Hello from the New Forest. Welcome to Inside Out. Here's what is | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
coming up. Cold callers are cashing in on global warming. How not to | :00:14. | :00:24. | |
:00:24. | :00:26. | ||
get your fingers burned on carbon credits. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
More attacks on arteries as Britain tries to tackle problem diseases | :00:31. | :00:38. | |
and problem pests. If we don't act soon, we will end up with a | :00:38. | :00:44. | |
landscape which is just like a scrub, almost. | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
And underwater archaeology. Unique clues to life in prehistoric | :00:49. | :00:56. | |
southern England. The first waves of colonisation are following the | :00:56. | :01:03. | |
last Ice Age. It is the backbone to British history. This is Inside Out | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:20. | ||
First tonight, we're always told we should your bit to save the planet. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
So if somebody says you can do just that and make a bit of money, you | :01:25. | :01:30. | |
might be tempted. Welcome to the world of carbon trading. A world | :01:30. | :01:36. | |
that is causing some people to see red over going green. The | :01:36. | :01:41. | |
temperature is rising and the planet is heating up. Experts say a | :01:41. | :01:46. | |
major factor is the production of greenhouse gases, predominantly | :01:46. | :01:51. | |
carbon dioxide. As we try to wean ourselves of fossil fuels, sea | :01:51. | :01:56. | |
levels are rising and vast areas of the Earth are turning to dust. Time | :01:56. | :02:03. | |
is running out. We have discovered a Winchester company cashing in on | :02:03. | :02:10. | |
the planet's pride by ripping off people with carbon credits. Enviro | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
Associates could be damaging an industry which is tackling global | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
warming. There are many ways of tackling climate change. Gone is | :02:19. | :02:24. | |
carbon credits, where companies in effect a make up for the pollution | :02:24. | :02:30. | |
they create -- one hears. A carbon credit is the equivalent of one | :02:30. | :02:35. | |
Cuba tonne of carbon dioxide. The cash paid for it is usually | :02:35. | :02:37. | |
invested in environmentally friendly and ethically responsible | :02:37. | :02:47. | |
:02:47. | :02:47. | ||
project. Indoor air pollution kills 2 million people a year. Projects | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
like this Africa and coke stove which was paid for by carbon | :02:50. | :03:00. | |
:03:00. | :03:06. | ||
credits. -- Pook stove. -- cook. It uses 80 % less would then be | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
regular fire. The accumulative emissions from something like this | :03:11. | :03:17. | |
are huge, all the way across the developing world. The stoves help | :03:17. | :03:19. | |
to prevent the deforestation and cut down on respiratory disease, | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
the biggest killer in the Third World. So, with carbon credits, who | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
is buying them? Usually, it is extremely responsible companies who | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
have already reduced as much as they possibly can internally, and | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
they want to take responsibility for their residual emissions. | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
Everyone from car manufacturers like Land Rover to large | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
supermarkets, down to small businesses and individuals. Carbon | :03:49. | :03:52. | |
finance is making a real difference in the lives of some of the poorest | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
people in the world on the planet today. But where somebody is doing | :03:55. | :04:00. | |
some good, there is always somebody trying to ruin the party. Tony | :04:00. | :04:06. | |
knows all about carbon credits. He was called called by in London | :04:06. | :04:11. | |
company -- called called. You're doing your bit for the environment. | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
Are these people? Absolutely nothing for the environment. | :04:16. | :04:21. | |
Everything to try to enrich themselves as -- at other people's | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
expenses. They are targeting older men, and rarely women. They are | :04:27. | :04:31. | |
targeting older people with money because they believe things and | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
they're more trusting. All the people tend to have savings. | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
there are also quite clever because there is this feel good about | :04:39. | :04:44. | |
helping the environment. Yes, you're helping something that is | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
green, you're helping combat global warming and doing all these | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
wonderful things. Of course, you're not, you're putting huge sums of | :04:52. | :05:01. | |
money into their pockets. Wonderful, thank you very much. Meet Luke Ryan. | :05:01. | :05:11. | |
His very proud of his green credentials. -- he is. It's Luke | :05:11. | :05:15. | |
Ryan. He is director of Enviro Associates, and he's got a great | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
idea to make a lot of money. The Financial Services Authority has | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
recently warned the public to be aware of cold calls from | :05:23. | :05:28. | |
salespeople offering carbon credits as an investment, because it is | :05:28. | :05:35. | |
just too complicated. But that hasn't stopped Luke Ryan of Enviro | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
Associates of Southgate Street herein Winchester from selling | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
carbon credits. One of his salesmen cold called a producer and claimed | :05:44. | :05:52. | |
carbon credits were an investment opportunity not to be missed. | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
still on a promotional offer, �5.50. What will they be worth when they | :05:57. | :06:04. | |
come to sell them? They have to sell at �16, so we could | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
potentially per share prices up, possibly to �14. We believe Enviro | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
Associates and Luke Ryan were misleading us, but over have been | :06:15. | :06:21. | |
floating the prices of their carbon credits. -- by over in plating. So | :06:21. | :06:25. | |
we arranged a meeting with blue choir, he thought we had �10,000 to | :06:25. | :06:31. | |
spend. -- with Luke Ryan. We showed our findings to Edward Hanrahan, a | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
member of the legitimate Cup and Industry. At first, Luke Ryan is | :06:38. | :06:48. | |
:06:48. | :06:51. | ||
difficult to pin down. An expert is not impressed if. That is | :06:51. | :06:56. | |
absolutely not true. He is creating a figure which is 100 times more | :06:56. | :07:03. | |
than the actual figure. Luke Ryan finally gets into his stride and | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
offers are husband-and-wife team a discount of one pound 50 on the | :07:08. | :07:17. | |
retail price of �7. It's not that we couldn't sell them at �7, but | :07:17. | :07:21. | |
surely it is more attractive but bypass 50? So if we have got the | :07:21. | :07:25. | |
opportunity to sell the match by pounds 50, we want to get excited - | :07:25. | :07:35. | |
:07:35. | :07:35. | ||
- sell them at �5.50. What an offer. Credits for that particular | :07:35. | :07:42. | |
projects fell from 25p but town up to about 90p per tonne -- fell. | :07:42. | :07:49. | |
but he is quitting seven how stunned �5.50 because it is a | :07:49. | :07:59. | |
:07:59. | :08:05. | ||
special discount? �7 -- he is quoting �7 down to �5.54. In a | :08:06. | :08:15. | |
year's time, it could be 12, �13. would be absolutely amazed if it | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
was even �5.50 in a year's time. It is not worth that now, it is only | :08:23. | :08:28. | |
worth between 20p and 90p. Just because you're paying that much for | :08:28. | :08:38. | |
:08:38. | :08:52. | ||
something, doesn't mean it is worth bypass 50. -- a -- �5.50. What | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
these guys are doing is asking you to buy it bottle of milk today | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
because there will be a world milk shortage in 10 years' time. | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
Although Luke Ryan makes it clear the sale of carbon credits is | :09:04. | :09:12. | |
unregulated, he says are many will be held at in an account protected | :09:12. | :09:18. | |
by the Financial Services Authority. This is completely untrue. It is | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
something extra to help build a bit of trust and confidence and | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
security with purchasing carbon credits. Nick Ryan has got a lot of | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
upfront claiming the financial- services authority will protect | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
your money -- you acquired. He was previously banned by the FSA for | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
selling shares using high-pressure phone techniques. The FSA said he | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
and his fellow directors would pose a serious risk if they were to act | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
as senior managers in an authorised firm. And then there is this, the | :09:56. | :10:04. | |
internet advert which claims their company is regulated by the | :10:04. | :10:08. | |
Financial Services Authority. The very organisation that has warned | :10:08. | :10:16. | |
against businesses just like his. Enviro Associates agreed the | :10:16. | :10:24. | |
internet advert is misleading, and say they have removed it. They say: | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
They also say they use the services provided by a company which is | :10:28. | :10:34. | |
regulated to emphasise the integrity and validity of their | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:47. | ||
Enviro Associates justified its price market by comparing carbon | :10:47. | :10:54. | |
credits to Milken a supermarket -- price Markup by comparing carbon | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
credits to milk in a supermarket. It makes me very annoyed because it | :11:01. | :11:06. | |
is giving a very bad name to a highly valuable part of the fight | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
against climate change. To create community-based projects that | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
alleviate poverty and deliver real increases in public health. That is | :11:19. | :11:28. | |
what the voluntary carbon market is really designed to do. People are | :11:28. | :11:36. | |
told that they will make fantastic gains and some of them, the victims, | :11:36. | :11:46. | |
:11:46. | :11:49. | ||
their critical faster -- faculty's get switched off. They are blind to | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
anything else, and that is what these guys were riled. Ultimately, | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
as long as people are going to believe the unbelievable, this sort | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
of thing is going to happen. It is disgraceful. They should go to | :12:01. | :12:11. | |
:12:11. | :12:12. | ||
And if you think you have got a story for me, you know the e-mail. | :12:12. | :12:18. | |
Next, the New Forest is one of our most loved ancient woodlands. As | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
the government tries to stop the spread of ash dieback disease, some | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
aspect -- experts are saying more should have been done sooner. They | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
say are other threats to our trees are not being taken seriously | :12:30. | :12:40. | |
:12:40. | :12:43. | ||
They made England green and pleasant. They give first seasons | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
of colour. They have been with us since we were children. And they | :12:50. | :12:57. | |
are even planted in memory of our loved ones. Trees are essential to | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
life as we know it. Every routes, every branch, has an important role | :13:03. | :13:10. | |
to play. There is a hidden threat, something silently killing, often | :13:10. | :13:14. | |
going unnoticed. If we are dead act sooner we will end up with and | :13:15. | :13:24. | |
:13:25. | :13:25. | ||
landscape that looks like a moonscape. Pests and diseases are | :13:25. | :13:33. | |
threatening the very existence of the trees we laugh. This year 4,500 | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
trees in Kent have had to be felled and burnt. The cause of all this | :13:39. | :13:44. | |
destruction is the people around three centimetres long. It is | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
called the Asian longhorn beetle and it is thought to have travelled | :13:47. | :13:52. | |
here on wood packaging imported from China. It is not fussy, will | :13:52. | :13:59. | |
go for anything. The only trees that have escaped, eight hectors, | :13:59. | :14:06. | |
are, first, eucalyptus and English oak. Everything else has gone. | :14:06. | :14:15. | |
beetle larvae cause the damage by burying inside the park and eating | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
would -- inside the bark and eating the wood. It is the most | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
destructive tree best UK has had to face. Both the Forestry Commission | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
and Food and Environment Agency are desperate to stop it spreading. | :14:27. | :14:31. | |
They have even brought in sniffer dogs from Austria to hunt down any | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
traces of the insect that may remain. In 2009 we started with | :14:37. | :14:43. | |
detection with dogs. The visual control is not enough for the | :14:43. | :14:49. | |
detection. Why has there been an increase in the number of pests and | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
diseases entering our country over the past few years. Many believe it | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
is due to be allowance of free trade between European Union | :15:00. | :15:05. | |
countries. You have free trade between nations, so the normal | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
strict quarantine rules are modified and slackened, to allow | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
this to happen. You get free trade in goods and services which what | :15:14. | :15:19. | |
Brussels wants, but you get freed - - free trade in pests and diseases. | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
Is the government doing enough? Martin what is responsible for core | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
mating plant health policy across the UK. You are in charge of | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
containing the crisis. We have always had new arrivals, it would | :15:36. | :15:43. | |
be impossible to keep everything out. We consult every year and | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
several new pests and diseases we have found, and we target action | :15:47. | :15:52. | |
against those which cause the most damage. We'd certainly agree we | :15:52. | :15:57. | |
need to get better at anticipating threats. Why not have stricter | :15:57. | :16:02. | |
restrictions on imported plants or material, one of quarantine them? | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
We have to be able to justify any controls, controls or movements | :16:07. | :16:11. | |
between the EU or imports from third countries on the basis of | :16:11. | :16:15. | |
scientific evidence and we have to consult all the stakeholders that | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
might be affected. People were to be able to move plants around the | :16:19. | :16:25. | |
world, import exotic plants, it is not so simple as to be able to stop | :16:25. | :16:30. | |
all trade. But they are importing pillars of our tree population. | :16:30. | :16:36. | |
That is justification, surely? need to make sure we are importing | :16:36. | :16:41. | |
goods without the pests. These pests and diseases are threatening | :16:41. | :16:45. | |
our landscape and commercial woodland. There was a bigger risk. | :16:45. | :16:52. | |
It is not just the tree's health, it is our health as well. Another | :16:52. | :16:57. | |
test is the a procession remark. If it is thought to have arrived on a | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
truce from the Dutch nursery been 2005. If the infested trees had | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
eggs on the branches which are very hard to spot, even with an expert | :17:06. | :17:13. | |
eye. Once hatched the caterpillar produces thousands of toxic tears. | :17:13. | :17:17. | |
They can kill animals, give people a nasty rash, and in rare cases | :17:17. | :17:23. | |
caused much more serious symptoms. You can get severe itching, | :17:23. | :17:27. | |
dermatitis, pharyngitis, laryngitis. There are cases where there are | :17:27. | :17:31. | |
schools in Germany where they are frightened to open the windows for | :17:31. | :17:34. | |
their pupils in summer because they are frightened of the toxic tears | :17:34. | :17:42. | |
coming in. In Bromley in Kent there has been an outbreak and this tree | :17:42. | :17:46. | |
surgeon is working to control it. Some trees are completely clean. | :17:46. | :17:53. | |
The tree next to it could have 60, 70 nests. On this site so far we | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
have removed in excess of 1,200 nests. So far it has been treated | :18:02. | :18:06. | |
as a tree on problem so all the actions are being led by the | :18:06. | :18:09. | |
Forestry Commission but on the Continent it is treated as public | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
health issue. If something is treated as a public health issue | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
that automatically increases the political will, the resources | :18:17. | :18:22. | |
available, public awareness, which will then help manage it. | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
Germany the government pays for the removal of oak possession room off, | :18:26. | :18:30. | |
but in the UK if you find a nest in your garden you have to take to | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
remove it. Local authorities have to pay if it is in a public place. | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
Dr Ma but police this cost means action is often avoided. If the | :18:44. | :18:49. | |
government spent a few hundred �1,000 backing 2060 control some | :18:49. | :18:52. | |
infected trees in Ealing and Richmond look at the savings they | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
could have made it has been in this country for six years. If you are | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
taken swift action we would be the situation we're in now. You can | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
always do more and we have to work with it the resources we have | :19:04. | :19:12. | |
available. The action that has been taken on a procession him off with | :19:12. | :19:18. | |
landowners is working at limiting the spread on a now. We don't | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
expect to be eradicated from west London but we are intending to live | :19:22. | :19:29. | |
at the stroke -- bread. Now ash dieback has been discovered in the | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
UK countryside. Maybe it is time to be more vigilant when it comes to | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
protecting trees from unwelcome pests and diseases. Like millions | :19:40. | :19:44. | |
of people in this country I love the native woodlands. I was say to | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
people the way things are going, if you appreciate you wouldn't, one to | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
remember what they look like, you get have a look at them now because | :19:51. | :20:00. | |
the way things are going they will look completely different 20 years' | :20:00. | :20:08. | |
time for. Have you ever wondered what lurks beneath the Solent? | :20:08. | :20:12. | |
Would you believe, a vast ancient world there was once inhabited by | :20:12. | :20:17. | |
humans. Fighter called for me, so we sent John MacIntyre Downer -- | :20:17. | :20:24. | |
far too cold for me. -- we sent a MacIntyre down there. | :20:24. | :20:32. | |
These marine archaeologists are heading into the sea and I am | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
filming the dive. It is a rare opportunity to investigate the | :20:35. | :20:41. | |
unique underwater site. The team know they were in a race against | :20:41. | :20:45. | |
time to collect vital clues about the origins of British life. We are | :20:45. | :20:49. | |
heading to the north-west coast of the Isle of Wight, to the site of a | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
settlement that existed 8,000 years ago, when the Continent and Britain | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
were still linked, and the English Channel had yet to be formed. Most | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
of this water was once land. But then the sea level raised and it | :21:05. | :21:11. | |
disappeared under the waves. Divers from the Hampshire Trust for | :21:11. | :21:14. | |
maritime archaeology a working tirelessly to uncover evidence of | :21:14. | :21:18. | |
civilisation, Bury for thousands of years by a protective blanket of | :21:18. | :21:23. | |
sediment. -- buried. In the cold murky Solent waters the site is now | :21:23. | :21:31. | |
under threat because of a regime. Today we are working on the site | :21:31. | :21:35. | |
there was a land bridge to the Isle of Wight and joint to France | :21:35. | :21:39. | |
further down. This is a river valley, there was a campsite near | :21:39. | :21:48. | |
it, people swapping flints for things, hunter-gatherers. They | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
found huts, or kicking things, -- cooking things. The site is about | :21:55. | :22:05. | |
:22:05. | :22:06. | ||
200 metres long. A we will get down, get orientated, and then... Gary | :22:06. | :22:11. | |
has been directing the investigation for 15 years. This is | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
about 30 centimetres deep, and on the base a few more pieces of | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
Mesolithic, middle stone-age work. Quo vulnerable on the floor, this | :22:21. | :22:31. | |
:22:31. | :22:34. | ||
The evidence of this archaeological mystery and a busy first came to | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
light in the 1970s when there was in oyster fishing industry of the | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
Isle of Wight. The fishermen brought up artifacts in their | :22:41. | :22:48. | |
catches, which proved a revelation to the maritime community. I was | :22:48. | :22:53. | |
astonished at the things they will finding, it was another world. I | :22:53. | :22:56. | |
think I have been misled by so many people by the map. You just see | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
blue UN up and think it is a liquid plane. It is hills and valleys | :23:03. | :23:10. | |
under the water. The oyster fishing industry was incredibly boring, and | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
in the winter and cold and wet, and to spice this up anything that came | :23:14. | :23:18. | |
up in the dredge that wasn't an oyster and looks interesting kept | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
us occupied. Did use of thing to lookout. Including this sort of the | :23:24. | :23:30. | |
rich are up Mesolithic flint axes. They gave us the thrill, when you | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
pick one of these out of the dredger, hoping to get it before | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
the jet working alongside you get it, you're the first person to | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
judge that from 6,000 BC, 1000 years ago, still gives me a thrill | :23:43. | :23:48. | |
now, actually, holding it here today. We have arrived at this | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
ancient site which we are about to die for. The idea is city marketed | :23:53. | :23:58. | |
their evidence throughout the day which will help them put together | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
this jigsaw puzzle to find out exactly what charity lived here all | :24:02. | :24:07. | |
those thousands of years ago. The tides and currents of the Solent | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
are notoriously strong. So the dive to have to work in especially | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
challenging conditions. Gary uses an in-built microphone to talk us | :24:16. | :24:25. | |
:24:26. | :24:30. | ||
through what he finds. We have 1,000 think about 10 metres long. | :24:30. | :24:40. | |
:24:40. | :24:41. | ||
It is still lying here after 1000 years. If it was alive today you | :24:41. | :24:46. | |
would see some branches sticking out the water. The tree was part of | :24:46. | :24:50. | |
a vast forest, Gary has brought up pieces of wood to examine back in | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
the lab. Some of it resembles parts of a log boat or canoe, all of us | :24:57. | :25:03. | |
suggesting this was once a significant but building site. -- | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
boat-building. But Gary is also interested in taking sediment from | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
the sea bed itself to give us more clues about what went on. It is | :25:14. | :25:22. | |
difficult -- getting difficult than here. The tide has picked up and | :25:22. | :25:32. | |
:25:32. | :25:34. | ||
The fall Gary the results of their dive amount to nothing more than | :25:34. | :25:41. | |
finding a time capsule. We started off here with a layer, Arnold Lunn | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
surface. That is where we are finding the evidence. There appears | :25:47. | :25:51. | |
to be some kind of flood a build-up of sediment, year on year, then | :25:51. | :26:01. | |
:26:01. | :26:02. | ||
going back in time to this one here, 8,100 and. The final inundation was | :26:02. | :26:07. | |
7990 years ago and then you get to a bit beyond here to repeat -- | :26:07. | :26:11. | |
reveal this deposit which has got compressed on the seabed. I have | :26:11. | :26:17. | |
got another sample which came with it. This is the same sample, Pete, | :26:17. | :26:24. | |
it is like breaking open a fossil. All these layers of branches and | :26:24. | :26:34. | |
:26:34. | :26:37. | ||
you even get leaves preserved in a stable environment, see how well | :26:37. | :26:44. | |
that has been preserved. It have been buried a few weeks ago. It is | :26:45. | :26:54. | |
:26:55. | :26:55. | ||
compacted, you are not put a bit. That is a bit of Bach. -- Bach. You | :26:55. | :27:04. | |
don't find this on land, this material, this is well under the | :27:04. | :27:10. | |
water in its depths. As well as natural vegetation there are also | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
it -- they are also finding material that has been worked by | :27:13. | :27:22. | |
human hands. This charcoal, the fat lots and lots of it. They have been | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
heating or carbonised in the wood, burning it, so they could Pricket | :27:27. | :27:33. | |
and fashion it said the work there would with a flint tools. The start | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
of the industrial process. Laws of evidence indicating we have got an | :27:37. | :27:46. | |
industrial site. Changes in the structure of the sea bed itself | :27:46. | :27:50. | |
mean the site is now rapidly eroding. The divers need to find | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
out as much as they can before the story of the last people to live | :27:55. | :28:04. | |
It is a site that is revealing information about a period in | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
history we know little about. about the people that came and | :28:08. | :28:12. | |
occupied Britain before we separated from north-west Europe. | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
It is the first waves of colonisation, following the last | :28:16. | :28:26. | |
:28:26. | :28:27. | ||
Ice Age. It is the backbone to John MacIntyre there, last seen | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
heading for a very hot bath. I will see you next week for more stories | :28:31. | :28:41. | |
