:05:24. > :05:28.the damage that was done to them by the weakening pound.
:05:29. > :05:30.So bad enough - although we've seen worse.
:05:31. > :05:39.Four years ago the losses were twice as bad.
:05:40. > :05:40.And today's news didn't rattle the investors,
:05:41. > :05:43.as they had already signalled that they were heading for a loss.
:05:44. > :05:49.Internal problem was that their website isn't good enough,
:05:50. > :05:54.and they're spending several million putting that right.
:05:55. > :05:56.The external problem was that they faced growth
:05:57. > :06:00.in competition at a time when consumer demand was falling.
:06:01. > :06:03.So they had too much capacity, too many planes.

:07:32. > :07:34.Victoria are out and about at the Royal Cornwall show. Thousands of
:07:35. > :07:36.people have arrived despite the weather.

:07:46. > :07:51.Several bikes a day are left at the island's main recycling
:07:52. > :07:54.centre, and many of them are sent to a community group to refurbish.
:07:55. > :08:02.Volunteers at the Community Hub are busy with a steady stream
:08:03. > :08:05.of bikes that have been abandoned or donated by their owners.
:08:06. > :08:10.A bit of TLC and they're ready for the road again.
:08:11. > :08:12.These bikes have come from the new Acorn Reuse Centre
:08:13. > :08:15.at La Collette which has nowhere to store them.
:08:16. > :08:19.With around 25 bikes a week being dropped off,
:08:20. > :08:22.deciding what to do with them has been a challenge and now they're
:08:23. > :08:29.It's a good problem to have when you're receiving so many.
:08:30. > :08:32.What we're going to go down the line of doing now is selling the bikes
:08:33. > :08:38.as maybe parts up at Acorn, over the coming next few weeks,
:08:39. > :08:41.where people can purchase the bike as a part or spares and maybe
:08:42. > :08:45.But this is where they get a new lease of life.
:08:46. > :08:49.These dedicated volunteers based at St Saviour's Hospital,
:08:50. > :08:53.are fixing all kinds of adult and children's bikes.

:08:56. > :08:59.Oh, we've been inundated and like everything else,
:09:00. > :09:02.with the weather, everyone's getting out on their bikes and people
:09:03. > :09:04.want their bikes looked at and they want to change
:09:05. > :09:06.their bikes so, it's like everything else,
:09:07. > :09:08.we don't know what's going to be coming in, we just
:09:09. > :09:13.These upcycled bikes can be claimed with a donation to the scheme
:09:14. > :09:20.and give more people a chance to get in the saddle.
:09:21. > :09:27.A fairly dull day in the islands but we hear things could be getting
:09:28. > :09:46.That's right. In and drive foremost tomorrow. Sunshine hazy later on.
:09:47. > :09:54.The cloud through today bringing us showers through this evening. This
:09:55. > :09:58.cold front is leading a way to the East overnight to eight and into
:09:59. > :10:03.tomorrow. Into Saturday at this low-pressure system. Most of the
:10:04. > :10:13.cloud associated with that will go through the main centre of the UK.
:10:14. > :10:16.Tonight we have cloud and if you showers. Tending to clear away
:10:17. > :10:24.through the course of the night. Staying quite easy. Tomorrow starts
:10:25. > :10:32.off cloudy for many of us but we should see that reading away. Drier
:10:33. > :11:03.and brighter. Sunshine hazy at times. That wind easing a little.
:11:04. > :11:11.Here is the outlook. It is not looking too bad. Tomorrow is mainly
:11:12. > :11:17.fine and dry. Good sunny spells. Cloud in the second part of the day.
:11:18. > :11:26.It may be thick enough for light rain. It clears to Saturday, mainly
:11:27. > :11:30.a fine and bright day. The chance of one or two showers coming in. It
:11:31. > :11:45.stays similar into the beginning of next week.
:11:46. > :11:49.I'll be back at eight with a news update but there is no late news
:11:50. > :11:51.because of the coverage of the General Election
:11:52. > :11:54.Tomorrow there will be continued election coverage and how
:11:55. > :11:57.the results may affect us here in the islands on both
:11:58. > :11:59.BBC Radio Jersey and Guernsey's breakfast programmes from six
:12:00. > :12:03.And we'll have more on that and all your local news from the BBC
:12:04. > :12:13.in the sea. It is time to take you on a tour of
:12:14. > :12:18.this huge Royal Cornwall Show. One of the places I love to come to
:12:19. > :12:23.every year is the Cornwall food and farming tent. I have been coming
:12:24. > :12:28.here for more than 25 years but what strikes me coming here every year is
:12:29. > :12:33.how important local food and drink is to people now. The range of
:12:34. > :12:38.products in here is now huge. But the quality is also phenomenal. You
:12:39. > :12:42.can get everything from gorgeous Cornish bread to Cornish gin,
:12:43. > :12:47.Cornish ducks, cheese, the list of things you can buy is endless.
:12:48. > :12:53.Yes, you can naturally buy everything at this show. Welcome to
:12:54. > :12:58.my home, if only. This could be your holiday home, a honeymoon suite, it
:12:59. > :13:03.is a cabin made from locally sourced products. I think I may stay here a
:13:04. > :13:05.while longer and shelter from the showers. You can take a look around
:13:06. > :13:12.the rest of the show. Despite the weather,
:13:13. > :13:15.it's business as usual. The sheep judging and
:13:16. > :13:17.chasing starts early. Inside the sheep tent, they've spent
:13:18. > :13:19.hours preening their animals. We have a carding brush which brings
:13:20. > :13:21.the fleece together. And then I will go over with a pair
:13:22. > :13:25.of hand shears and trim them. These piglets are warm
:13:26. > :13:36.and dry and, according And these piglets are keeping warm
:13:37. > :13:42.on a rooting mission. The chicks can keep
:13:43. > :13:44.warm under a heat lamp. Well, they keep themselves
:13:45. > :13:48.dry by wrapping up. Waterproofs and wellies
:13:49. > :13:52.are the uniform of the day. And if you're really fed up
:13:53. > :13:55.with the wind and the rain, you can come to the flower tent
:13:56. > :13:58.and find your own jungle. This display of palms
:13:59. > :14:01.has won a gold medal. There's almost
:14:02. > :14:04.a tropical feel in here. But outside, most people
:14:05. > :14:07.are prepared to brave it out. Perfect weather
:14:08. > :14:09.for a bit of dancing. Although some of the younger members
:14:10. > :14:16.of the audience are finding It is a bit muddy and slippery
:14:17. > :14:29.underfoot but not enough to affect these athletes who have
:14:30. > :14:36.taken every with ease. As the day moves on,
:14:37. > :14:43.the rain dies out and the clouds can -- crowds can catch
:14:44. > :14:45.a glimpse of the sunshine. Some of the animals are used
:14:46. > :14:48.to the bad weather. She came off the moor in November
:14:49. > :14:52.to the lady I ride for, And yes she's come for a bit
:14:53. > :14:59.of handling and a bit of time out. She is really good despite
:15:00. > :15:01.the weather being really windy. We brought her last
:15:02. > :15:03.night, she loaded off in the rain and wind,
:15:04. > :15:06.she's been really good. The perfect way to dry off
:15:07. > :15:09.is to come to the Cornwall food and farming tent where you can enjoy
:15:10. > :15:12.a well-earned cup of Food is important at
:15:13. > :15:18.the Royal Cornwall Show There are 1000 horses, ponies
:15:19. > :15:23.and donkeys on the showground, record numbers of pigs and record
:15:24. > :15:27.numbers of sheep this year. I love the way the shoppers stop
:15:28. > :15:32.in their tracks as the showing and judging happens,
:15:33. > :15:33.it is exciting. Behind every flock, heard and gaggle
:15:34. > :15:36.there are the farmers. I bumped into a couple
:15:37. > :15:42.of old friends from last year. You were trying to
:15:43. > :15:48.photobomb the camera shot? I get the feeling coming
:15:49. > :15:54.to these shows it is all Coming and showing your
:15:55. > :16:02.livestock, and competing Some people like to
:16:03. > :16:14.win at all costs. Others just like to compete
:16:15. > :16:16.and basically show your animals off And then hope that some
:16:17. > :16:21.days you will win. What does winning
:16:22. > :16:26.mean for your herd? It is always good to bring
:16:27. > :16:31.home the red rosette. It's a good showcase if you can
:16:32. > :16:35.say your animals have won In fact in our first year
:16:36. > :16:40.of showing, at the end of the season we had a big win,
:16:41. > :16:44.didn't we, Jim? We only went to the show because our
:16:45. > :16:52.daughter-in-law was judging horses. We thought if she is going to judge
:16:53. > :16:55.horses we will take the cows We happened to win the interbreed
:16:56. > :16:59.championship which was And for us what made it so special,
:17:00. > :17:09.it was the only time of the year we covered our cost to enter
:17:10. > :17:12.the show and enough money to buy For us, we went home
:17:13. > :17:16.very happy that day. It's nice to go off as a family
:17:17. > :17:23.and compete, and it works very well. What can we look
:17:24. > :17:28.forward to this year? We are hoping to get to one-day
:17:29. > :17:31.shows even though we have been restricted and not able to come
:17:32. > :17:33.here this year. We hope to go to four of the one-day
:17:34. > :17:37.shows and hopefully bring I'm really pleased we managed
:17:38. > :17:42.to talk again this year, when everyone is at the beginning
:17:43. > :17:46.of the show, rather than at the end We will catch up with you later,
:17:47. > :17:51.when you can lead one It was so good to see Jim
:17:52. > :18:12.and Jean again, as Jim said, the way to spot an animal
:18:13. > :18:16.who is a potential show winner from an early age is if it has a bit
:18:17. > :18:20.of sparkle and a bit naughty. The stars of the show
:18:21. > :18:24.are the animals. This year in the main ring these
:18:25. > :18:27.wonderful vintage Ferguson tractors We will see them in action
:18:28. > :18:33.in a moment but the man behind this idea is David Taylor
:18:34. > :18:35.who is with us, hello. What is the idea, what do
:18:36. > :18:46.these tractors do? They'll do acrobatics,
:18:47. > :18:49.not jumping over each other, I don't know if that
:18:50. > :18:57.was a good idea. You asked people to come forward
:18:58. > :19:04.and they came in their droves. We already have a
:19:05. > :19:08.tractor display team. We wanted something else last
:19:09. > :19:16.year, something new. The Ferguson would be 70
:19:17. > :19:19.years old so I thought we would have a tractor display
:19:20. > :19:21.team but different. A few women said they would love
:19:22. > :19:26.to do it so I put an advert in the parish magazine
:19:27. > :19:29.and on Facebook, 27 came forward. Getting people to make
:19:30. > :19:34.a fool of themselves, How often do they get together
:19:35. > :19:39.to practise the display? Some of the girls when they started
:19:40. > :19:49.couldn't even drive, they'd never Most of them are horse
:19:50. > :19:58.riders and got to grips. The second batch, it was white
:19:59. > :20:03.dresses, shoulder bags, flip-flops! Can't wait to see them in action,
:20:04. > :20:06.thank you for talking to us. John Henderson has been
:20:07. > :20:10.to see them in rehearsals. It is an agricultural
:20:11. > :20:13.marriage made in heaven. Or rather 16 women at the wheel
:20:14. > :20:22.of the TE20 Ferguson As displays go, it is
:20:23. > :20:36.hardly turbo-charged. The little grey Fergie has
:20:37. > :20:40.a top speed of 15mph. But
:20:41. > :20:42.the world's most famous mass-produced tractor has
:20:43. > :20:49.still got the wow factor. I like the bit where you were
:20:50. > :20:51.crossing, that looked quite good. Exactly, that is what we are aiming
:20:52. > :21:04.for, a bit of smoke! No prizes for guessing
:21:05. > :21:12.what this one is called. Cyclops belongs to my
:21:13. > :21:17.husband and he uses it every day to clean the
:21:18. > :21:19.beach. But then these beauties
:21:20. > :21:33.are over 60 years old. In the main, they've got more miles
:21:34. > :21:36.on the clock than their They have worked hard to

:21:44. > :21:46.the propeller takes a level of multitasking that arguably men

:21:50. > :21:57.been shouting and we've got to get this correct,
:21:58. > :21:59.but in the There are no radios,
:22:00. > :22:04.cushioned seats or other modern-day They're a no-frills
:22:05. > :22:22.vintage that the Fergie One of my favourite bits of the
:22:23. > :22:26.show, we saw them in the main ring, and they were superb, well done to
:22:27. > :22:31.the Fergie Fillies. I fancy a go at one of the machines,
:22:32. > :22:35.the way forward to get to work. Are you warming up?
:22:36. > :22:41.A little bit. You don't do it. I am freezing. Thank you to our
:22:42. > :22:46.brolly holders, Stuart and Sarah who went beyond the call of duty.
:22:47. > :22:48.Unfortunately, they have taken off and are somewhere over there.
:22:49. > :22:59.We will get them back later on. David is here, I am glad you are in
:23:00. > :23:04.one piece. Looking behind the camera in the
:23:05. > :23:08.distance to another massive shower, get some shelter.
:23:09. > :23:12.Good evening. We have had rain in the morning will stop and for a
:23:13. > :23:17.large part of the day we have also had some sunshine, not too bad apart
:23:18. > :23:20.from that wind. In the last few hours we have had big showers coming
:23:21. > :23:26.along. Let us summarised tomorrow, we will
