Hello and welcome to the programme. The headlines: a man shot dead by a | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
police marksman in a Cheshire village his name to as three other | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
men appear in court. We will have the latest on the | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
weekend events which shocked the community. | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
Also tonight, a waste of money, domestic abuse charities criticised | :00:21. | :00:25. | |
a pilot scheme to identify violent partners after a woman was killed | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
in Salford. The Cowboys cough up. Men who made | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
millions from a building scamp are ordered to pay compensation. | :00:34. | :00:40. | |
To the tills, lost letters from Henry VII to one of his wives are | :00:40. | :00:45. | |
found at a Cheshire estate and tell us more about him. He was a big fat | :00:45. | :00:52. | |
fellow! He had six wives. I know he was very large. | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
It is you're around. Just look at how much a businessman is said to | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
:01:05. | :01:12. | ||
have paid for drinks in a nightclub. Andy Gill is in Liverpool now with | :01:12. | :01:20. | |
a sneak preview of that staggering Babel. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
I am inside the nightclub where it is said to have taken place. More | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
than �200,000 spent mainly on champagne, wine and vodka. But a | :01:28. | :01:33. | |
reassuringly ordinary �42 spent on lemonade. He was the man who spent | :01:33. | :01:40. | |
it? We will tell you what we know towards the end of the programme. | :01:40. | :01:43. | |
First, three men have been in court today following a police operation | :01:43. | :01:47. | |
at the weekend in which officers shot a man dead. The trio and | :01:47. | :01:50. | |
accused of conspiring to commit robbery. | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
Meanwhile, the Independent Police Complaints Commission have begun an | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
investigation into the death of Anthony Grainger. He was shot in a | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
car park in the centre of a Cheshire village on Saturday | :02:00. | :02:04. | |
evening. Our chief reporter has the story. | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
Flowers in memory of Anthony Grainger. The 35 Google from Bolton | :02:08. | :02:16. | |
was shot dead in this car park in Cheshire. -- the 35-year-old. | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
a gun shot being fired. It did not seem real. I thought it was like | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
something out of a film. Culceth forces in the jurisdiction of | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
Cheshire Police, but the officers on Saturday were from Greater | :02:30. | :02:33. | |
Manchester Police. Members of the Special Operations Branch were | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
investigating an apparent plot to carry it a series of robberies. | :02:38. | :02:42. | |
The attention focused on this car, Anthony Grainger was inside. By the | :02:42. | :02:48. | |
officer opened fire is as yet unknown. Our condolences we descend | :02:48. | :02:53. | |
to the family. We also have in mind the very difficult decisions that | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
our firearms officers have to make. Anthony Grainger was known to the | :02:57. | :03:00. | |
police. He had been a defended in a multi-million-pound drugs case in | :03:01. | :03:05. | |
2010. He was cleared of supplying growth -- clear of supplying drugs, | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
but had admitted to handling stolen cars and served a jail term. The | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
Independent Police Complaints Commission are conducting their own | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
investigation into the circumstances of Anthony Grainger | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
death. Three men are appearing in court | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
under suspicion of conspiracy to carry out robberies. When the case | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
of Jones they will face Manchester Crown Court. | :03:31. | :03:36. | |
-- when in the case adjourns. Next tonight, should a person be | :03:36. | :03:39. | |
able to find out if their partner or spouse has a history of domestic | :03:39. | :03:43. | |
abuse? If you live in Greater Manchester you will be able to do | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
just that. It follows a campaign from the father of Clare Wood. She | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
was killed by her partner, a man who it turned out had a string of | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
convictions for violent behaviour. Greater Manchester Police are one | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
of four forces piloting what is known as Clare's Law. Domestic | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
violence campaigners say it is a waste of time. Any moment, we will | :04:05. | :04:07. | |
talk to Claire's father, Michael Brown. | :04:07. | :04:12. | |
Clare Wood was found -- was murdered in 2009. She had been | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
strangled and set on fire by her ex-boyfriend, George Appleton. She | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
met him on the Internet, and did not know she had -- he had a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
history of domestic violence. He subjected her to months of abuse | :04:25. | :04:29. | |
and death threats before killing her. Dot the Facebook Fugitive, | :04:29. | :04:35. | |
George Appleton went on be done before hanging himself. Clare | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Wood's father, Michael Brown, has campaigned for this new law. The | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Home Office announced they were setting up this new scheme in her | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
name. Clare's law will allow men and women to find out if their | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
partner has a violent past. The domestic violence campaign group | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
Refuge has attacked the scheme, saying it will do little to defend | :04:53. | :04:58. | |
victims and was expensive and untested. Mr Brown said that if it | :04:58. | :05:04. | |
had been in place earlier, his daughter may still be alive. | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
Joining me now from a studio in Leeds, is Michael Brown, Clare | :05:08. | :05:13. | |
Wood's father. You have campaigned ever since you gotta posmac death | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
to have close law introduced, why is it so important to you? | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
daughter slipped through all the nets that were supposedly in place | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
to catch people like herself. She was abominable and when she was in | :05:26. | :05:32. | |
trouble, she did not get the assistance she needed. -- she was | :05:32. | :05:39. | |
vulnerable. Do you think if it had been introduced before her death, | :05:39. | :05:45. | |
that Clare would have taken this up? Yes, that is correct. There | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
seems to be some misrepresentation of what I him tried to get across | :05:52. | :05:58. | |
here. I am not asking for partners to be able to find it welly Nellie | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
what their other partner has done, what we are at -- what we are | :06:04. | :06:06. | |
advocating is that if you are any domestic violence situation, you | :06:06. | :06:11. | |
should be tipped off by the police that these people who had a history | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
is your partner. Obviously, Clare died in horrific | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
circumstances. Does this pilot scheme in any way bring you any | :06:20. | :06:26. | |
comfort? Not at present, no. This is a trial period for nine months. | :06:26. | :06:30. | |
When I see it taking into law and died realise that women's lives | :06:30. | :06:37. | |
have been saved by it, that is when, possibly the comfort will come. -- | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
and I realise. What do you make of the state and by the Campaign Group | :06:43. | :06:49. | |
Refuge that this is a waste of time and a waste of money? Strange the | :06:49. | :06:55. | |
enough, I was the see the whole of refuge in November, and when I left | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
her, I thought her and I were in accord with Clare's Law. It was to | :07:01. | :07:07. | |
my amazement this morning that I heard what she had said. I have the | :07:07. | :07:13. | |
report commissioned by the Wiltshire Chief Constable, one how | :07:13. | :07:20. | |
much it would have cost. Each case would have cost 35p 93p. That is of | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
the top of my head. -- each case would have cost �35. If a woman's | :07:27. | :07:34. | |
life in Britain is not worth �35, I think we had better all move out. | :07:34. | :07:42. | |
Thank you very much for joining us. Some more of the main stories, and | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
the reader of Salford City Council, John Merry, has lost his bid to | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
become the city's first elected mayor. After campaigning, he has | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
been by the former Pickles MP Ian Stewart in the fight to stand as | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
Labour's candidate in May. Two police stations on the Isle of | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
Man are being forced to close as a result of Government cutbacks. | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
Following the island's recent Budget, police must make savings of | :08:07. | :08:11. | |
�600,000 in the next year. The five current policing neighbourhood | :08:11. | :08:18. | |
areas will be reduced to four. The HMS Liverpool marked the end of | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
for 30 years of service with her final voyage today. She sailed | :08:22. | :08:25. | |
towards Cammell Laird, where she was built, to perform a gun salute | :08:25. | :08:32. | |
before heading back to the city to salute the Liver Building. -- the | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
Liver Building. We stay in the city of Liverpool, | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
because you have heard of Liverpool One, let us tell you about | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
Liverpool 2, the next investments and a jobs bonanza to hit the city. | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Beds are being invited to build a new port terminal in the city. It | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
is a project that should create 5,000 new jobs with the �3 million | :08:53. | :09:03. | |
:09:03. | :09:07. | ||
One of the Panama Canal, one is the Mersey. What is happening there | :09:07. | :09:15. | |
matters here. Why? Because this is the Panama Canal being expanded. By | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
2015, if bigger container ships will be able to shortcut from the | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Atlantic to the Pacific, the mercy must keep up or lose out. This is | :09:23. | :09:28. | |
the plan. A brand new wall will be built from here, right the way over | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
to the far side and all of this stretch of the Mersey here will be | :09:33. | :09:37. | |
filled in for the new terminal. Great news for jobs, they say, but | :09:37. | :09:42. | |
also great news for the environment. This share tested for Antwerp is a | :09:42. | :09:46. | |
fraction of the size they will be able to cater for in the future. | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
Container ships five times the size of this, bringing an extra 700,000 | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
containers paired you to Liverpool. This is used as significant. An | :09:56. | :10:01. | |
investment of around �300 million, and 5,000 jobs being created. | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
one to, as be revealed last week, said have there are worried. There | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
lodging an appeal against public money being spent on this project. | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
We feel confident that we have some hurdles to get through, but that | :10:13. | :10:17. | |
the funding will be available in the autumn of next year. -- autumn | :10:17. | :10:24. | |
of this year. With work completed by 2015, locals will like the jobs | :10:24. | :10:29. | |
created, but they will not like the 300,000 extra bodies turned on to | :10:29. | :10:33. | |
the roads every year. The story was that the Olympics | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
would give the whole country a boost, but that is not the | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
experience of businesses in parts of Cumbria. | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
Lake District companies have revealed that instead of | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
encouraging tourism, tens of thousands of pounds' worth of | :10:47. | :10:53. | |
bookings have already been lost because of the Games this summer. | :10:53. | :10:57. | |
Even in the bleakest of whether, at the Lake District will look | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
stunning. The landscape a big drop to visitors at this farm near | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
Hawkshead, the home of Beatrix Potter. It was hoping that -- it | :11:06. | :11:09. | |
was hoped that the Olympics would boost to this numbers here, but | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
many say that it is having the opposite effect. Since the | :11:14. | :11:24. | |
:11:24. | :11:24. | ||
beginning of 2012, figures wise, we have had many cancellations. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
The cancellation there happening because hotel prices in London, | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
where Japanese tourists stayed there for journey north, a lot to | :11:31. | :11:35. | |
six times the normal price this summer. Tour operators are | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
cancelling altogether. On Lake Windermere it is the same story. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
is difficult to quantify. It is all key to measure the bookings that | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
have been cancelled, but it is harder to estimate the bookings | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
which never materialised. operator which usually brings 5,000 | :11:52. | :11:55. | |
Japanese to the Lakes in July and August say they have voters planned | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
during the Games. Next month a huge TV advertising campaign begins, | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
aiming to fill some of the gaps left by the Japanese. The | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
Government hopes that the exposure of the Olympics will have benefits | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
everywhere. The reasons that people are coming here will be different, | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
but that change will have a huge opportunity wrapped up in it. | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
only when the Games are over that we will learn whether they have | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
been a winner for this part of the north-west. | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
As we said, that report is part of the Inside Out programme tonight, | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
but they will reveal just how many bookings had been cancelled and a | :12:33. | :12:38. | |
few weeks. That issue on BBC One at 7:30pm. | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
A family of a fraudulent builders who conduct elderly people out of | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
their life savings face their own massive bill of �1.3 million. | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
Investigators have uncovered a huge amount of money that this family | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
from Cleveland have made through shoddy practices and exorbitant | :12:55. | :12:59. | |
fees. It will now be forfeited to the courts in order to compensate | :12:59. | :13:05. | |
victims. This video shows the contempt with | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
which the family treated their victims. Here, fight Tommy Jnr | :13:10. | :13:15. | |
reveals the special chemical he will use to seal the block work on | :13:15. | :13:25. | |
:13:25. | :13:30. | ||
Is a special sealant to petard. This 80-year-old woman was one of | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
the victims. She paid over �6,000 for her driver, and then the | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
problems began. The flooding of the garage, the manhole cover that went, | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
collapsed. It was only on wood, it should have been on something else. | :13:45. | :13:51. | |
I think it is bare-faced robbery. They are calling elderly people. I | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
am not young. The family, francs senior, and his sons, corned | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
elderly cases out of thousands of pounds. They were killed in | :14:04. | :14:10. | |
November for a total of 15 years. The bill they will have to pay back | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
now totals �1.3 million. To my knowledge, this is the first in the | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
beating, and probably the country, where all of the victims in a crime | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
such as this have been fully recompense. That is a significant | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
result. If they can get it back, it should go back to the rightful | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
owners. It should not be such a disaster as we thought it was. It | :14:34. | :14:38. | |
would give us great springtime joy. Phyllis hopes her experience will | :14:38. | :14:48. | |
:14:48. | :14:51. | ||
Sport on the way in just a minute. When the National Trust took over | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
Dunham Massey near Altrincham in the 1970s, they knew they were | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
getting a beautiful stately home. What they did not know was that | :14:58. | :15:02. | |
they were getting a treasure trove of letters from royalty. Letters | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
from Henry VIII, Charles II and William III were kept as souvenirs | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
by the family that once owned Dunham. But the letters were hidden | :15:08. | :15:17. | |
away and have only now come to light. | :15:17. | :15:26. | |
Henry VII. We know so much about him. He had a large garden down and | :15:26. | :15:31. | |
Hampton Court. From lifelike portraits to not so lifelike dramas. | :15:31. | :15:38. | |
When it comes to monarchs, Henry VIII is royalty. Jane Seymour. Six | :15:38. | :15:47. | |
wides, divorced, beheaded, died, divorced, beheaded, survived. | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
Letters from William III, the future Charles II and Henry's wife | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
Jane Seymour have suddenly turned up at Dunham Massey. But Henry's | :15:53. | :15:55. | |
letter, demanding troops for his Scottish war, is the star | :15:55. | :16:05. | |
:16:05. | :16:08. | ||
attraction. This is from Henry? this is his signature. How where | :16:08. | :16:16. | |
these found? We found them in the pictures stored. I found this when | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
getting other pictures. These letters were in there. Just to hold | :16:20. | :16:26. | |
things that these men, these monarchs, had held was exciting and | :16:26. | :16:32. | |
significant in my career. This letter is 458 years old, older than | :16:32. | :16:36. | |
the house itself. What is amazing is these treasures could have | :16:36. | :16:45. | |
remained hidden for so long. Mail the Earl died in August 1976 and he | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
left dead in his will completely with the contents. | :16:50. | :16:57. | |
It is amazing you are still finding things. Yes, but I do not think you | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
would be surprised that you saw some of the rooms. So some | :17:01. | :17:10. | |
treasures could still be found? The letters are now on show at | :17:10. | :17:20. | |
:17:20. | :17:21. | ||
Dunham Massey. Expect a big rush. What a treasure to find. And | :17:21. | :17:27. | |
speaking of treasures. I assume that you mean me? Discontent | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
amongst Blackpool fans over an �11 million fee paid by the club to a | :17:33. | :17:41. | |
company run by its controversial owner of one Royston. -- owner Owen | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
Oyston. That's right. The Football Supporters Federation says the | :17:48. | :17:55. | |
scale of this payment is quite staggering, and is unacceptable. | :17:55. | :17:59. | |
Some Blackpool fans are calling on Mr Oyston to pay back the money, or | :17:59. | :18:03. | |
at least a substantial part of it. What was this money paid for? | :18:03. | :18:06. | |
was paid last year to a company called Zabaxe, owned by Owen Oyston | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
and his wife. It provides accountancy, tax and consultancy | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
services. Some fans are saying �11 million is a ridiculous amount for | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
those kind of services. As Richard Askam now reports, the payment is | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
being strongly defended by Owen Oyston's son, Karl Oyston, the | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
current chairman. Build gradually and steadily | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
without paying big transfer fees or wages. Blackpool's mantra. An | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
antidote to the high spend high risk philosphy of some other clubs. | :18:29. | :18:34. | |
But one that to some now sounds rather hollow. I think supporters | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
will want to know how it can be, in a season with the team only got | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
relegated by one point, that this money was used for this purpose, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
rather than possibly strengthening the team. Owen Oyston, the club's | :18:48. | :18:53. | |
owner, took over in 1987. It is his son Karl who now runs it. Seen here | :18:53. | :18:58. | |
on the right of the picture. Speaking to me today in South | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
America, where he's away on business, he told me the �11 | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
million is still available to the club if it Is needed. Absolutely. | :19:06. | :19:11. | |
My father has always been prepared to back the football club to | :19:11. | :19:17. | |
whatever tune. The family can point to great progress since taking over | :19:17. | :19:21. | |
at dilapidated club a quarter of a century ago. But there is | :19:21. | :19:25. | |
considerable anger about the size of this payment, a figure greater | :19:25. | :19:31. | |
than the total wage bill last CC for the players and manager. | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
think it is terrible. The money being brought in and we are | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
struggling as it is. At the end of the day, it is their club. It is | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
probably not fear from a fan's point of view. A sign that, despite | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
going well this season in the Championship, some fans feel do | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
short changed. The club made a profit of �20 million from the | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
Premier League. My father has never once refused to support the club | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
financially or otherwise and that remains the case. My father's | :20:05. | :20:10. | |
record speaks for itself. He has been with Blackpool or 25 years, | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
having saved it from extinction. Now, the two Manchester clubs both | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
won at the weekend. It left City two points ahead of United in a | :20:21. | :20:24. | |
title battle which looks like it will go down to the wire. | :20:24. | :20:31. | |
Two more wins for the top two. Whilst city's was expected, | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
United's was a statement of intent. Goals from Wayne Rooney and Ashley | :20:37. | :20:43. | |
Young sort of spires at the end of a tricky run. -- saw off Tottenham | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
Hotspur. We needed that. Up until then, Tottenham were fantastic and | :20:50. | :21:00. | |
gave us a hard time. City eased back Bolton -- eased by Bolton. | :21:00. | :21:10. | |
:21:10. | :21:12. | ||
Bolton were condemned to 19th. Maybe we could have scored three | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
goals. City have the goals advantage, but United have the | :21:18. | :21:22. | |
easier fixture list against sides in the middle of the table or below. | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
The Blues must face Arsenal, Chelsea and Newcastle with one at | :21:28. | :21:34. | |
looming larger than other, the one between the two sides on April 30th. | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
United's win has put them in a stronger position. We still have | :21:38. | :21:44. | |
Manchester City as favourites, Manchester just behind them. It is | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
almost too close to call. Wigan look odds-on to be relegated after | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
a home defeat which saw the German criticising were better off. But | :21:54. | :22:01. | |
unlike home fans, his manager will not leave the stadium. -- which saw | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
the chairman criticising. The battle at the bottom, like at the | :22:06. | :22:15. | |
top, is still too close to call. It is back to the future at | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
Tranmere. They have re-appointed Ronnie Moore as manager after | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
sacking Les Parry. He lost his job after Saturday's defeat at fellow | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
League One strugglers Chesterfield left Rovers just one point above | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
the drop zone. Ronnie Moore has been brought in for the rest of the | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
season. He is interested in taking on the job permanently if he can | :22:36. | :22:40. | |
save them from relegation. And you can see a full interview | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
with Ronnie Moore, and the story of how Les Parry came to be sacked, | :22:44. | :22:48. | |
when I come back later on this evening. That is on Late Kick Off | :22:48. | :22:50. | |
on BBC One at 11:05pm. Finally, congratulations to Dan | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
Sliwinski, one of the five hopefuls we've been following on the road to | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
the Olympics. Dan, from Preston, qualified for the games when he won | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
the 100 metres breaststroke at the trials last night. | :22:59. | :23:03. | |
Well done to him. This is the story that has had at the one talking. | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
The biggest bar bill at the. I was in Spain last year but some friends. | :23:10. | :23:18. | |
�750. I had one potato. Most of it was for wind. Not as big as the | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
next one. Absolutely shocking, but not quite as shocking as a customer | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:36. | ||
at a nightclub in Liverpool. It was �203,000.948 -- it was �203,940. I | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
said that wrong initially. It was all for alcohol. Happening at the | :23:44. | :23:49. | |
Playground nightclub, where correspondent is spared. We presume | :23:49. | :23:56. | |
it was not you? No, the boss does not have to worry about the | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
expenses bill. It was a young foreign currency trader, | :24:00. | :24:05. | |
celebrating with friends, running up his enormous bill. Most of it | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
was on a single, large bottle of champagne that has 30 litres of | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
champagne. It weighs 45 kilograms. That was along with another lot of | :24:18. | :24:21. | |
bottles of vodka and champagne. Oh we do not know his name, | :24:21. | :24:29. | |
unfortunately. The bill was at �200,000. Is this some kind of a | :24:29. | :24:36. | |
record? It must be. We believe it is. The previous record was a | :24:36. | :24:42. | |
rather pathetic �170,000, run up by an American gambler at a nightclub | :24:42. | :24:48. | |
in London. This beats it by some way. In a city like Liverpool, some | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
people might think that a bill like this in a city which has had some | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
cutbacks is perhaps not been the best possible taste. There are some | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
interesting details on the bill. �42 on lemonade alone. If you look | :25:04. | :25:14. | |
at the bottom, it was a VAT free night on Tuesday, so perhaps the | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
gentleman picked the wrong night for his bank busting bench. | :25:22. | :25:29. | |
And what appear. You might have heard some exclamations. You would | :25:29. | :25:36. | |
not cost that much? I would not know where to start. I would like | :25:36. | :25:46. | |
:25:46. | :25:47. | ||
to meet the people who order We had almost everything, including | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
at taste of winter. Tomorrow looks fine again, after a good one today. | :25:52. | :25:57. | |
Some rain moving in through Wednesday. Wednesday could be a | :25:57. | :26:02. | |
repeat of yesterday with wintry showers. There is no real | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
consistency to the weather. The low pressure implementing through the | :26:06. | :26:12. | |
weekend slips away. Whether France come towards us to what Wednesday. | :26:12. | :26:17. | |
-- weather fronts. Much more tightly-packed isobars on Thursday | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
and Friday, which is why the wind will pick up. Through this evening | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
and overnight, after a nice day, tonight is dry, clear and cold. | :26:29. | :26:35. | |
Temperatures down to minus two in rural areas, towns and cities just | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
over two. Some mist could be possible tomorrow morning. It will | :26:40. | :26:48. | |
feel mother called for the past few hours of delight. -- it will feel | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
rather cold. Some more cloud tomorrow afternoon. That will | :26:54. | :26:58. | |
spread everywhere towards teatime it. Then a band of rain coming in | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
tomorrow night. Changing the weather in a few ways to a | :27:03. | :27:10. | |
Wednesday. Temperatures tomorrow the same as today. Enjoy. Sold Tony, | :27:10. | :27:18. | |
your biggest bar bill was �750. have been out with Tony and he has | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
