Welcome to inside-out. This is home to one of the most important | :00:10. | :00:14. | |
collections of vehicles in the country. We will be meeting | :00:14. | :00:19. | |
Britain's biggest fan of the Ford Transit van while we discover there | :00:19. | :00:23. | |
is only one Turkey on the minds of Southampton workers this Christmas | :00:23. | :00:28. | |
as jobs are going. You put your heart and soul into making | :00:28. | :00:34. | |
something work and you get no thanks for it. Also, arson. How a | :00:35. | :00:38. | |
pub landlord and himself -- his wife tried to cover their tracks as | :00:38. | :00:46. | |
they set light to their business. What a year it has been. We meet | :00:46. | :00:51. | |
some of the family struggling to cope with 2012's incredible | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
downfalls. I will be glad when 2012 has finished and we can get on with | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
hopefully a normal life in 2013. The citizens Saadi for the South of | :01:03. | :01:13. | |
:01:13. | :01:23. | ||
-- This is inside-out for the South I will explain why we have come | :01:23. | :01:29. | |
inside in just a moment. But first arson, it is thought every week in | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
the UK 2000 fires are started deliberately. The cost - �14 | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
million. When Hampshire Fire Investigation teams will call to a | :01:38. | :01:48. | |
:01:48. | :01:48. | ||
pub in Lymington, the cameras were there. Summer, 2011 and a local pub | :01:48. | :01:51. | |
is ablaze. Five people are inside when the alarm goes off. The | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
landlord and his dog are plucked to safety by firefighters. But is | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
everything as it seems? Mind you step down here. The arson | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
investigation team has been called in. We have come to the other end | :02:04. | :02:11. | |
of the building so we must have at least 10 metres walk. What you have | :02:11. | :02:14. | |
his plastic that has melted down from the emergency lighting. The | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
heat has got such in this room, it has melted lighting, the smoke | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
detector up there. This is good evidence as to why you should close | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
the doors. If you look to the damage to this rule and the damp -- | :02:28. | :02:32. | |
damage to the store, which was closed at the time, you can see him | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
there, the amount of damage which is considerably less. It's down to | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
Andy and his team to piece together where and how this fire started. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
The crews were met with a well- developed fire in the stairwell. | :02:47. | :02:51. | |
What happened originally, the occupiers were woken by the smoke | :02:51. | :02:57. | |
detector. The occupier found a fire in the bar area, and he could see | :02:57. | :03:02. | |
the flames under the door. there is a more worrying part to | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
:03:12. | :03:13. | ||
their story. If we push the door open. It would appear this mob was | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
in this position unlike so. This was used by whoever said the fire | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
to prevent anybody escaping. And it doesn't take long to sniff out | :03:25. | :03:30. | |
something's been used to start the blaze. We have evidence on the | :03:30. | :03:37. | |
carpet out here which is possibly liquid. And it has a petrol smell | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
to it. It will be taken away for scientific analysis. The landlord | :03:42. | :03:47. | |
told the firemen he had been blocked from getting out. This is | :03:47. | :03:52. | |
the Fyodor the gentleman tried to use to make escape with his family. | :03:52. | :03:56. | |
He was unable to open the door because this piece of timber was | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
wedged up against it. Someone had come round to the back of the | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
building and render the fire escape useless. With alarming stories from | :04:06. | :04:09. | |
the landlord and his family it was Andy's job to make sense of what | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
appeared to an appalling crime. have not seen anything like this | :04:15. | :04:19. | |
before where people have gone to the effort to block a fire exit and | :04:19. | :04:24. | |
blocked the door into the bar as well. Potentially trapping five | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
people within a property that has been set light to, with no means of | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
escape other than a window where they risk a fall from height. In | :04:33. | :04:37. | |
fact, one of the occupiers had to be rescued by fire crews on a | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
ladder. It is unusual. It was easy enough to work out an arsonist was | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
to blame, and the hunt was on to find the culprit. But in the end | :04:46. | :04:50. | |
they wouldn't have to look far. So that firefighters know how to spot | :04:50. | :04:52. | |
suspicious fires there's regular training at Hampshire Fire Service | :04:52. | :05:02. | |
:05:02. | :05:03. | ||
HQ in Eastleigh. We have a bed, or computer, a video. Stuff on the | :05:03. | :05:09. | |
walls. It is a room set up. We will set up a fire and hopefully we will | :05:09. | :05:14. | |
find the seat. We are looking for the seat of the fire. When you find | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
the seat of the fire you can establish the cause. But petrol | :05:19. | :05:23. | |
Virk, Labour trail down. The room is packed with red herrings - soon | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
to be smoked out. They could investigator will investigate every | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
possible cause when he gets to the seat of the fire. But will today's | :05:33. | :05:36. | |
students spot how this blaze was started? Back at Lymington, police | :05:36. | :05:39. | |
forensic teams are looking for clues. A nearby field is being | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
searched for any discarded fuel containers and the hunt is on for | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
finger prints. The Landlord's wife Mylinda Thomas has implicated her | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
brother - who she claims had been making threatening phone calls. He | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
will be exonerated and no charges or will it be brought against him. | :05:57. | :06:00. | |
When the breathing apparatus crews came to make an entrance, they | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
found signs of a forced entry through the toilet. When a window | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
is broken, you get glass fragments, microscopic incise coming back | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
towards the offender. They will be able to look at the clothing and | :06:15. | :06:19. | |
the glass fragments and tide that up to see if it is the same class. | :06:19. | :06:26. | |
It will put back person on this side at that particular time. | :06:26. | :06:28. | |
it's this evidence that will eventually lead police and fire | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
investigators to the culprits. So how are the students getting on | :06:31. | :06:36. | |
back at Hampshire Fire Service HQ? Obviously we have the least damaged | :06:36. | :06:46. | |
:06:46. | :06:46. | ||
at this end. The The new recruits get to work. Sooner they are hot on | :06:46. | :06:55. | |
the trail. What does that look like? Batteries. A lot of the | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
carpet has been consumed. There is nothing here to develop the fire in | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
this part. But we have had a serious fire in this part of the | :07:03. | :07:10. | |
room. I am thinking, has something been introduced? You get a bit of a | :07:10. | :07:14. | |
feel and think, not at all is right. Sometimes you cannot put your | :07:14. | :07:21. | |
finger on what is wrong, it just doesn't seem right. And back in | :07:21. | :07:23. | |
Lymington things definitely don't look right. What looked like | :07:24. | :07:26. | |
someone trying to burn down a landlord's beloved pub, now looks | :07:26. | :07:32. | |
like an inside job. On closer inspection during the investigation, | :07:32. | :07:36. | |
certain pieces of evidence did not tie up with what the gentleman was | :07:36. | :07:40. | |
telling us. Something just didn't seem right with the blocked back | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
door. Initial reports from a landlord at the property, it told | :07:45. | :07:48. | |
us of the door was a wedged shut and they were unable to escape | :07:48. | :07:54. | |
through it. When we looked at the door closely, there were salt | :07:54. | :07:59. | |
deposits, so the smoke particles had stuck to the door which | :07:59. | :08:03. | |
indicated the door had been open at the time of the fire. Police also | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
find a bag containing clothes, petrol and fragments of glass from | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
the bathroom window. They take it away but leave secret cameras to | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
see if the guilty parties will come back to get rid of this crucial | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
piece of evidence. And guess who comes back? The landlord and his | :08:15. | :08:23. | |
wife. And it seems obvious they're looking for the hidden bag. No | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
surprise then that last week, Dean and Melynda Thomas appeared in | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
court charged with arson. The prosecution claims the landlord | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
started the fire as they were heavily in debt and the pub | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
business was failing. It is a bit surprising people would do that. | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
However, these things to happen. Had they remained within the | :08:45. | :08:51. | |
property, I am quite confident we would have had fatalities due to | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
the level of the smoke. But it is worth remembering, it is not just | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
those people who were put at risk. There was the risks to responding | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
emergency crews. And the firefighters face an element of | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
danger when dealing with an incident like this. Two members of | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
the breathing apparatus crew got tangled in wires dropping down from | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
the ceiling and had to be cut free. Dean and Mylinda Thomas were found | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
guilty of life-threatening arson. The judge warned Dean he could face | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
a lengthy prison sentence. For I think a lot of people who commit | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
arson think they will get away with it. Otherwise they wouldn't do it. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
They are under the impression most of the evidence will be destroyed. | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
That is not the case. With the fire investigation and the crime scene | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
investigators, we often find the evidence people would have thought | :09:45. | :09:50. | |
to be destroyed and it enabled us to paint a fuller picture. In | :09:50. | :09:56. | |
Hampshire, the arrest rate is six times the national average and | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
conviction rate fasten in Hampshire is a massive 23 times the national | :10:00. | :10:09. | |
average. -- for our son. This you could call a forerunner of | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
the Ford transit. It has been a few months and workers at the | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
Southampton plans were told production would switch to Turkey. | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
Questions and accusations have flown as to how and why it was | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
allowed to happen. It is a sorry end to a great piece of British | :10:25. | :10:35. | |
:10:35. | :10:39. | ||
motoring history. Southampton's had a love affair with the Transit | :10:39. | :10:48. | |
since the first van rolled off its production line in 1972. Welcome to | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
transit land. There is a mobile library at the back. Ambulances, a | :10:55. | :11:01. | |
billion van, another Luton. I got my first fan in 1981 before I could | :11:01. | :11:09. | |
drive. You have heard of white van man. I am blue van woman. And they | :11:09. | :11:15. | |
are like part of the family. have dogs as well. We say dogs of | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
the dogs, the vans are the children. Yep, you've Guessed it - Fred | :11:20. | :11:23. | |
collects Ford Transits. But next year if she wants a shiny new one | :11:23. | :11:26. | |
it'll come from further affield as Ford moves the entire production of | :11:26. | :11:36. | |
:11:36. | :11:43. | ||
You do move heaven and earth for them. You choose between me and the | :11:43. | :11:50. | |
van. Two months ago Ford announced it was separating from the | :11:50. | :11:58. | |
Southampton factory which has love it for 40 years. Businesses and | :11:58. | :12:08. | |
:12:08. | :12:10. | ||
union leaders tried to save the marriage of a city and a farm. | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
angry at the way it has been handled. There is a genuine feeling | :12:16. | :12:26. | |
:12:26. | :12:30. | ||
of anger and disbelief. It is 2:30pm and these workers are coming | :12:30. | :12:37. | |
off shift. In six months' time the factory could fall silent. An | :12:37. | :12:41. | |
estimated �8 million it brings to the local economy could be lost. | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
Phil Mellor has worked here for her eight years. His father works here | :12:46. | :12:56. | |
:12:56. | :12:57. | ||
also as does his uncle. I am the main breadwinner. When you first | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
start here, you start with a pension, think in the future is | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
going to be bright. If something happens you have to start re- | :13:06. | :13:13. | |
evaluating everything. Things do not work out the way you expected. | :13:13. | :13:17. | |
Karen Sharp used to work at Ford in Dagenham but prettier in 1985 | :13:17. | :13:25. | |
thinking the job he was more secure. -- moved here in 1985. She is | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
counting pay packets until the factory closes. You put your heart | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
into making something work. You get no thanks for it. No respect. No | :13:37. | :13:42. | |
respect whatsoever. This will have such an effect and Southampton. It | :13:42. | :13:52. | |
:13:52. | :13:55. | ||
will be a domino effect. All the small businesses that rely on | :13:55. | :14:01. | |
Transit will close. It will have eyes huge impact. But a was of very | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
different for Ford in 1972. They grew production of the whole | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
Transit from Berkshire to Southampton. It brought an economic | :14:10. | :14:15. | |
boost to the area. Is there extra jobs for local people? I at the | :14:15. | :14:23. | |
moment about 700. A total workforce of 3,000. Further expansion plan? | :14:23. | :14:28. | |
We are always in the field for further expansion. We are thinking | :14:28. | :14:35. | |
ahead, planning ahead. We are always ready to expand. Ford says | :14:35. | :14:40. | |
what is necessary now is moving all production to Turkey. It comes | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
after the European Investment Bank granted Ford �80 million for its | :14:44. | :14:50. | |
plant. Labour costs are one third of what they are here. Two years | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
before that Ford received �450 million in alone encouraged by the | :14:55. | :14:58. | |
then they go government believing it would help keep jobs in it did | :14:58. | :15:04. | |
UK for some time to come. -- encouraged by the then Labour | :15:05. | :15:11. | |
government. We were told to keep the factory open and we would be | :15:11. | :15:20. | |
helped with loans. If the European Investment Bank knew what would | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
happen up in the European Union it might have been a different answer. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Did the European Investment Bank have all the facts when it agreed a | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
cheap loan to a motor manufacturing giant. -- a motor manufacturing | :15:35. | :15:42. | |
giant? The point about the Turkish loan was that all to the | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
development of the loan up to and including the approval of that loan, | :15:48. | :15:55. | |
it was clear that Ford expected to continue production at Southampton. | :15:55. | :16:00. | |
My understanding is that Ford only took the decision to close the | :16:00. | :16:07. | |
Southampton operation in October. You will have to talk to them about | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
the reasons why they made that decision. We went to the UK | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
headquarters to ask them. They confirmed that �80 million loan was | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
to update the Transit plant in Turkey but categorically exist it | :16:20. | :16:25. | |
had no bearing on the home of the Chadderton Southampton. -- | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
categorically insists. It has no direct impact on Southampton. It | :16:35. | :16:39. | |
was not to achieve incremental capacity. It was Updating the plant | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
in preparation for the new vehicle that was coming forward. Our | :16:44. | :16:48. | |
decisions have been driven by Very Severe economic crisis in Europe | :16:48. | :16:54. | |
which has had a knock-on effect on the vehicle sales. Vehicle sales | :16:54. | :17:01. | |
are down by 25 %. That has left us with the situation where we have | :17:01. | :17:08. | |
too much capacity chasing too few customers. Ford says the �450 | :17:08. | :17:11. | |
million it got two years ago was spent on research and development | :17:11. | :17:15. | |
in Dunton. Amongst other things they were looking at a new low | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
carbon engine which will be built in the UK. Good news for Essex boys | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
and girls, not much comfort for workers at Southampton. At this | :17:26. | :17:29. | |
point the decision has been made by executives and destroyed. The best | :17:29. | :17:35. | |
we can do as local members is get the best redundancy package. -- | :17:35. | :17:43. | |
executives in Detroit. There is a big package therefore afford's own | :17:43. | :17:46. | |
employees. There are people who work here who are not direct | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
employees. They have been offered that in like the same terms and | :17:50. | :17:57. | |
conditions. This man is lucky. He has a redundancy package. He would | :17:57. | :18:01. | |
prefer to keep his job. Some of the contractors are not getting what we | :18:02. | :18:10. | |
have got. I feel sorry for them. What ever you get is never going to | :18:10. | :18:15. | |
be enough. What is your future. You have made plans. That has all come | :18:15. | :18:23. | |
out the window. I do not know what figure you can put on that. We are | :18:23. | :18:30. | |
currently engaged in talking with employees about their options. Once | :18:30. | :18:34. | |
they have considered the terms that are on offer, whether the good | :18:34. | :18:38. | |
fight to stay with us, advocate and the redeployment opportunities, | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
there are generous provisions for those who want to stay with us. | :18:40. | :18:50. | |
:18:50. | :18:51. | ||
Those discussions are happening now on a one-to-one basis. My mother | :18:51. | :18:58. | |
worked at Dagenham. My father turned round to me and said a few | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
years ago if Turkey takes off Southampton will not be here any | :19:01. | :19:10. | |
longer. It will be gone. He said that seven years ago. He said that | :19:10. | :19:20. | |
:19:20. | :19:32. | ||
the writing would be on the wall of Fred is still doting on her | :19:32. | :19:39. | |
increasingly rare Southampton made fan collection. This is a 76 fan. | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
That could have come from Southampton. The consultation | :19:43. | :19:50. | |
period ends in January next year. You are on a housing estate. You're | :19:50. | :20:00. | |
out with your mates. You hear this. There is that the sound of the | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
1970s? It seems factory workers are not the only ones wishing some | :20:05. | :20:15. | |
things did not have to change. If you have been affected by the | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
news that Ford to let me know. Hundreds of families across the | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
region are facing a miserable Christmas because of the flooding. | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
It has been an unprecedented year for weather. We have been following | :20:32. | :20:35. | |
one Dorset village as it tries to get back on track after a series of | :20:35. | :20:42. | |
extraordinary events. Much of the South of England is | :20:42. | :20:47. | |
chalk country. Usually that is good news. Chalk acts like a sponge and | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
regulates water that goes into our rivers and cover of her taps, | :20:51. | :20:58. | |
holding it until we need more. Shortly after a drought was | :20:58. | :21:08. | |
:21:08. | :21:11. | ||
announced in 2012 the spans became very wet. -- comes out of our taps. | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
Usually the Winterbournes only has running streams in winter. At the | :21:15. | :21:20. | |
height of what should have been the summer the stream became dangerous. | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
Ground water began to force its way up through flowers and gardens. | :21:26. | :21:36. | |
That target came up. I thought I had this book in a house. I laughed. | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
Then it came through. It was a torrent. It went up the wall. It | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
was like a shower. It came straight up through the carpet. There was no | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
time. You can still hear it under the floorboards. It was pandemonium. | :21:51. | :22:00. | |
We ran out into the street. There was pandemonium in the road. It had | :22:00. | :22:07. | |
burst its banks within one hour. Framed by Hell's Winterbourne Abbas | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
was sitting on a header tank. The first week in July brought to be | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
times the expected rainfall for the month. Standing on chalk. It is | :22:18. | :22:27. | |
full of water. The force of that water is fortunate that to | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
weaknesses in the rock. If that happens to be in somebody's front | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
room it is of such a pressure that it forces its way up through | :22:35. | :22:43. | |
floorboards. There is a lot of pressure involved here. Natural | :22:43. | :22:49. | |
forces at work. The water came up there. It lifted the plant pot. A | :22:49. | :22:55. | |
plump woman flying across the room. It exploded in here. Right through | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
into my dining room. It came straight up in the hallway into the | :23:00. | :23:05. | |
kitchen. When I would doubt the back, there was raw sewage pouring | :23:05. | :23:14. | |
in. British Geological Survey and universities are researching the | :23:14. | :23:19. | |
ground. They point out that some measures which might help drain | :23:19. | :23:24. | |
water a we could have a negative affect in times of drought. They | :23:24. | :23:28. | |
should be perfect places to live next to. That is why people built | :23:28. | :23:32. | |
mills next to them for centuries. The water is controllable most of | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
the time. It rises and falls with the season. It is good for | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
Agriculture. That is why people have flocked to them for ages past. | :23:41. | :23:45. | |
Every now and again you get deluges of rain in winter, out of winter | :23:45. | :23:52. | |
where we are at the moment, and that has some of the and impact. In | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
1955 a village down the road at 270 mm of rain in 24 hours. That was a | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
British record. It happens every now and again. If you were in the | :24:05. | :24:11. | |
wrong place at the wrong time it will have devastating consequences. | :24:11. | :24:19. | |
This car it was only down in October. -- this car that. | :24:19. | :24:25. | |
I could hear gurgling noises. The garden was very soggy. It was only | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
when my partner had gone to bed and also steered let the light on in | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
the garage. By open the garage door and all the water poured in. You | :24:37. | :24:41. | |
that has got to wait. That is a heartbreaking thing. You cannot do | :24:41. | :24:48. | |
anything about it. It is horrible. They every time it rains a start | :24:48. | :24:53. | |
trembling. In the local guesthouse Jane Deller found springs extolling | :24:53. | :25:02. | |
through her floor. Just in the corner there. We have never had | :25:02. | :25:10. | |
water in. There is a spring that is coming all the way along here. The | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
water is bubbling right up. You just have to give up and admit | :25:18. | :25:23. | |
defeat. We had no idea it was happening. My | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
husband and son were busy helping the couple in the cottage next door | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
who had the river flowing into their house. I was busy moving | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
staff around their thinking we would be careful. I walked into my | :25:36. | :25:42. | |
store room and found a paddle. I decided to try and what that up. -- | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
at puddle. The water was just streaming up to the floor. Within | :25:46. | :25:55. | |
one hour the whole of the back area was flooded. | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Disasters do not just happen in one day. With Christmas just over one | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
week away many families are still struggling to get back to normal. | :26:02. | :26:09. | |
Come in and have a look. It is a disaster at the moment. | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
We're getting there slowly. This is phase one. Last time you were here | :26:16. | :26:21. | |
- red carpet. Complete the ruined. It thing is complete been ruined. | :26:21. | :26:27. | |
It have to be stripped out. It could not try. -- it would not | :26:27. | :26:35. | |
drive. This is as far as we have got. | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
Hoped next week builders will come in. I have not been at work for | :26:39. | :26:42. | |
five weeks because I was offered stress. I am going back on Thursday. | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
I have gone as far as I can go. The rest is down to the insurance | :26:47. | :26:52. | |
company and the builders. How will you remember 2012? It was a | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
nightmare. The Olympics came and went. I did not see any of it. I | :26:56. | :27:05. | |
was too busy dealing with this. guest house manage to stay open for | :27:05. | :27:14. | |
the season. With the builders now in it is gales. -- chaos. It has | :27:14. | :27:22. | |
been miserable. Everything has been messy. My home has not been my own. | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
Little things like putting a washing machine on - I have got to | :27:26. | :27:34. | |
negotiate past builders, cement mixers, planks across floors. It | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
has been a misery. We have got through it. We have got to worse. I | :27:41. | :27:51. | |
:27:51. | :27:53. | ||
am still smiling. At least the floor is going back in now. It is a | :27:53. | :28:03. | |
:28:03. | :28:07. | ||
positive thing. I will be glad when 2012 is | :28:07. | :28:17. | |
:28:17. | :28:24. | ||
The best of luck took everyone the year. We are back on January 7th | :28:24. | :28:29. |
