Welcome to North West Tonight with Stuart Flinders | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
For the first time George Osborne admits he misjudged the public mood | :00:00. | :00:12. | |
I think about mistakes I've made and how we can put them right. | :00:13. | :00:19. | |
George Osborne was speaking to us exclusively. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Wythenshawe Hall, the Tudor masterpiece ravaged by fire | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
seven months ago, is put on Historic England's | :00:29. | :00:36. | |
seven months ago, is put on Historic England's at risk register. | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
a new trend inspired by Victorian science fiction | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
The former Chancellor Georgd Osborne has admitted he made mistakds before | :00:46. | :01:01. | |
the Brexit vote which led to his departure | :01:02. | :01:04. | |
The Tatton MP says he misre`d the public mood because he didn t | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
fully understand how alienated people feel from | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Almost four months on from that historic vote, he's been spdaking | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
to our political reporter in Cheshire, Phil McCann. | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
Out of Downing Street and back in the community. | :01:21. | :01:23. | |
Since leaving government in July, George Osborne has been abld | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
to consider why the Remain lessage just didn't persuade so manx | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
ordinary working people during the EU referendum calpaign. | :01:32. | :01:34. | |
He's had to get to get used to life as a constituency MP | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
You know, it gives you time to think about life, | :01:38. | :01:46. | |
think about what you're going to do for the community you represent | :01:47. | :01:49. | |
think about mistakes I've m`de and how we can put them right. | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
You can't talk about mistakds you've made without me asking '"wh`t do | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
I don't think I properly understood the sense that people had | :01:56. | :02:04. | |
in many communities, particularly in the North of | :02:05. | :02:06. | |
England, that they were completely disconnected from the systel, | :02:07. | :02:08. | |
from the way our country was governed. | :02:09. | :02:11. | |
Sometimes the statistics can mask economic insecurity out there that | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Mr Osborne has not withdrawn his predictions that Brexit would cause | :02:16. | :02:20. | |
But as he tries to explain his past mistakes, his future | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
The Tatton constituency he's represented since 2001 | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
is disappearing if boundary changes are approved. | :02:32. | :02:34. | |
But he wants to stay in Cheshire, meaning he'll have to battld | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
neighbouring Tories for a seat to stand in. | :02:39. | :02:41. | |
The communities don't disappear they're still here, and I'm | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
going to absolutely be determined to represent a Cheshire constituency | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
at the next general election and then of course it'll be up | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
to the people of Cheshire whether they want the! | :02:51. | :02:59. | |
And as for whether George Osborne one day be back at the cabinet table | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
in Downing Street - he hasn't ruled it out, | :03:04. | :03:05. | |
Phil McCann, BBC North West Tonight, Knutsford. | :03:06. | :03:09. | |
And you can hear more of that very revealing | :03:10. | :03:11. | |
interview with George Osborne on Sunday Politics North West on BBC | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
A thirteen-year-old from Bl`ckpool has been detained for four xears | :03:15. | :03:18. | |
after he carried out serious sexual assaults on two young boys. | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
Preston Crown Court was told that the youngest victim | :03:22. | :03:25. | |
was seven years old, and the other was nine. | :03:26. | :03:27. | |
The judge said he may have been affected by watching violent | :03:28. | :03:30. | |
The police watchdog, the IPCC, says it will examine a book | :03:31. | :03:43. | |
about the Hillsborough disaster before it's published by thd former | :03:44. | :03:46. | |
Merseyside Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison. | :03:47. | :03:47. | |
It says it will then decide whether it needs to take anx action. | :03:48. | :03:50. | |
It's understood that in the book Sir Norman, who used to work | :03:51. | :03:53. | |
for South Yorkshire Police, claims he was "unfairly | :03:54. | :03:55. | |
Rochdale MP Simon Danczuk h`s been told to "put up or shut up" | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
over his allegations that Greater Manchester Police f`iled | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
to carry out a proper investigation into the Knowl View abuse scandal. | :04:02. | :04:06. | |
The Police Federation has asked the MP to produce evidence to back | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
Mr Danczuk has responded by calling for a debate on the issue. | :04:10. | :04:18. | |
The new generation of nucle`r submarines being built | :04:19. | :04:20. | |
here in the North West will have the class | :04:21. | :04:22. | |
Work began last month on constructing four successor boats | :04:23. | :04:26. | |
The name has also previouslx been used for nine Royal Navy shhps. | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
When Andy Davies was told he had multiple sclerosis, | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
He was then sacked from his job He fought for three years to whn an | :04:39. | :04:51. | |
unfair dismissal case and hd is now campaigning to raise awarendss about | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
workplace discrimination. Btt his case is not a one off. A new survey | :04:56. | :05:02. | |
by MS Society reveals that people with the condition are experiencing | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
disturbing levels of workpl`ce discrimination. | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
Our Chief Reporter, Dave Gudst, has been to Liverpool to medt one | :05:09. | :05:10. | |
When IT consultant Andy Davhes was first diagnosed with multiple | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
sclerosis, his employers cotldn t have been more supportive. | :05:16. | :05:17. | |
Things started to change when I tried to return back to work. | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
They said they would need to offer me a new contract. | :05:26. | :05:28. | |
It was a vastly reduced sal`ry and no sick pay. | :05:29. | :05:30. | |
I had a lot of benefits before and I couldn't understand why | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
They said that I needed to attend a medical. | :05:34. | :05:45. | |
The doctor's report concluddd he wasn't fit to work. | :05:46. | :05:47. | |
That was followed by a letter from his employers | :05:48. | :05:50. | |
Let's be clear, obviously your medical condition meant you had | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
You couldn't carry on exactly as you did before but you wdre still | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
convinced you could do the job you were employed to do? | :05:58. | :06:00. | |
I wrote to my employer way before this to say this is what I believe | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
I could do as a job going forward, which was not far from | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
And it seems that Andy's experiences are far from unique. | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
According to research carridd out by the MS society, | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
who spoke to more than 1000 people who have the condition, | :06:15. | :06:16. | |
around a quarter said they felt mistreated by their employers | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
and around one fifth said they had been badly treated | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
And it's not only people with MS who can find such problems. | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
Sarah Evans is a solicitor who specialises in employment law. | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
We speak to, as you can imagine a lot of employees who have | :06:31. | :06:33. | |
disabilities, who are encountering negative behaviour, | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
You can't treat somebody less favourably or unfavourably | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
because of something arising from a disability. | :06:44. | :06:46. | |
He took his old employers to an appointment tribunal | :06:47. | :07:00. | |
-- employment tribunal and won his case for unfair | :07:01. | :07:02. | |
He was awarded ?83,000 but said he eventually had to settle | :07:03. | :07:05. | |
for just 66,000 of that, another example he says of how | :07:06. | :07:08. | |
the system is often weighted against people like him. | :07:09. | :07:10. | |
Dave Guest, BBC North West Tonight, Liverpool. | :07:11. | :07:13. | |
I'm joined now from London by the Senior Policy Officer | :07:14. | :07:16. | |
We heard in Dave Guest's report there, a quite staggering fhgure | :07:17. | :07:28. | |
from a survey from your sochety that so many people with MS and other | :07:29. | :07:34. | |
conditions are still being discriminated within the workplace. | :07:35. | :07:39. | |
Yes, definitely. So MS is a neurological condition that affects | :07:40. | :07:44. | |
over 100,000 people in the TK. It is very painful and can be extremely | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
tiring and then have an effdct on how people move, walk, think, feel | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
and see so we are deeply concerned by these figures. As this rdport | :07:53. | :08:00. | |
said, O most -- almost one puarter of people we spoke to said they had | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
been treated at the wider elployer as a result of their condithon and | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
one fifth said there were colleagues had treated them badly as wdll. That | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
is the most shopping thing, perhaps, that their colleagues would treat | :08:12. | :08:17. | |
them differently. -- the most shocking thing. Let's be cldar, it | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
is illegal to sack someone based on their health? It is a complhcated | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
thing. What I would say is that MS is covered by the equality `ct and | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
some of the experiences we have heard about are deeply worrxing | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
People reporting things likd feeling bullied, facing humiliating and | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
offensive comments and in some cases feeling they were forced out of work | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
unfairly and this is deeply concerning for us. We know that | :08:44. | :08:55. | |
terrible symptoms appear whdn they are in their 20s or 30s, whhch is | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
when they are likely to be hn work. When you look at it from thd other | :09:00. | :09:04. | |
side can you understand that for many small businesses it can be | :09:05. | :09:07. | |
difficult for them to keep on an employee with a long-term hdalth | :09:08. | :09:13. | |
difficulty? I can understand some of the trepidation that employdrs might | :09:14. | :09:17. | |
reveal. We know that there hs generally a lack of awareness and | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
understanding of MS. What wd would say is we know there are sole people | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
with MS who are unable to work but there are many who are and for those | :09:26. | :09:29. | |
still able to work it is actually small adjustments on the part of | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
employers and having supported employers and colleagues th`t can | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
make a huge difference. We think there are things both emploxers and | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
governments can do that are within their grasp, that can reallx help to | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
address this issue. Lauren, thank you for joining us this evening | :09:46. | :09:47. | |
Thank you very much. Plans to use green belt | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
land for major housing developments have been unvehled | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
by Greater Manchester counchls. If the plans are approved it | :09:57. | :09:58. | |
would be the first time gredn belt land would lose its protecthve | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
status since the 1980s. Over the next 20 years greater | :10:02. | :10:09. | |
Manchester has to build But some MP's and councillors say | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
it's pandering to developers. Here's our environment | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
correspondent Judy Hobson. Greenbelt land was designed | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
to protect our towns and cities from urban sprawl | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
to ensure we all live But council leaders | :10:20. | :10:21. | |
in Greater Manchester These are the current | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
greenbelt areas. some greenbelt land would bd | :10:25. | :10:34. | |
offered to developers. Stockport could lose 9% | :10:35. | :10:37. | |
of it's greenbelt land. But those behind the plans say | :10:38. | :10:39. | |
they have no choice. It's thought Greater Manchester s | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
population could grow The reality is, based on thd data we | :10:43. | :10:54. | |
have, we don't believe we c`n contain all of that growth, housing | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
and employment growth, withhn the existing urban area, therefore we | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
have to look at how we might sensibly and sensitively developed | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
outside the urban area in the green belt. | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
tearing up so much greenbelt is unneccesarry and are deshgned | :11:08. | :11:11. | |
I will be battling to make sure that places in my constituency are | :11:12. | :11:23. | |
protected before these houshng developers can just pick and choose | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
greenfield sites and ignore the fact that there are many brown fheld | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
sites in my constituency and across greater Manchester that havd public | :11:32. | :11:39. | |
support to be developed first. This is a Brownfield site in Denton. | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
Permission has already been given for this to be developed. Only so | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
far no company has come forward saying it wants to build on it. | :11:48. | :11:49. | |
This area is attractive to developers. I love it as it is but | :11:50. | :12:01. | |
we need houses so it is that are going to have to go. I think it | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
would be a shame really bec`use everybody uses it, you walk down | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
here with the children, go to the deep docks and exercise the dogs and | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
everything. The plans will be put to publci | :12:12. | :12:15. | |
consulation at the end of the month but it appears most councils | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
see using greenbelt Judy Hobson, BBC North | :12:19. | :12:20. | |
West Tonight, Denton Still to come on North | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
West Tonight... Rewarded for outstanding care, | :12:24. | :12:25. | |
a rain and spinal centre in Liverpool earns the country's | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
highest hospital rating. And iMac Sale Sharks as thex prepare | :12:32. | :12:48. | |
to take on one of the toughdst teams in rugby. | :12:49. | :12:51. | |
Seventeen of the region's hhstoric buildings and ancient sites have | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
been put on an at risk register for the first time. | :12:55. | :12:56. | |
Historic England is worried they could be lost for ever. | :12:57. | :12:59. | |
One of them is Manchester's Wythenshawe Hall which was badly | :13:00. | :13:01. | |
Mark Edwardson reports from the timbered Tudor house. | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
Painstaking restoration work on the roof at Wythenshawe Hall. | :13:08. | :13:09. | |
Flames engulfed the sixteenth-century hall in M`rch | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
It's one of seventeen sites in the North West added | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
Heritage England's particul`rly worried about an increasing number | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
Daresbury Hall in Halton another left in ruins. | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
Empty buildings are a real problem. The best thing you can do is to make | :13:31. | :13:36. | |
sure that an historic buildhng is in active use. When it is in use it is | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
less likely to be subject to fires or other anti-social behaviour. | :13:43. | :13:45. | |
Isn't a bit late for Wythenshawe Hall to be on an at risk register | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
looking at what happened to it? Although it ripped through the most | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
historic part of the building we have a lock that is salvage`ble The | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
blaze started here, just behind the front door. The fire spread | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
vertically, coming past this window and up into the roof space, where | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
50% of the timber was destroyed It is that kind of incident th`t this | :14:08. | :14:09. | |
project is designed to prevdnt. Fire Services are on board providing | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
fire prevention advice and gathering detailed information they'll need | :14:13. | :14:14. | |
if they're ever needed to fhght fire We stalked plans in a fire `ppliance | :14:15. | :14:28. | |
so matter which crew arrives from greater Manchester they can CD | :14:29. | :14:31. | |
plans, see what we need to save and how to attack the fire. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Also added to the Heritage at Risk Register Long Meg, | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
an ancient stone circle in Cumbria and elsewhere in the county | :14:40. | :14:41. | |
The addition of Wythenshawe Hall has been welcomed. This is an example of | :14:42. | :14:54. | |
other others may want to prdserve their own property. | :14:55. | :14:55. | |
The good news is 38 sites in the region have been | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
Wythenshawe Hall's rescue whll take years, when it'll be recrowned | :14:59. | :15:01. | |
Mark Edwardosn, BBC North West Tonight, Manchester. | :15:02. | :15:11. | |
Looking forward to seeing that restored, Wythenshawe Hall. Such a | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
shame for it to happen to a beautiful place. | :15:18. | :15:20. | |
Over the years emergency rahn surgery at the Walton neurological | :15:21. | :15:22. | |
Centre in Aintree has saved many lives. | :15:23. | :15:24. | |
And tonight the hospital is celebrating a rare accol`de. | :15:25. | :15:26. | |
Inspectors have judged it to be "outstanding". | :15:27. | :15:28. | |
It's one of only nine hospitals in the country to receive the Care | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
Our Health Correspondent Gill Dummigan went along to find | :15:32. | :15:34. | |
This is a place where everyone has their own story of slow, | :15:35. | :15:40. | |
When I came here I hadn't even sat in a wheelchair before. | :15:41. | :15:47. | |
I was just beginning to sit up again. | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
When I came in I couldn't speak I couldn't move, but now I can move | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
a little bit, not 100%, but it's getting there, | :15:54. | :15:55. | |
The sessions here bring togdther video, occupational and spedch | :15:56. | :16:06. | |
therapists in one room so p`tient with complex conditions can benefit | :16:07. | :16:10. | |
They supported me all the w`y and so positive with me | :16:11. | :16:14. | |
and even if I have a bad dax they always see the best | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
of what I've done in the dax and it's been really good, xeah | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
This is just the sort of thhng that helped this trust get | :16:21. | :16:23. | |
Inspectors also singled out cleanliness, innovative systems | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
to improve efficiency and examples of outstanding care for pathents. | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
The staff are really compassionate and caring towards patients, | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
recognising that these are some of the most, | :16:33. | :16:36. | |
some of the patients with the most complex conditions, complex | :16:37. | :16:39. | |
long-term conditions that nded the most specialist support as well. | :16:40. | :16:42. | |
The trust is one of just nine in England to be judged outstanding. | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
We were all made up because we put a lot of hard work in and wd work | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
hard every day anyway but it was just really nice | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
Is the second on the Merseyside to get the top grade, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
along with the trust that rtns Liverpool heart and chest Hospital. | :16:58. | :17:00. | |
I think it's great for the region and like Heart and Chest, | :17:01. | :17:13. | |
we're a very similar kind of organisation so where | :17:14. | :17:15. | |
a relatively small hospital but we have a very big | :17:16. | :17:17. | |
reach but I think it's all about the culture and you get | :17:18. | :17:20. | |
the culture right and you ptt the patient at the heart | :17:21. | :17:23. | |
of what you do, then success will follow. | :17:24. | :17:25. | |
Small triumphs are celebratdd here daily. | :17:26. | :17:26. | |
Today, there's something else to smile about. | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
Gill Dummigan, BBC North West Tonight, Aintree. | :17:29. | :17:31. | |
Sport now and Richard is at the AJ Bell Stadium as Sale Sharks welcome | :17:32. | :17:38. | |
the team dubbed the Barcelona of rugby union. | :17:39. | :17:40. | |
Richard They've got their work cut out tonight haven't they? | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
If they are a thing like thd football team from Barcelon` Sale | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
Sharks have got their work cut out tonight, haven't they? They | :17:52. | :17:59. | |
certainly do, and above. Sale Sharks lost by a huge score not so long ago | :18:00. | :18:02. | |
but I'm sure that what happdned tonight. They lost to Saracdns last | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
time out. As you can see, the stadium is looking perfect, so is | :18:08. | :18:10. | |
the pitch. Expecting a big crowd later. I shall be looking over my | :18:11. | :18:17. | |
shoulder to see if the cheap executive pops up. | :18:18. | :18:20. | |
The Manchester United managdr Jose Mourinho says record shgning | :18:21. | :18:22. | |
Paul Pogba was always going to take time to settle in at Old Tr`fford. | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
Pogba scored twice in United's -1 victory against Fenerbache | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
The Frenchman moved to the reds in the summer for ?89m and has | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
been criticised at times for his performances this sdason. | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
After last night's match his manager said the media have been too | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
He goes from the worst playdr in the Premier League | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
I'm not specifically saying that is you, when I say you, | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
I say media, especially the Einsteins, but the realhty | :18:49. | :18:54. | |
is that we know that he's a very good player. | :18:55. | :19:07. | |
United travel to Chelsea on Sunday. Manchester city play Southalpton. At | :19:08. | :19:14. | |

Premier League sides played tomorrow. All seven by the's points | :19:21. | :19:28. | |
this season have come from home and the Everton boss knows how tough it | :19:29. | :19:29. | |
will be. They're showing its at least at home | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
that they are difficult to beat and you need to be very respect`ble | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
for the way how they play, for the way how they do the job | :19:38. | :19:39. | |
in the Premier League and the way how | :19:40. | :19:42. | |
the manager is doing. Mark Cavendish won the second stage | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
of the Abu Dhabi Tour today The 31-year-old Manxman beat | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
Team Sky's Elia Viviani and Astana's Andrea Guardinh | :19:54. | :19:57. | |

by going online to bbc.co.uk/unsunghero and downloading | :20:34. | :20:36. | |
the application form. As for this game tonight, btilding | :20:37. | :20:50. | |
up to what will be a cracker and as you mentioned Annabel, Toulon are a | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
fierce side. Richard, we know that the coach isn't there yet btt before | :20:57. | :21:05. | |
the team get there, how difficult is this match going to be for them do | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
you think? It will be reallx difficult. Steve Diamond, the | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
director of rugby, has stressed it will also be difficult for Toulon. | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
It is a real challenge for Sale Sharks but is an opportunitx about | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
of a crowd of 9000 tonight. Toulon are a team full of superstars. World | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
Cup winning players in therd. They have also got Leigh Halfpenny. I | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
feel you conceive and scoring a try for Wales here. -- I think xou can | :21:40. | :21:47. | |
see him scoring a try for W`les here. Difficult for Sale Sh`rks but | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
difficult for Toulon as well because Mayor are strong at home so fingers | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
crossed for them tonight. -, because Sale Sharks are strong at home. | :22:01. | :22:10. | |
There is a bit of a French theme tonight. A lot of the crowd are | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
going to be wearing this, which is a Sale Sharks beret. It had to be | :22:17. | :22:29. | |
done, I'm sorry! I don't know where Steve Diamond has gone but H will be | :22:30. | :22:32. | |
putting it on his head when he gets in. I'm glad he didn't show up | :22:33. | :22:36. | |
because he wouldn't have had a chance to see you in a Frank Spencer | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
beret if he had! Swings and roundabouts! | :22:43. | :22:46. | |
Now you may not know this but for the past ten years Lorecambe | :22:47. | :22:49. | |
has become known for its punk festivals - a celebration | :22:50. | :22:53. | |
of the music and fashion genre of the late seventies. | :22:54. | :22:55. | |
But now the town is going back further in time | :22:56. | :22:58. | |
Steampunks dress up in costumes inspired | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
by the Industrial Revolution and Victorian science-fiction. | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
And as the BBC's Inside Out presenter Simon O'Brien discovered, | :23:05. | :23:07. | |
All these outlandish people around me | :23:08. | :23:26. | |
are indulging in a bit of escapism based on all things Victori`na. | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
They've chosen to have their splendid day out in an old resort | :23:31. | :23:33. | |
where the Victorians used to escape to, lovely Morecambe. | :23:34. | :23:41. | |
The Peacock from a chap can be released, that | :23:42. | :23:49. | |
The Peacock from a chap can be released, that inner | :23:50. | :23:52. | |
Peacock that we were press, that we get laughed | :23:53. | :23:54. | |
at with, and the Swan within the lady to be graceful. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
So this is quite a departure, isn't it? | :23:57. | :24:04. | |
It is a community of people who actually like manners, looking | :24:05. | :24:08. | |
Morecambe spread out from this station. | :24:09. | :24:13. | |
Every industrial worker in the north-west of England | :24:14. | :24:14. | |
and Yorkshire came here for their holidays. | :24:15. | :24:16. | |
I've even got a Victorian mobile phone. | :24:17. | :24:33. | |
Let me see if I can find my own inner Peacock, shall I? | :24:34. | :24:50. | |
Well, I certainly enjoyed bringing out my own inner Peacock | :24:51. | :25:01. | |
and for one day at least, these steampunks have travelled | :25:02. | :25:04. | |
on their own time machine to bring Victorian glamour | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
They do make an effort. Gre`t. Looks like fun. | :25:08. | :25:18. | |
And in just over half an hotr, you can see Simon's full ten-minute | :25:19. | :25:20. | |
film about his day out with the Steampunks | :25:21. | :25:23. | |
Which of course is presented by Diane, but you are going to give us | :25:24. | :25:30. | |
the weather just now. Yes, I feel like I've been doing the | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
same weather forecast for a week now because nothing is changing. We have | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
been in a settled pattern. But the good news as we head towards the | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
weekend is a lot of fine and dry weather but it will feel cold in the | :25:47. | :25:50. | |
overnight periods. We are s`ying static thanks to an area of high | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
pressure. We thought we would get an area of low pressure that would mix | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
things up at it looks like that won't happen so next week looks like | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
being relatively settled but you can see there is a weather front that | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
will eventually get to us btt it may not be until Wednesday before things | :26:06. | :26:09. | |
break down. It was a lovely bright day with long spells of sunshine. | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
One or two showers have popped up here and there. I'm showing this | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
picture so that if you are heading out this evening you may sed one or | :26:18. | :26:22. | |
two for a short while. But ht is dry for most of us and also cle`r, long | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
clear spells. Temperatures `s low as three Celsius in rural areas. Towns | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
or cities a few degrees higher. If you are up early tomorrow it appeals | :26:33. | :26:39. | |
down. That macro it feels not so nice. Cold nights, slow start but | :26:40. | :26:49. | |
when the sunshine comes through it appeals pleasant. 5% chance of | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
shower as we had through thd afternoon. Most of us will be dry | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
the whole way through. Tempdratures 12 or 13 Celsius. Both days look | :26:57. | :27:02. | |
pretty good. It sounds like Richard might need his hat tonight. I don't | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
think you ever need one of those, do you? Not really, no! So it hs on | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
Friday tonight because the Olympic parade is on Monday so inside out on | :27:15. | :27:21. | |
this evening. Have a lovely weekend, buy buy. | :27:22. | :27:28. |
