:13:07. > :13:09.A quick check reveals the badge was stolen.
:13:10. > :13:13.It's a criminal offence being in possession of a stolen article, and
:13:14. > :13:16.it's a criminal offence to display a blue badge which is not v`lid

:14:44. > :14:45.The two most popular suggestions are adding more attractions to boost

:15:38. > :15:40.create a big splash pad that could be used longer during the ydar.
:15:41. > :15:43.We have done our sums and wd believe the splash pad would save

:16:45. > :16:51.Berkshire and acknowledged there were still interested partids, but
:16:52. > :16:56.the bid from a Thai businessman was the front runner. I think the fans
:16:57. > :17:02.know what is going on and they will be rewarded. I am just trying to
:17:03. > :17:07.find somebody to take over Reading who has the right credentials, is
:17:08. > :17:11.the right kind of person. Wd can never be 100% safe on any of that I
:17:12. > :17:16.am trying to do my very best and that is what we are all tryhng to do
:17:17. > :17:20.here. And you can hear the full interview with Sir John Maddjski on
:17:21. > :17:27.BBC radio Berkshire tomorrow. There is a game on tonight, take off in
:17:28. > :17:33.Sao Paulo a few days ago. Adam Lallana is on the bench, Danny
:17:34. > :17:40.Welbeck referred against Urtguay. Ten minutes to go. In an interview
:17:41. > :17:45.with BBC sport, he set us up for a nerve tingling night. When xou're
:17:46. > :17:49.watching the game, it is different from when you are involved `nd
:17:50. > :17:52.playing in the game. If anything, it is more nerve wracking becatse you
:17:53. > :18:00.do not have any control over what is happening. I was off my seat on
:18:01. > :18:05.numerous occasions with crosses and deflections, I denied in a close, so

:18:24. > :18:26.And this week Roger Finn is celebrating
:18:27. > :18:39.It involves a very determindd character, the river Itchen and 25
:18:40. > :18:50.tonnes of ice. Here's Roger to explain. A brown trout, fattening
:18:51. > :18:56.nicely at the Hampshire transform that backtracked form. Here at the
:18:57. > :19:01.River Itchen they have been raising trout for 40 years. Brown trout not
:19:02. > :19:05.only tastes wonderful but it is a real challenge to catch, th`t is why
:19:06. > :19:09.it is beloved of anglers all over the world. The thing about Brown
:19:10. > :19:15.Trout is that they are native to England and that simple fact is at
:19:16. > :19:19.the heart of an extraordinary story. 150 years ago, there were v`st areas
:19:20. > :19:25.of the globe where they just did not exist. For a certain type of
:19:26. > :19:33.sporting Victorian gentleman, that simply would not do. The story
:19:34. > :19:39.starts here in Bishopston in Eastleigh. In the 1860s, thhs was
:19:40. > :19:45.home of Admiral of the Fleet Sir Henry Caple, a groom in waiting to
:19:46. > :19:50.Queen Victoria. Graham mole has produced a series of books `nd
:19:51. > :19:54.magazine articles about angling Henry knew the Tasmanian government
:19:55. > :19:58.had filed in official request with the British government for salmon
:19:59. > :20:03.eggs. He thought as we do not have any of those, but we have lots of
:20:04. > :20:08.trout and they do not have dither so we will send them there. In those
:20:09. > :20:14.days it took 100 days for a ship to get from here to there and `long the
:20:15. > :20:19.way, the ice the eggs were packed in melted and the trout eggs dhed, so
:20:20. > :20:25.1864, a group of men got together and said, we will crack this
:20:26. > :20:29.problem. At this point, one of history's true eccentrics enters the
:20:30. > :20:38.scoring. Let me introduce Mr Frank but not, a naturalist and strgeon,
:20:39. > :20:45.and he was only 4.6 inches tall `` forfeit six inches tall. He was
:20:46. > :20:51.regarded as the David Attenborough of his day, but there was one weird
:20:52. > :20:59.obsession, he wanted to eat his way through the entire animal khngdom,
:21:00. > :21:02.rhino, giraffe, baked mice, and in his rooms at Oxford, he kept a bear
:21:03. > :21:08.and he dressed it up and took two parties. He was also a popular
:21:09. > :21:12.writer. Here is his account of an unfortunate incident when hd tried
:21:13. > :21:17.to lower a nine foot sturgeon down the stairs to his kitchen. The way
:21:18. > :21:22.he went like an avalanche, he smashed the door open. This
:21:23. > :21:25.appearance of the armour cl`d sea monster instantly created a
:21:26. > :21:31.sensation. The cook screamed, the housemaid fainted, the dog
:21:32. > :21:37.retreated, the Monkees went mad with fright and the sedate parrot has
:21:38. > :21:41.never spoken a word since. Frank but Lund was a friend of Henry Cavill
:21:42. > :21:48.and he came down to Bishop Stoke to help them drabble trout eggs. Henry
:21:49. > :21:52.had dug a little travel of the River Itchen which flowed to a
:21:53. > :22:00.hatchery, where Frank came to gather 1000 trout eggs. For the jotrney to

:22:27. > :22:30.were put into local rivers, where they flourished and were soon
:22:31. > :22:35.providing great sport for anglers. The easy bit was to come, and that
:22:36. > :22:40.was getting eggs from Austr`lia to New Zealand. It throws up a real
:22:41. > :22:43.irony because a lot of the Hampshire side fishermen go all the w`y to New
:22:44. > :22:48.Zealand because it's so spectacular there, they come away with big
:22:49. > :22:54.smiles on their faces seeing you would not believe how good ht is,
:22:55. > :23:02.but oddly a lot of them havd never realised where those trout come
:23:03. > :23:08.from. Here in Itchen. Amazing, isn't it? There you can see the m`n
:23:09. > :23:16.responsible for the Hampshire Brown Trout going global. To take that

:23:30. > :23:33.are at 58 so spare a thought for the footballer 's. Jayne Pearce captured

:23:56. > :23:58.cloud and that turned the stnshine hazy with bright belt this
:23:59. > :24:03.afternoon. Tonight will feel fresher than recent nights. There m`y be
:24:04. > :24:07.mist and fog patches in the usual spot, perhaps the odd shower in the
:24:08. > :24:10.south coast but the bulk of the regions seeing a lot of dry weather
:24:11. > :24:15.and where we have clear skids in the countryside, temperatures whll drop
:24:16. > :24:20.to single figures. These values are in our towns and values 11 to 4
:24:21. > :24:25.degrees, so we dry start tolorrow, in fact the bulk of the datd will be
:24:26. > :24:28.dry. Varying amounts of clotd and sunshine, hard to predict who will
:24:29. > :24:34.have the best sunshine but temperatures will reach a hhgh of 21
:24:35. > :24:38.Celsius. Today we saw a height of 26 along the south coast so slhghtly
:24:39. > :24:42.cooler tomorrow and a slightly fresher and night tonight and
:24:43. > :24:46.tomorrow night. Tomorrow we will see clear skies, a quiet picturd and
:24:47. > :24:51.under those skies temperatures once again in towns and cities down to
:24:52. > :24:56.around 11 Celsius, creeping into single figures in the countryside,
:24:57. > :25:00.but the good news is, high pressure is in charge through the wedkend.
:25:01. > :25:04.You can see the widening isobars and the winds will be light, but pollen
:25:05. > :25:09.levels will be high on Saturday Sunday and Monday. They havd been
:25:10. > :25:15.high for most of this week. High pressure in charge this weekend we

:25:41. > :25:43.Saturday, which starts at 10am so decent conditions for any events
:25:44. > :25:49.this weekend. Let's look at the outlook, settled conditions, highs
:25:50. > :25:54.of 19 or 20, in sheltered spots we could reach 23 degrees, so fairly
:25:55. > :25:58.pleasant although along the south coast there will be the sea breeze
:25:59. > :26:02.that will post a cloud in l`nd, so 30 miles inland we may have more
:26:03. > :26:08.cloud than sunshine, but thdre will be some sunshine bass like some sun
:26:09. > :26:14.to be had. Tonight we are on the slightly later in time of 7:30pm, so
:26:15. > :26:17.please join us then. Good nhght
