across higher ground but perhaps even at lower levels of light | :00:00. | 3:59:59 | |
dusting to come as well. Welcome to BBC Points West, | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
with Alex Lovell and David Garmston. Our main story tonight: Death | :00:08. | :00:10. | |
on a level crossing. Investigators spend the day | :00:11. | :00:12. | |
at the track where a car It's the fourth fatality | :00:13. | :00:14. | |
in three years. The question tonight is why the | :00:15. | :00:29. | |
victim who was the only person authorised to use a vehicle on the | :00:30. | :00:32. | |
crossing got stuck on the track and was hit by a train. | :00:33. | :00:34. | |
The rail line in Gloucestershire reopened in the last few hours. | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
We'll have the latest from the scene. | :00:38. | :00:39. | |
Our other headlines tonight: Accelerating from 3G to 5G, | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
the latest internet signal is to be tried out in Bristol. | :00:43. | :00:45. | |
From uniforms to boiler suits, a company celebrating 160 | :00:46. | :00:49. | |
And exchanging life experiences, a nursery school teams | :00:50. | :00:57. | |
There are calls tonight for a level crossing where a man was killed | :00:58. | :01:09. | |
to be permanently closed to all vehicles. | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
The victim, who's yet to be named, was hit yesterday by a train | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
on a crossing he used regularly in Frampton Mansell | :01:15. | :01:17. | |
The line reopened late this afternoon. | :01:18. | :01:21. | |
Steve Knibbs is there for us this evening. | :01:22. | :01:31. | |
Thank you very much indeed. This is the crossing that is the focus of | :01:32. | :01:38. | |
the investigation today. It is the dues operated crossing and the | :01:39. | :01:40. | |
victim we are told is the only member of the public who had a key | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
to the padlock on this gate and he was the only person authorised to | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
bring a vehicle across the crossing and as has already been said he had | :01:49. | :01:51. | |
not ready for many years. The process would be that anyone rings | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Network Rail if they want use the crossing and when they are given the | :01:57. | :01:59. | |
all clear they can go across. Something went very wrong yesterday. | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
This time last night the scene here was very different as the | :02:04. | :02:07. | |
investigation was in full swing. Passengers were taken off the train | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
and taken to the local pub and given food and drinks and transport to | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
their final destination, but with the investigation today the time was | :02:15. | :02:19. | |
for answers to the questions about what happened here. | :02:20. | :02:23. | |
The train and the remains of the land Rover have been moved away and | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
the search for clues has started. They want to explain why the victim | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
and his car were hit by the train. When the arrived at the scene | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
yesterday afternoon we were dealing with the initial incident itself and | :02:38. | :02:41. | |
light got the better of us. We wanted to make sure that we could | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
recover all available evidence to us this morning mummy had the natural | :02:45. | :02:52. | |
daylight available to us. With the police operation over enquiries | :02:53. | :02:58. | |
began. Great Western Railway are offering support and help to the | :02:59. | :03:01. | |
train driver. Here in Frampton Mansell thoughts are with the | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
victim, a 60-year-old farmer who has yet to be formally identified. He | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
used to keep animals, he had cows and sheep in the field is just the | :03:12. | :03:14. | |
other side of the railway and he used to help, my dad had animals as | :03:15. | :03:19. | |
well so they would help each other out and take the animals out to | :03:20. | :03:22. | |
market and stuff like that. He was always there to help if he was | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
around. My dad would always call on him if he wanted any help for | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
anything. He was always willing, and my dad would help him as well and it | :03:31. | :03:34. | |
was that sort of relationship. The key question is why the victim was | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
still on the track when the train approached. It was a crossing he had | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
used regularly. He has been using it for years. We have crossed when we | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
had animals there as well so we know what it is like, you have to phone | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
and cross and wait. He has done it all is life and I have been there | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
when he has crossed and chatted to him before he has crossed so it is a | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
normal and everyday thing really. In 2014 a motorcyclist was killed on | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
the crossing and there have been two suicide here since and since the | :04:07. | :04:09. | |
tragedy yesterday there are calls for the crossing to be closed all | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
but pedestrians. I just feel it is a rather dangerous crossing. The line | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
is on a bend either side and you can only see the trains for 100 metres | :04:18. | :04:23. | |
and by the time the whistle has gone all their horn they are upon you. | :04:24. | :04:27. | |
With the line closed today replacement buses were laid on for | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
passengers between Gloucester and Swindon so disruption for many but | :04:32. | :04:34. | |
necessary for the investigators to find out why someone lost their life | :04:35. | :04:45. | |
here. The question here now is what went wrong and the investigation is | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
carrying on. These kind of crossings are unique around the country. Over | :04:50. | :04:53. | |
the last year there were four incidents of trains colliding with | :04:54. | :04:55. | |
vehicles at crossings like this. That figure was the | :04:56. | :04:57. | |
lowest for ten years. Network Rail says it is working | :04:58. | :04:59. | |
to improve safety at every crossing but, as Andrew Plant reports, | :05:00. | :05:02. | |
there are thousands across the rail network, | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
and some, like the one here, rely on the user taking | :05:05. | :05:07. | |
their own safety seriously. Vehicle collisions on crossings | :05:08. | :05:14. | |
are rare, but they do happen. In this case the driver | :05:15. | :05:16. | |
walked away unharmed, In 2009 in the village | :05:17. | :05:23. | |
of Little Bedwyn in Wiltshire, mother-of-three Julia Canning | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
was killed, the sister-in-law of comedian Ruby Wax, | :05:28. | :05:31. | |
as she walked her dogs And in Athelney on the Somerset | :05:32. | :05:34. | |
Levels in 2013, a high speed train He knew the crossing well, | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
but had attempted to cross There are more than 6,000 | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
level crossings across Only 110 of them though are like | :05:47. | :05:53. | |
the one at Frampton Mansell, where the user opens and shuts | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
the gate themselves. This crossing is very similar, | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
it's not completely open. In fact if you want to drive | :06:04. | :06:05. | |
across you need to have a key for the gate there but anyone can | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
walk across it, just use the gate and then the best way of crossing | :06:10. | :06:12. | |
safely is just to look carefully up If you are bringing a vehicle | :06:13. | :06:15. | |
across you should really be using Those are connected to a signal | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
house and they will tell you how long you have got until the next | :06:21. | :06:28. | |
train is due, and exactly the same kind of phone | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
is positioned at the crossing Fatalities on the railway | :06:32. | :06:33. | |
network have in general In the most recent figures there | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
were 252 non-accidental deaths, Of those, 30 were people | :06:37. | :06:43. | |
trespassing on the tracks, three were pedestrians | :06:44. | :06:52. | |
using a crossing, and four Take a chance at a level | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
crossing and it's only a Network Rail has closed some | :06:55. | :06:58. | |
crossings and used TV campaigns to urge the public to take every | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
precaution at crossings. Still cameras regularly capture | :07:04. | :07:06. | |
people taking risks on the railways, unaware of just how quickly | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
a train can appear. A formal identification of the man | :07:12. | :07:31. | |
who died here is due tomorrow but there was no guarantee the name will | :07:32. | :07:35. | |
appear in the press but talking to people here it was clear that he was | :07:36. | :07:39. | |
a kind and much loved member of the community and everybody wants to | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
know why he died making a journey that he had done literally hundreds | :07:43. | :07:45. | |
of times. Thank you very much for that. | :07:46. | :07:47. | |
The Devizes MP Claire Perry has accused hardline colleagues | :07:48. | :07:49. | |
of behaving like jihadis over their support for Brexit. | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Right now, Parliament is debating the bill which would allow Brexit | :07:54. | :07:57. | |
negotiations to start, with the tone from MPs becoming | :07:58. | :08:00. | |
Our political editor Paul Barltrop has been watching events for us. | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
For five days MPs have debated what's called | :08:10. | :08:11. | |
the European Union Notification of Withdrawal Bill. | :08:12. | :08:19. | |
Put simply, that means beginning Brexit. | :08:20. | :08:20. | |
Now, most of the West's MPs are Conservative, | :08:21. | :08:22. | |
but that doesn't necessarily mean they'll agree with | :08:23. | :08:24. | |
Indeed, the MP for Devizes caused quite a stir comparing her own side | :08:25. | :08:28. | |
I feel sometimes I am sitting along with colleagues who are like jihadis | :08:29. | :08:36. | |
"Be gone, you evil Europeans, we never want you to | :08:37. | :08:42. | |
I am afraid I heard speeches last week exactly making that point. | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
Others weren't holding back either, with one pro-Brexit Wiltshire MP | :08:51. | :08:52. | |
On what does he base that assertion, given that the people he wants | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
to report on the situation were giving us the most extraordinary | :09:00. | :09:02. | |
They were telling us we were going to be attended by plagues | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
of frogs and locust and the sky was going to fall in. | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
And the normally low-profile West Dorset MP, Oliver Letwin, | :09:13. | :09:14. | |
got pretty fired-up attacking the idea of a second referendum. | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
It's the proposition a clericy that knows the answer and that believes | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
that people who vote otherwise are misguided and that they need | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
to be lead time after time after time to revise their opinions | :09:29. | :09:31. | |
by whatever means, until at last they give | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
MPs will vote for a last time at 8.00pm, and the party whips have | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
got a job on their hands, because rebellion is in the air. | :09:42. | :09:44. | |
Claire Perry disobeyed Conservative instructions yesterday, | :09:45. | :09:46. | |
And two of Bristol's Labour MPs defied their leader last week. | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Kerry McCarthy is a backbencher, while Thangam Debbonaire | :09:53. | :09:55. | |
But she didn't lose her job, there she was last night, | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
Both are likely to rebel again this evening. | :10:03. | :10:11. | |
We live in interesting times. Thank you, Paul. | :10:12. | :10:13. | |
You're watching BBC Points West with Alex and David. | :10:14. | :10:15. | |
Still to come: What a difference the decades make. | :10:16. | :10:22. | |
We take a look back at the history of workwear | :10:23. | :10:25. | |
And bridging the gap, the project aiming to to bring | :10:26. | :10:42. | |
That is very sweet and we will bring it to you later in the programme. | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
A former Royal Marine from Somerset who shot an injured Afghan insurgent | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
must wait to hear the result of an appeal against | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
The Martial Appeal Court is now considering Sergeant | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
His lawyers argue he was suffering from a mental illness in 2011 | :11:05. | :11:12. | |
and that fresh psychiatric evidence would have provided him a defence | :11:13. | :11:14. | |
If you've struggled with patchy phone signals or painfully slow | :11:15. | :11:25. | |
internet then scientists in Bristol may soon ease your pain. | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
They've been working on an ultra-fast and ultra-reliable | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
Now they want a share of a billion pounds fund that government | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
is hoping will transform the way we communicate. | :11:37. | :11:38. | |
Oh, I've got a tiny bit, a tiny bit of coverage. | :11:39. | :11:44. | |
She might only live a mile from the centre of Bristol, | :11:45. | :11:46. | |
but artist Ruth Jacobs lives in what they call a not-spot. | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
Making phone calls is only possible at the top of the stairs. | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
I try to phone people and then the signal just cuts out because it | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
looks like I've got coverage but really I haven't. | :12:00. | :12:01. | |
As soon as I try to use it just breaks up and disappears so then | :12:02. | :12:04. | |
I have to walk all around the house and try and get back | :12:05. | :12:08. | |
to people and it's a bit unprofessional really. | :12:09. | :12:11. | |
When it comes to mobile signal Britain languishes | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
We're behind Estonia, Peru and Albania, in 54th place | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
So how far have we really moved on from those trendy days | :12:19. | :12:25. | |
when phones were almost the size of bricks? | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
The Government is desperate not to slip into the digital | :12:29. | :12:32. | |
doldrums, so it wants to develop super-fast 5G. | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
If you're struggling to know your 4G from your 5G, | :12:36. | :12:38. | |
In the beginning, the early-80s, there was the first | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
generation of mobile phones, or 1G for short. | :12:43. | :12:45. | |
Then along came 2G, with added text messaging. | :12:46. | :12:50. | |
In 2003 the arrival of 3G integrated the internet into our phones. | :12:51. | :12:56. | |
Now the talk is of 5G, ultra-fast, ultra-reliable | :12:57. | :13:02. | |
and ultra-capable of linking lots of different networks together. | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
They're already working on developing 5G in this Bristol lab. | :13:07. | :13:14. | |
Now they're in talks with Government about becoming the national testbed. | :13:15. | :13:18. | |
It would mean a share of a billion pounds. | :13:19. | :13:22. | |
A lot of us in Bristol we have wonderful connectivity. | :13:23. | :13:24. | |
In your home you have all your teenagers on YouTube | :13:25. | :13:27. | |
and yourself actually streaming real-time iPlayer and then you get | :13:28. | :13:31. | |
out, you go into your car and you can't get the 4G | :13:32. | :13:34. | |
or equivalent 3G service, so 5G is going to stop all this. | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
5G would make a whole new world of tech possible. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
The virtual will soon become reality, and Bristol wants to lead | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
We will soon be able to spend even longer on our phones. Always good | :13:50. | :14:02. | |
news! And tomorrow Robin will be exploring | :14:03. | :14:03. | |
the many ways in which 5G is set to change our lives, | :14:04. | :14:06. | |
whether its controlling our heating He'll be stepping inside a simulator | :14:07. | :14:09. | |
for driver-less cars. They rely on the instant signal that | :14:10. | :14:12. | |
comes from 5G and they too are being designed and developed | :14:13. | :14:15. | |
here in Bristol. I can't wait. It's like tomorrow's | :14:16. | :14:19. | |
world here! It is, happening today. It took five pairs of boots | :14:20. | :14:26. | |
and ten million steps, but yesterday a Cheltenham mum | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
completed an epic walk around Natalia Spencer trekked | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
the 6,000 miles in memory of her young daughter Elizabeth, | :14:32. | :14:40. | |
who had a rare disorder. We'll be hearing from Natalia | :14:41. | :14:42. | |
in a moment, but first let's take This is the last picture | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
they took in school. Every second and every step | :14:47. | :15:02. | |
is dedicated to her. When I don't have her physically | :15:03. | :15:18. | |
I have this project and I treat it I feel very humble indeed that | :15:19. | :15:22. | |
people reacted so generously It's a sign of hope, it's a rainbow | :15:23. | :15:34. | |
that represents Elizabeth for me. Obviously a very quick quick summary | :15:35. | :15:51. | |
of the very long journey Is it surreal now that | :15:52. | :16:14. | |
you've finished? No, I can't really | :16:15. | :16:18. | |
believe anything over it. I just looked through those | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
pictures and remembering myself as an ordinary mum, | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
standing at the school gates waiting for my child to run out of school | :16:30. | :16:32. | |
and suddenly I find I don't think I believe any of it, | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
it's all so surreal. Has been an awful period for you, | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
of course, and you'll never get over the death of your daughter, | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
of course you won't, but has this This project gave me a very nice | :16:46. | :16:48. | |
purpose and I could still live for my daughter without her being | :16:49. | :16:56. | |
physically present in my life, but also fundraise for all the other | :16:57. | :17:00. | |
children who may need this help, who will benefit from | :17:01. | :17:05. | |
money which we raised. And you have raised | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
an enormous amount of money. I was overwhelmed by the generosity | :17:11. | :17:13. | |
and kindness of people, it's just amazing and just amazing | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
how generous people are in the UK. You didn't just walk north to south, | :17:25. | :17:27. | |
you went all around, That must have been some very | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
tricky treks at times. Oh, yes, of course, | :17:32. | :17:36. | |
it was quite difficult, challenging journey physically-wise | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
but because I am so emotionally concentrated on why I am doing it, | :17:41. | :17:43. | |
I have such a strong motivation. The memory of my child | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
is everything for me now Were there any great | :17:48. | :17:51. | |
dramas on the way round, It all went according | :17:52. | :18:00. | |
to plan strangely enough. I never stopped without | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
planning to stop. I did every single walk | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
as I wanted to and finished The rainbow is very important | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
to this appeal, isn't it? And then when you finished the walk, | :18:14. | :18:15. | |
the rainbow came out. Let's take a look | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
at it one more time. That is very beautiful shot | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
and a very moving moment. The rainbow was was whole | :18:26. | :18:29. | |
but we didn't catch it on camera. I call it a miracle, | :18:30. | :18:38. | |
I call it made from heaven. It is so lovely to see | :18:39. | :18:47. | |
you and I know your daughter We recorded that just a bit earlier. | :18:48. | :19:08. | |
She has a glow about her, she is such a lovely lady. We will move on. | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
Catwalks usually show off the latest in cutting edge fashion, | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
but there was one with a real difference in Bristol today. | :19:14. | :19:16. | |
It saw a parade of uniforms that workers have worn | :19:17. | :19:18. | |
It celebrated the history of a firm called Alexandra, | :19:19. | :19:23. | |
which from small beginnings became Europe's largest manufacturer | :19:24. | :19:26. | |
of workwear, even making uniforms for the Queen's staff! | :19:27. | :19:34. | |
We're joined by Martin Lyne, their Managing Director | :19:35. | :19:36. | |
and Cathy Laird, one of their longest serving employees. | :19:37. | :19:45. | |
Thank you for coming in. It looks like we have a mannequin Challenger! | :19:46. | :19:54. | |
Martin, why have you decided now to open up your archives of some of the | :19:55. | :20:00. | |
outfits around us? We have done some fabulous research in the last year | :20:01. | :20:04. | |
and it has demonstrated a rich story, one of the story of a Bristol | :20:05. | :20:08. | |
business that in 160 years has grown from a small family business to | :20:09. | :20:11. | |
where it is today and what has really come out of it is the role | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
that the business has played in the development of the modern workplace | :20:16. | :20:18. | |
and I think some of these mannequins start to demonstrate that through | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
the rich history that is there. We have three air which are all | :20:23. | :20:26. | |
uniforms for hospital staff. Describe how they have changed. I | :20:27. | :20:29. | |
know it is fairly obvious but this one would have been when? This was | :20:30. | :20:35. | |
from Florence Nightingale era, it was all prewar and all through the | :20:36. | :20:38. | |
walls, so this was traditionally what a nurse would wear. This is | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
really telling the story, and not just in the terms of design but in | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
terms of the fabric. If we come over to where I am over here, deaths, | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
looking at something like this on a fashion website is around a day ago. | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
It is from the 1960s and was one for It is from the 1960s and was one | :20:59. | :21:02. | |
hospitality items during that era hospitality items during that era | :21:03. | :21:04. | |
and was very much of the age fashion was a part of and what we were now | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
was created. You could run out of fabric for that one! The fabric has | :21:12. | :21:18. | |
changed. Fabric has changed in many of the garments because the | :21:19. | :21:21. | |
technology has changed and we produce fabrics for flexibility and | :21:22. | :21:26. | |
stretch and durability. Watch ability. Your company must have got | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
through a lot of man-made fibres, I have got to say! White of course it | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
has. One of the things that came out in the story is the roles that | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
females played in the workplace. This was 1915 and a typical | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
traditional Florence Nightingale until 1940 and then up to the modern | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
age with the American version of scrubs. The role women played | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
between and during the First World War has changed rapidly and these | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
garments or play a part in it. Alexander are at the fore part of | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
that and driving innovation and it is a fabulous story. The very | :22:02. | :22:06. | |
functional today. Ewan McGregor can be but some of the items we | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
showcased today are a lot more contemporary with a lot more | :22:10. | :22:14. | |
casualisation coming into hospitality roles and restaurants. | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
Some of it is about fit and comfort and the challenge for our businesses | :22:20. | :22:22. | |
to get the off-the-peg garments fitting great and making people look | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
superb and empowered in their roles. If you are wearing great nursing | :22:28. | :22:29. | |
uniforms that is how you feel about your place within a hospital. The | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
company is alive as well and we have reported on its ups and downs. We | :22:37. | :22:39. | |
are a business that has survived and thrived on we are under new | :22:40. | :22:43. | |
ownership, men's warehouse in America and we have new investment | :22:44. | :22:46. | |
in the business in the digital age and we are really starting to grow | :22:47. | :22:50. | |
again and we look forward with confidence. Send our regards to your | :22:51. | :22:54. | |
staff and I'm sure they work very hard. If uniforms are so great, why | :22:55. | :22:59. | |
aren't you wearing one? This is one! It is a premium seat from Alexandra. | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
Thank you very much. A nursery has started a relationship | :23:05. | :23:06. | |
with a care home in Bristol, where, once a fortnight, | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
young and old get together to chat. It's being held up as a idea | :23:11. | :23:13. | |
which could work across the country. Andy Howard's been a fly | :23:14. | :23:16. | |
on the wall today. In this little corner of Bedminster, | :23:17. | :23:18. | |
conversation is brisk. Around the table, making | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
Valentine's cards today, are people at the opposite ends | :23:22. | :23:32. | |
of their lives. She's gone to see her baby | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
that's in her stomach. Later on my mummy's belly will pop | :23:37. | :23:51. | |
and the baby will come out. Even though Harvey is off | :23:52. | :24:00. | |
to school in September, he wants to come back to visit | :24:01. | :24:01. | |
Brenda, and has arranged For now, these new friends get | :24:02. | :24:03. | |
together every two weeks. # Here we go round | :24:04. | :24:12. | |
the mulberry bush. # Here we go round | :24:13. | :24:14. | |
the mulberry bush. It's a project that I've been | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
thinking for a couple of years and there's actually a children's | :24:23. | :24:28. | |
nursery in Seattle that have combined with a care home | :24:29. | :24:30. | |
and actually coexist It's an unusual dynamic that | :24:31. | :24:32. | |
you don't really see anywhere else and a lot of our children don't | :24:33. | :24:36. | |
really have grandparents so having access to someone | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
who has their undivided attention and is happy to go | :24:40. | :24:42. | |
at their pace is brilliant. So, age is just | :24:43. | :24:47. | |
a number, after all. I'm very lovely. I made your face! | :24:48. | :25:10. | |
So sweet! Ian, we've made your face on the telly! Even they were | :25:11. | :25:11. | |
freezing cold upstairs probably. Actually it is not freezing cold yet | :25:12. | :25:21. | |
but certainly turning colder and it will be a different story by | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
tomorrow evening Friday evening for that matter. Really it is going to | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
be a colder theme that will grab the attention more than anything else | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
there has been some crazy headlines in certain newspapers about this so | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
I have disable not be an exceptional period of cold weather by any means | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
compared to some we have had historically and it will not be | :25:46. | :25:49. | |
exceptionally snowy. Many areas will stay dry, including a good deal of | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
our region, but it doesn't rule out a few light wintry flurries | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
developing through the course of tomorrow. This is how things are | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
shaping up. The easterly flow is now developing through the course of | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
today and the temperatures are dropping away accordingly and as we | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
continue overnight and into tomorrow we will generally have a lot of | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
cloud around with brighter phases. You will see there in the eastern | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
parts of the United Kingdom the snow flurries are floating inland from | :26:21. | :26:24. | |
the coast and some of them will at times be brought across by thick | :26:25. | :26:29. | |
cloud to at least get into eastern and north-eastern parts of our | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
region as the day wears on. Through the rest of this evening there are | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
showers around at the moment that will fade away and then we are in | :26:40. | :26:45. | |
for a dry night. There will be a fair amount of clear sky around four | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
times. It will be a chilly night most certainly and I know critters | :26:51. | :26:54. | |
are out because the temperatures will be from freezing to -2 or -3 | :26:55. | :26:59. | |
if we had on the breeze picking up if we had on the breeze picking up | :27:00. | :27:04. | |
that is the wind-chill we can expect if you are waiting at the bus stop | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
tomorrow morning. It will be pretty raw where you are exposed to that. | :27:10. | :27:14. | |
It should be a dry morning and it will be the case for the vast | :27:15. | :27:18. | |
majority of you through the course of the day. The best of any | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
brightness tends to get squeezed out towards the West. It will always be | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
competing with a lot of cloud around and at times it will bring in wintry | :27:30. | :27:33. | |
flurries into the Northeast and towards the south-east you will have | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
a stream of showers affecting some of the coastal districts of the | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
South West of England. Beyond that temperatures get up to two or 4 | :27:42. | :27:47. | |
degrees and it will be a similar story | :27:48. | :27:48. |
