Careful what you say. And on a And another historic moment in | :01:06. | :01:13. | |
North West sporting history Richard is here to tell us more. Outright | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
champions at last - the moment of cricket joy as Lancashire become | :01:16. | :01:17. | |
county championship after 70 years of waiting. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Yes this was the moment all Lancashire cricket fans have been | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
waiting almost eight decades for...Lancs are County Champions | :01:22. | :01:26. | |
for the first time in 77 years. It went right down to the wire but | :01:26. | :01:29. | |
after the most dramatic ends to the title race in years...the red rose | :01:29. | :01:32. | |
county came out on top. We'll have all the reaction later in the | :01:32. | :01:42. | |
:01:42. | :01:55. | ||
programme. On the face of it they ran a respectable business. But the | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
Javed brothers were in the business of defrauding insurance companies. | :01:57. | :02:01. | |
The pair netted a fortune in a crash for cash scam - lodging huge | :02:01. | :02:03. | |
claims for car accidents which had been deliberately caused. Jailing | :02:03. | :02:06. | |
them today, the judge at Manchester Crown Court told Rehan and Rizwan | :02:06. | :02:09. | |
they'd run a production line of fraud on an industrial scale. Our | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Chief Reporter, Dave Guest, has the story. | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
The Javed brothers set out to fleece insurance companies - and | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
they succeeded to the tune of around �750,000. And they did it at | :02:17. | :02:19. | |
the expense of innocent drivers. This man, Mohammed Patel, | :02:19. | :02:27. | |
deliberately caused car crashes to generate bogus insurance claims. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
This roundabout was a favourite spot for him to stage his bogus | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
crashes. He would draw up to the roundabout and start to move off. | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
As the vehicle behind him moved off, he would slam on the brakes, | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
causing the vehicle behind to slam into them. | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
The Javed's company - North West Claims Centre in Burnley - | :02:48. | :02:51. | |
processed those claims. And because they also owned car hire and | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
recovery businesses they were able to generate fraudulent invoices | :02:53. | :03:01. | |
making up to �6,000 a time. There have been inflated claims for | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
storage, recovery of vehicles and credit hire for vehicles when there | :03:06. | :03:10. | |
was no requirement for a vehicle to be provided. | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Patel was jailed back in 2009. Today at Manchester Crown Court it | :03:13. | :03:16. | |
was the Javeds' turn to face a judge for sentencing after being | :03:16. | :03:26. | |
:03:26. | :03:26. | ||
convicted of conspiracy to defraud. The judge said this was not a | :03:26. | :03:32. | |
victimless crime. Fraud cost the industry around �2 billion a year, | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
adding 44p to every policy. Rezwan was jailed for six years, his | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
brother Rehan for five. They were also ordered to pay back more than | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
�300,000 within six months or have their jail terms extended. Dave | :03:42. | :03:52. | |

Guest, BBC Northwest Tonight. A mother has paid tribute to her | :03:52. | :03:58. | |
beautiful baby boy who died last night in Preston -- Preston. Six- | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
month-old Ollie McBride was found near the body of his father. The | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
police say they are not looking for anyone else in connection with the | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
crime. Good evening. It is quite quiet | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
tonight but at exactly this time yesterday neighbours described | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
seeing and highly distressing scene. Behind me is the home of the | :04:23. | :04:30. | |
parents of Comic Guide to was found hanged here. Close to them his son. | :04:30. | :04:36. | |
-- Paul men bright. The baby died at hospital. The committee say they | :04:36. | :04:43. | |
are struggling to accept the deaths. -- their community. Just six months | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
old, the baby spent the afternoon out with his dad. When he did not | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
return home as planned, relatives raised the alarm. Police will not | :04:53. | :04:56. | |
speculate on what happened but they are not looking for anyone else in | :04:57. | :05:02. | |
connection with his death. His father had locally separated from | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
the mother of the BBA. A close friend told us just how much the | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
baby will be missed. She lived for that baby. Every penny in her | :05:12. | :05:17. | |
pocket went on that baby, everything. I just cannot believe | :05:17. | :05:25. | |
what has happened. Poll may berate is well known in the area. He was | :05:25. | :05:33. | |
described as a larger-than-life figure. He idolised that they be. I | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
just cannot understand what happened. Unbelievable, it is so | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
shocking, I cannot believe that. Police confirm that the pavements | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
of the baby were known to them and they had been called to a number of | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
domestic incidents. There had been domestic incidents between it two | :05:53. | :05:56. | |
which are investigating. They had both been involved with the | :05:56. | :06:04. | |
agencies. Tonight the mother of the baby is been comforted by relatives. | :06:04. | :06:14. | |
:06:14. | :06:19. | ||
As you can see behind me, and number of tributes have been left | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
for the baby. Police say when he was found, there were no signs of | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
injury. A post-mortem was carried out this afternoon. The police | :06:29. | :06:32. | |
investigation is still ongoing and details will be released over the | :06:32. | :06:36. | |
next few days. Next tonight the row over who pays | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
for policing last month's riots. Merseyside police says it cost the | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
force almost two million pounds. That includes �1.73 million pounds | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
in officers' overtime and �249,000 pounds in other costs including | :06:46. | :06:52. | |
damage to police vehicles and buildings. But one MP says | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
suggestions the government will only reimburse forces who spent | :06:55. | :06:57. | |
more than one percent of their budget will make Merseyside police | :06:58. | :07:07. | |
a victim of its own success. necessary police had been useless | :07:07. | :07:10. | |
and allowed the riots that to get completely out of control, we would | :07:10. | :07:16. | |
have got the money. It inevitably means that the Merseyside Police | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Authority will have to cut more staff, more police officers and | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
more backroom staff. Meanwhile, in Greater Manchester, | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
more than 200 people have been charged since the disturbances and | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
34 sent to jail. Last week the force said the cost of policing the | :07:30. | :07:33. | |
riots was as much as ten million pounds. And today, the Chief | :07:33. | :07:36. | |
Constable of Greater Manchester told a House of Commons Select | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
Committee how astute the rioters had been. | :07:39. | :07:44. | |
They were drawing us into cul-de- sacs. They were doing things like | :07:44. | :07:47. | |
setting wheelie bins on fire so you had a big patch of burnt plastic in | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
the road which they rammed into police vans. These were thought- | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
through tactics. And after his appearance, I spoke | :07:56. | :07:59. | |
to Chief Constable Fahy and put it to him that it was generally | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
accepted that his force was under- prepared for the scale of the riots | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
here on that first night. A short while ago we contacted the | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
Home Office and they told us there is already an established system of | :08:11. | :08:13. | |
special grants in place to support forces where they face unexpected | :08:13. | :08:23. | |
:08:23. | :08:27. | ||
Clearly we feel very badly from the businesses and people who had been | :08:27. | :08:32. | |
affected. Was there a difference in the rioting in Salford and | :08:32. | :08:39. | |
Manchester? Yes, there was. In Manchester it was fairly unusual | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
and new in this huge crew going to different shops. Lots of different | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
groups. As we got to one shop, they would move to another shop. But in | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
Salford, it was about a huge group mobilising in a short period of | :08:54. | :08:59. | |
time. The missile issues and the attempts on police officers were | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
particularly savage. There were different types of incidents, you | :09:04. | :09:11. | |
are right. The police admitted at the time you're over whelmed and | :09:11. | :09:16. | |
that you officers had to withdraw in fear of their lives. I have to | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
say, we only lost it in those two places. Across Greater Manchester | :09:21. | :09:26. | |
we dealt with a whole series of incidents. When you get that number | :09:26. | :09:30. | |
of people suddenly Maud -- mobilised in this way, moving | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
around area they know well, there is no police force in the world | :09:34. | :09:39. | |
that could cope with that. officers believe that as these cuts | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
bite and you have to lose something like 900 officers, they believe he | :09:43. | :09:48. | |
will not be able to cope with this happens again. We have to maintain | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
that ability. We have to put that number of officers out on the | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
street and we have a series of ideas on how to do that but it will | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
be incredibly difficult. There are also faced with other social | :10:00. | :10:05. | |
pressures brought about by cuts and other agencies and a more unhappy | :10:05. | :10:09. | |
dysfunctional society. This will be a huge challenge rear-facing. It is | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
not just about the officers on the street but wider society. | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
finally, the cost of the riots in Manchester and Salford is estimated | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
to be about �10 million, who pays that? We hope that the government | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
will assist the police have a pretty in meeting that cost. We | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
need that money. That money will help us preserve the number of | :10:32. | :10:38. | |
officers on the street and there has to fund a programme to make | :10:38. | :10:43. | |
changes possible. We're talking to the police of authority and the | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
Home Office. We cannot afford that additional burden on policing and | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
we very much hope we will get central government assistance to | :10:51. | :10:57. | |
help cushion that blow. If you do not, you are in serious trouble? | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
are already in serious trouble financially. We needed that money | :11:01. | :11:05. | |
to do things like providing administrative support to police | :11:05. | :11:10. | |
officers, so they can spend more time on the streets. We had good | :11:10. | :11:16. | |
uses for that money. On the other hand, we have savings and deserves | :11:16. | :11:19. | |
to be able to fund major events but this was an extreme event and I do | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
not think he was -- it is right that a police are authority should | :11:24. | :11:29. | |
be expected to pick up this additional degree of course. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
A short time ago we contacted the Home Office and they told us that | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
is already a special system of support grants to support police | :11:37. | :11:42. | |
forces where they faced exceptional costs. It is up to individual | :11:42. | :11:45. | |
forces if they wish to apply for a special grant and all applications | :11:45. | :11:55. | |
:11:55. | :12:02. | ||
will be considered. Now, a little bit of BBC history. | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
The parents of Shafelia Ahmed are being released on bail while they | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
await trial for their daughter's murder. Police suspected teenager | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
may have been the victim of an honour killing. Her body was found | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
in a river near Kendal after she disappeared from her home in | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
Warrington eight years ago. The judge today released her parents on | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
several conditions. They include handing in their passports and | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
paying sureties of more than �100,000. | :12:20. | :12:23. | |
Police are hunting the vandals who splattered paint over a statue of | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
Blackpool and England legend Jimmy Armfield. The bronze figure outside | :12:25. | :12:28. | |
Bloomfield Road covered with white, green and red paint but has now | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
been cleaned. Salford University have been told | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
they can build a new �30 million student village. Three new halls of | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
residence, providing accommodation for 2000 students, will be built | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
next to Peel Park. They should be ready for 2013. | :12:38. | :12:40. | |
Manchester's Christie Hospital is hoping to receive hundreds of | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
thousands of pounds when tickets for Pieter Kay's live show of his | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
current tour go on sale this weekend. The comedian, whose Tour | :12:46. | :12:49. | |
That Doesn't Tour is the world's biggest selling for stand-up | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
comedian, is giving all the proceeds to Christie's charity. | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
Tickets for that October 22nd show in Manchester will go on sale at | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
10am the Sunday. Today, one of the largest ocean | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
liners in the world arrived in Liverpool. The Queen Mary 2 sailed | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
into the cruise liner terminal on the very day other UK ports handed | :13:10. | :13:13. | |
a petition to Downing Street to stop the city beefing up facilities | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
at Pier Head. The QM2 can only arrive as a stopover or on route | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
elsewhere. But Liverpool wants to see cruises once again begin and | :13:20. | :13:30. | |
:13:30. | :13:36. | ||
end at its historic waterfront where Jayne Barrett is now. You get | :13:36. | :13:43. | |
no idea of scale from here at all. QM2 is so big - even from here. | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Just passing through of course, she couldn't start a cruise here. All | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
because of the row over public money used to pay for the Pier Head | :13:50. | :13:57. | |
cruise liner terminal. Well today is deadline day in that row. Other | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
ports had until today to tell the government what they thought of | :14:00. | :14:10. | |
Liverpool's offer to pay back part of that cash. | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
Thousands took in the awe-inspiring view of QM2 at Pier Head today. But | :14:13. | :14:16. | |
on Downing Street - a delegation of other angry ports fight back. They | :14:16. | :14:22. | |
handed over a petition to block Liverpool's ambitions. Public | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
sector money should not be allowed ever to compete with private sector | :14:26. | :14:28. | |
investment and that is exactly what this is. | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
Liverpool's lobby groups say hypocrisy lies at the heart of this | :14:31. | :14:34. | |
row. Southampton's port was built on public money. Part of a | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
nationalised company which was not privatised until the 1980s. | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
This is the Cunard baggage suite where the baggage would have been | :14:40. | :14:45. | |
stored prior to passengers leaving. In the depths of the Cunard | :14:45. | :14:47. | |
Building evidence of the cruise industry which used to be based | :14:47. | :14:53. | |
here. Something many here hope will return. It is a must for Liverpool. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
Part of our heritage and it must come back. Liverpool of course does | :14:56. | :14:59. | |
have turnaround facilities, here at Langton Dock. Less than officially | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
known as Costa Metallica to tourists like the Williamsons with | :15:01. | :15:11. | |
:15:11. | :15:12. | ||
more than 100 cruises between them. On the first date of any cruise out | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
of Liverpool all we hear are the complaints about the cruise | :15:15. | :15:21. | |
terminal. It is a scrap heap. Companies which have pulled out of | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
Langton, like Fred Olsen, are already predicting they will return | :15:24. | :15:27. | |
in 2013 to Pier Head. By then they believe Liverpool will have won its | :15:27. | :15:35. | |
case. There are optimistic, confident is something else. This | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
is an argument well worth pursuing. A decision is expected very short | :15:42. | :15:49. | |
life. The government could approve this or they could last for more | :15:49. | :15:55. | |
money. One voice that has remained silent is Peel Holdings, the other | :15:55. | :15:59. | |
landlord. The run of port and will benefit commercially from whatever | :15:59. | :16:07. | |
hams. The offer does an interview last week but pulled out yesterday. | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
-- they offered us. Around 30 per cent of the UK | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
population are on the organ Donor Register. The decision to carry out | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
the wishes of the donor often comes at a difficult time for their loved | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
ones. So when Andrew Pownell died suddenly from a brain haemorrhage, | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
his family had to decide whether to go ahead with his decision to | :16:24. | :16:29. | |
donate nearly all of his organs and body. They did and helped dozens of | :16:29. | :16:32. | |
people, including saving the lives of a least five patients. Our | :16:32. | :16:42. | |
:16:42. | :16:42. | ||
reporter met his family. Arthur Pownell today described his | :16:42. | :16:46. | |
son Andy is the type of person you could easily have taken for granted. | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
Quiet and unassuming - but he was always the first to offer help. It | :16:49. | :16:53. | |
is not a complete surprise to them that he wanted his organs donated | :16:53. | :17:01. | |
on his death. If you have the consolation when he dies, we were | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
all distraught when he died, to think that there are people now | :17:04. | :17:12. | |
live who would not have been but for Andrew. | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
The 39 year-old gardener was healthy but died from a sudden | :17:15. | :17:21. | |
brain haemorrhage. We were in the picture right from the start. We | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
could have vetoed it but because it was an due's wishes, we went ahead. | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
Patients have been given his heart, lungs, kidneys, liver and pancreas. | :17:29. | :17:32. | |
But his skin, bones, tendons and cartilage has also been debated - | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
stored for the future. I am still amazed by the generous decision | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
that is made by families at a time of acute grief. It is an amazing | :17:44. | :17:46. | |
gift. Like Andrew Pownell - 30% of the UK | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
population is on the Organ Donor Register. I know it has helped mum | :17:53. | :17:58. | |
and dad a lot and it has helped us. To know that other people are | :17:58. | :18:07. | |
living because of 10. And -- because of him. | :18:07. | :18:11. | |
What is vital to the family now is that with skin and other parts of | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Andrew's body stored - he will continue to help others long after | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:24. | ||
he is no longer with them. A bit of history - in the 54 years that TV | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
has been broadcast from this region that no one has been able to say | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
this but I am now - Lancashire are cricket county champions. They | :18:34. | :18:39. | |
sealed their first ever outright title in 77 years today assured 10 | :18:39. | :18:45. | |
ago when they beat Somerset. Richard is here. What a nail-biting | :18:45. | :18:54. | |
afternoon it has been. We could not watch. Imagine what it | :18:54. | :18:58. | |
was like that the ground. One moment it looked like Lancashire | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
had no chance. Men are when the other way. I do not bite my nails | :19:04. | :19:13. | |
but I did today. It was staggering that turnaround. They did do it. | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
The long wait is over and what a way to end it. At times it -- a | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
title race that went into the final session of the final day. It is | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
absolutely fantastic. What a cracking season we have had. What a | :19:28. | :19:34. | |
finish, you could not write the script. The boys deserve that. The | :19:34. | :19:38. | |
way they have played this year, they have given us so much | :19:38. | :19:46. | |
entertainment. Their magic. Just magical. Great times. Lancashire | :19:46. | :19:53. | |
needed to win against Somerset. And the dead. With Hampshire preventing | :19:53. | :19:58. | |
Warwickshire from winning, at the County Championship was coming back | :19:58. | :20:04. | |
to Old Trafford. Never mind 77 years, it felt like an eternity. | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
The red rose of Lancashire has occupied top place in the county | :20:08. | :20:16. | |
championship table eight times... This goes back a long time. And | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
here when Ramsay MacDonald was the prime minister and a Lancashire won | :20:19. | :20:24. | |
a team in their prime. They had just been crowned champions for the | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
first time in nine years. No one thought the title would elude them | :20:29. | :20:37. | |
for so long. Lancashire had success down the years, led by some great | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
stars. But now a team of unsung and largely home-grown players has | :20:42. | :20:49. | |
brought one of the greatest triumphs to Old Trafford. Fantastic. | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
Lancashire's chief executive is with us now. Congratulations. How | :20:54. | :21:00. | |
are then there's? Has still not -- I still cannot believe it. It has | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
not yet sunk in. Everyone is congratulating me, not the team. | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
This time last night I thought two teams would when then we would be | :21:11. | :21:16. | |
second. I did not want to cry of the dinner tonight unless I knew we | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
were going to win it. So I missed it but the rest of the club were | :21:21. | :21:30. | |
there. What does this mean for you? We get rid of a millstone round her | :21:30. | :21:37. | |
neck which has been there for 77 years. Every year it, everyone says | :21:37. | :21:42. | |
will you when? And now it has happened. The great thing is it has | :21:42. | :21:50. | |
happened from nowhere. This time last night, we were not winning. | :21:50. | :22:00. | |

have Tom Smith on the floor in. At are you there? How were the | :22:00. | :22:08. | |
celebrations going? I cannot quite believe it at the moment. We have | :22:08. | :22:14. | |
your chief executive here. Top to Tom. I am very surprised you're | :22:14. | :22:22. | |
speaking sense at the moment. How is it at the moment? A great day | :22:22. | :22:30. | |
for the lads. It has been a very tough season. It has been amazing - | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
what an effort from the lads. absolutely delighted - obviously | :22:36. | :22:41. | |
for the club but also for the team who have fought so hard this year, | :22:41. | :22:47. | |
so well done to everybody. Thanks. We wish you could be with us | :22:47. | :22:55. | |
tonight. I tell you what, I am glad I am not because I cannot afford | :22:55. | :23:05. | |

new suits. We will celebrate for you down here. We will have some | :23:05. | :23:09. | |

Good evening. The sun has shone everywhere today. You can see it | :23:50. | :23:53. | |
slipping away and the weather front slipping away and the weather front | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
starting to come towards us with low-pressure. Increasingly | :23:57. | :24:02. | |
unsettled to was the weekend. Fairly windy as well. Tonight is | :24:02. | :24:08. | |
much milder than last night. Quite a bit of cloud cover. Towards the | :24:08. | :24:15. | |
early hours we will start to see drizzle and patchy rain. The wind | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
is coming from the south-east which will keep temperatures up, between | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
9 and 13 degrees along the coast. An entirely different day tomorrow, | :24:26. | :24:33. | |
cloud cover from the start. Drizzly rain will breakout. The cloud cover | :24:33. | :24:40. | |
will be thick. This rain will push in everywhere. At times it will be | :24:40. | :24:45. | |
patchy but after lunch time, it will merge and we will see some | :24:45. | :24:50. | |
showers or longer spells of rain. There could be thunder here and | :24:50. | :24:54. | |
there. The breeze continues to come from the south-east which picks up | :24:54. | :25:00. | |
as the days wore on. It was teatime, there is a chance of it trying up | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
but that is not proper sink -- promising. Daytime temperatures of | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
17 Celsius. 17 Celsius. | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
Ever made a bold prediction only to have to eat your words? BBC Radio | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Cumbria's racing expert said. John Hanley was so confident about one | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
of his forecast a promise to walk from Windermere to Carlisle if he | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:38. | ||
got it wrong. I think you can guess what happened. When record producer | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
Dick Rowe turned down the Beatles, he said "guitar groups are on the | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
way out." He's in a club that includes Michael Fish. | :25:47. | :25:52. | |

Prostate Cancer Charity. Of course, the rest of us would | :26:27. | :26:33. | |
never be forced to eat our words like that. Would we? On a daily | :26:33. | :26:41. | |
basis because I work in marketing. Everyone laughed when we said we | :26:41. | :26:46. | |
were getting married, they're all eating their words. Anna said a lot | :26:46. | :26:53. | |
of things I have regretted. Obviously, I am never wrong! John | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
