Good evening. Welcome to NorthWest Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
Johnson. Our top story: The family of soldier killed in | :00:06. | :00:08. | |
Afghanistan say they're disgusted with the MoD wanting part of his | :00:08. | :00:16. | |
wages back. I've read the letter again to make | :00:16. | :00:20. | |
sure what I read was correct. I was shocked. | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
The MoD have apologised but his friends tell us it's diabolical | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
request. Also in the programme: A father whose daughter was | :00:27. | :00:30. | |
murdered campaigns for Clare's Law - the right to know if your partner | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
has a violent history. Save our stations, MPs' debate the | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
BBC's plans to make cuts to local radio. | :00:38. | :00:42. | |
And Sarah Mulkerrins is in Salford with a band gearing up for the gig | :00:42. | :00:52. | |

Lance Corporal Jordan Bancroft paid with his life serving Queen and | :00:59. | :01:03. | |
country in Afghanistan. But the Ministry of Defence says it paid | :01:03. | :01:09. | |
the Lancashire soldier too much in his final wage packet. The | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
government wrote to his family to reclaim just over �400 because he | :01:12. | :01:18. | |
was paid for a month in advance, but was killed before the end of it. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
His parents say they're disgusted by the penny pinching. Our Chief | :01:21. | :01:24. | |
Reporter Dave Guest has the story. It's clear Jordan Bancroft's | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
parents are proud of their solider son who died in the line of duty. | :01:28. | :01:38. | |
But, they say, the Ministry of Defence has now insulted his memory. | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
It is like having -- stabbing your heart. It is disgusting. The family | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
received this letter telling them they were due a payment for holiday | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
time Jordan had spent in training. In fact, by pure chance, BBC | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
Northwest Tonight filmed Jordan on a training exercise in Norfolk the | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
year before he died. But, the letter went on to say just over | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
�400 would be deducted from the payment because Jordan died on | :01:59. | :02:09. | |
:02:09. | :02:10. | ||
August 21st 2010, but he'd been paid until the 31st. I was | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
flabbergasted. I read the letter again to make sure what I read was | :02:15. | :02:21. | |
correct. I was utterly shocked. You could have knocked me over with a | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
further. He was killed on 21st August so what they are saying is | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
you owe them 10 days back pay because he did not work? It is not | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
the amount of money that is the problem. Money is not the issue, it | :02:36. | :02:41. | |
is basically the letter and the wording of it that were quite | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
shocking. -- that was quite shocking. Members of the Nelson | :02:45. | :02:48. | |
branch of the Royal British Legion, preparing for this year's poppy | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
appeal, share the family's sense of outrage. Words fail me. I think it | :02:52. | :02:58. | |
is diabolical. Jordan did not know that he was going to die in the | :02:58. | :03:04. | |
middle of August. In a statement, the Ministry of Defence says it | :03:04. | :03:10. | |
regrets any offence and distress caused to Jordan's family. It says | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
that personnel who were killed in the course of duty were dealt with | :03:13. | :03:19. | |
care. It says recouping overpayments were designed to | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
ensure feyness -- fairness to all. When Clare Wood met a man she liked | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
on Facebook, she had no idea he had a violent criminal past. George | :03:28. | :03:32. | |
Appleton became her boyfriend, and then her killer. | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
He strangled Clare at her home in Salford before hanging himself. | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
Ever since, her father has campaigned for police to be able to | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
tell people if their partners have a history of violence. Today he | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
welcomed a Government announcement that it's considering changing the | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
law. Naomi Cornwell reports. George Appleton had a habit of | :03:50. | :03:54. | |
contacting women through internet sites. When Clare Wood met him on | :03:54. | :03:58. | |
Facebook in 2009, she had no idea that he had a record of domestic | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
violence against previous partners. He went on to strangle her and set | :04:02. | :04:11. | |
her body on fire at her home in Salford, before hanging himself. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
daughter was not a silly girl. Had she been given the opportunity to | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
find out if he had done these things in the past, I would think | :04:20. | :04:26. | |
that she would have done it so soon it would have made your eyes water. | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
These are the last pictures of George Appleton, caught on CCTV on | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
the day before Clare's body was found. The week before he'd smashed | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
down her front door. That earned him a fine and a harassment order. | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
But he had a history of harassing other women too. He'd had been | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
jailed in 2001 for breaching a restraining order. The following | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
year, he was sent to prison for harassment with fear of violence. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
He was also before the courts for criminal damage at the home of a | :04:47. | :04:49. | |
former girlfriend. Now the Government's launched a 12-week | :04:49. | :04:52. | |
consultation on plans to give men and women the right to know whether | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
their partners have previous convictions for domestic violence. | :05:01. | :05:06. | |
I would like it that those who are in a domestic violent situation to | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
have this information available. But some civil liberties groups | :05:11. | :05:20. | |
have concerns about the plans. Given these powers are already in | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
place, we are very concerned that this new database is being proposed | :05:25. | :05:30. | |
and a lot of funding will go into a new framework which could have | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
serious unintended consequences. And a change in legislation could | :05:32. | :05:35. | |
come even sooner, an amendment to the Legal Aid and Sentencing Bill | :05:35. | :05:44. | |
introducing similar powers will be debated at Westminster next week. | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
The Prime Minister's been asked to apologise for comments he's claimed | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
to have made about the families of the 96 Liverpool fans who died in | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
the Hillsborough Stadium disaster. Yesterday, it was reported that | :05:53. | :05:55. | |
David Cameron compared bereaved families pressing for the release | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
of more information to "a blind man, in a dark room, looking for a black | :05:59. | :06:09. | |
cat that isn't there". A local MP today called on him to say sorry. | :06:09. | :06:12. | |
Will the Prime Minister take this opportunity to apologise to the | :06:12. | :06:21. | |
relatives and friends of the 96 Hillsborough victims for these | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
grossly comments? This government has done the right thing by opening | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
up the Cabinet papers to help those people find the closer they seek. | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
A manager at Trafford Housing Trust, demoted for making comments against | :06:33. | :06:36. | |
gay marriage, has received support from gay rights campaigner Peter | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Tatchell. Adrian Smith from Bolton had his pay cut after he wrote on | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
Facebook that allowing gay weddings in churches was "an equality too | :06:43. | :06:53. | |
far". But Mr Tatchell believes the punishment was harsh. Adrian | :06:53. | :06:58. | |
Smith's comment was Martley homophobic and expressed a view | :06:58. | :07:03. | |
that is shared by most of the population, including myself. Their | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
former, I don't understand why Trafford Housing Trust have taken | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
this rather severe decision to demote him and effectively cut his | :07:12. | :07:22. | |
:07:22. | :07:25. | ||
That is when a driver deliberately crashes into another vehicle to | :07:25. | :07:31. | |

:08:07. | :08:12. | ||
radio stations could lose up to a quarter of staff. BBC Radio Cumbria, | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
one of five local stations in the region feeling the budget squeeze. | :08:16. | :08:25. | |
It's facing a 20% cut: 12 out of 37 staff may have to go. Professionals | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
who rely on the service are worried. It is all very well for those | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
making the decisions to say you can use Twitter and Facebook, but a lot | :08:34. | :08:38. | |
of people would not know how to do that. It really is very important, | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
it is a life blood for certain parts of the community. | :08:41. | :08:44. | |
What's caused this is the government's decision to freeze the | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
BBC licence fee and force the Corporation to take on extra costs. | :08:47. | :08:50. | |
But it's the BBC that's decided how to spend the money and local radio | :08:50. | :08:57. | |
is not at the top of the list. The BBC has refused an interview but on | :08:57. | :09:02. | |
her blog the Director of BBC News Helen Boaden writes: "Are the plans | :09:02. | :09:12. | |
:09:12. | :09:19. | ||
But in a Parliamentary debate, MPs lined up to disagree. It is coming | :09:19. | :09:25. | |
up to a year when we had a terrible gas explosion. 200 families were | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
evacuated. BBC radio covered it and no one to praise that coverage. | :09:31. | :09:36. | |
defines who we are, as I'm sure it does in Cornwall. With the Minister | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
agree with me that it is not just a question of what money goes where, | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
it is a question of identity? the government seems broadly | :09:43. | :09:50. | |
supportive. Other members have suggested closing down services and | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
cuts to Radio 4 which would result in job losses. They suggested cuts | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
to be the beat very that the same consequences. The BBC's plans, | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
known as Delivering Quality First, are still open to public | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
consultation. Still to come in North West | :10:06. | :10:08. | |

:10:47. | :10:49. | ||
rare books housed in the property in Cumbria is to be restored. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
Townend Hall in Troutbeck near Windermere is full of books | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
gathered over the centuries by the Browne family. Angelina Socci | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
reports. Showing signs of wear and tear, | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
these books were collected by many generations of a farming family. | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
Now owned by the National Trust, they are to be preserved for | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
generations to come. It is a painstaking process and to | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
restore this library: They are more than 1,500 books in this room, | :11:21. | :11:26. | |
dating from the 16th century up to 1942. That restoration task lies | :11:26. | :11:34. | |
with these two women. Minor repairs to tears in the pages. In this one, | :11:34. | :11:40. | |
it has been repaired down here and along the edges. Then things like | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
repairs to the corners of the books. Many of these books are extremely | :11:45. | :11:50. | |
rare and preparing them has only been made possible after the | :11:50. | :11:55. | |
National Trust received a grant of �14,000. Given the wide variety of | :11:55. | :11:59. | |
the books and their ages, we have one of the top three libraries | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
within the National Trust. But because the books have been well | :12:02. | :12:08. | |
used, lots of them have torn pages so it is important to repair those | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
things to give another few hundred years of life to the books. | :12:13. | :12:16. | |
And delving into this library also provides an insight into the | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
family's lives. I love this collection because there is so much | :12:24. | :12:30. | |
evidence to the people who read the books, you can feel their presence. | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
It has something very special about it. Also there is the fact that the | :12:35. | :12:40. | |
Browns were Bookbinders. Papering over the cracks will be a time- | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
consuming exercise. The whole project will take seven months to | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
complete. Now it was going be the | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
breakthrough gig for Manchester band The Slow Show. They were | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
selected from a pool of new bands to support Elbow in a special | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
concert in Manchester tomorrow night. | :12:58. | :13:02. | |
However on Monday, their van was stolen with the drum kit inside. | :13:02. | :13:05. | |
With no kit, it looked like they would have to miss their biggest | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
gig yet. But the show will go on, and Sarah Mulkerrins is with the | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
:13:19. | :13:48. | ||
Well, that was Manchester band The Slow Show and a few days ago a | :13:48. | :13:53. | |
rehearsal like this wasn't possible. That's because their drum kit and | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
other equipment was stolen on Monday evening from outside drummer | :13:55. | :14:04. | |
Chris Hough's house. Chris, explain to us what happened? I was loading | :14:04. | :14:09. | |
up the van to come to Brussels on Monday night and my wife asked me | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
to go to the supermarket with her so I was begrudging. Eventually I | :14:16. | :14:21. | |
did go and when we returned an hour later, the van had disappeared and | :14:21. | :14:26. | |
they had smashed through the back doors of the House, the front doors, | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
and all the stuff had gone, some symbols and other things. He spent | :14:35. | :14:39. | |
25 years collecting this stuff? and it has taken a lot of money to | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
build everything up. A lot of people have been very good, Mike | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
Joyce offers a drum-kit for the gig we have got on Thursday which is a | :14:49. | :14:57. | |
big one for us. That is massive, isn't it? Yes, it is a great honour | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
:15:07. | :15:12. | ||
to support Harare elbow. We were chosen by a panel from that tour | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
bans, we were lucky. You have gathered a new drum-kit in time to | :15:17. | :15:23. | |
make the gig for tomorrow. The guy from Manchester Drum Centre sorted | :15:23. | :15:30. | |
me out so I really appreciate that because we would have been up stuck. | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
We have a logo on the front as well. We will let you get back to | :15:34. | :15:44. | |
:15:44. | :15:52. | ||
They sound good. I'm sure they will be fine regardless of their drum- | :15:53. | :16:02. | |
kit. It is becoming unedifying, someone | :16:02. | :16:12. | |
:16:12. | :16:16. | ||
who Hardy plays is in the headlines. Mean Carlos Tevez by any chance? | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
Last night, City released the findings of their internal inquiry | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
over his apparent refusal to come off the bench against Bayern Munich. | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
Tevez has been found guilty of five breaches of contract. They include | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
refusing to play in a match, failing to follow his manager's | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
instructions and bringing the game and club into disrepute. He was | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
fined four weeks' wages, believed to be around �1 million, and has | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
already served a two-week suspension. And Tevez and his | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
advisers have reacted strongly to these findings? The BBC understands | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
Tevez's advisers are considering suing manager Roberto Mancini for | :16:41. | :16:43. | |
his comments after that match in Germany. They've always maintained | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
he didn't refuse to play and Mancini's comments could amount to | :16:46. | :16:50. | |
defamation of character. Here's what a sports lawyer thinks of the | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
chances of such an action succeeding. | :16:55. | :16:59. | |
This is probably part of a much wider picture between the club and | :16:59. | :17:05. | |
the player. Ultimately, this situation will be resolved, not | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
necessarily through the courts. I think there has probably been a | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
long history up something that is not quite right. Maybe this is the | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
latest chapter in that affair. And it's not over. Tevez does have | :17:16. | :17:20. | |
the opportunity to appeal. Now, let's get back to football. While | :17:20. | :17:23. | |
Bolton Wanderers and Burnley bowed out of the Carling Cup last night | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
it was back to business for Manchester United whose fourth | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
round tie took them down into the Football League, from where there | :17:29. | :17:36. | |
were loads of goals for our sides too. | :17:36. | :17:41. | |
Chalk one up to the reserves, Sir Alex made 11 changes to the side | :17:41. | :17:47. | |
and they did not let him down. After this goal after 15 minutes on | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
his hundreds star, Michael Owen made it two before this player | :17:51. | :17:57. | |
scored the goal of the night. Tranmere march on in League One and | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
are in the play-off zone with 82-0 win over Hartlepool. This came just | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
22 seconds after the start. What did Preston have to do to win? They | :18:10. | :18:17. | |
were 2-0 up on all that much. Two goals in three minutes then display | :18:17. | :18:25. | |
at levelled it. They thought they had done it with this unbelievable | :18:25. | :18:31. | |
third only for the opposition to equal with just four minutes to go. | :18:32. | :18:36. | |
In League Two, at more come up suffering a similar Hanover this | :18:36. | :18:46. | |
:18:46. | :18:48. | ||
morning. It ended 3-3. Crew headed home from Cheltenham with all three | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
points. They had won five in a row until this penalty put paid to | :18:53. | :19:00. | |
their run. Macclesfield are flying and it was a spot-kick for them | :19:00. | :19:07. | |
against Bradford. The City keeper was sent the wrong way. They are | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
one win from automatic promotion. Plenty more Carling Cup action this | :19:12. | :19:15. | |
evening with four of our sides aiming to join United in the | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
quarter finals. Liverpool head down the M6 to face Stoke, closely | :19:18. | :19:21. | |
followed by Man City who play Wolves. There are home ties for | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
Blackburn against Newcastle, and Everton who host Chelsea. | :19:24. | :19:27. | |
Highlights of those games on the League Cup Show on BBC1 at 11:30. | :19:27. | :19:30. | |
Better still there's live coverage of all the games on BBC Radios | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
Lancashire, Manchester and Merseyside. | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
Now, the North West has a rich tradition in churning out stars in | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
a range of sports. But when it comes to racing drivers, we've been | :19:43. | :19:46. | |
in the slow lane. However, that could be about to change. Oliver | :19:46. | :19:50. | |
Webb from Cheshire is on the verge of securing a place in one of | :19:50. | :19:54. | |
America's top Indy Car teams, as Ian Haslam reports. | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
Since the age of ten, Oli Webb's been living life in the fast lane. | :19:59. | :20:08. | |
Having started off in karting, the Cheshire driver's quickly moved | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
through the ranks of motor racing. Next up it's Indycar, America's | :20:13. | :20:22. | |
answer to Formula One. They would do 240 miles an hour. Formula One | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
doesn't do that. It is their main thing and they travel around the | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
world like to Japan and other countries. What kind of fans do get | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
over their? At the last race, we had about 210,000. This isn't the | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
first time we've met Oli on North West Tonight: 18 months ago he was | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
preparing for his debut in Formula Three, with Tony in the passenger | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
seat. For me, it is always about the speed. I want to be at the top | :20:49. | :20:56. | |
of what I do. Aylott comes with that, and be known in the north- | :20:56. | :21:00. | |
west has come out of it. Of course no motorsports are without risk, | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
and Indycar has found itself in the spotlight this month following the | :21:03. | :21:06. | |
death of British driver Dan Wheldon during a race in Las Vegas. He | :21:06. | :21:13. | |
raced for the Schmidt Racing team. I was with him that before he got | :21:13. | :21:17. | |
in the car. It was an upsetting weekend, but we have to understand | :21:17. | :21:23. | |
that that happens. As soon as we get in the car and we put the right | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
pedal down, we stopped thinking about that. The danger will always | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
be there, so will the chance for Oli to show his talents to the | :21:29. | :21:39. | |
:21:39. | :21:40. | ||
world. He flies out to the USA My fingernail marks are still in | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
his seat! Finally tonight, after Mario | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
Balotelli's hectic week with Manchester City, what with | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
fireworks and demolishing Manchester United, what better way | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
to relax than go shopping? Although, according to one report today, he | :21:49. | :21:58. | |
was a little off target. Instead of buying an iron for his mum as he | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
was supposed too, he came back with a trampoline, a Scalextric track, a | :22:01. | :22:11. | |
:22:11. | :22:13. | ||
table tennis set and two motor scooters. Were out! Makes my | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
:22:23. | :22:24. | ||
impulse buying a look tame. Now if you love dogs, you will love | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
this story. Now all good sports teams have a | :22:27. | :22:30. | |
mascot, and the darts team at The Royds Arms pub in Rochdale is no | :22:30. | :22:34. | |
exception. In fact its members are so proud of Jip the dog - yes, dog | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
- they've made him an honorary member. So what does Jip bring to | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
the team? Well you could say he's a real high flier, as Abbie Jones has | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
been finding out. Meet Jip, the border collie. She's | :22:45. | :22:50. | |
a dog of many talents. In fact, when it comes to doggie tricks, Jip | :22:50. | :23:00. | |
:23:00. | :23:07. | ||
Jip's athletic fetching skills have earned her a place in the pub's | :23:07. | :23:12. | |
darts team. And she's really hit the bull's-eye with its members. | :23:12. | :23:17. | |
Nothing like it before. There is no like it in this town. Definitely | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
not! She is brilliant. You don't have to get your darts out of the | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
board because she will bring him to you, it is fantastic. Has she | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
brought you any luck? Loads of luck. She puts the opposition of like you | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
have never known. Jip's sporting interests aren't confined to darts | :23:34. | :23:44. | |
:23:44. | :23:45. | ||
though - she's also partial to a She also likes a pint at the bar | :23:45. | :23:49. | |
after a hard day of jumping. But she knows how to ask for one and | :23:49. | :23:53. | |
pretend to put her money down on the bar. From six weeks old, she | :23:53. | :24:01. | |
got into the fight, fight, fight. She teaches herself. -- threat. She | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
plays with the children. No training, she just picks it up. | :24:06. | :24:09. | |
Kenny's got more tricks in store for Jip, but for now, she's | :24:09. | :24:19. | |
:24:19. | :24:24. | ||
What a dark! Something to make you happy. She looked like she was on a | :24:24. | :24:33. | |
trampoline. Maybe call her the ultimate retriever. I know! | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
Yesterday, around this time, we were asking Diane how we could | :24:37. | :24:42. | |
spice up her walk. We have got some excellent suggestions that came in. | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
Anyway, do one of the first ones. I'm going to stand here, I am not | :24:47. | :24:56. | |
Debate turned out to be better than we anticipated. We talked about | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
showers, there were some, but for many places we were bone dry. There | :25:02. | :25:07. | |
was a real nice afternoon of sunshine for most of us. You can | :25:07. | :25:10. | |
track the showers that move into Cumbria. Over the last couple of | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
hours, they became more widespread. But the story is for them to get | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
out of the way this evening and for us to be fairly clear tonight. | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
Unfortunately, it will feel fairly chilly again. It was cool last | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
night. Same story tonight. You can see the lighter areas on the map | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
and that is where the cloud cover will break. Overnight, temperatures | :25:31. | :25:37. | |
could be as low as five. It will only be for a short while because | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
the map is darkening in the south. An area of rain is pushing to us in | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
the early hours of the morning. It will put further north later | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
through the night. Overnight temperatures will be boosted a bit | :25:53. | :25:57. | |
with the arrival of the cloud cover all rain, around seven degrees. But | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
this is not a good picture. The brain pushes north and there is | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
more to come. It will be light and patchy through the morning. Past | :26:06. | :26:10. | |
lunch time, that is when it will take hold. There will be a heavy | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
burst from time to time. If you are lucky, especially in parts of | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
Cumbria, the Isle of Man and Lancashire, he will not see a lot | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
because it is coming from the south. But through the afternoon, it will | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
be trying to spread everywhere. Temperatures through the day were | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
12 and 13 degrees, but you have the sunshine. Tomorrow, not a glimpse | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
of sun so even though the same, it will feel fairly cool. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
We will brighten up your evening. I'm not looking forward to this. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
were talking about your walk and how to spice it up. Tony husband, | :26:45. | :26:53. | |
an award-winning cartoonist's, he got busy, and he sent these in. | :26:53. | :27:02. | |
Have a look. That is due in a bubble. I like the bobble! There | :27:02. | :27:10. | |
are more, here we go. Chickpeas and a unicycle. Look at you in the | :27:10. | :27:17. | |
barbed wire! It is a tribute to Gordon, of course. There is you | :27:17. | :27:22. |
