And Grandad's story - the discovery that took me back | :00:59. | :01:00. | |
A Swindon woman has met the man who killed her boyfriend in a car | :01:01. | :01:13. | |
crash, to draw attention to the dangers of using a mobile | :01:14. | :01:15. | |
Gavin Roberts died last June, when a car ploughed into his. | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
Meg Williamson says she's determined to make sure other drivers | :01:22. | :01:24. | |
This is the moment that Meg Williamson came face | :01:25. | :01:33. | |
to face with the man who killed her boyfriend. | :01:34. | :01:38. | |
Lewis Stratford caused a car crash while talking on his mobile phone. | :01:39. | :01:50. | |
He was an Australian living in Swindon. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
In June last year, he was driving to work on the A34. | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
Lewis Stratford was driving on the other way. | :01:56. | :01:57. | |
Arguing on the phone with his girlfriend. | :01:58. | :02:00. | |
He lost control, went through the central | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
reservation, and killed Gavin. I wish I could turn back | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
I feel like I have been kept here to pay for the mistake I have made. | :02:10. | :02:17. | |
For Meg, it was important for the meeting to take place. | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
What possessed him to pick up his mobile phone behind the wheel? | :02:26. | :02:28. | |
And to let him know how I'm feeling, how Gavin's family are feeling. | :02:29. | :02:47. | |
I'll never forget it, ever, and I will never be sorry enough. | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
But every time I say sorry, I think it is a bit cheap. | :02:51. | :02:53. | |
I don't want to hate you forever, I am not that type of person. | :02:54. | :03:19. | |
Eventually I will probably be able to forgive you. | :03:20. | :03:23. | |
But I just needed some questions answering first. | :03:24. | :03:32. | |
Lewis pleaded guilty to causing death by dangerous driving. | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
She now wants all schoolchildren to be taught about the dangers | :03:37. | :03:46. | |
Will Glennon, BBC Points West, Swindon. | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
Can I start by asking how did you get to the point | :03:53. | :04:00. | |
where you wanted to meet the man who killed your boyfriend? | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
I had already wanted to meet Lewis back in June of last year. Mostly | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
because at that point I was quite angry and I needed somebody to | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
blame. Over time, the compassion starts to set in and you realise | :04:19. | :04:22. | |
actually this is another person, and their life has been destroyed just | :04:23. | :04:28. | |
as much as yours. At that point, I had some questions and I thought I | :04:29. | :04:31. | |
could use it as a deterrent for people so they can see the impact of | :04:32. | :04:35. | |
using mobile phones can be traumatic. We saw he did apologise. | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
Did it make you feel as you wanted to feel? I think it answered some | :04:45. | :04:51. | |
questions I had, for the puzzle I had the pieces that needed to be fit | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
in. The hows and whys were answered. But for me, the main purpose of the | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
meeting was to highlight to the rest of the nation that picking up your | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
mobile phone behind a wheel can not only impact those that are left | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
behind but also the person that May has caused the accident in the first | :05:10. | :05:11. | |
place. In a few days the penalty | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
for being caught using your mobile phone while driving will increase | :05:15. | :05:17. | |
to ?200 and six points. I'm emotionally charged about this | :05:18. | :05:29. | |
because I've been involved. I don't think it's enough, if you can drive | :05:30. | :05:32. | |
a car and afford a mobile phone there should be something harsher in | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
place, whether it is ?1000 or some form of awareness course, just to | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
open people's eyes really to what can happen. We treat drinking and | :05:42. | :05:46. | |
drugs in exactly the same way, so why can't we now introduced the use | :05:47. | :05:49. | |
of mobile phones behind the wheel as a matter deterrent? I think we all | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
have a mobile and we all drive. What do you do when you're in the car and | :05:56. | :06:01. | |
you have your mobile with you? My phone is in my bride, in the boot. I | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
will not touch it, if it makes a sound I know it is there at the end | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
of the day. What is your hope? What do you hope to get out of this? I | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
would like to see this be introduced into schools, I think if we can | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
introduce it like we have with sex education and drugs and alcohol etc, | :06:21. | :06:24. | |
with an personal development days, opening up the younger generation to | :06:25. | :06:27. | |
the impact and hopefully it will filter through up into the older | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
generations. The bubble, not the norm to pick up your phone behind | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
the wheel. Meg, think you for joining us. What a powerful | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
interview. Certainly makes you think. | :06:44. | :06:45. | |
Police divers searching for a missing Bristol man have found | :06:46. | :06:53. | |
26-year-old Lewis Ball hadn't been seen since the 5th of February, | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
The police say that the body has yet to be formally identified, | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
but that Lewis' family have been told. | :07:03. | :07:04. | |
Searches have resumed today at the former home of the convicted | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
Specialist police officers began investigating the gardens | :07:08. | :07:09. | |
and garages of two properties in Broad Street last week. | :07:10. | :07:12. | |
Halliwell is serving a "whole life" sentence after killing Becky Godden | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
The family of a man found dead in Thailand say they want answers | :07:16. | :07:22. | |
Andrew Apperley from Gloucestershire was last seen on a tourist island. | :07:23. | :07:29. | |
His brother says he sent several messages before he died suggesting | :07:30. | :07:32. | |
38-year-old Andrew Apperley was an experienced traveller. | :07:33. | :07:40. | |
His death after a beach party in Thailand has | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
My mum lost her husband three and 1/2 years ago, | :07:44. | :07:52. | |
It's literally just me and her left now. | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
It's created a big loss in our life, and he leaves | :07:57. | :08:00. | |
Brought up in Gloucestershire, Andrew Apperley was | :08:01. | :08:03. | |
He flew to Bangkok in early February before travelling on to the resort | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
On February 12th he headed for a party on the nearby | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
His body was found last Tuesday, four days after | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
His brothers found a series of texts messages sent by Andrew | :08:20. | :08:25. | |
to friends on February 13th, including one talking of "guys | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
wanting to kill me" and mention of a scary guy with a face mask. | :08:30. | :08:34. | |
His brother suspects foul play, and is demanding answers | :08:35. | :08:37. | |
I've got to investigate as a brother. | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
I can't sleep at night, I've been up sat at the computer for days. | :08:44. | :08:46. | |
Days and days, running a social media campaign. | :08:47. | :08:49. | |
I'm not going to go away, the campaign is getting larger. | :08:50. | :08:51. | |
The amount of hits I'm getting every day, and messages, | :08:52. | :08:54. | |
This is not going to go away, they need to deal with this. | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
The Foreign Office and Gloicesterhsire Police | :09:00. | :09:01. | |
are supporting the family as the Thai authorities investigate. | :09:02. | :09:04. | |
The family is considering flying out to Thailand, frustrated that | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
so little has been said to them almost a week since | :09:10. | :09:11. | |

Still to come: A step towards the great escape. | :09:26. | :09:32. | |
There's plenty still to come. A step towards the great Estates. -- | :09:33. | :09:41. | |
escape. Can Bristol Rugby avoid | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
relegation after beating Bath? tracing the lives | :09:44. | :09:44. | |
of those who fought The hit TV show Broadchurch is back | :09:45. | :09:47. | |
on our screens tonight And if you're a keen viewer, | :09:48. | :10:04. | |
you'll know that parts of the programme are filmed | :10:05. | :10:07. | |
in and around North Somerset - This time, though, the series has | :10:08. | :10:10. | |
another, more serious connection with the West, | :10:11. | :10:13. | |
as Laura Jones explains. Over the years it's been | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
the backdrop to numerous films, adverts and even pop videos, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
most recently to the fictional hit detective programme Broadchurch, | :10:25. | :10:27. | |
which is mainly filmed in Dorset. This time, though, this place isn't | :10:28. | :10:29. | |
the West's only connection As always the series deals with some | :10:30. | :10:32. | |
pretty difficult themes, so when producers wanted advice | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
they came to a local charity. My name's Ellie, I'm | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
a detective with Wessex Police. We will find the man | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
who attacked you. This time the storyline focuses | :10:43. | :10:53. | |
on a rape investigation, something that producers realised | :10:54. | :10:56. | |
was going to be difficult So they took advice | :10:57. | :10:58. | |
from the experts, including those working here at Sarsas, | :10:59. | :11:09. | |
the Somerset and Avon rape So the impact of somebody watching | :11:10. | :11:11. | |
a TV drama about rape, which is so visual, can have such | :11:12. | :11:22. | |
a big impact on their body as well as on memories, | :11:23. | :11:25. | |
you know, things coming back to them that they may have tried | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
to repress for a long time. But it's also their body that can | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
react, because trauma is often held in the body, | :11:32. | :11:33. | |
so things like people being sick, having watched something, | :11:34. | :11:39. | |
because the memory of what's happened to them has come forward | :11:40. | :11:41. | |
so strongly in their minds. Every year Sarsas helps | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
thousands of survivors of rape and sexual assault, | :11:47. | :11:48. | |
but money is tight. As a result of the charity's | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
involvement, the programme's producers are going to help fund | :11:51. | :11:56. | |
a national rape-crisis helpline, which would normally only be staffed | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
for a few hours a day. Meaning anybody affected | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
by what goes on in this seaside Could green-belt land be | :12:04. | :12:05. | |
the answer to the West's A think tank called | :12:06. | :12:18. | |
the Centre for Cities admits it's controversial - | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
but it wants the area's new Metro Mayor to consider building | :12:23. | :12:25. | |
homes on green fields. Housing will be one | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
of the Metro Mayor's key responsibilities | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
when he or she is elected in May. House prices soared | :12:32. | :12:33. | |
10% last year alone. But is it pricing people out | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
of living here altogether? She used to work part-time | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
for the council. A sharp rise in rents means she can | :12:47. | :12:50. | |
no longer afford to make ends meet, It's a real bad divide | :12:51. | :12:58. | |
between people who were able to buy, you know, a couple of decades ago, | :12:59. | :13:07. | |
and people who now can't afford to buy and they're | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
priced out of renting. And there isn't enough | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
social housing either. The four local councils | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
have all pledged to up They're aiming for another 85,000 | :13:19. | :13:20. | |
in the next 20 years. It's the equivalent of building two | :13:21. | :13:26. | |
cities the size of Bath. But a new report says even that | :13:27. | :13:29. | |
doesn't come close and it's time to start thinking what some say | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
is unthinkable and build We think it has to be one | :13:33. | :13:35. | |
of the options on the table. Actually, the West of England | :13:36. | :13:40. | |
is quite unusual that much of the brownfield land | :13:41. | :13:43. | |
that is available is quite small So about 4300 houses could be | :13:44. | :13:45. | |
built on brownfield land. Clearly that's nowhere | :13:46. | :13:51. | |
near what's needed. She thinks building on the green | :13:52. | :13:55. | |
belt should be considered, as it takes up half | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
of South Gloucestershire and over two thirds of Bath | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
and North East Somerset. And it's not always | :14:00. | :14:02. | |
glorious rolling hills. A lot of green-belt land | :14:03. | :14:04. | |
is low landscape value, it's not a high-quality | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
environmental value, but because it's called green belt | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
politicians really run scared of it. We were looking at the maps | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
on the walls, and Mary's house was under a warehouse, | :14:17. | :14:19. | |
and my farm was completely Any talk of building | :14:20. | :14:21. | |
on protected land, though, All this, every bit of green you can | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
see before your eyes is green belt. Farmer Jill Britton and her | :14:26. | :14:33. | |
neighbour Mary Walsh have fought off developers from Whitchurch, | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
south of Bristol, before. With 3500 homes in the planning | :14:37. | :14:41. | |
pipeline, they're preparing Well, if they want to label | :14:42. | :14:43. | |
me a Nimby, so be it. I can cope with it, I've | :14:44. | :14:49. | |
got broad shoulders. But I love my farm and I want | :14:50. | :14:52. | |
it to stay as a farm. We've been told we're Lambys, | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
looking after my backyard. Nimbys, Lambys - | :14:57. | :14:58. | |
whatever the terminology, the debate is set to hot up, | :14:59. | :15:06. | |
as pressure grows on the Metro Mayor elected in May to put house building | :15:07. | :15:12. | |
at the top of the to-do list. If you are not quite sure what the | :15:13. | :15:27. | |
Metro Mayor is, don't worry we are planning a special programme and all | :15:28. | :15:31. | |
will be explained. Bristol Rugby's "great escape" | :15:32. | :15:33. | |
from relegation is back on, after they narrowly beat | :15:34. | :15:35. | |
local rivals Bath. They're still bottom | :15:36. | :15:37. | |
of the Premiership but are now just two points behind Worcester, | :15:38. | :15:39. | |
who they play this coming weekend. In the context of Bristol's | :15:40. | :15:42. | |
Premiership survival, As a rivalry it's been rather | :15:43. | :15:44. | |
one-sided in recent years. This was Bristol's first win in over | :15:45. | :15:50. | |
a decade against their nearest Shivering with cold, shaking | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
with excitement, but just great. We made a few errors, | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
I think, unfortunately, but I think at the end of the day | :16:03. | :16:05. | |
Bristol deserved that. I hate to say it but | :16:06. | :16:08. | |
the better team won the day. Bristol had been badly beaten | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
in their previous two games. Bath were missing 18 players | :16:14. | :16:16. | |
to injury, suspension But this was Gavin Henson's day - | :16:17. | :16:18. | |
the former Wales international making his first start for Bristol | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
in four months after injury. Now 35, he controlled | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
the game for the home side, scoring all of their points | :16:33. | :16:38. | |
as they built up a 12-6 lead. That work was almost | :16:39. | :16:41. | |
undone by one sloppy pass. Semesa Rokodoguni may | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
not be able to break into the England side at the moment, | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
but at club level he's lethal. The conversion would have | :16:50. | :16:52. | |
nudged Bath in front. Bristol hung on for the remaining 12 | :16:53. | :16:56. | |
minutes to secure a vital win. A lot of people have been writing us | :16:57. | :17:07. | |
off but I think it showed today that the 23 involved don't believe | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
that and they're going It's been a tough year and I'm not | :17:12. | :17:13. | |
the best with injuries, I feel pretty guilty about it, | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
I haven't done much for the club, so I felt like I owed a big | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
performance, especially against our rivals, | :17:23. | :17:24. | |
and where we are in the league, Everyone's lost a few players | :17:25. | :17:26. | |
and we've got a very deep squad and we've got a lot of very good | :17:27. | :17:33. | |
players so we're not in a position For Bath a golden chance | :17:34. | :17:37. | |
missed to strengthen But increasing the likelihood | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
of these two sides meeting And that wasn't the only | :17:42. | :17:44. | |
close finish to a game Bristol Flyers basketball team | :17:45. | :17:50. | |
were trailing 72-70 in the final seconds when Brandon Boggs scored | :17:51. | :17:59. | |
this amazing three-point shot to win the match against London Lions | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
right on the buzzer. A hundred years on from | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
the First World War, we have been paying tribute | :18:06. | :18:14. | |
to the thousands of men who left the West Country | :18:15. | :18:17. | |
for the horrors of the trenches. Among them was this man - | :18:18. | :18:22. | |
he's my grandfather, George - but like most of his generation | :18:23. | :18:26. | |
he never talked about the war and I didn't have a clue | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
about what happened to him. That was until I inherited | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
a biscuit tin, filled with his old documents that | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
provided some clues. Inside Out West asked | :18:37. | :18:38. | |
historian Jeremy Banning Here's a clip from | :18:39. | :18:40. | |
tonight's programme. This is Lancashire Cottage Cemetery | :18:41. | :18:51. | |
in Plug Street, and we're probably a distance of 400 metres behind | :18:52. | :18:54. | |
the front line. So this is where your grandfather | :18:55. | :18:58. | |
George was from April 1915 It's a long way from | :18:59. | :19:01. | |
Bristol, isn't it? Here we have some of | :19:02. | :19:04. | |
the Gloucestershire Regiment. Now, these are men of your | :19:05. | :19:11. | |
grandfather's battalion. And I want to talk about | :19:12. | :19:13. | |
this young man here. What I have here is the battalion | :19:14. | :19:23. | |
war diary, and each unit kept a diary of what happened | :19:24. | :19:31. | |
on a day-to-day basis. "Two rifle grenades fell | :19:32. | :19:33. | |
in A Company's trenches. Result, six men of A Company | :19:34. | :19:35. | |
wounded, private OH Badman I would say that your grandfather | :19:36. | :19:37. | |
would have certainly known him. He lived on a street | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
called Alma Street. About 200 yards from | :19:42. | :19:43. | |
where your grandfather lived. Who knows, he might well have seen | :19:44. | :19:45. | |
this young lad playing down Bristol's a small place now, | :19:46. | :19:48. | |
so back 100 years ago it was much more small, | :19:49. | :19:57. | |
wasn't it, and, yeah, they'd have known each | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
other, for sure. He may well have even | :20:02. | :20:03. | |
attended his funeral here as well. As he was lowered into | :20:04. | :20:06. | |
the ground in a blanket. So having been a Saturday soldier | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
at home, this is really where it goes from being a game | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
to being reality. Well, I'm pleased to say | :20:16. | :20:21. | |
Jeremy has joined us Thank you for all of the work you | :20:22. | :20:32. | |
have put into researching this story, but how common was his | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
experience? It was interesting because he pretty much was a common | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
soldier, a territorial soldier, and what he went through millions of men | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
went through, that experience of leaving the country, going to | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
France, Belgium, and really it must have been like a completely alien | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
world, leaving Bristol, going into the trenches. We visited the site | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
where they went to the trenches and we can't imagine what it must have | :21:01. | :21:04. | |
been like. So many men would have gone through a similar experience. I | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
can't remember him ever talking about it, he died when I was about | :21:09. | :21:13. | |
17. Was that common for people of that generation? I think so. So many | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
clients I speak to say, I wish I could have spoken to grandfather, or | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
great uncle. The problem was, who on earth you hadn't been there could | :21:25. | :21:28. | |
relate to what they went through? When they did open up it was | :21:29. | :21:33. | |
probably at regimental reunions or Inbee Park with friends who had | :21:34. | :21:37. | |
served, but otherwise how could you explain to somebody who hadn't been | :21:38. | :21:47. | |
there? -- or in the pub. One thing I found out, which was quite a | :21:48. | :21:52. | |
surprise, looking through his stuff, was that his father was German and | :21:53. | :21:57. | |
yet he didn't have much time for the Germans. He didn't. Your family come | :21:58. | :22:06. | |
from Bavaria and some interesting history there. Many men with German | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
heritage ended up fighting for the British army against what had been | :22:12. | :22:13. | |
their country of birth. It is interesting. Paps that is why I like | :22:14. | :22:23. | |
order. -- perhaps. I am rather proud to have German blood in me but I had | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
no idea. Grandpa also had these medals. Is there anything | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
particularly unusual about these? I will hold them up so you can see. | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
Most people would have got those automatically. The three on the | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
right-hand side, this is the 1914-15 Star, so this indicated he went | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
overseas in 1915. Then we have a war medal and the victory medal as well. | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
They were given out at the end of the war, over 6 million were issued. | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
The one on the left is intriguing because it marks him out as | :23:02. | :23:05. | |
something rather special. That is the military medal, and if you look | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
on the back you can read the words. I have my glasses actually. | :23:12. | :23:18. | |
Jeremy, you might find that the subject sometimes might get rather | :23:19. | :23:21. | |
drive. Didn't make a difference bring it alive the David and seeing | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
his reaction? A huge difference. Otherwise it is words on a page. | :23:27. | :23:32. | |
When you take somebody there and have that direct link, when we stood | :23:33. | :23:35. | |
in the spot where George was 100 years ago, it is a real link, | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
because otherwise it doesn't have that link. Visiting the battlefields | :23:42. | :23:44. | |
is sort of a special moment. The medal says bravery in the field, so | :23:45. | :23:50. | |
I am very proud of him. He was just one of hundreds of thousands of | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
distal men, so as we tell his story we hope to tell everybody's story. | :23:57. | :23:58. | |
-- Bristol men. And you can see more on this - | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
and find out how I got on following in my grandfather's | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
footsteps - on Inside Out West Many people take pride in collecting | :24:06. | :24:08. | |
things, be it stamps, A man in Swindon has been collecting | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
them since he was three. Steve Cook now owns 300 of them, | :24:12. | :24:19. | |
most of which are in working order. They don't all fit in his | :24:20. | :24:22. | |
one-bedroom flat, so he also has to rent a nearby garage | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
to store them. He must have the cleanest apartment | :24:26. | :24:37. | |
in the West Country. Which one should I use today? | :24:38. | :24:43. | |
Let's catch up with the weather now. Good evening. I have been roly handy | :24:44. | :24:49. | |
as the radar suggests more showers are gathering not far from pistol. | :24:50. | :24:56. | |
-- I have the brolly handy. It will be fairly chilly tomorrow, turning | :24:57. | :25:00. | |
windy through the afternoon and into the evening. The morning looks | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
largely dry, possibly completely dry for many of you. The afternoon will | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
bring the increasing threat of shower readout breaks. We have the | :25:10. | :25:17. | |
Met Office warning for icy stretches on untreated roads and pavement | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
through this evening, tonight and into tomorrow. That tells you | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
something about the coldness of the air we will be experiencing my | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
courtesy of low pressure to the north of us, dragging colder air to | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
the British Isles, bringing a mixture of showers, hail, sleet and | :25:37. | :25:42. | |
even snow at low levels. As we head through this evening a number of | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
showers around, Western areas especially prone through this | :25:49. | :25:53. | |
evening and overnight. You can see a wintry mix, hail, sleet and possibly | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
small accumulations of snow. Underpinning that will be a cold | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
night, temperatures getting ready close to freezing, perhaps a degree | :26:03. | :26:13. | |
or two are low in one or two areas. Tomorrow -- a degree or two below. | :26:14. | :26:22. | |
Tomorrow afternoon as we run into this area of predominantly showery | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
rain, a bit of a wintry mix in places, there will be pockets of | :26:28. | :26:30. | |
brighter weather punctuated by the threat at least some areas of | :26:31. | :26:35. | |
further showers. The wind speeds were increasing through the | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
afternoon and the evening and that will give another level of coldness | :26:39. | :26:43. | |
to the feel of things, with temperatures sitting around six to | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
eight Celsius anyway. Looking beyond that into Wednesday it will be a dry | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
start to the day, another band of rain moving up from the south, this | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
time through the course of the afternoon. To the west of us a | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
sequence of further areas of low pressure, a lot of uncertainties | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
with that tied in to have elements from the US, which could have | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
tornadoes, which will have knock our weather. | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
We have to go, I have two vacuum, you will do the dusting. | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
We have to get ready for pancake day tomorrow. | :27:28. | :27:29. | |
Thank you for watching. To be in the Lords, | :27:30. | :27:55. | |
you have to be punctual... literally have to slam | :27:56. | :27:57. | |
the door in somebody's face. What right do they have | :27:58. | :28:01. | |
to tell ME about my fashion sense. Can you now control your | :28:02. | :28:06. | |
bad language? Yes, I will. Otherwise you'll be, | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
you know, drummed out. | :28:12. | :28:15. |
