The knock on effect of the Brittany Ferries strike as local businesses | :00:11. | :00:21. | |
:00:21. | :00:21. | ||
begin to suffer. In our industry, the costs are a big problem to West | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
that moment. Fuel and general running costs, and this on top is | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
bad news. Good evening. Haulage firms say the | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
dispute could cause long term damage. We'll have the latest from | :00:34. | :00:37. | |
France. Also tonight: cutting benefits. The | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Lib Dem's say free bus passes, TV licences and other allowances may | :00:40. | :00:41. | |
be scrapped for the wealthiest pensioners. | :00:41. | :00:44. | |
And under pressure, a dramatic increase in the number of doctors | :00:44. | :00:52. | |
Four days of talks and still no agreement to end the strike by | :00:52. | :00:55. | |
French workers on Brittany ferries. All services are cancelled until at | :00:55. | :00:57. | |
least tomorrow lunchtime as the dispute over pay and conditions | :00:57. | :01:04. | |
rumbles on. Hundreds of people have had their | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
travel arrangements turned upside down, and as we'll hear in a moment | :01:07. | :01:09. | |
business trying to deliver local goods to the continent have also | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
had to re-think their journeys. But as John Ayres reports from Roscoff, | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
many passengers have now bitten the bullet and have started making | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
their way to Calais in order to get back home. | :01:21. | :01:25. | |
Enough is enough. A number of Brittany ferries passengers had | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
chosen to sit the strike out, in the hope of eventually coming home. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
But feel this could go on and on, they decided it is time to go. | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
Yesterday, we featured Roger and Susan, who felt they were not fit | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
enough to drive. They decided they've got no choice. I find it | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
difficult to drive and as you can see, I'm using a stick today. I | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
cannot stand for long anyway. I have to hope we make it all right. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
If we stay any longer, we are not - - they are not going to stay for | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
the rooms. We are going to stop and stay in a hotel tonight and then go | :02:02. | :02:06. | |
on the ferry tomorrow. And we might have to stop on the way home from | :02:06. | :02:14. | |
Dover. The drive is such a long way. The dispute is about proposals to | :02:14. | :02:17. | |
change working hours. Brittany Ferries say they have to make | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
changes because of losses caused by exchange-rate fluctuations and | :02:21. | :02:26. | |
rising fuel costs. John and Eve were also sitting it out. They've | :02:26. | :02:33. | |
decided to take the 700 mile route home of fire caliph. This has | :02:33. | :02:42. | |
tainted it home -- painted it for as this time. We feel abandoned. We | :02:42. | :02:45. | |
will extend our holiday but we have already been here too long and we | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
should be home. A lot of elderly people are still here. They are | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
hoping that the ferries will run for stop we really don't think they | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
will. It is distressing to see other people in this situation. | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
It's a huge drive home for people caught in the south-west -- from | :03:04. | :03:08. | |
the South West but the uncertainty has left them with no choice. | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
The dispute isn't just affecting people on holiday. Scores of | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
businesses in the region rely on the ferry link to import and export | :03:14. | :03:16. | |
their goods. Haulage firms are dealing with a logistical nightmare | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
as they search for alternative routes with some warning that if | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
the dispute drags on it could have damaging consequences in the long | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
term. John Henderson has been to see how one firm is coping with the | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
on going strike. Loading up with marmalade. It is | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
one of the goods are often taken to France by this haulage company. | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
Over half its business is in Brittany. The ferry dispute is | :03:43. | :03:48. | |
costing the firm money. This is a headache. In our industry, costs on | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
a big problem to was at the moment. You have this on top of it is bad | :03:52. | :03:59. | |
news. I calculated, we had to trucks leaving on Sunday but | :03:59. | :04:02. | |
instead of going from Plymouth to Roscoff, they had to go to | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
Portsmouth, back to Britain. Add the extra time and diesel, but | :04:07. | :04:14. | |
that's about �650 extra per truck. In the office, Mike and his team | :04:14. | :04:18. | |
are used to tracking orders. The firm has a fleet of 12 lorries. The | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
strike has made keeping across the logistics are even harder. Give me | :04:25. | :04:34. | |
a couple of minutes... Peter has seen the dispute professionally and | :04:34. | :04:37. | |
personally. He missed a day's work when his Ferrie home from France | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
was cancelled, forcing him to stay in a hotel and then drive hundreds | :04:40. | :04:46. | |
of miles. It was a major hassle. It ruined the end of my holiday. You | :04:46. | :04:49. | |
work hard all year, look forward to your holidays and that happens at | :04:49. | :04:59. | |
:04:59. | :05:02. | ||
the end of it. It has remained the relaxing week I did have. This | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
business is having a difficult time. 85 % of what we carry ends up in | :05:07. | :05:14. | |
the supermarkets. That is the import side. We export goods into | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Europe as well. In today's market, the Chancellor tells us exports are | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
an important part of making the economy work again. If we got no | :05:23. | :05:33. | |
:05:33. | :05:36. | ||
ferries, we will struggle. At the Other news: detectives | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
investigating the alleged rape of a woman in Exeter during the early | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
hours of this morning are appealing for the public's help. It's thought | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
she was attacked in a walkway in the city centre, between Sidwell | :05:45. | :05:48. | |
Street and King William Street. The area has been cordoned off while | :05:48. | :05:51. | |
police continue with their inquiries. | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
A ship involved in the recovery of tons of silver from a wreck, lying | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
three miles beneath the surface of the Atlantic, has docked in | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
Falmouth. The Seabed Worker has been adapted with high-tech | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
equipment to work at the wreck site 300 miles south west of Ireland. | :06:08. | :06:10. | |
Odyssey Marine Exploration has a contract from the UK government to | :06:10. | :06:15. | |
recover the silver, worth many millions of pounds. The wrecked | :06:15. | :06:17. | |
steamship, SS Gairsoppa, was torpeadoed by a U-boat in the | :06:17. | :06:23. | |
second world war. The Liberal Democrat leader Nick | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Clegg has indicated that in future his party might look at ending | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
universal benefits for the elderly. That would include things such as | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
free bus passes, the winter fuel allowance and free TV licences. Our | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
political editor is with us now. Is this a bolt from the blue? | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
Not really. Today Nick Clegg alluded to a discussion when the | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
coalition formed on this issue. The Conservatives were dead against it. | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
He said for the lifetime of this Parliament, he agrees there should | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
be no change but looking to the future, it's difficult to defend | :06:54. | :07:00. | |
somebody like Alan Sugar are getting a free bus pass. | :07:00. | :07:05. | |
Millionaires in this country, though, perhaps not during this | :07:05. | :07:10. | |
Parliament, but in the future will, much in the spirit I'm saying but | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
the people of considerable wealth want to make a contribution, will | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
also say that they be they should give up some of those universal | :07:17. | :07:22. | |
entitlements to help people who are less lucky them them. Some people | :07:22. | :07:27. | |
in his party want him to move fast on this. By spoke to a couple of | :07:27. | :07:33. | |
our MPs. -- I spoke. They say that they also think this is worth | :07:33. | :07:37. | |
having a look at, as long as the only losers are people who are too | :07:37. | :07:40. | |
rich to need these things. On the other side of the argument, there | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
are people who say there is more to universal benefits than Duchess's | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
spending their winter fuel allowance on champagne. Charities | :07:48. | :07:55. | |
like age UK say that he should think again. Age UK would say event. | :07:55. | :08:00. | |
What we would say is that universal benefits are there to help all the | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
people -- older people in the country. If you tinker with them | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
and juice means testing which is expensive, we will see lots of | :08:08. | :08:18. | |
:08:18. | :08:18. | ||
older people with needs slip through the rent. -- the net. If we | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
go to a means tested system, that is going to be exactly the same for | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
millions more. We posted this story on our Facebook pages earlier and | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
we had a lot of comments. Gordon says, why not just kill them all | :08:31. | :08:41. | |
:08:41. | :08:42. | ||
off at 65? For wealthy maintain -- the wealthy older people are being | :08:42. | :08:46. | |
abandoned. Colin says, far better to tax the wealthy, which they went | :08:46. | :08:51. | |
of course, than cut benefits to pensioners. The form said, what | :08:51. | :08:55. | |
they don't seem to understand is that these were of the pensioners | :08:55. | :08:59. | |
are the ones who've worked hard, paid their taxes and national | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
insurance and been careful. So guess what, let's penalise them now. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
They have reached an age where they should be enjoying themselves. | :09:06. | :09:16. | |
Colin says, and a pensioner. I wish I was a wealthy one! | :09:16. | :09:18. | |
The diggers have moved onto Trafalgar roundabout in Truro at | :09:18. | :09:27. | |
the start of a massive roadworks scheme to improve traffic flow. | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
It'll take a year and is costing �2.2 million. The central island's | :09:30. | :09:33. | |
being made smaller and an extra lane's being added. Pedestrian | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
crossings and junctions are being improved. The works will be carried | :09:35. | :09:41. | |
out during the night. Tests have begun to find out what | :09:41. | :09:43. | |
effect dredging a deeper channel into Falmouth port would have on | :09:43. | :09:46. | |
sea life. Falmouth Harbour Commissioners claim the work is | :09:46. | :09:49. | |
needed to secure the future of the port. Protestors say the scheme | :09:49. | :09:51. | |
will damage the environment and hit fishermen. David George reports | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
from Falmouth Docks. Dredging of Falmouth Docks is | :09:56. | :10:02. | |
finally under way. This is a trial dredge, an experiment. The top 30 | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
centimetres or one foot of the sea bed is an important habitat for | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
many creatures. Here, it's been scraped off and then stored for 12 | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
hours on a barge. Then the material as the creatures that live in it | :10:15. | :10:21. | |
are being returned to the sea bed. The pointers is to see whether the | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
habitat and the animal live in it, well it -- whether they can be put | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
on a barge and then put back in place. It's the top surface of the | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
habitat which is most important. This is the bit that is protected. | :10:32. | :10:39. | |
The idea is that if we can do this, dredgers in future can use this | :10:39. | :10:44. | |
process to hold the top surface of the habitat and then dig, take this | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
sediment below and relay this very important top surface of the seabed. | :10:49. | :10:52. | |
From of Harbour Commissioners say a deeper channel to the docks is | :10:52. | :10:56. | |
vital for the future of the port. They want bigger cruise ships to be | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
able to come alongside, to avoid the need for passengers to come | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
ashore in small boats. And they want to be able to get bigger | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
vessels and the docks for ship repair. Protesters, including | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
commercial fishermen, are worried about the effects of thousands of | :11:12. | :11:17. | |
drugs -- tonnes of dredged soil. They also say council money should | :11:17. | :11:22. | |
not be used to pay for the project. And that the dredging will damage | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
the environment of what is a Special Area of Conservation. They | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
believe the trial dredge is inadequate. The problem with the | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
trial is that it is small scale. At very short term. Critically, and | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
like a full-scale trade, there are not many thousands of tons of silt | :11:40. | :11:48. | |
suspended in the sediment being washed and settling. We wanted to | :11:49. | :11:51. | |
ask the commission is about that and several other aspects of the | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
project but they declined to take part in any interviews with BBC | :11:55. | :12:01. | |
Television. Once the experiment will dredge is over, scientists | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
will come back here in five weeks and again in six months' time, to | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
check the effects on seabed creatures. Their report will be | :12:08. | :12:11. | |
sent to the Government's Marine the management organisation, which will | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
make the final decision on whether the full-scale dredging of the | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
docks here can go ahead. It's faster, full of safety | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
features and fit for the future. We take to the water with the RNLI as | :12:26. | :12:33. | |
they test drive a new wave of lifeboats. | :12:33. | :12:43. | |
Find out why these are the best in The number of Devon GPs seeking | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
help for stress has increased sharply in the last year. Their | :12:46. | :12:48. | |
professional body blames health service changes and a heavy | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
workload. There's also concern that too few new doctors are going into | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
general practice. I'm joined now by our health correspondent. What is | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
the problem here? In Devon, the body that represents | :13:02. | :13:07. | |
them, says in of the past year there has been a fourfold increase | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
in the number of family doctors coming to them for pastoral support | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
because of stress. One of the reasons his workload, because of a | :13:14. | :13:19. | |
shortage of GPs and the concern is that as GPs retire, there are not | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
enough new dockers are going into general practice. This is something | :13:22. | :13:30. | |
that has been raised in Parliament. We've now got it and -- 12 % | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
vacancy for GPs which was unheard of in years gone by. I think the | :13:34. | :13:39. | |
problem is that we are training to many junior doctors and medical | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
students to going to hospitals where there are vacancies. This has | :13:44. | :13:48. | |
been happening for many years and it is time we address it. We need | :13:48. | :13:51. | |
to get 50 % of doctors coming through medical school and choosing | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
General Practice. Are there other reasons why GPs may be under | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
pressure? The work they do has increased in | :13:58. | :14:00. | |
recent years because we are all living longer and have got more | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
things wrong with us. Also, have got more patients to look after | :14:04. | :14:07. | |
because there is more of an emphasis on people -- keeping | :14:07. | :14:11. | |
people out of hospital and is looking after them in the community. | :14:11. | :14:15. | |
Add that the enormous changes that the health service is going through | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
and the health -- the pressure is piling on the doctors. Doctors' | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
leaders say that the whole combination of these changes and | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
taking over NHS budgets next year, at a time of enormous financial | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
pressure, is going to send more people out of the profession. | :14:35. | :14:43. | |
have been a lot of reports in the press about attacks on pensions. 12 | :14:43. | :14:48. | |
and 14 nowadays, and the constant drive for efficiency and lack of | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
funding means GPs are are retiring early or considering alternative | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
careers. She says what is needed is more | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
investment and practices to stop GPs burning out and to prevent a | :15:03. | :15:08. | |
possible recruitment crisis in the future. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
Clean, green heat for those living and working at Exeter's newest town | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
and business park moved a step closer today. A huge building | :15:14. | :15:16. | |
alongside the old A30 which will eventually house two wood chip | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
boilers, has been completed. Spotlight's Leigh Rundle has been | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
finding how it will eventually heat local homes and businesses. | :15:25. | :15:33. | |
This is the inside of an energy centre. When its new huge by a mass | :15:33. | :15:37. | |
boilers are installed, it will be able to supply renewable energy to | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
the 3500 new homes just have to read. It will also supply the sky | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
park next door. At the other end of things, Sam gets to grips with the | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
control panel. His heating and hot water are currently fuelled by | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
natural gas but all the infrastructure is there in | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
preparation for would waste by a mass. We can see how the basic | :16:02. | :16:08. | |
stuff works. We have got our head around the level so if it goes | :16:08. | :16:11. | |
below a certain temperature, the heating will kick in. In terms of | :16:11. | :16:16. | |
using it for when you want the water to come in, we've not got | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
that stage yet. Generating clean, renewable energy, this centre it | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
makes -- looks set to make this committee will have the lowest | :16:25. | :16:34. | |
carbon in the UK. This technology will provide a low carbon and zero | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
carbon renewable heat that will be distributed to properties and the | :16:39. | :16:42. | |
business park via a heat and add to it. There will be pipes under the | :16:42. | :16:47. | |
ground taking hot water to all the commercial units and all the | :16:47. | :16:50. | |
properties. Instead of having gas connection, they will have a hot | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
water connection. This ground- breaking heating system will, it's | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
hoped, encourage business growth and the adjacent development. | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
think it will be fantastically attractive to occupiers. It's a | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
unique facility providing low carbon heat. It's one of the first | :17:11. | :17:17. | |
in the country serving in low-rise development. It will give you | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
carbon emissions savings of 80 %. It's truly fantastic and unique, as | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
I say. Doubtless say trail-blazing development but money is tight and | :17:28. | :17:31. | |
for many businesses feeling the pinch, relocation may not be at a | :17:31. | :17:37. | |
top priority. More than 100,000 people have | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
signed an online petition against a trial cull of badgers to tackle | :17:40. | :17:43. | |
bovine TB in the South West. Last week a licence to kill the animals | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
was issued for a pilot cull in Gloucestershire. A second licence | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
for a pilot cull in Somerset is still being considered. The size of | :17:50. | :17:58. | |
the petition means the issue could now be debated in Parliament. | :17:58. | :18:01. | |
Talks are taking place today at door-maker, Leaderflush Shapland, | :18:01. | :18:04. | |
which is closing it's Barnstaple factory with the loss of 75 jobs. | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
Unions want assurances about how the process will be managed. | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
Now we had lots of emails following yesterday's story on pupils at a | :18:14. | :18:17. | |
Secondary school in Totnes in Devon who are back in uniform yesterday | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
after months of controversy over plans to re-introduce it. Mr James | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
says, if that father who you interviewed is not prepared to send | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
his child to school complying with the school's uniform policy then he | :18:28. | :18:31. | |
should find another school. Jon Wheatley commented on a banner | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
held by protesting pupils. He says, banner shown on the kids' school | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
uniform protest read, all your blazers are belong to us. Little | :18:41. | :18:44. | |
less time protesting, a little more learning perhaps? | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
And John Pepper from Brixham says, I live near a school which adopted | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
a uniform about 12 months ago and the standard of behaviour has | :18:51. | :18:57. | |
improved hugely. Thank you for all of your comments. You can send your | :18:57. | :19:00. | |
views on any of tonight's topics via email, Twitter or on our | :19:00. | :19:04. | |
Facebook page. The RNLI has unveiled its new | :19:04. | :19:07. | |
Shannon Class lifeboat today. It uses water jets instead of | :19:07. | :19:09. | |
propellers, which makes it 50% faster, and it's packed with | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
innovations and new safety features. Crews in the South West will be | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
among the first to get their hands on the new boats as they're rolled | :19:17. | :19:27. | |
:19:27. | :19:29. | ||
out across the country. The new Shanon class lifeboat seen | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
here in trials can cope with hurricane conditions. The ride for | :19:33. | :19:37. | |
the crew inside his somewhat cushioned by the latest shock | :19:37. | :19:42. | |
absorbing sit. Calm conditions today, where the agility and speed | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
of the boat was shown off. She is the first of the charity's all- | :19:47. | :19:51. | |
weather lifeboats to be powered by water jets, not propellers. You can | :19:51. | :19:55. | |
get the boat moving virtually in any direction, in any wind | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
conditions. That is just by a simple movement of the helm. You | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
can get the boat turning on a sixpence. You can get there quicker, | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
get them out of danger and get back to the straw -- draw. This boat is | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
the only one of her kind. Plan is to introduce about 50 over the next | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
10 years, making up about a third of the RNLI is all-weather fade. | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
The boats have a lifespan of 50 years and it is thought during that | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
time, they will be involved in about 56,000 rescues and save in | :20:28. | :20:35. | |
the region of 1500 lives. The boat, designed in-house by the RNLI, is | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
self-righting. The safety of the crew has been at the heart of the | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
project. The computer system allows them to remotely control many of | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
the Brits functions. I can open and close valves without any need to | :20:47. | :20:52. | |
move from my seat. Most of our injuries in the boats are from the | :20:52. | :20:56. | |
moving around so this keeps people sat in their seats. The Shannon | :20:56. | :20:58. | |
class doesn't need a slipway to launch. It has a mobile one, | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:11. | ||
designed by Keith they Homerton based company. -- Honiton. It's | :21:11. | :21:17. | |
excellent news for the company. This is our first vehicle. We have | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
a production contract for two follow one vehicles. We are very | :21:21. | :21:29. | |
proud of it. This kind of kid comes at a price, to �0.5 million buys | :21:29. | :21:32. | |
boat and launched here. Fund- raising is under way to put more of | :21:32. | :21:40. | |
these life-savers into the water. I have to have mushy peas with mine | :21:40. | :21:44. | |
but whatever you like with one of the nation's favourite dishes, what | :21:44. | :21:46. | |
makes a really good fish-and-chip shop? | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
Plenty of salt and vinegar on mine. There is one in the south-west that | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
has just been named the best in the region for the 8th time. Our lucky | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
reporter has been sent along to Babbacombe to have a taste | :21:56. | :22:02. | |
deceiving. -- this evening. | :22:02. | :22:07. | |
I'm afraid I really am. It is back in here tonight but you cannot just | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
-- just cannot beat the smell of fish and chips. It's the truth. All | :22:11. | :22:16. | |
these people in south Devon know the secret that ham breeze is the | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
best fish and chip shop and the south-west. -- Hanbury. Hello. How | :22:23. | :22:27. | |
have you done it again? This is not the first time we've won this | :22:27. | :22:32. | |
accolade. I know, eight times. As remarkable. And so chuffed with | :22:32. | :22:42. | |
corset this year. We started in 1988, when we came second. This | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
year, we are hoping to win the whole competition. We have already | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
got the south-west. From this region it goes to Cornwall, right | :22:51. | :23:00. | |
up to Avon and Wiltshire, down to Dorset. Devon and Cornwall. It's a | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
fantastic achievement. I am really pleased for my staff as well as for | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
myself. Her think the secret question is, what is your special | :23:09. | :23:17. | |
secret? I think. You've got to be dedicated to it. I've been in this | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
for 30 years. You've got to have attention to detail. It got to be a | :23:22. | :23:28. | |
fusspot. I'm a very fussy about everything. I've instilled that | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
into my staff and my staff are very, very conscientious about giving | :23:32. | :23:38. | |
people good fish and chips. That is it, really. Experience comes into | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
it. Some of my people have been with me for a long time and that | :23:43. | :23:50. | |
helps to create the best fish and chip shop. A thank you for joining | :23:50. | :23:55. | |
us tonight. David and the team will not find out until next year if | :23:55. | :24:03. | |
they have won the national award. So fingers crossed for them. | :24:03. | :24:13. | |

To cod and chips with mushy peas, But there is more rain in the | :24:19. | :24:24. | |
forecast but perhaps not as bad as Sunday into Monday. Yes, there is | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
rain and the forecast. Compared to the rainfall we seen across the | :24:28. | :24:31. | |
North of England in the last day or so, not really as much as that but | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
still of the risk of heavy downpours and there will be slow- | :24:37. | :24:39. | |
moving showers through the afternoon. A lot going on at the | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
moment. That rainfall totals we've seen since Sunday up at around 60 | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
mm for many locations. For most of us, that is about two-thirds of the | :24:49. | :24:53. | |
total rainfall we normally expect to see in September. It shows you | :24:53. | :24:56. | |
how much rain of this new area of low pressure arrived on Sunday has | :24:56. | :25:00. | |
brought across Britain. It we are still at risk of seeing heavy rain | :25:00. | :25:04. | |
so there is a warning from the Met Office of further outbreaks of rain, | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
both tonight and tomorrow. It gets better as we move into Thursday and | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Friday, when EC better conditions, drier conditions and hopefully | :25:11. | :25:15. | |
respite from some of this heavy rain. The area of low pressure is | :25:15. | :25:18. | |
still across Britain at the moment. It is taking up the whole of the | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
scorn of the Atlantic and it is that area of low pressure that will | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
sink towards us overnight. As that happens, the centre of the low | :25:26. | :25:32. | |
across the south-west of what England so what we will see his | :25:32. | :25:35. | |
slow-moving showers. As we move into Thursday, the low-pressure | :25:35. | :25:42. | |
balls away. That is the picture from earlier today. He can see that | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
now there is a lot of colour in the picture. Brighter echoes from the | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
radar dot dot dot that is the more persistent rain. We will also see | :25:55. | :26:01. | |
showers. This was earlier today when it wasn't too bad. He has | :26:01. | :26:10. | |
showers were few and far between over this part of Devon. A there | :26:10. | :26:13. | |
are more showers to come this evening and one or two of the | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
showers or the longer spells of rain overnight could be quite heavy. | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
It could be quite breezy. As the centre of the loan is across as | :26:20. | :26:24. | |
later in the night, the winds willies. A wet pitch arise until | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
the early hours of the morning. We will continue to see the risk of | :26:27. | :26:29. | |
some quite beefy showers ride through the morning and into the | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
afternoon. They come -- become more isolated and second half of the day. | :26:34. | :26:39. | |
I tend images of nine or 10 degrees. Tomorrow morning, we will see some | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
sunny spells but also some frequent showers. They will become more | :26:43. | :26:46. | |
isolated into the afternoon. The brighter colours illustrate where | :26:46. | :26:50. | |
those will be. In between, brighter skies. Everything becomes slow | :26:50. | :26:53. | |
moving around the middle of the day because the centre of the low | :26:53. | :26:58. | |
pressure moves rise over us. These are the sort temperatures we can | :26:58. | :27:06. | |
expect. One place that could be the aisles -- quite breezy will be the | :27:07. | :27:16. | |
:27:17. | :27:33. |
