That's all from the BBC News at Six, so it's goodbye from me, and on BBC | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
In tonight's programme: Not working around the clock ` why top doctors | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
aren't in the majority of our hospitals overnight at weekends An | :00:12. | :00:14. | |
inquest rules a mother of two from Dorset is the first person in the UK | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
to die as a result of cannabis poisoning. | :00:19. | :00:31. | |
Heavy rain, strong winds and high tides ` the south prepares for | :00:32. | :00:34. | |
another weekend of winter floods. Explosion ` an e`cigarette causes | :00:35. | :00:37. | |
this damage to a Hampshire woman's home, now she's warning others of | :00:38. | :01:08. | |
potential danger. Only five hospital trusts in our | :01:09. | :01:11. | |
region have 24 hour cover by consultant doctors who are actually | :01:12. | :01:16. | |
on the wards. The figures, obtained by the BBC, show most are still | :01:17. | :01:20. | |
relying on specialists being on call at their homes at night and | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
weekends. Last summer, NHS England highlighted figures that showed if | :01:26. | :01:28. | |
the same standard of care could be provided in hospitals 24/7, more | :01:29. | :01:31. | |
than four thousand lives could be saved each year. Our health | :01:32. | :01:37. | |
correspondent David Fenton joins me now. David what have we found? | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
What these figures show is it's pretty rare for consultants to be | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
available in the hospital 24 hours a day. Those that are are usually | :01:50. | :01:52. | |
working in labour wards where mums are giving birth. Now, in our region | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
the trusts that have consultants in hospital on a 24 hour rota, are | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
Frimley Park Hospital in Surrey, Western Sussex ` which is St | :02:00. | :02:02. | |
Richard's ` and Worthing Hospital, Salisbury, and Southampton, from | :02:03. | :02:09. | |
next month. Now Frimley Park Hospital has got 24 hour consultant | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
cover on its labour ward, and Jo Kent spent the evening there to see | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
what difference it really made to patients. | :02:17. | :02:21. | |
It's 9pm, and little Charlie Osborne has just arrived in the world. It | :02:22. | :02:27. | |
was a complicated birth. My contractions were too quick and | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
too fast, so they stopped them last night ` tried to slow them down a | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
bit. In the end, he was delivered by forceps. It was quite on and off for | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
the last two days. If anything was wrong on the monitors, they were | :02:42. | :02:44. | |
calling the doctors in. It was reassuring that they were in and out | :02:45. | :02:47. | |
all the time. Most labour wards provide around 60 | :02:48. | :02:50. | |
hours of on`site consultant cover a week, but, of course, babies arrive | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
at all hours of the day. Here, at Frimley Park, consultants are on the | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
ward for 132 hours per week. That's the highest in the country. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
We want the very best for our patients. We want the very best | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
outcomes. We really believe that working towards a seven`day service | :03:11. | :03:14. | |
will really benefit our patients. Consultant obstetrician Anne Deans | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
is scrambling team for an emergency Caesarean. It's believed a baby may | :03:18. | :03:22. | |
have an infection, and needs to be delivered as as soon as possible. | :03:23. | :03:26. | |
Complications sometimes arise out of the blue. You're not expecting it. | :03:27. | :03:30. | |
Sometimes, they may be complicated cases that juniors just haven't seen | :03:31. | :03:33. | |
before, or they haven't got the experience. Nowadays, it's just | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
isn't acceptable for a consultant to be directing complicated cases from | :03:37. | :03:48. | |
the end of a telephone. It's only right that we are here. | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
It has meant a change in working patterns, and anti`social hours, but | :03:53. | :03:55. | |
it has actually brought benefits. In the past, I was working during the | :03:56. | :03:59. | |
day and going home to bed, and was being woken up several times at | :04:00. | :04:03. | |
night, and coming in the next day to do my normal job again. Actually, I | :04:04. | :04:07. | |
was much more tired then than I am now, because now I'm actually being | :04:08. | :04:11. | |
paid to be here during those hours, working properly ` and I've got a | :04:12. | :04:14. | |
much better work`life balance. To be honest, I feel I'm doing a better | :04:15. | :04:17. | |
job. Consultants are expensive, but | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
whilst the wage bill has gone up, it's brought the trust savings | :04:21. | :04:24. | |
elsewhere. One of the things we are aware of | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
here, is that for a hospital of this size, we have 50% less of the | :04:29. | :04:32. | |
litigation claims than we would expect. That's got to be a very | :04:33. | :04:35. | |
positive outcome for both mother and babies. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
Basically, what you're saying is that if your children are born | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
disabled, or may be ill? Yes. | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
It's a model that everyone here would like to see become the norm. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
With 24/7 consultant cover giving babies like Charlie the best chance | :04:51. | :05:02. | |
of the best start in life. There have also been suggestions | :05:03. | :05:04. | |
that more non`emergency operations should be made available seven days | :05:05. | :05:08. | |
a week. And David, how many of our hospitals are working at weekends? | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
Most of our hospitals are doing some kind of seven`day working. Things | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
like weekends scans. But a few trusts don't have anything like | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
weekend working, work consultants on their 24`hour Rota. | :05:26. | :05:27. | |
Hampshire ` with hospitals in Winchester Basingstoke, Royal | :05:28. | :05:30. | |
Surrey, Isle of Wight, Sussex and Surrey. Seven day working doesn't | :05:31. | :05:33. | |
have to involve just simple procedures ` at Southampton General, | :05:34. | :05:36. | |
they're now doing weekend brain surgery. One very senior consultant | :05:37. | :05:39. | |
I spoke to said it's crackers to have millions worth of equipment | :05:40. | :05:42. | |
operating theatres, just lying idle all day Saturday, all day Sunday. | :05:43. | :05:50. | |
This team are about to do a brain biopsy. It is eight o'clock on a | :05:51. | :06:00. | |
Saturday morning. Doing this more routinely has been | :06:01. | :06:05. | |
challenging. Some people like myself and the anaesthetic team might | :06:06. | :06:09. | |
prefer to work the odd Saturday. It's an efficient lists. It's quite | :06:10. | :06:17. | |
enjoyable. There are operations here every other weekend. It's a ten hour | :06:18. | :06:23. | |
shifts, seeing patients with brain tumours and spinal problems. I think | :06:24. | :06:29. | |
the patients get an excellent deal on a Saturday. They know they will | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
have a consultant neurosurgeon and a consultant anaesthetist. We don't | :06:34. | :06:38. | |
have treating and training on a Saturday morning. | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
Operating theatres are expensive assets. But in most hospitals, they | :06:43. | :06:48. | |
are used only five days a week. At weekends, they are empty. There are | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
three neurosurgery operating theatres here, but only one would | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
normally be used at weekends. Here, that's all changing. By opening one | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
operating theatre every other Saturday, a can treat an extra 100 | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
patients a year. Staff, it means working one weekend in every eight. | :07:11. | :07:14. | |
Staff enjoy it. We like coming in. We all know what | :07:15. | :07:18. | |
we have to do and just get on with it. | :07:19. | :07:23. | |
Having planned operations on a weekends, they are eventually, `` | :07:24. | :07:28. | |
may eventually become a norm in the NHS. One very senior consultant I | :07:29. | :07:40. | |
spoke to said it's crackers to have millions worth of equipment | :07:41. | :07:42. | |
operating theatres, just lying idle all day Saturday, all day Sunday. | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
But of course ` using them means taking on more staff. These weekend | :07:47. | :07:49. | |
brain operations needed three more consultants, two anaesthetists and | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
about ten more theatre nurses. But that's paid for by the extra | :07:55. | :07:57. | |
operations they do ` they're seeing 100 more patients a year. One final | :07:58. | :08:02. | |
point ` like it or not this is the future, I understand all new | :08:03. | :08:04. | |
consultants at Southampton now have it written into their contracts that | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
they must be available to work weekends. | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
A single mother from Bournemouth is thought to be the first woman in the | :08:17. | :08:20. | |
UK to have died as a result of smoking cannabis. Gemma Moss, who | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
was 31 and had three children, was using the drug to help her sleep. | :08:25. | :08:27. | |
Following an inquest, the coroner concluded she died as a result of | :08:28. | :08:30. | |
the drug use. But campaign groups which promote the use of cannabis | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
are strongly challenging this finding. Chrissy Sturt reports. | :08:34. | :08:37. | |
Gemma Moss was described today as lively and full of fun. She was 31, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
healthy, with three children. But she sometimes had trouble sleeping. | :08:44. | :08:47. | |
In October last year, she smoked a cannabis cigarette to help her | :08:48. | :08:50. | |
sleep, and was later found dead in her bedroom. An inquest in | :08:51. | :08:53. | |
Bournemouth has concluded her death was the direct result of smoking the | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
cannabis, making her the first woman in the UK to die in this way. The | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
conclusion was based on evidence from Poole based pathologist, Dr | :09:02. | :09:07. | |
Kudair Hussein. There are reports which say cannabis can be considered | :09:08. | :09:10. | |
as a cause of death because it can induce a cardiac arrest, he said. | :09:11. | :09:15. | |
Coroner, Mr Sheriff Payne, asked him, you are satisfied it was the | :09:16. | :09:17. | |
effects of With the balance of probability | :09:18. | :09:34. | |
thast it is more likely than not that she died from the effects of | :09:35. | :09:36. | |
cannabis. It's very unusual ` we don't | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
normally think of cannabis as a drug which kills people relatively | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
instantly like this. Tthere have been a few recorded cases ` in Wales | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
in 2004 of a young man ` but although it's rare, there is | :09:48. | :09:49. | |
definitely an increase. But pro`cannabis campaign groups are | :09:50. | :09:52. | |
questioning the findings of the inquest, and want the circumstances | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
of her death looked at again. One group is demanding the coroner | :09:59. | :10:01. | |
make public the full transcript of exactly what was said. | :10:02. | :10:11. | |
Even if we said that this was caused by cannabis, which I don't believe | :10:12. | :10:19. | |
it was, that one death. There are between eight and 9000 deaths this | :10:20. | :10:22. | |
year directly as a result of alcohol. There are hundreds of | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
thousands of deaths as a result of tobacco. | :10:27. | :10:28. | |
Gemma was a member of Citygate Church in Bournemouth. They say she | :10:29. | :10:31. | |
was well loved by many, and very much missed. | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
Southampton's skyline changed this morning ` as one of four new cranes | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
was moved into place at the city's container terminal. They each weigh | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
over one thousand tons and reach 126 metres into the sky. It means, after | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
years of delays, the ?150 million project to expand Southampton's | :10:49. | :10:50. | |
container terminal is nearly complete. The port says the work has | :10:51. | :10:58. | |
been crucial in safeguarding up to one thousand two hundred jobs. | :10:59. | :11:20. | |
Who is coming in? Who's going out? All the news from today's transfer | :11:21. | :11:29. | |
deadline coming up. Rain and high winds have hit the south again this | :11:30. | :11:32. | |
evening, prompting warnings of more potential flooding. | :11:33. | :11:34. | |
The Environment Agency, which has issued numerous flood warnings, said | :11:35. | :11:37. | |
many coastal areas would be affected by high tides in the coming days. | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
Our reporter Sean Killick is in Pagham on the West Sussex coast this | :11:42. | :11:44. | |
evening where residents have been facing concerns since Christmas over | :11:45. | :11:47. | |
their flood defences. Sean, how's it looking? | :11:48. | :11:56. | |
It's pretty wet and windy here. I'm on one of the patios at one of the | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
seafront houses here. It used to be about 80 yards away, but during the | :12:02. | :12:09. | |
nights the sea has eroded the beach. The view from this room is dramatic, | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
but the sea is getting closer every day. | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
Every night, we hear rumbling when the rocks are falling down. Nothing | :12:22. | :12:27. | |
is safe here. The residents along the strip off the beach are all very | :12:28. | :12:33. | |
concerned. The beach is slowly being washed away. | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
These are the houses, and this is the beach. The shingle you can see | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
out there is a spate which is stretching from the beach a quarter | :12:42. | :12:45. | |
of a mile away. That's never used to be here. This is now the mouth of | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
the harbour. Every time the titles in or out, it takes part of the | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
beach with it. Residents want a hole cut through to alter the current and | :12:57. | :13:06. | |
stop its washing away the beach. The council says it is doing what it can | :13:07. | :13:12. | |
to protect their homes. The ?500,000 we spent on this rock has provided a | :13:13. | :13:15. | |
defence. We are looking at about ?100,000 of | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
work to protect it further will stop our problem is finding that money. | :13:21. | :13:27. | |
The council says the rock is still protecting the homes, but with more | :13:28. | :13:30. | |
storms and spring tides this weekend, it has shingles in position | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
in case of emergencies. The Environment Agency says there are | :13:38. | :13:41. | |
nine flood warnings in the region, including a long stretches of the | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
River Thames. You saw flooded roads in Berkshire. There are warnings of | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
difficult conditions in the next few hours, and motorists are urged to | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
take care of. They are going to be salting the roads tonight, because | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
of the risk of freezing temperatures. | :14:06. | :14:22. | |
The weather is coming up. There has been disruption on the | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
trains after a signalling problem in Salisbury. | :14:27. | :14:33. | |
Services are expected to be disrupted until at least 9pm | :14:34. | :14:36. | |
tonight. A woman whose house caught fire | :14:37. | :14:39. | |
after she charged an electronic cigarette is warning others of the | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
potential dangers. Tam Hunt had only just bought the device which she | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
plugged in for just a few minutes. It exploded causing a fire which | :14:47. | :14:49. | |
spread through the first floor of her house in Bordon in Hampshire. | :14:50. | :14:56. | |
James Ingham has been to meet her. I heard the fire alarms go off, ran | :14:57. | :15:00. | |
upstairs, and discovered that my whole bedroom was on fire. | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
It's really badly damaged, isn't it? It is. This is literally ten minutes | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
worth of damage. We were incredibly lucky. I was downstairs making a cup | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
of tea when the fire alarms went off. When I came upstairs, I can | :15:15. | :15:24. | |
only describe it as carnage. It was terrifying. | :15:25. | :15:25. | |
An e`cigarette works by heating liquid nicotine, turning it into | :15:26. | :15:30. | |
vapour. But they need to be charged. You unscrew it. You take the vapour | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
away. You then plug in the charger, and that can go into any certified | :15:35. | :15:39. | |
adapter, or even into your laptop. After being charged in this plug | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
socket, this is all that is left of Tam's e`cigarette. Trading Standards | :15:44. | :15:46. | |
are now looking into what happened, trying to identify exactly which | :15:47. | :15:50. | |
product it was that she bought. They are certainly very concerned. | :15:51. | :15:55. | |
Advocates of e`cigarettes warned that charging any lithium battery | :15:56. | :15:58. | |
carries a small risk. But they insist that products are regulated | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
sufficiently. Electronic cigarettes go through at | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
least 15 EDU directives. They need to be trading standards compliant. | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
They need to be CE marked to prove their safety. Anybody who is selling | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
the ones that aren't are breaking the law. | :16:16. | :16:20. | |
But Tam is concerned, and says she'd never use an e`cigarette again. | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
I thought, this is brilliant. This is a great way to give up smoking. | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
I'm going to extend my health. It's not going to impact my children. | :16:31. | :16:33. | |
It's had more impact than I ever could have imagined. It literally is | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
one of the worst things I've ever done. It has caused complete | :16:38. | :16:45. | |
devastation to us. Onto sport now and we're into the | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
final hours of football's transfer deadline day. Tony's here to tell us | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
what's happening. Tony, it's a day where there's a lot of speculation, | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
and fans can be on the edge of their seat. | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
This day was made with the social media age! | :17:05. | :17:07. | |
We'll stick to what's happening in these final hours of the window. All | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
the deals must be completed by 11PM tonight in the UK. The big transfer | :17:12. | :17:15. | |
is a departure from St Mary's and no real surprise after the past week of | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
headlines. Dani Osvaldo has been in Italy today completing a loan move | :17:20. | :17:22. | |
to Juventus. The Italians will pay a loan fee of ?330,000 ` that's with a | :17:23. | :17:26. | |
view to a permanent ?14 millionswitch at the end of the | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
season. Osvaldo was suspended by Saints for a training ground attack | :17:30. | :17:32. | |
on Jose Fonte. Meanwhile Jason Puncheon` who's been on loan at | :17:33. | :17:35. | |
Crystal Palace since August has moved to London permanently for | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
?1.75 million Bournemouth have finally landed striker Yann | :17:38. | :17:39. | |
Kermorgant after a week of negotiations which saw the player | :17:40. | :17:42. | |
travel south on wednesday and then return today to complete the | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
formalities of a two and a half year contract for a fee of around | :17:47. | :18:03. | |
?400,000. I think it is a very good project | :18:04. | :18:10. | |
for the club. We want to push forward is to enter the Premier | :18:11. | :18:26. | |
League. Southampton go to relegation | :18:27. | :18:28. | |
threatened Fulham tomorrow in the Premier League. | :18:29. | :18:32. | |
Saints sit ninth in the table, after Tuesday's draw with Arsenal. Rickie | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
Lambert is fit again after a hamstring injury. Victor Wanyama is | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
in contention to return after ten games out through injury. | :18:39. | :18:42. | |
Away from the Premier League, Reading go to Millwall tomorrow, | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
hoping to build on their latest big win. Bournemouth are at home again ` | :18:46. | :18:51. | |
their fifth home game in a row, as they host a Leicester side which has | :18:52. | :18:55. | |
won its last eight. Brighton are at Watford on Sunday. In league One, | :18:56. | :18:59. | |
Swindon host Oldham and MK Dons entertain Tranmere. Portsmouth are | :19:00. | :19:03. | |
at home against fellow strugglers Torquay at Fratton Park. Managerless | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Oxford host Wimbledon. Full commentary on BBC local radio and | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
the goals are on the Football League Show tomorrow night. | :19:11. | :19:16. | |
And in the non league, four of the eight remaining teams in this | :19:17. | :19:19. | |
season's FA Trophy are from Hampshire ` it's quarter`final | :19:20. | :19:22. | |
weekend. So good luck to fans of Havant and Waterlooville, Aldershot, | :19:23. | :19:24. | |
Eastleigh and Gosport Borough. Reading Ladies defend their national | :19:25. | :19:27. | |
indoor hockey title this weekend at Wembley Arena. The event has changed | :19:28. | :19:31. | |
from a six player per team format to five. Reading head into the weekend | :19:32. | :19:34. | |
with high hopes, but the continuing success for the club at women's and | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
men's levels is coming at a financial cost. Skipper Emma Thomas | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
joined me earlier to look ahead. It's a big weekend of indoor hockey. | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
We are already through to the finals. | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
After last year's success, would you consider yourselves likely to win | :20:04. | :20:07. | |
the trophy again? I don't think there is such a thing | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
as favourites in sports. Maybe the other team edge its. It's going to | :20:13. | :20:21. | |
be a really close game. They've been there before and beaten | :20:22. | :20:25. | |
us there before. They have won one, we have want one. | :20:26. | :20:34. | |
There are only five of you on the pitch. It's a relatively big pitch | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
for five people. It's actually a big space. It is | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
quite exciting. The downside is, you have to work really hard to get | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
enough people in attack and enough in defence. For us, it's a positive, | :20:48. | :20:56. | |
because we have a massive bench. So you can play to the strengths of | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
the squad. You are so strong, but there's a price to this success, | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
isn't there? It's the funding of getting you to these events. The men | :21:06. | :21:11. | |
have competed in Europe for eight consecutive seasons. | :21:12. | :21:15. | |
We are in our third season. It does come as a huge price. Most of us | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
have regular jobs alongside playing hockey. It is expensive. | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
You've got international players. How can you find ways to help those | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
of you in everyday jobs get out there and compete? | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
The club are hugely supportive, and the members help us from that point | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
of view. We run coaching sessions to help fund ourselves. We also have a | :21:45. | :21:50. | |
few sponsorship deals. There is a national campaign to send us to | :21:51. | :21:54. | |
Europe. Today, we announced a sponsorship deal with a charity who | :21:55. | :22:01. | |
are helping fund what we do. People forget that they think it is a | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
high`performance sports, so you just take the weekend off and go. | :22:06. | :22:12. | |
Other mac we pay to play, so we are very different to the footballers. | :22:13. | :22:23. | |
It's the first time we've been. It's `20 out there, so we are glad it's | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
outdoors will stop it will be really exciting to play some of the best | :22:28. | :22:28. | |
nations indoors. James O'Connor will leave at the end | :22:29. | :22:50. | |
of the season. He's hoping to get back onto the Australian team. And | :22:51. | :23:02. | |
six Nations starts tomorrow. We've got France playing England's. Wales | :23:03. | :23:09. | |
are playing Italy. Ireland's playing Scotland on Sunday. | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
What is the oldest food in your kitchen cupboard? | :23:15. | :23:24. | |
At university, we had a massive tin of ravioli which we never touched. | :23:25. | :23:30. | |
This is a time tin of luncheon meat 45 years old. | :23:31. | :23:38. | |
When he was 22, Nick went shopping with his girlfriend. We saw these | :23:39. | :23:44. | |
catering sized tins of luncheon meat and decided to get a couple. | :23:45. | :23:51. | |
It cost him four shillings. That is 20p and today's money. Nick didn't | :23:52. | :23:55. | |
know that it would be the beginning of a moral relationship. | :23:56. | :24:04. | |
When my father died, we found the tin that I remembered giving to my | :24:05. | :24:13. | |
parents some 30 years previously. I've had bad tin in one of my | :24:14. | :24:17. | |
cupboards for the last ten years. I have no intention of opening it! I | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
would love to know if it was edible. | :24:21. | :24:28. | |
As long as the tin looks sound, I'd probably eat it! | :24:29. | :24:41. | |
Is pretty gross, isn't it! I'm not sure his son would agree | :24:42. | :24:52. | |
that it's a perfect family heirloom! Less get the weather. `` lets get | :24:53. | :24:58. | |
the weather. There has been some heavy rain this | :24:59. | :25:16. | |
afternoon, and it will continue until just after midnight. There | :25:17. | :25:24. | |
will be quite a few heavy showers, and temperatures falling rapidly | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
under clearing skies. The winds will fall like true overnights, bringing | :25:29. | :25:34. | |
the risk of some ice. There may be the odd wintry showers over high | :25:35. | :25:39. | |
grounds. A bit of sleet, even the odd snowflakes. The winds will | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
increase in strength tomorrow. We are looking at gale`force winds | :25:45. | :25:51. | |
across the coast. A bit of wintriness over the Cotswolds, a bit | :25:52. | :25:55. | |
of sleet or even snow. It's mainly falling as rain. Highs tomorrow of | :25:56. | :26:01. | |
six. A cold Biel to things, with those strong winds. It will be very | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
strong along the south coast. `` a cold deal to things. Check the | :26:08. | :26:16. | |
Environment Agency website for more flood warnings. The risk of | :26:17. | :26:22. | |
localised flooding following that rain, and there is the Environment | :26:23. | :26:27. | |
Agency warning number for you if you are concerned about the situation. A | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
slightly better day on Sunday, but tomorrow we will have a few showers. | :26:37. | :26:40. | |
They could be heavy, but there will be some dry periods as well. | :26:41. | :26:49. | |
Temperatures tomorrow night down to four. A dry day on Sunday, but there | :26:50. | :26:52. | |
is still a big swell in the English Channel, which means we may have | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
some large coastal waves. Sunshine to be had on Sunday, and a few | :26:59. | :27:02. | |
showers mainly for the south coast. Still a breeze, but not as strong. | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
We are looking at gusts tomorrow of 50 mph. The Met office are warning | :27:10. | :27:21. | |
of those winds. In a better day on Sunday, with some sunny spells, | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
scattered showers, Mitre winds. Definitely the best day of the | :27:27. | :27:30. | |
weekend. More rain and strong winds arrive next week. Monday and also | :27:31. | :27:32. | |
Wednesday. | :27:33. | :27:34. |
