Welcome to BBC Points West with Amanda Parr and David Garmston. | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Plans to expand the shopping centre are put on hold after furious | :00:07. | :00:12. | |
Local shops fear they will go out of business if the plans are approved. | :00:13. | :00:28. | |
Our other headlines tonight: An amazing recovery - | :00:29. | :00:30. | |
the Bristol Royal Infirmary leaps from "needing improvement" | :00:31. | :00:32. | |
One in four students are suffering from stress, | :00:33. | :00:41. | |
depression and other mental health problems. | :00:42. | :00:44. | |
And the story of a playground that's been turned into a play. | :00:45. | :00:57. | |
There's to be a public inquiry about plans to extend one | :00:58. | :01:02. | |
of the region's biggest shopping centres at Cribbs Causeway. | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
The proposals would increase its size by 50%. | :01:05. | :01:06. | |
Planning permission was granted in November but the scheme | :01:07. | :01:08. | |
is now to be reviewed by the Secretary of State. | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
It's nearly 20 years old now and it's trying | :01:12. | :01:22. | |
to maintain its position as the leading shopping | :01:23. | :01:24. | |
That is a position it would dearly like to hold onto. | :01:25. | :01:34. | |
And to do that, it's trying to expand - no mini expansion. | :01:35. | :01:37. | |
It wants to grow by 50% to include a hotel, flats, and, | :01:38. | :01:40. | |
But it's no longer in the hands of the local council to decide. | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
It's the government who will now make the final decision. | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
When neighbours go to war, it can get ugly. | :01:51. | :01:52. | |
And shopping centres are no exception. | :01:53. | :01:54. | |
Last November, South Gloucestershire Council approved a ?300 million | :01:55. | :01:56. | |
expansion of the Mall at Cribbs Causeway. | :01:57. | :01:58. | |
The developers said it would create 3000 jobs. | :01:59. | :02:01. | |
In response, Cabot Circus Shopping Centre in Bristol said it | :02:02. | :02:03. | |
And high streets up and down the West joined | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
We all only have so much money in our pocket. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
I think what we need to do is look at the potential impact on not just | :02:18. | :02:20. | |
Bristol city centre, but the likes of Taunton, | :02:21. | :02:22. | |
Exeter, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Swindon, | :02:23. | :02:23. | |
I think all of those will see some impact. | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
The Weston-Super-Mare, MP John Penrose, seen | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
here opening the Mall in 1998, wrote to the government, | :02:36. | :02:38. | |
saying an expanded Cribbs would cost Weston ?39 million in lost | :02:39. | :02:40. | |
He's delighted there's now to be a public inquiry | :02:41. | :02:43. | |
Weston-Super-Mare's economic rebirth is underway. | :02:44. | :02:48. | |
We are making huge progress, lots and lots of new jobs | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
I do not want something like this to strangle it. | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
You cannot have Cribbs Causeway eating up all the other local shops. | :02:56. | :02:58. | |
His constituents, though, don't see things in such | :02:59. | :03:00. | |
For me, if I was doing shopping in a number of shops, | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
probably Cribbs Causeway would attract me because | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
Weston-Super-Mare is quite a small town and where you do not have a lot | :03:10. | :03:16. | |
of brands that we can really work off. | :03:17. | :03:18. | |
Especially people around our age, we are definitely discovering more | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
brands, so we want to go ahead and buy those. | :03:22. | :03:23. | |
South Gloucestershire Council says it's extremely disappointed | :03:24. | :03:26. | |
But it is still confident the plans will be approved. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
It believes an expanded Cribbs would be a good thing | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
There is no doubt this is a regional shopping destination. Earlier I did | :03:34. | :03:49. | |
a survey of my own. I spoke to 40 people at Cribbs Causeway and ask | :03:50. | :03:52. | |
them how far they had travelled to the shopping centre today. | :03:53. | :03:56. | |
Interesting results. 19 were either from Bristol or South | :03:57. | :03:59. | |
Gloucestershire but the remaining 21 were from much further afield, | :04:00. | :04:05. | |
Gloucestershire, Wiltshire, North Somerset, even parts of Devon. That | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
is something the planning inspector will have to balance. The wider | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
significance of Cribbs Causeway against the individual needs of high | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
street up and down the West Country. Interesting, Alice Bouverie, thank | :04:17. | :04:17. | |
you for that. Bristol's main teaching hospital has | :04:18. | :04:21. | |
become the first trust in England to leap from "requires improvement" | :04:22. | :04:23. | |
to being rated as "outstanding". In just two years, the trust, | :04:24. | :04:26. | |
which includes the Bristol Royal Infirmary and seven other hospitals, | :04:27. | :04:28. | |
has tackled overcrowding in A and improved the number of staff | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
available for operations. Our health correspondent | :04:33. | :04:34. | |
Matthew Hill has been finding out Transferring very sick patients | :04:35. | :04:36. | |
into A and keeping tabs on just A few years ago, potentially | :04:37. | :04:43. | |
life-threatening symptoms Staff have to take measurements | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
within hourly targets to identify In particular, they're looking | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
for conditions such as sepsis, And it's the success of this scheme | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
which has been highlighted So successful that it's been | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
rolled out to all other We have saved lives, | :05:09. | :05:15. | |
we have had no incidents reported with failure to recognise | :05:16. | :05:19. | |
deterioration as one of the causes. And we have really raised the level | :05:20. | :05:23. | |
of care that we provide to all of our patients, | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
particularly during theatres has also contributed | :05:27. | :05:29. | |
to today's "outstanding" rating. That includes identifying | :05:30. | :05:37. | |
so-called "golden patients" - who are often the most complicated | :05:38. | :05:38. | |
cases - to be the first We have looked a lot into efficiency | :05:39. | :05:41. | |
and how we can get as much done We have rolled out golden cases | :05:42. | :05:49. | |
over the last few years, so it identifies procedures | :05:50. | :05:53. | |
and patients that we can crack We have made sure that we have | :05:54. | :05:55. | |
all of the kit available, the bed available, so that helps | :05:56. | :06:00. | |
getting the flow We found a trust with stable | :06:01. | :06:02. | |
leadership, who have really put the patient at the heart | :06:03. | :06:06. | |
of all they do. They have invested in their staff | :06:07. | :06:08. | |
to develop and given staff And the outcomes for treatment | :06:09. | :06:11. | |
at these hospitals now As part of today's report, | :06:12. | :06:15. | |
the CQC also looked into the trust's In fact, it is one of just a handful | :06:16. | :06:23. | |
in the country to be in surplus. So how has it managed | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
to achieve that? Well, it has managed to invest | :06:31. | :06:32. | |
in expansion like this ?92 million redevelopment without having | :06:33. | :06:35. | |
to resort to private finance. The thousands raised by charitable | :06:36. | :06:39. | |
appeals have helped build the children's hospital - | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
a vital injection of cash when it And with ever growing patient | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
demand, this is one trust which is now setting an example | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
to other hospitals. Matthew Hill, BBC | :06:53. | :06:54. | |
Points West, Bristol. With us in the studio is the man | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
in charge, Robert Woolley. Normally you come in to talk to us | :07:02. | :07:04. | |
when the news isn't so good - black alerts, problems | :07:05. | :07:09. | |
with children's heart surgery, lack of beds etc - | :07:10. | :07:10. | |
you must be delighted I am delighted, David. When I have | :07:11. | :07:19. | |
been here apologising for the mistakes we have made I have | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
committed to burn. What is great about the report today is that | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
learning is shown to have been happening and is delivering real | :07:28. | :07:31. | |
benefit for patients. That is credit to the 9000 staff, the 300 | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
volunteers, all of our charity supporters, academic partners, who | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
wants to deliver not just good clinical care, but actually care | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
what real kindness and compassion. We call that treating strangers as | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
if they were family or friends. Were you surprised by this outstanding | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
rating? I was delighted. I know that the care is good but I know there | :07:55. | :07:58. | |
are other areas where we must improve. We have put an awful lot of | :07:59. | :08:02. | |
hard work into this to make sure the vision and strategy for the trust is | :08:03. | :08:07. | |
clear to staff, to make sure the values are meaningful and influence | :08:08. | :08:10. | |
to be that we think and talk, to put a real focus on the safety of | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
patients and managing risk. But the decision that we took, I and other | :08:16. | :08:19. | |
senior leaders, was to stop and attend to the experience of our | :08:20. | :08:23. | |
staff, to spend more time listening to their concerns, there are | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
suggestions for improvement, and what is brilliant is that we have | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
unleashed this passion and innovation right across the | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
organisation. It was not an Oscars moment, did you wonder if the | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
envelopes had got switched? Mercifully not. | :08:39. | :08:40. | |
The last time we spoke, we talked about bed blocking - | :08:41. | :08:42. | |
specifically 89-year-old Iris who was in the BRI for five months | :08:43. | :08:45. | |
Are you getting better support from the community now? | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
It is a continuing challenge. The one area that the CQC found the | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
required improvement was about managing the flow of emergency | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
patients to the hospital and the impact of that on the emergency | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
department, particularly at the BRI. They saw that we are keeping | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
patients safe, I must add that. But we have tried again to be | :09:16. | :09:19. | |
innovative, we established what we call a virtual hospital ward model, | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
so an adult patient that is about to be admitted to a hospital bed, we | :09:23. | :09:26. | |
ask them if they prefer to receive the same care in the comfort of | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
their own bed at home. Briefly, you have not been lumbered with PFIs, | :09:33. | :09:36. | |
how important has that been? We have been very careful to manage the | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
money as best we can, so when looking to rebuild, as Matthew said, | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
we went for cheap Public Works Loans Board that has meant we know exactly | :09:48. | :09:53. | |
that we can meet the repayments. OK. That is great news and we do pass on | :09:54. | :09:57. | |
our congratulations to the people who work so hard in your | :09:58. | :09:58. | |
organisation. Thank you very much. So one of our hospital trusts | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
is celebrating its success today, but what's the picture around | :10:04. | :10:05. | |
the rest of the West? Well, it's not such a positive story | :10:06. | :10:09. | |
for our other hospitals. Only one other in our region has | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
been given a good rating - that's Taunton and Somerset NHS | :10:13. | :10:15. | |
Foundation Trust. If you're a patient in Yeovil, | :10:16. | :10:17. | |
Gloucestershire, Bath, Weston, Southmead or Swindon, | :10:18. | :10:19. | |
your hospital trust That's the same rating as the BRI | :10:20. | :10:20. | |
was given two years ago. It's lovely to have your | :10:21. | :10:33. | |
company this evening. Amanda and David with | :10:34. | :10:38. | |

exciting times of your life, but for some, starting university | :10:52. | :11:09. | |
can be a struggle. Worryingly, one in four students | :11:10. | :11:11. | |

- especially young Our home affairs correspondent | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
Charlotte Callen reports. You just feel completely worthless | :11:20. | :11:25. | |
and hopeless and I can understand if you haven't been there it can be | :11:26. | :11:28. | |
quite hard to empathise. Grace has no scars to show the pain | :11:29. | :11:33. | |
she's been through... There was no sticking plaster, | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
no operation to make her better. She's had mental heath problems | :11:38. | :11:43. | |
since the age of 13. I had anorexia, so I got quite | :11:44. | :11:48. | |
physically unhealthy. In terms of my low mood, | :11:49. | :11:57. | |
I had periods when I was suicidal, Grace got a degree and now works | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
with a Bristol charity which helped her to cope | :12:04. | :12:11. | |
during the bad times, One in four students | :12:12. | :12:13. | |
at Bristol University said they had With 22,000 students, | :12:14. | :12:18. | |
that means as many as 5,500 will have mental heath needs at some | :12:19. | :12:27. | |
point during their studies. That's a picture | :12:28. | :12:30. | |
reflected nationally. Our young people are under enormous | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
pressure to succeed. Some of that is academic pressure, | :12:36. | :12:37. | |
and then, of course, there is the pressures on social | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
media to look and Add to that the extra tuition fees | :12:42. | :12:43. | |
they have to pay and the fact that grants are being slashed, | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
and you have the perfect storm. It is important that we reach | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
all students with support, and that means making sure that | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
whether it is through the personal tutoring system or through | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
residential pastoral staff that students, all students, understand | :13:01. | :13:02. | |
where they can access support. Bristol is one of only two | :13:03. | :13:07. | |
universities in the country to have Since the start of the academic | :13:08. | :13:11. | |
year, there have been So they're investing an extra | :13:12. | :13:17. | |
?1 million to support students. But with NHS budgets stretched | :13:18. | :13:23. | |
and so much pressure on mental health services, | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
it's charities like the one which helped Grace that are often | :13:27. | :13:28. | |

at Lockleaze in Bristol which has been inspiring young people | :14:43. | :14:56. | |
since the 70s. It was and still is affectionately | :14:57. | :14:57. | |
known as "The Vench". And now it's the subject | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
of a brand-new musical playing Written by Bafta-winning | :15:01. | :15:02. | |
Bristolian Jack Thorne, it tells the tale of the beginnings | :15:03. | :15:05. | |
of The Vench, which Jack's It took quite a hunt through the | :15:06. | :15:23. | |

basement, we found these pictures. The original 1970s The Vench. Made | :15:27. | :15:34. | |
by the children, for the children, a place to go and the place to grow. | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
Rough and ready, making use of old junk, the story of its creation is | :15:40. | :15:45. | |
now being told and son at the Bristol old Vic. Acclaimed Bristol | :15:46. | :15:55. | |
writer Jack Thorne watched his father Mike helped to build The | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
Vench, a source of real pride. Then... And now... I think the thing | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
that I admire about what they did then and what still happens now is | :16:08. | :16:14. | |
that it was a form of outrage that reached out and managed to get | :16:15. | :16:17. | |
children that were not caught anywhere else. These were children | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
that the school system did not they have place for. And at the | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
playground, they found a place for them. The most difficult children | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
from the school were the ones that came to the playground. They were | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
looking for the freedom from the tyranny of school and grown-ups and | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
parents. Some children would just ten hours and hours, after day | :16:42. | :16:48. | |
there, knocking the way at bits of wood and building stuff. And then | :16:49. | :16:52. | |
burning it down and rebuilding it. Last night, half of Loch Lees was | :16:53. | :16:55. | |
invited to see the show and it brought back memories. I grew up | :16:56. | :17:00. | |
there and I have been there since I was little and I can see people in | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
the characters, so it is nice. I used to work up there when the sub | :17:05. | :17:10. | |
was a child and we're going that is so and so, that is so and so. It is | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
wonderful, you laugh and cry. There are some really great strong | :17:16. | :17:22. | |
characters. The Vench is rather more polished these days, but is still | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
serving the community in its own special way. As new generations play | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
out the age old rituals, begun so enthusiastically more than 40 years | :17:32. | :17:39. | |
ago. Wonderful pictures. The play is not for the very young children, I | :17:40. | :17:45. | |
believe. Yes, there are some strong language, so be warned about that. | :17:46. | :17:46. | |
But it does look very good. People tending allotments in Bristol | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
say they're becoming increasingly The deer got stuck inside | :17:51. | :17:52. | |
the Stapleton Allotments after contractors working | :17:53. | :17:55. | |
on the nearby Metrobus route The deer, who were hiding | :17:56. | :17:57. | |
in the bushes from our camera crew today, have been there for almost | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
two months already. Although the allotment | :18:02. | :18:03. | |
keepers have named them, they're worried about the deer, | :18:04. | :18:05. | |
who they say won't leave because of the Metrobus building | :18:06. | :18:07. | |
work going on around them. Too scared to add the main gates | :18:08. | :18:21. | |
because all Lake Annecy is machinery and the smell and they are | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
frightened. We want them to be happy and I do not think they are happy | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
stuck in here. No one is going to be happy having all of their plants | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
eaten. They have a few of mine but I did not mind too much! | :18:35. | :18:47. | |
Metrobus bosses say allotment managers are responsible for | :18:48. | :18:48. | |
what happens within the allotments so Lord Ethelred and Lady Morgana | :18:49. | :18:51. | |
as they've been called, look set to stay. | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
A writer from Wiltshire, whose first book was snapped up | :18:57. | :18:59. | |
by the same publisher as J K Rowling, has | :19:00. | :19:01. | |
now been shortlisted for a prestigious book prize. | :19:02. | :19:03. | |
Laura James walked straight off a children's writing course | :19:04. | :19:05. | |
and into a three-book deal with one of the biggest publishers around. | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
Michelle Ruminski has been to meet her. | :19:09. | :19:10. | |
Inspired by the antics of her dogs Brian and Florence, | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Laura writes about the adventures of a dog called Pug. | :19:15. | :19:22. | |
And the first chapter, she said she was so funny to the housekeeper. I | :19:23. | :19:29. | |
always say that, you are so funny. The dogs are wagging at me and I | :19:30. | :19:37. | |
understand where it came from. She began writing the book several | :19:38. | :19:40. | |
years ago and it helped get her on the creative writing course. She | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
shelved the story sending another to several publishers, including | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Bloomsbury. We sent them a different manuscript and they said they really | :19:50. | :19:53. | |
liked it but they had something similar, anything else? Pug was the | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
manuscript I looked at on the course. And they said that they | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
really liked it. With an two years she has gone from being a volunteer | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
at the BAFTA children's literature festival to one of the authors on | :20:07. | :20:09. | |
the bill. It is really unusual, it is incredibly hard to go from writer | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
to author and although we hear about the publishing stories, you know, | :20:17. | :20:22. | |
99.9% of people are still trying to get that deal. Pug's Tommy was | :20:23. | :20:30. | |
rumbling. Wendy had beat some of delicious jam tarts. Now Laura is | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
sharing her success by helping pupils at this local primary school | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
write stories of their own. It was very imaginative and creative. I | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
really like the characters and the way that pug acted and the problem | :20:44. | :20:48. | |
is that he encountered. You do not expect a dog to be dressed up and he | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
does it a lot. There are lots of old-fashioned things that you do not | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
expect that you would not see walking down the street normally. | :21:00. | :21:02. | |
Laura has recently been short listed for the Waterstone's children's book | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
prize. Do you pinch yourself and feel like you are bidding begin? I | :21:08. | :21:11. | |
am and I am incredibly blessed and lucky and fortunate and I have been | :21:12. | :21:16. | |
very fortunate that I have met by the people and helped me on my | :21:17. | :21:19. | |
journey to be published and I could not be more grateful for that. It is | :21:20. | :21:25. | |
difficult to look back and think, gosh, how I actually got to where I | :21:26. | :21:29. | |
always wanted to be. Laura said she is still working on being a | :21:30. | :21:35. | |
full-time author. Captain Pod is about to be published in America and | :21:36. | :21:36. | |
Australia. And if you've got little ones | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
in the family, you don't need us Plenty of Harry Potters, | :21:45. | :21:52. | |
Where's Wallys and Worst Witches You've been sharing your snaps | :21:53. | :21:55. | |
with us and we've also been to Bannerman School | :21:56. | :21:59. | |
in Easton in Bristol. I am Buzz Lightyear, | :22:00. | :22:06. | |
to infinity and beyond! I am dressed up just looking | :22:07. | :22:30. | |
for Narnia because I like it. I am the roly-poly bear. Who are | :22:31. | :22:52. | |
you? Bob The Builder. Can you fix it? Yes. Well done. I am a Power | :22:53. | :23:01. | |
Ranger. I am reading, be quiet! That is the | :23:02. | :23:41. | |
whole point, great, what a creative bunch that you are. You will be | :23:42. | :23:45. | |
celebrating World Book Day tomorrow, so keep your photographs coming in. | :23:46. | :23:51. | |
And here in the West we have a grown-up who's made | :23:52. | :23:54. | |
a career out of dressing up as book character. | :23:55. | :23:56. | |
Visitors and residents of Bath will no doubt be familiar | :23:57. | :23:59. | |
He's welcomed visitors to the Jane Austen Centre | :24:00. | :24:02. | |
Today they marked the occasion by presenting him | :24:03. | :24:05. | |
Looks very good as well. It was certainly blustery weather today if | :24:06. | :24:16. | |
you were wearing a bonnet. It is likely to have been a one-off, is | :24:17. | :24:21. | |
that not correct, Ian? I would imagine so, yes. Let us take you | :24:22. | :24:25. | |
through the expectations for tomorrow. The emphasis is firmly | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
going to be on a fair amount of wet weather. More particularly through | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
the morning that that brain will be quite extensive across the region. | :24:34. | :24:36. | |
As we head into the afternoon it gets a little bit tricky in terms of | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
the balance between some drier phrases, so the rest of rain and | :24:42. | :24:47. | |
showers and it will never be too far away. It will persist for some | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
throughout the course of the day. Low pressure dominates the pattern | :24:52. | :24:53. | |
now through the remainder of this week. As we head into tomorrow, you | :24:54. | :24:57. | |
will see through first light comes the one front and that will bring | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
extensive rain. Through the afternoon and into the evening | :25:01. | :25:04. | |
period we have a cold front for the wing but this wavelike pattern and | :25:05. | :25:07. | |
that will deliver a punch in terms of some heavy shall remain where it | :25:08. | :25:10. | |
aligns itself of some heavy shall remain where it | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
aligns itself with the latter part of the day. Further eastwards, you | :25:16. | :25:18. | |
can see there are some dry weather to be had. Might be a fine margin, I | :25:19. | :25:21. | |
would suspect, between those wet conditions and something a bit | :25:22. | :25:23. | |
drier. A few showers around at the moment. They will tend to feed and | :25:24. | :25:27. | |
into the second half of the night that one front comes up and in comes | :25:28. | :25:31. | |
the rain, meaning by first light tomorrow into the commuting period | :25:32. | :25:34. | |
it looks like being a wet story, regardless of the direction you are | :25:35. | :25:46. | |
heading in. Temperatures tonight, probably five or six Celsius. The | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
rain will move northwards during the first part of the morning, then we | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
are into this trick your face in the lunchtime, were further eastwards | :25:53. | :25:54. | |
there is some more dry weather, converting towards the West but | :25:55. | :25:57. | |
uncertain positioning. Baykal front comes in delivering shall remain and | :25:58. | :25:59. | |
through the evening that could be fairly heavy, so there could be some | :26:00. | :26:03. | |
appreciable rainfall totals building up in a few spots where you have had | :26:04. | :26:07. | |
a succession of these periods of rain and later showers running | :26:08. | :26:10. | |
across to the blue because of the day. Despite that, it will be | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
comparatively mild tomorrow, 10 Celsius will be fairly typical. We | :26:15. | :26:18. | |
will find the rain peters out for the most part as we head overnight | :26:19. | :26:22. | |
and through to Saturday. Low-pressure close at hand on | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
Saturday but depending on the exact position and scope of that, we could | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
actually be in a bundle of some drier weather with some brighter | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
spells around. If you showers and outbreaks of rain perhaps in the | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
mix, but not too bad for Saturday, whereas on Sunday there is the | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
chance of wet weather at some stage for all of us, probably at least in | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
the first part of the day. Thank you, Ian. Thank you for joining us | :26:46. | :26:49. | |
this Thursday evening, it has been good to have you along with us. We | :26:50. | :26:54. | |
are off in search of David's bonnet. Yes, it went somewhere! Such a mess! | :26:55. | :27:00. | |
I will see you again at 10pm. Goodbye. | :27:01. | :27:03. |
