. | |
Business is booming because on the other side of the precinct one of | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
his competitors had his shop destroyed. It is sad to see it | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
happen this way. My heart goes out to the other gentleman whose | :06:58. | :07:06. | |
business was affected. The man in charge of the centre says visitor | :07:06. | :07:10. | |
numbers were on the rise for. the first couple of days, the | :07:10. | :07:15. | |
figures were lower. As of yesterday, it seems to be back to normal. | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
Slowly but surely, we are getting back to normality. Has this pitch | :07:20. | :07:30. | |
:07:30. | :07:32. | ||
you off? No, why should it? atmosphere is awful. One week after | :07:32. | :07:37. | |
we saw the worst elements of this community, here is the best. These | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
Army Cadet are giving up their time to improve the look of this | :07:40. | :07:48. | |
shopping centre. We're not all that bad. It is a small minority of | :07:48. | :07:56. | |
teenagers that are for. Near enough of this has been done. I am proud. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Despite their best efforts, it will take more than a lick of playing -- | :08:02. | :08:06. | |
lead of paint to erase what happened here. Bosses say the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
fightback has started and the fortunes of this centre will | :08:10. | :08:13. | |
improve. Joining me now is Nazir Afsal who | :08:13. | :08:18. | |
is head of the Crown Prosecution Service in the North West. Let me | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
ask you whether you are comfortable with the speed in which these cases | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
are being rushed through the courts and whether there can be proper | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
preparation and assessment of these cases? They were not rushed. These | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
are unprecedented times. What we saw last week is unprecedented, | :08:38. | :08:45. | |
solar response must match that. I have been making sure that all my | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
prosecutors apply the code and bring the cases to court that need | :08:48. | :08:54. | |
to be kept -- need to be brought to court. This is about swift justice, | :08:54. | :09:02. | |
not rushed. Last week, people were shocked. The need to see their | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
confidence in justice has been restored. We want to help, by | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
bringing these cases into court. Some of those accused are saying it | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
is too fast and too bewildering and they're not getting a chance to | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
prepare themselves, which has the right. That is not true. They will | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
undoubtedly have legal representation in court. We had | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
overnight courts running. They have been given legal advice and the | :09:28. | :09:34. | |
evidence against them. They have then entered a guilty pleas. The | :09:35. | :09:38. | |
people who were seen today accepted their guilt on the basis of | :09:38. | :09:43. | |
evidence. The judge had all the information about them before the | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
court and sentenced them accordingly. The lot should be calm | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
and considered and free of emotion. Are you convinced that it is or has | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
there been an knee-jerk reaction here to issue a big deterrent to | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
other people? With tougher sentences than normal? Deterrence | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
has always been allowed in terms of sentencing. Context is important. | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
Last week, we had the worst disturbances we have encountered in | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
decades. It was important for us to be able to demonstrate that we | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
recognise what happened last week and those were response will have | :10:22. | :10:26. | |
to pay the consequences for their actions. Sentencing is a matter for | :10:26. | :10:30. | |
the judge, but I don't think any decision made by the judge today | :10:30. | :10:36. | |
could be criticised. He made it very clear that the context was | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
import and. There was a young mother who slept through the riots | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
but received one pair of shorts the next day from friends. She was | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
jailed for five months for that. That sentence would not have been | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
anything like that, had it been a week before the riots. Is it right | :10:52. | :10:57. | |
that it should be so much harsher because of what happened? | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
Absolutely. Without Handlers, there are no thieves. Whoever has | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
properties that was stolen on the night, whoever was involved in the | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
damage that happened, they have to be aware that the sentence they | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
will be given will fit the crime because of the impact it had on our | :11:14. | :11:20. | |
local communities. Thank you. 4,000 jobs are in the balance in | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
Chester as the biggest private- sector employer plans to leave the | :11:23. | :11:27. | |
city. Bank of America runs it's UK credit card division from MBNA | :11:27. | :11:31. | |
offices in Chester. But the company's announced it's closing | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
that arm of its business. Our Economics Correspondent joins us | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
from Chester Business Park now. That is a bit of a finance hub in | :11:40. | :11:49. | |
the North West, isn't it? It certainly has. Almost every | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
single building you can see behind three is a finance house of some | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
kind. By far the biggest player is Bank of America. Lloyds Banking | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
Group, Marks and Spencers money and some others are also here. Between | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
them, they employ 8,200 people. Over the past couple of years, | :12:08. | :12:14. | |
there have been losses in the sector of 270 jobs. That is about | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
20% of the sector. The last thing they want her anymore job losses | :12:19. | :12:28. | |
here at Bank of America. Tell me more about the recent | :12:28. | :12:34. | |
announcement. Yesterday, employees were told that | :12:34. | :12:42. | |
the company wants to exit from this division. That could mean that the | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
pull-out and lose all of the jobs or it could mean that they sell the | :12:45. | :12:50. | |
company as a going concern. Yesterday, they did that in Canada. | :12:50. | :12:54. | |
That is the hope for here. Why are the ditching this part of | :12:54. | :13:02. | |
their business and will they find a light we buyer? -- a likely buyer? | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
They say they are going to move into more profitable commercial | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
business. The financial press and America is highlighting the bad | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
mortgages that were sold at the start of the housing crisis. Are | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
they likely to find a buyer for this business? Let me just tell you | :13:20. | :13:26. | |
that at the start of this year, Barclaycard what one credit card | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
company as a going concern. At the end of this year, they will close | :13:30. | :13:35. | |
out -- closed down that head office with the loss of 600 jobs. The hope | :13:35. | :13:45. | |
is that history will not repeat A man who died after a crane | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
collapsed in Lancashire has been named as Lindsey Easton. He was | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
from Halifax and he died at the Scout Moor Quarry at Ramsbottom | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
yesterday. They held their executive -- Health and Safety | :13:57. | :14:01. | |
Executive and the police are investigating. | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
No further action will be taken after Liverpool Community College | :14:05. | :14:08. | |
after a government report found it had taken money for students that | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
should not have been on courses. It was said that the Skills Funding | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
Agency had already dealt with the matter and the college has been | :14:16. | :14:23. | |
ordered to pay back �80,000. Coming up: Where did you meet the | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
love of your life? For this couple, it was that bench. Let us know your | :14:28. | :14:33. | |
story. And the Manchester City new boy | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
impressed us all, but despite this Cracker, his boss expects more. | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Adding he needs to improve with the 18th. -- I think he needs to | :14:46. | :14:56. | |
improve with the team. A driver fatigue was the likely | :14:56. | :15:03. | |
cause of a train rolling backwards at 50 mph in the north-west. It was | :15:04. | :15:07. | |
close to derailment when the driver finally put the brakes on. The | :15:07. | :15:11. | |
incident has led to calls for changes in the way that night | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
shifts are managed. The thousands of tons of freight | :15:16. | :15:21. | |
moving along the railways without incident every year. But in the | :15:21. | :15:26. | |
early hours of August 17th last year, on this stretch of the West | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Coast main line on Cumbria, there was near disaster. The train was | :15:32. | :15:38. | |
travelling uphill between T Bay and chapeau on routes to Glasgow, but | :15:38. | :15:44. | |
it claimed to a halt and started rolling backwards. -- it came to a | :15:44. | :15:50. | |
halt. It weighed 715 tons and was 500 metres long. It rolled | :15:50. | :15:55. | |
backwards for four-and-a-half minutes and cover 2.2 miles at a | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
reach of 50 mph. Signals blocked the line to prevent any collision | :16:01. | :16:04. | |
and luckily there were no trains in the area at the time. Nobody was | :16:04. | :16:11. | |
hurt and the train was stopped by the driver before heading the side. | :16:11. | :16:18. | |
-- hitting. Rail accident report said that it happened because the | :16:18. | :16:26. | |
driver was suffering from fatigue. It warned that the matter of the | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
mathematical model would need to be adopted for people working night | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
shifts. This stretch of line has seen tragedy before. In 2004, four | :16:36. | :16:40. | |
workers were killed by a runaway train her. The report recommends | :16:40. | :16:45. | |
that companies look closely at shift patterns. They should limit | :16:45. | :16:48. | |
the duties of drivers when they worked the first in a series of | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
night shifts. The company is working on the recommendation and | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
the Office of Rail Regulation is reviewing guidance on the way that | :16:57. | :17:04. | |
companies manage driver fatigue. For years, 16-year-old Dannii | :17:04. | :17:09. | |
Rowley lived in almost constant pain. She spent much of her time in | :17:09. | :17:11. | |
a wheelchair unable to do the simplest things like walking, | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
swimming and playing. She has a type of juvenile arthritis that | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
affects one in 10,000 people. Then, she was offered the chance to | :17:20. | :17:24. | |
take part in the trial of a new drug by doctors at Alder Hey | :17:24. | :17:29. | |
Children's Hospital. She says the drug, Tocilizumab, has changed her | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
life and hopes that one day it will help people like her. | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
Two-and-a-half years ago, this, the simplest of tasks, would have been | :17:41. | :17:44. | |
impossible for Dannii Rowley. The pain was routine, often constant | :17:44. | :17:50. | |
and always debilitating. What was the pain like? It was like somebody | :17:50. | :17:55. | |
was stabbing me over and over again. She was diagnosed with systemic | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
juvenile arthritis at five years old. I could not walk for a far | :18:00. | :18:05. | |
distance. It was painful to walk. I was in a wheelchair. I could not go | :18:05. | :18:09. | |
to school and I could not spend time with my friends. They stopped | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
asking me to come out eventually because they knew would that I | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
could not. A lot of the time, she didn't even know when she was in so | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
much pain because it was so severe that we would have to go to the | :18:22. | :18:29. | |
hospital or are we would have to go because the pain was just a way of | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
life and she would not tell us until the last minute. The doctors | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
tried drug after drug. The pain was temporarily reduced but then came | :18:36. | :18:42. | |
back with a full force. A couple of doses and a sick child can be a | :18:42. | :18:49. | |
wild child. Then she was given this, and you drug on trial called | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
Tocilizumab. It has made a dramatic difference for some patients. | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
Within one or two doses of the treatment, their condition can be | :18:58. | :19:05. | |
switched off, even. We are able to virtually stop all other treatment. | :19:05. | :19:09. | |
Within one day, she had noticed an improvement. After a month, she was | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
back on her feet. He took about six weeks until we noticed a proper | :19:14. | :19:19. | |
defence where I could get up out of the wheelchair and walk. What was | :19:19. | :19:25. | |
it like? Amazing because I could join in with everyone. NICE that | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
makes recommendations to the NHS is studying the trial information. She | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
now wants to start college and wants to become a research next. -- | :19:37. | :19:41. | |
research nurse. A remarkable change. | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
Hundreds of screaming girls had been out since 5am this morning to | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
catch a glimpse of X-factor finalists, One Direction, at | :19:48. | :19:53. | |
Salford Quays. The band have been promoting their new single which is | :19:53. | :19:59. | |
out next month. Manchester United's owners are | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
considering selling shares on the Singapore stock market to help | :20:03. | :20:08. | |
reduce debt. It is one of the number of refinancing options being | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
examined by the Glazer family. Their only considering selling a | :20:12. | :20:19. | |
minority stake, but if successful, it could raise �400 million. | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
Manchester City's sponsorship deal with Etihad Airways is to be | :20:23. | :20:29. | |
investigated by UEFA. The ten-year deal reportedly worth �400 million | :20:29. | :20:33. | |
is an attempt to get around European football stripped finance | :20:33. | :20:39. | |
rules according to critics. The club as that responded to claims. | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
Meanwhile, the Blues got off to a flying start last night in a 4-0 | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
win over Swansea. Swansea did well to hold off | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
Manchester City in the first half, but the second half showed why they | :20:53. | :20:58. | |
could be early title contenders with Edin Dzeko adding to the | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
scoresheet. All eyes were on the new signing. The Argentinian | :21:04. | :21:10. | |
striker, Sergio Aguero scored after 10 minutes. He helped David sell-by | :21:10. | :21:18. | |
get a third. Then he showed off with this 25 yard strike. Value for | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
money for Manchester City but for the manager, Roberto Mancini, the | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
end of Match report read, will do better. He will need to play with | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
his team-mates and play better. But he is an incredible player. He is | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
like David Selbourne. They speak the same language. He needs to | :21:40. | :21:46. | |
improve, I think, with the team. 4-0 win ties them with Bolton at | :21:46. | :21:53. | |
the top of the table, a team they face on Wednesday. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
At terrific player. I think Roberto Mancini could be a | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
BBC manager, no matter what you do, they want more! | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
:22:11. | :22:12. | ||
He can be my line manager and the day! | :22:12. | :22:19. | |
The weather went exactly as planned, cloudy, one or two showers. The | :22:19. | :22:24. | |
shares have been moving through the region. Moving in from the Irish | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
Sea in land. In the last couple of hours, sprinkles of rain. The | :22:29. | :22:35. | |
latest picture, at the showers moving away up over the Pennines. | :22:35. | :22:40. | |
Some spells of sunshine. Tonight, one or two clear spells already in | :22:40. | :22:46. | |
evidence. They were spread out through the night. Tonight, a bit | :22:46. | :22:51. | |
cooler than the last few nights. In theory, one or two places as low as | :22:51. | :22:56. | |
eight or nine degrees. Along the coast, 11 or 12 degrees. Could be | :22:56. | :23:00. | |
chilly and the morning first thing. The breeze, that has been strong | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
all day today, that will ease down, so we touch of mist in places in | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
the morning. When that goes, it is a nice day. One of the better days | :23:10. | :23:15. | |
of the week. Quiet. He won it is much more sunshine than today. -- | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
you will notice much more sunshine. A nice that day, one in the | :23:20. | :23:30. | |
:23:30. | :23:30. | ||
afternoon. -- warm in the afternoon. 16 or 17 degrees. Could reach 20 | :23:30. | :23:36. | |
degrees in land. For Thursday, this area of weather is far too close | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
for comfort. It looks like if it goes to plan, it will be wet | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
through Thursday afternoon. After that, settling down a bit with more | :23:46. | :23:54. | |
rain on the forecast for Saturday. There is there, too close to call. | :23:54. | :23:58. | |
-- Thursday, to close to call. We will have more details on that | :23:58. | :24:08. | |
:24:08. | :24:11. | ||
tomorrow, but at the moment, Where did you do your courting? At | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
the cinema? In the pub? For Marjorie and David from Chester, it | :24:16. | :24:21. | |
was by the river. In their 58 years they have spent countless hours | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
chatting and cuddling at the City's groves area. | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
The redevelopment of the area means they would use an old friend until | :24:30. | :24:34. | |
the council came off the bend to have them. -- they would lose an | :24:34. | :24:44. | |
:24:44. | :24:46. | ||
old friend. In February 1953, I was sitting | :24:46. | :24:52. | |
here and we were chatting and getting to know one another. | :24:52. | :24:56. | |
blossomed from that. We could not go out much so we used to just come | :24:56. | :25:01. | |
and sit here and have a cuddle and a case. And always on the same | :25:01. | :25:07. | |
bench. They married after seven years. They brought their children | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
and grandchildren here and always sat in the same place. But time | :25:14. | :25:18. | |
marches on and the Groves began to show its age. Work has begun to | :25:18. | :25:25. | |
rework the airy and there was no place for the old bench. -- rework | :25:25. | :25:30. | |
the area. It be said that the old seeds would be scrapped and that is | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
when I said we have been courting here for 58 years. The cancer were | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
contacted. As a council where did it recycling. We happen to recycle | :25:42. | :25:45. | |
this and a slightly different way and the result that came out of it | :25:45. | :25:50. | |
is fantastic. Last week, they were finally reunited with their bench | :25:50. | :25:58. | |
in their own back garden. It is fantastic. Later in years' time we | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
have passed on, hopefully one of the family will take it and keep it | :26:02. | :26:12. | |
:26:12. | :26:16. | ||
in their memories of us where we He's the! It's teatime! | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
We have had lots of e-mails about where you have met your loved ones. | :26:21. | :26:25. | |
Natalie met her fiance through Facebook three years ago. He has | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
been living around the corner and they had been together ever since. | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
Mary said that she would meet her future husband at Victoria station | :26:35. | :26:41. | |
in Manchester and go to Old Trafford. They did their courting | :26:41. | :26:45. | |
watching Manchester United. Even when they were on their honeymoon, | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
they travelled back to watch the match. Victoria Station is very | :26:50. | :26:59. | |
popular, Elisabet said that her husband proposed to her on Black -- | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
on platform 14 at Victoria. Dave said he went to school in | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
Didsbury in 1964. He said he fancied a girl called Linda but | :27:08. | :27:14. | |
lost touch after leaving. 30 years later, she got into his taxi in | :27:14. | :27:20. | |
Manchester and they eventually got married in Memphis in 1999. | :27:20. | :27:24. |
