:14:13. > :14:17.And it raises concerns about an 8% real terms cut in spending on adult

:15:09. > :15:14.Yes, it is very accurate and it does not go far enough as to what is
:15:15. > :15:17.happening in the care sector. One of the interesting parts of thhs is the
:15:18. > :15:21.question whether those who `re paying privately in care holes are
:15:22. > :15:26.subsidising those being paid for by the councils. Is that the c`se? That
:15:27. > :15:30.is the case, if you are lucky enough to have your own house and xou are
:15:31. > :15:35.unfortunate enough to fall hll, the council will make you sell xour home
:15:36. > :15:38.to pay for your care. Most care home operators will try to get the real
:15:39. > :15:46.cost of care out of their rdsidence and go for a higher limit. They will
:15:47. > :15:50.get exactly the same care as the council people are actually paying
:15:51. > :15:54.and therefore they are subshdising their care as well. That sedms
:15:55. > :15:59.incredibly unfair. It is unfair And it works everywhere like th`t, not
:16:00. > :16:03.just from your own experience? It has been going on for many xears but
:16:04. > :16:07.I do not think people have realised that is what they are doing. These
:16:08. > :16:13.people who have saved up for houses that have been sold, their
:16:14. > :16:17.inheritance to their childrdn is being lost. We are obviouslx always
:16:18. > :16:22.talking about the increasing demands on councils and the fact th`t
:16:23. > :16:27.budgets are being squeezed `s long as the squeeze is not being done to
:16:28. > :16:32.you as a care home owner. If we are talking about an 8% real terms cut
:16:33. > :16:36.in spending on adult social care and demand is rising, it is not
:16:37. > :16:40.achievable anymore, is it? Ht is getting very much tougher for
:16:41. > :16:44.councils, we all know that. Everybody has to make cuts but I
:16:45. > :16:48.think the councils can make a lot more. We are over regulated in our
:16:49. > :17:01.business and there are too lany people telling us what to do and how
:17:02. > :17:05.to do it and nobody seems to be getting their sums right in a lot of
:17:06. > :17:07.places. I have the sea to sda in one hand and providers on anothdr and
:17:08. > :17:10.the City Council another and all of these people are coming in `nd they
:17:11. > :17:13.look at the regulations over and over again. A lot of cuts c`n be
:17:14. > :17:15.made there and then the mondy can go forward. There are other thhngs they
:17:16. > :17:18.can do which is helping the care home people themselves. There was a
:17:19. > :17:22.tremendous amount of expendhture being lost, such as winter fuel
:17:23. > :17:25.payments. My bills have gond up and most of my residents get winter fuel
:17:26. > :17:30.payments but none of it comds into the care sector. It is good to talk

:20:09. > :20:12.telling me that Brazil had to watch out for Germany.
:20:13. > :20:17.It was only a two horse racd. A lot of people predicted that Germany
:20:18. > :20:20.would win. During this World Cup we also heard the story of a m`n who
:20:21. > :20:24.went to school in Southampton played football in the area and took
:20:25. > :20:28.football to Brazil. It was ` well told story so I thought I would tell
:20:29. > :20:30.you a different one that is not so widely known tonight.
:20:31. > :20:33.The referee for Sunday's World Cup final is yet to be announced,
:20:34. > :20:35.Englishman Howard Webb is in contention.
:20:36. > :20:37.If selected he'll be followhng in the footsteps of George Reader,
:20:38. > :20:40.who refereed the last match of the 1950 finals.
:20:41. > :20:43.And as I've been finding out Reader played a big part in Southalpton
:20:44. > :20:54.It is the one medal in the Southhampton trophy cabinet that
:20:55. > :20:57.does not belong to a player. In 1950 George Reader, a future chahrman of
:20:58. > :21:01.the club, refereed one of the biggest matches in football history.
:21:02. > :21:08.George Reader was the man in Black in front of 200,000 fans as Brazil
:21:09. > :21:11.faced Uruguay. He was a forler player and he was there due to a
:21:12. > :21:18.conversation with a friend to years before. When Saints toured Brazil
:21:19. > :21:21.and outstanding director told George to come out of prison and t`lk to
:21:22. > :21:28.the referees out there and `ct as a consultant. He went out with the
:21:29. > :21:32.team in 1948 was introduced to the local referees who were so hmpressed
:21:33. > :21:35.with him that he asked them to referee the Games that Saints were
:21:36. > :21:39.playing. He impressed the locals so much that he was asked to stay and
:21:40. > :21:45.become a referee. He did not stay, he came back to his job as ` teacher
:21:46. > :21:48.at a school in Southampton. He already had a reputation as a man
:21:49. > :21:53.enforcing the rules of the game in the area. We just knew that we had a
:21:54. > :21:58.proper referee and that we were always told when he was refdreeing
:21:59. > :22:04.our Games by our sports master and we had to be on our best behaviour.
:22:05. > :22:07.He was just a referee and hd seemed to love the game as much as we did.
:22:08. > :22:14.We seemed to be enjoying evdry minute of it with the boys `nd
:22:15. > :22:18.refereeing a football game. In 950 George Reader returns to officiate
:22:19. > :22:22.at the finals and the last latch was until this week rated as thd worst
:22:23. > :22:28.moment for Brazil in football, as they lost to Uruguay. 11 minutes
:22:29. > :22:35.from the end Uruguay found ` gap at the near post and it was Br`zil one,
:22:36. > :22:40.Uruguay two. Uruguay were shgnals to be champions for the second time.
:22:41. > :22:44.They were not expected to lose to resurrect `` Uruguay. It was a shock
:22:45. > :22:49.throughout South America but George controlled it very well. He went on
:22:50. > :22:53.to become the chairman of S`ints until his death in 1978. I was so
:22:54. > :23:01.proud when he became the ch`irman of the club because I knew he refereed
:23:02. > :23:06.our Games and I remembered him as a cheerful character who did seem to
:23:07. > :23:11.love football. George Reader was next to the Queen for the 1876 cup
:23:12. > :23:14.final which was a shock as Southampton beat Manchester United.
:23:15. > :23:20.George Reader, man for the big occasions.
:23:21. > :23:23.A lovely story and links th`t Southhampton have with football in
:23:24. > :23:29.Brazil and World Cups in Br`zil and it all finishes with the final on
:23:30. > :23:36.Sunday night life here on BBC1. And share have signed Nathan
