Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Natalie Graham. | :00:00. | :00:10. | |
Tonight's top stories. A lucky escape for the teenagers who | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
crashed a car into deep water but the residents near this accident | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
blackspot say next time someone could die. We're live in Hailsham | :00:16. | :00:24. | |
with the story. A political dogfight, how an | :00:24. | :00:27. | |
interview on Brighton seafront turned nasty. | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
Also in tonight's programme, after losing his railcard twice, the | :00:32. | :00:35. | |
commuter told he can't have another one costing him more than £2,000. I | :00:35. | :00:47. | |
have had to borrow money from my son 's first birthday party just to get | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
to work. The Kent grandmother planning on | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
running from Athens to Sparta and back again, more than 300 miles, | :00:52. | :01:01. | |
nonstop. Let's abandon the show! Who want to fight? | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
And whatever the news, Paul Merton is still funny. We'll be chatting | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
with him about his latest live shows here in the south east. | :01:09. | :01:18. | |
Good evening. The political row about the memoirs | :01:18. | :01:31. | |
of the ex—Labour party spin doctor Damian McBride escalated into a | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
physical fight on Brighton seafront this morning, when his publisher | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
tried to stop a protestor disrupting an interview. Best known as a | :01:40. | :01:42. | |
political blogger and commentator, Iain Dale, who lives in Tunbridge | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
campaigner Stuart Holmes managed to get a placard into shot during a | :01:45. | :01:47. | |
live interview. Ellie Price reports. A Kent | :01:47. | :01:55. | |
it is not something you see every day on Brighton seafront. It is not | :01:55. | :02:00. | |
something you see every day on breakfast television. Damian | :02:00. | :02:03. | |
McBride, Gordon Brown's former specialist adviser, being | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
interviewed about his new. Protester Stuart Holmes saw it as an | :02:08. | :02:14. | |
opportunity to waive his backyard on TV. But Mr McBride's publisher, | :02:14. | :02:16. | |
well—known political blogger Iain Mac —— Iain Dale, took it upon | :02:16. | :02:22. | |
themselves to stop him. He got hold of me like a bear hug, he is a big | :02:22. | :02:31. | |
guy. I managed to struggle free dog was jumping up and barking. Iain | :02:31. | :02:46. | |
Dale, who is publishing company was called by its pack, avoided | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
appearances on camera today. Instead he wrote on his blog. | :02:50. | :03:04. | |
It is not the first time Stuart Holmes has tried to make his mark on | :03:04. | :03:11. | |
the big stage. A veteran protester, he says he's destroyed to get his | :03:11. | :03:12. | |
message across. —— he says just trying to get his message | :03:12. | :03:21. | |
across. I think that professional television news reporters know that | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
the best way to handle it is to ignore those who are trying to make | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
a fuss. Usually it works, it can be very disruptive, but usually by | :03:29. | :03:33. | |
turning a blind eye and doing what you're doing, you can get the piece | :03:33. | :03:37. | |
you want. Politicians in conferences like this as well of their aides | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
will know that you cannot dictate the headlines. It is well understood | :03:44. | :03:47. | |
by the protester Stuart Holmes who says he will keep on trying along | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
with the help of his dog, Stuart. Later on in the programme we | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
with the help of his dog, Stuart. looking at how the Labour leader's | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
speech has gone down in Brighton. Kent commuter # Kent commuter says | :04:02. | :04:09. | |
he has been left thousands of pounds out of pocket after Southeast | :04:09. | :04:14. | |
refused to print his ticket out of pocket after Southeast | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
Rahim Shivji, whose annual season ticket from Gillingham to Tunbridge | :04:17. | :04:20. | |
Wells cost £2,500, says he's now having to use money he put aside for | :04:20. | :04:27. | |
his son's birthday to pay for his journey to work. Simon Jones | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
reports. Counting the cost. After coming to the aid of a disabled | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
women when he says station staff were nowhere | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
process, he lost his ticket but they say they will not get a replacement. | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
I think it's disgusting. I have got a family to support. I have had to | :04:43. | :04:48. | |
borrow money from son's first birthday party just to get to work. | :04:48. | :04:53. | |
His last annual season ticket had cost over two and a half thousand | :04:53. | :04:59. | |
pounds. He is paying £63 per week for a replacement. Weaning he will | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
end up paying an extra £1460 for the rest of the year. As this was the | :05:03. | :05:10. | |
second time he had lost the ticket, southeastern say a passenger is only | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
allowed one replacement ticket a year except in exceptional | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
circumstances such as if the replacement is stolen or destroyed | :05:17. | :05:22. | |
in a flood or fire. They are within their rights not to give out another | :05:22. | :05:27. | |
one. I think the main problem is that the technology is so | :05:27. | :05:35. | |
dedicated. It seems amazing that in 2013, you can spend £5,000 > | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
dedicated. It seems amazing that in 2013, you can spend £5,000 and all | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
you get in return is a tiny piece of cardboard. —— the technology is so | :05:41. | :05:43. | |
antiquated. I think the rules have to be followed. Some people would | :05:43. | :05:51. | |
say, if you lose ticket price, face the consequences. It is a bit of | :05:51. | :05:59. | |
cardboard. It is not even think —— thick enough to be cardboard. Even | :05:59. | :06:03. | |
when you lose the ticket you have to pay a charge to have it printed | :06:04. | :06:09. | |
again. I do not understand it. The watchdog is now investigating. I | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
think there is now room for discretion. In this case, the | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
operator should show some goodwill towards the passenger. And they | :06:17. | :06:21. | |
believe the passenger should be made much more aware of the consequences | :06:21. | :06:30. | |
of losing tickets. Simon Jones is at number 12 today. Is it right that | :06:30. | :06:32. | |
this was a company rule rather than the law? Southeastern say this is a | :06:32. | :06:39. | |
matter of policy, and it is a policy dictated by the government. It is | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
the Department of Transport who say this rule has to apply to all train | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
companies. The idea is to help in the fight against fraud. No one is | :06:48. | :06:56. | |
suggesting anything untoward in this case. Experts say in a situation | :06:56. | :07:00. | |
like this, common sense should prevail. The watchdog is taking up | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
this case and they believe they can get a positive outcome. | :07:05. | :07:12. | |
After nine crashes in their garden in 30 years, a Sussex homeowner | :07:12. | :07:14. | |
fears someone will die unless serious road safety measures are | :07:15. | :07:17. | |
taken. In the most recent incident four teenagers were lucky to escape | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
with their lives after their car ended up upside down in a pond. But | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
East Sussex County Council say budget restrictions mean crash | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
barriers and traffic calming measures for Ersham Road in Hailsham | :07:27. | :07:31. | |
aren't a priority. Lucinda Adam reports. | :07:31. | :07:42. | |
In eight feet of water, residents say it is a miracle that for teenage | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
boys escape from this car alive. It was very frightening until I counted | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
all four of them standing on the bank. It is terrifying, because that | :07:50. | :07:57. | |
water is very deep. They were young, fit and slim and they managed | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
to climb out. Out of the tiny window. If that had been an older | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
person, or a larger person, they would never have got out. If the | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
fence looks new, it looks like it has only been replaced and last —— | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
in the last month since the last crash. Nine cars have ended up here | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
in eight years. They say in stalling crash barriers is the only way to | :08:21. | :08:26. | |
prevent someone drowning. Every time someone goes into the pond, you rush | :08:26. | :08:29. | |
out and see whether they need help or assistance with your heart in | :08:29. | :08:33. | |
your mouth, and you think, if that person going to be dead as Mac will | :08:33. | :08:38. | |
they come out dead or alive? One day it will not be happy ending. You | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
look at the pond, see the car so he submerged, think again and let's | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
have a barrier before someone gets hurt. In a crash just metres along | :08:46. | :08:53. | |
Ersham Road, last month, one person died and five were injured. And a | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
13—year—old was killed here in 2007. The speed limit has been | :08:59. | :09:04. | |
reduced from 60 to 40 miles an hour but it is not having much effect. | :09:04. | :09:07. | |
The county council recently visited the road but in a better say they | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
have budget constraint so barriers are not up priority. We are lucky | :09:10. | :09:17. | |
that no one has been killed or injured there, but it is not a | :09:18. | :09:20. | |
reason for not doing something. We have got to look at the situation | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
and look at measures to prevent accidents happening in the future. | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
For Stella, it is another insurance claim and another major clean—up | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
operation. She fears the next crash could be a a tragedy on her doorstop | :09:34. | :09:41. | |
—— doorstep. It is understandable residents are worried after this | :09:42. | :09:47. | |
latest crash. It certainly is, you can see this tree that was pushed | :09:47. | :09:51. | |
over by the crash, that is the only thing which stopped the car being | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
submerged. This bank used to be lined with trees but crash after | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
crash has destroyed them and there is not much protection. Stella's | :09:57. | :10:05. | |
husband has now passed away and she fears the worst. It has six county | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
council say they will work with police to reveal the underlying | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
causes of this crash but they make no promises about installing any | :10:13. | :10:19. | |
barriers here. A man found guilty of murdering his | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
first wife, a woman from Kent, has begun an appeal. Malcolm Webster was | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
jailed for 30 years for murdering their Morris in Aberdeen share in | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
1994 in effect car crash. —— Claire Morris. In effect car crash. | :10:33. | :10:39. | |
Firefighters in Kent, Sussex and Surrey go on a four hour strike from | :10:39. | :10:43. | |
midday tomorrow in a dispute over pensions. It's the first national | :10:43. | :10:45. | |
strike for ten years. The government say the decision to walk—out is | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
unnecessary and avoidable, and called its decisions to pay full | :10:48. | :10:52. | |
pensions when they reach the age of 60 as generous. The fire services | :10:52. | :10:55. | |
say they have contingency plans in place to deal with emergencies. The | :10:55. | :11:04. | |
government are trying to make firefighters work until 60 years of | :11:04. | :11:09. | |
age, we think that is dangerous and wrong. The idea of having large | :11:10. | :11:17. | |
numbers of 16—year—olds going up ladders and rescuing people from | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
burning buildings is frightening. —— 60 years old. It is a much about | :11:21. | :11:28. | |
topics public safety than everything. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
Sussex Police say a 52—year—old man with paranoid schizophrenia, who's | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
been missing for more than a week could pose a danger to the public. | :11:34. | :11:37. | |
Officers are extremely concerned for the safety of David Hraboweckyj who | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
went missing from his home in St Leonards eight days ago. His family | :11:40. | :11:44. | |
say he's vulnerable. They've been putting up leaflets in the area, and | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
along with police are contacting homeless shelters as part of their | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
search. Babel has been —— David has been stable on his medication for 20 | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
years. He has been safe and secure in the sheltered home he has been | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
in. It is very out of character. David has not wondered for a long | :11:59. | :12:05. | |
time. Clearly, the family are very worried about him. Yes, they are | :12:05. | :12:14. | |
distraught as you would expect. They told me they have tried everything | :12:14. | :12:19. | |
in their power to track him down, they have leafleted his known haunts | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
and even set up a Facebook page in an attempt to track him down. The | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
source of their anxiety is the fact that he is a paranoid schizophrenic | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
and they fear he has not had medication for some eight days. They | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
have been in touch with local homeless shelters, they believe he | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
has friends in that network. In terms of his family, whether or not | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
he is a danger to the public, they would say in this story, here's the | :12:45. | :12:51. | |
vulnerable one. The top story tonight. The political | :12:51. | :12:57. | |
row about the memoirs of the ex—Labour party spin Doctor Damian | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
McNair Wright escalated into a physical fight on Brighton seafront | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
when his publisher tried to stop a protester destructing an interview. | :13:06. | :13:12. | |
Iain Dale 's tried to stop human —— Stuart Holmes from getting his | :13:12. | :13:16. | |
placard in the camera. The incredible grammar that an | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
athlete from Kent, her next challenge is running 153 miles | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
through Greece, nonstop, twice! We will be talking to Mimi Anderson | :13:24. | :13:29. | |
here in the studio. Coming up is news about my show, touring Kent, it | :13:29. | :13:39. | |
is very good. So I've been told. You can't trust anybody these days! | :13:40. | :13:45. | |
The Labour leader has delivered his key—note speech in Brighton pledging | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
to build a better Britain. He apprenticeships, a freeze on energy | :13:46. | :13:52. | |
prices as well as thousands of new homes. Our political editor Louise | :13:52. | :14:04. | |
Stewart is in Brighton. The speech went down very well, in | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
the conference hall here with Labour death —— Labour delegates. Ed | :14:08. | :14:13. | |
Miliband knew it was important, he spoke for over an hour, with no | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
notes, off—the—cuff and it was confident performance. His message | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
was that only Labour the squeeze on living standards and only they can | :14:23. | :14:29. | |
tackle it. Delegates cheering as Ed Miliband | :14:29. | :14:34. | |
takes to the stage in the conference centre in Brighton. Across the | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
city, we gathered our own panel to scrutinise the leader's speech. Ed | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
Miliband was determined to deliver a speech packed with policies. First | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
Miliband was determined to deliver a up was on extra childcare provision. | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
For so many parents in this country, the demands of the daily school run | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
combined with their job are like their very own daily assault course. | :14:54. | :14:59. | |
It is very good that he's talking about wraparound childcare, but I | :14:59. | :15:05. | |
wonder who is going to pay for it. It is a necessary thing from Earth | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
to school and beyond. I would like to see something in permitted but | :15:08. | :15:12. | |
someone will have to stump up the cash. He promised to tackle energy | :15:12. | :15:17. | |
prices for homes and businesses. If we win the election in 2015, the | :15:17. | :15:22. | |
next Labour government will freeze gas and electricity prices until the | :15:22. | :15:31. | |
start of 2017. The good news is an energy freeze will ease the cost of | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
living both struggling households and for businesses. If you are | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
paying for both, that freeze will be a good thing. He also had the young | :15:38. | :15:42. | |
people in his sights, promising to create up to 125,000 high quality | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
apprenticeships during the next Parliament. Benefiting businesses by | :15:48. | :15:56. | |
at least £450 per year. That is how we win the race to the top, friends. | :15:56. | :15:59. | |
He mentioned young people twice, once in the middle and the end, his | :15:59. | :16:05. | |
rhetoric was very nice, getting younger people into work. He had a | :16:05. | :16:10. | |
nice half policy about apprentices for the —— apprenticeships. They | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
gave a list of top graduate employers, and almost all of them | :16:18. | :16:22. | |
are larger companies, that is who employs graduates like myself. If he | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
taxes low Moor, they will not be able to employ us. His message | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
throughout the speech was, Britain can do better. He must now prove | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
that Labour can be trusted on the economy again. There will always be | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
concerned about how government will afford it, and there is always come | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
from eyes as there is in life and business. We will need to see | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
exactly how they will cost it. Today Ed Miliband set out his stall as the | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
man who wants to be the future Minister. In just over 18 months, | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
the electorate will decide. This has been a big speech for Ed Miliband, | :17:01. | :17:04. | |
how pleased will he be the way the wider week has gone in Brighton? If | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
you set aside the fracas on the beach—front that spoke about | :17:10. | :17:13. | |
earlier, with the former spin doctor of Gordon Brown, he will think it's | :17:13. | :17:18. | |
gone pretty well. The speech went down well. We will see what the | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
people think tomorrow. He has had policies he has been announcing on | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
childcare, but he saved the best to last, his manifesto commitment to | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
freeze energy prices for 20 months until 2017 if Labour win the next | :17:32. | :17:40. | |
election. He has to to hope and farmers like that, a pledge like | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
that will appeal to those feeling the squeeze on their living | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
standards. He also has to hope it does not scare off big business. | :17:47. | :18:01. | |
A 51—year—old grandmother from Kent is preparing for the kind of | :18:01. | :18:06. | |
challenge that would daunt even the fittest long—distant athlete, a 306 | :18:06. | :18:10. | |
mile run across Greece. Mimi Anderson is heading from her home in | :18:10. | :18:13. | |
Smarden to Athens where she will run nonstop to Sparta. It's a 153—mile | :18:13. | :18:17. | |
run called the Spartathlon. But then she'll attempt a British first by | :18:17. | :18:21. | |
turning straight round, and running the 153 miles back. I am exhausted | :18:21. | :18:30. | |
just talking about it! We will be speaking to the incredible Mimi in a | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
moment. But first here is a look at what she has achieved so far. 100 | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
miles here! The most important bit my trainers. Very nervous, I have | :18:42. | :18:56. | |
constant butterflies. I never take anything for granted until across | :18:56. | :18:58. | |
the finish line. I will be fine once race day comes | :18:58. | :19:18. | |
and we get going and the adrenaline goes and my heart rate goes down. It | :19:18. | :19:27. | |
is a great way to go and see different parts of the world with | :19:27. | :19:36. | |
like—minded crazy people. Mimi is here now. You said yourself just | :19:36. | :19:40. | |
then, they are crazy people who do that kind of thing, wide you do it? | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
For me personally, I like to see far I can push myself. The body is | :19:44. | :19:51. | |
an amazing machine. I do not know what my limits are. If it's 200 | :19:51. | :19:58. | |
miles, 300? Is it more? Do you get any pleasure from the running itself | :19:58. | :20:06. | |
or do you get your pleasure six months later when you have | :20:06. | :20:07. | |
recovered? I do get pleasure from the running. There are sections when | :20:07. | :20:12. | |
I don't like it and you do want to stop. You know that that will | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
happen. It does take you the towel on your body. Yes, I don't get to | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
get blisters, but your muscles get sore, you get other problems with | :20:22. | :20:26. | |
your stomach. It is not very nice. How long does it take you to | :20:26. | :20:32. | |
recover? Something like this, two or three weeks off running. Off | :20:32. | :20:39. | |
running? ! Doesn't sound like much of a rest! How about a family, you | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
mentioned you are a grandmother, you don't look it! How do they feel | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
watching you, it can't be nice for them. My husband comes with me. Does | :20:50. | :20:59. | |
he run with you? No, he is in the car, on the bike, doing Mr Bean. He | :20:59. | :21:06. | |
supports me, it is great. My eldest grandson thinks I am the fastest | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
person in the entire world so long may that last! You are doing this | :21:10. | :21:17. | |
for fundraising reasons? I am, I am raising money for a campaign set up | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
by a friend of mine who was diagnosed with Parkinson's and the | :21:20. | :21:28. | |
end 40. —— at the age of 36, he is now 40. I'm trained to raise money | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
for the Parkinson 's trust to fund research into the disease because as | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
yet there is no cure. You have been doing this running for 15 years, how | :21:35. | :21:42. | |
much longer will you carry on doing it for? There are people in their | :21:42. | :21:48. | |
70s doing it, so I have got another six years. She is excited about the | :21:48. | :21:53. | |
prospect! So you will never stop? As soon as I get bored. If I get bored, | :21:53. | :21:59. | |
I will stop, and I will not be able to compete at this level because you | :21:59. | :22:02. | |
have got fantastic runners coming in who are in their 30s who are | :22:03. | :22:08. | |
fantastic. I can still take part in races and do amazing event round the | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
world. Any excuse. We will be looking your progress with keenness. | :22:12. | :22:23. | |
What is the website? Marvellous Mimi .com. | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
Some have described him as a national treasure. He made his name | :22:26. | :22:30. | |
with his quick wit and surreal improvisational comedy on hit shows | :22:30. | :22:33. | |
like Whose Line is it Anyway and Have I Got News For You. Now Paul | :22:33. | :22:37. | |
Merton is heading for the South East with his Impro Chums show. Chrissie | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Reidy went to find out what's in store. When I met my hero, the | :22:41. | :22:49. | |
subject. I interviewed subjects —— Spike Milligan... As someone who | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
knows a thing or two about improvisation, comedian Paul Merton | :22:54. | :22:59. | |
is about to drawn inspiration across the Southeast as he takes the Paul | :22:59. | :23:04. | |
Merton Impro Chums show on the road. Yell at the whole thing is | :23:04. | :23:09. | |
completely improvised, music, songs, two people, five people, a mixture | :23:09. | :23:12. | |
of everything. So expect improvisation. | :23:12. | :23:20. | |
Known for his lightning wit and at times deadpan remarks, he is far | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
more at home in a world unscripted. It is immensely freeing. Sony ideas | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
in the TV industry are discussed a round table of people and you end up | :23:31. | :23:36. | |
with the committee pulling it bit. With improv, someone says, you are a | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
lion buying a nightdress, so you start buying it. And off you go! As | :23:41. | :23:50. | |
you do! Lets get and sound effects here from Archie. One of the key | :23:50. | :24:08. | |
things in improvisation is listening, rather than what you are | :24:08. | :24:13. | |
saying. If I am doing a scene with you and I have not heard what you | :24:13. | :24:17. | |
are saying, we are lost. Doomed. Yes, doomed. You have got to be | :24:17. | :24:24. | |
ready. But nerves, no, I would be nervous if after 30 seconds we were | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
not getting any laughs, but that hasn't happened yet. So should | :24:27. | :24:32. | |
audiences in Kent and Sussex be working in their suggestions? | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
Tunbridge Wells has always been great fun despite the image of the | :24:36. | :24:40. | |
town. They have always been great at the assembly rooms. I think the | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
audience like this kind of show because you act on their suggestions | :24:44. | :24:51. | |
so somebody says, driving a bus to Wolverhampton or something, so you | :24:51. | :24:59. | |
start doing that. Talking to him was chairman of the proud moment for | :24:59. | :25:05. | |
me... So there are no rules, no scripts and no two showings of the | :25:05. | :25:12. | |
same. He is a properly clever chap. It has | :25:12. | :25:20. | |
been a great day today. People enjoying the sunshine all over the | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
place. This is the afternoon sunshine in Tunbridge Wells. It has | :25:23. | :25:28. | |
been as hot as Rome today, even part of Morocco and Barcelona, just one | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
degree warmer there. I bet it will not last. | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
It will last for the week, but not the weekend, sorry! The reason has | :25:37. | :25:46. | |
been this area of high pressure. We have had Southeast elite winds, | :25:46. | :25:51. | |
bringing up warm air from the front, dry air. We have had clear skies, | :25:51. | :25:56. | |
where they have had cloud further north temperatures below seasonal | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
averages. We have had highs of 23 degrees, many reaching 21 degrees | :26:01. | :26:07. | |
today. Fairly light winds, lots of sunshine, once that dense fog and | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
back this morning. There are spies, lighter winds, staying mild. —— | :26:12. | :26:24. | |
there will be clearer skies. Temperatures only just under 12 or | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
13 degrees, along the coast much milder. Again, we have fog and mist | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
first thing tomorrow morning. High pressure around so it will earn | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
back. A bit more cloud cover around tomorrow than today. We have got | :26:39. | :26:48. | |
sunshine again. Temperatures still above seasonal averages. Normally it | :26:48. | :26:58. | |
should be 17 or 18, we should get up to 21 degrees. Tomorrow night, dry | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
and settled again. Clearer sky but low cloud around. You might see some | :27:02. | :27:07. | |
patchy light mist and fog. Cloudy start on Thursday, and into | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
Thursday, the shift is coming. A weather front which will be not mean | :27:13. | :27:20. | |
much rain but more cloud cover. A fresher feel to things. Into Friday, | :27:20. | :27:25. | |
we will be staying dry during daylight hours but the weather front | :27:25. | :27:29. | |
will be pushing up from the south—west just in time for the | :27:29. | :27:32. | |
weekend, turning rather wet and windy. Before that, settled and | :27:32. | :27:33. | |
drive. | :27:33. | :27:36. |
