Good evening. Welcome to Wales Today. Tonight, Swansea City begin | :00:08. | :00:12. | |
life in the Premier League. The fans left Swansea early this | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
morning, all heading north, bus loads of them. 2,500 have arrived | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
to watch their team play the world's richest football club. | :00:21. | :00:26. | |
First game of the prem. Taking the boy with mement can't wait now. | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
keep saying it over and over again, Man City versus Swansea. It's | :00:31. | :00:35. | |
incredible. We're going to do it. It's there to see clearly in black | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
and white, the fans are going out of their way to support the team. | :00:41. | :00:45. | |
Also tonight, Rebecca Aylward, murdered by her ex-boyfriend. Her | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
mother gives the first television interview, hoping the teenage | :00:48. | :00:56. | |
killer will never be released. We are living day by day. We just | :00:56. | :01:02. | |
feel numb, numb. A woman dies on a camp site, overcome by fumes in her | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
tent. Her husband and two young children taken to hospital. | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
And Wales are looking for a new captain for the World Cup. Matthew | :01:10. | :01:20. | |

Good evening. Welcome to Wales Today. Welcome to the home of | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
Manchester City football club, where Swansea City are an hour-and- | :01:35. | :01:38. | |
a-half away from starting in the Premier League. The players will be | :01:38. | :01:43. | |
running out of the tunnel and onto this pitch. Kick-off at 8pm. If you | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
don't follow football and you know little about Manchester City, let | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
me tell you, they have some of the best footballers in the world | :01:49. | :01:53. | |
playing for them. They are officially the richest club on the | :01:53. | :02:00. | |
planet. Let me just give you one or two examples. Swansea City's | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
biggest signing this summer cost them �3.5 million. Compare that to | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
Manchester City. They paid a whopping �38 million for just one | :02:10. | :02:16. | |
player. Let's lock at their venues. Liberty Stadium can hold just over | :02:16. | :02:23. | |
20,000 fans. But here, they can pack the rafters with over 50,000. | :02:23. | :02:28. | |
This is the big time in football. Swansea City have arrived. The fans | :02:28. | :02:31. | |
are out to enjoy every single second. | :02:31. | :02:36. | |
Was this the moment when it really sunk in that Swansea are a Premier | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
League club? Supporters coach as riefd this evening with passengers | :02:39. | :02:47. | |
pinching themselves at where they'd ended up. They set off from Swansea | :02:47. | :02:50. | |
earlier in the day, knowing the journey marked the start of their | :02:50. | :02:56. | |
Premier League odyssey. I have my season ticket. A little card shows | :02:56. | :03:02. | |
us the fixture. It said "Premier League", it still wasn't true. | :03:02. | :03:12. | |
First game of the season, hopefully Man City, first win of the league. | :03:12. | :03:19. | |
I remember 1981, now 30 years later, taking the boy to the p the -- the | :03:19. | :03:25. | |
prem, can't wait. That match 30 years ago will provide inspiration | :03:25. | :03:29. | |
tonight. Newly promoted Swansea weren't given much hope in 1981 | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
either, but went on to thrash one of the biggest club of that era | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Leeds United in their first game. That match has been talked about | :03:39. | :03:44. | |
for years. The significance of tonight's game isn't lost on the | :03:45. | :03:47. | |
current generation. We're very honoured to be the first Welsh club | :03:47. | :03:51. | |
to get into the Premier League. We hope that we can do the badge and | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
the club and the country as a whole very proud. Like I say, we'll fight | :03:57. | :04:02. | |
for our life to try and compete in the league without giving away our | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
soul of the club, which is very important. Swansea lit up the | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
championship with their passing game last season and deserved to | :04:08. | :04:13. | |
win promotion. But the Premier League is a big step up. Wembley | :04:13. | :04:16. | |
hero Scott Sinclair used to play for Chelsea and Wigan. He's fully | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
aware of how different it will be. In the championship you might have | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
four or five chances in frobt of the goal. In the prem you might get | :04:25. | :04:31. | |
one or two. If you can get one or two you have to stick one away. | :04:31. | :04:36. | |
There are a lot of familiar faces, but over the summer a handful of | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
new signings have bolstered the squad. The big question is will it | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
be enough for Swansea to compete with the big boys of the Premier | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
League? He's made a couple of good signings. I think they've got all | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
the ingredients to make a real good go of it in the Premier League. | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
Maybe along the way they might get beaten and beaten well sometimes, | :04:55. | :04:59. | |
but it's important to keep focused. It wouldn't be a zaster to lose to | :04:59. | :05:06. | |
Manchester City. It's only the first of 38 matches. With pictures | :05:06. | :05:10. | |
of the game being beamed into an estimated 600 million households in | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
200 countries, Swansea will be keen to make a good impression in front | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
of the watching world. The world watching and also | :05:18. | :05:23. | |
watching tonight, Match Of The Day commentator, Liverpool legend Mark | :05:23. | :05:27. | |
Laurenceson is here. How will Swansea cope tonight? They'll be | :05:27. | :05:31. | |
fine tonight. This is just the beginning of the adventure. 38 | :05:31. | :05:34. | |
games over the course of the season is completely different, but | :05:34. | :05:38. | |
reading all the stuff coming out of Swansea this week about the players | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
saying how much they're looking forward to it, some of those | :05:41. | :05:46. | |
players have played in the lower divisions. To be fair it's a no- | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
lose game. I heard your build up about Manchester City and the | :05:49. | :05:55. | |
wealth that they've got and the players. I think the majority of | :05:55. | :05:58. | |
neutrals coming tonight won't expect anything from Swansea. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
will Swansea handle the emotion. It's a huge step up from the | :06:01. | :06:06. | |
championship. Yeah, but it's great. It's the noise, you can haert PA | :06:06. | :06:12. | |
system, no-one can hear us any wai. It's the noise. I've been in the | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
situation with Brighton many years ago, to the old first division that | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
was, you sit in the dressing room, you look at the names and thinking | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
"Oh, my goodness." They've only got two legs like you have. They go to | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
the toilet same as you do. They have to go out and play. The great | :06:29. | :06:31. | |
thing for Swansea they're a very good football team. They're not | :06:31. | :06:39. | |
going to kick it long. It doesn't suit them. Can I put you on the | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
result? If you said to the manager, if you give me a draw now, he'll | :06:44. | :06:48. | |
give you a kiss. The thing with City is they can bring three | :06:48. | :06:51. | |
substitutes on that cost �50 million, that's the difference. | :06:51. | :06:55. | |
Thank you very much for talking to us. The fans have been arriving all | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
day. But of course there's a whole city back home, all summer | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
preparations and celebrations have been ongoing, for not just the fans | :07:02. | :07:10. | |
but businesses too. Let's hear it for Wales. It as f | :07:10. | :07:13. | |
was jubilation from players and fans when Swansea City became the | :07:13. | :07:17. | |
first Welsh side to reach the Premier League. A footballing | :07:17. | :07:20. | |
fairytale, now it's the reality of playing in the world's biggest | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
league. The change in Swansea City's fortunes has been clear to | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
see at the club's shop. The tills haven't stopped ringing, with the | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
entire stock of 6,000 home shirts selling out in hours. It's now only | :07:34. | :07:40. | |
the away strip available. It's been totally mad every day. We are open | :07:40. | :07:45. | |
seven days a week now as well. Our busiest is our printing. The | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
printing on the shirts. Last season, one or two maybe a week. Now we've | :07:50. | :07:58. | |
got about 40, 50 a day. This is a nice one. With her supporters kit | :07:58. | :08:03. | |
purchased Marilyn packs it for the first taste of the Premiership. | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
She's supported the Swans through the highs and lows. She was there | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
eight years ago when the team nearly went out of the Football | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
League. Now it's the football top flight. Absolutely excited beyond, | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
I mean can't wait to get up there, this evening to watch the game. | :08:18. | :08:22. | |
We're staying overnight, so we can enjoy the wholeness of it. I think | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
it's just a terrific event. It's something thaw dream of. And all | :08:28. | :08:35. | |
ofcy aud -- all of a sudden it's today. And the fever has spread | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
west. Mike has been a fan for over 50 years. To celebrate he did what | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
he does best. Mike will be one of more tan 2,500 fans making the trip | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
to Manchester. Business leaders believe the city has to build on | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
the club's success. We all need confidence at the moment. | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
Businesses are nervous about investing. Seeing what the club has | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
done, particularly where it was eight years ago, and how they | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
bounced back, that gives us a boost in terms of confidence. Already | :09:06. | :09:11. | |
seeing the benefits, this chip shop across the -- across the road from | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
the stadium. It's going to get busier. There will be a lot more | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
people around here. We may get footballers coming in for pie and | :09:19. | :09:23. | |
chips. A moment of history for the fans, as they prepare to take on | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
the world's wealthiest clubs. Former Wales international Iwan | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
Roberts is here. You told me earlier you want to put your boots | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
on. This is what everyone dreams of. It is. When you become a | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
professional footballer, you dream of playing in the Premier League in | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
stadiums like this. It's a fantastic stadium. The pitch | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
surface looks superb. It will suit the Swansea players down to a tee | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
tonight. Realistically, what can Swansea City hope for this season? | :09:53. | :09:58. | |
I think they can survive. You think they can? I think they can. The | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
type of football they play, it will suit the Premier League. You get | :10:01. | :10:05. | |
more time in the Premier League on the ball. I think the manager | :10:05. | :10:10. | |
strengthened really well over the summer, albeit, not too many of the | :10:10. | :10:12. | |
players have Premier League experience. But they have points to | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
prove. That's vital. Yes, it's going to be tough. But they've | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
earned the right to play in the Premier League against the top | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
sides in Europe and the world, in the best stadiums. They have to | :10:22. | :10:27. | |
grab that with both hands. I'm sure they will do. If you were Brendan | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Rogers what would you be saying to them tonight? Don't be scared of | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
them. Get stuck in with them and you'll come away with a positive | :10:34. | :10:44. | |
:10:44. | :10:44. | ||
result. Thank you. Enjoit game. Much more later in the programme. | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
Good evening. The mother of Rebecca Aylward, the schoolgirl murdered by | :10:48. | :10:51. | |
her ex-boyfriend, has given her first television interview, saying | :10:51. | :10:55. | |
she hopes her daughter's killer is never released from custody. The | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
15-year-old was taken into a secluded wood near Bridgend and | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
battered to death by Joshua Davies. Rebecca Aylward's mother has been | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
speaking to our reporter Ross Harris. | :11:06. | :11:12. | |
A few weeks from now, Sonia Oatly would have been waiting for | :11:12. | :11:15. | |
Rebekah's GCSE results. Instead she's grieving for a daughter taken | :11:15. | :11:19. | |
from her in a most brutal and senseless manner. She told me how | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
she felt about the boy she'd once trusted and welcomed into her | :11:23. | :11:30. | |
family. I hate him for what he's done, obviously. I don't ever want | :11:30. | :11:36. | |
him to come out of jail because I know he will do it to another | :11:36. | :11:43. | |
innocent child. I'd hate for any other parents to go through what | :11:43. | :11:47. | |
we've gone through. We've known him for four years. He was almost part | :11:47. | :11:56. | |
of the family. He'd come up and if I'd cook him something to eat and | :11:56. | :12:01. | |
say "The usual Josh?" He was great. I'm just devastated by what he's | :12:01. | :12:07. | |
done. And in terms of the trial itself, as you've mentioned, | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
horrendous thing for a mother to have to sit through. And listen. | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
Was there any eye contact -- contact at all during the trial? | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
were in the upper gallery. He looked up to me. It was horrible | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
looking into his eyes. I think I've said it before, it was like looking | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
into the eyes of the devil. Very different, his expression, | :12:30. | :12:35. | |
everything has changed from the Josh I knew. Joshua Davies killed | :12:35. | :12:39. | |
Rebecca Aylward in this secluded wood leaving her body face down in | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
the dirt. Rebekah's family cheered in court when the guilty verdict | :12:44. | :12:47. | |
was delivered but say, since the day of her murder, their lives have | :12:47. | :12:53. | |
stopped. Sonia's two other children Jessica and Jack, both woreship | :12:53. | :12:56. | |
their older sister. They told me they would never forgive Joshua | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
Davies for what he's done. He's just evil. There's no words to | :13:01. | :13:05. | |
describe how angry we all are towards him. It's mad. It's changed | :13:05. | :13:09. | |
us into something that we don't want to be. We've got so much anger | :13:09. | :13:13. | |
in us. I looked up to him as a brother, but then he did that, just | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
horrible he is. I hate him now. I just want him locked up forever. I | :13:18. | :13:24. | |
don't want him to come back out. I really don't. Rebekah's mother says | :13:24. | :13:28. | |
the funeral wentibly in a blur, an entire experience still feels | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
unreal, like a nightmare. It is like that. We're still waiting to | :13:33. | :13:39. | |
wake up. It really is not real. Still waiting for her to walk into | :13:39. | :13:45. | |
the door and all the police to come and say it wasn't him. It really is | :13:45. | :13:52. | |
unreal. How will you remember Rebekah? Just as a happy, bubbly, | :13:52. | :14:01. | |
beautiful girl, very intelligent. The kebab house at the centre of an | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
outbreak of E.coli was inspected by Cardiff Council less than one month | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
ago. The Adonis takeaway was given a rating of one out of five for its | :14:09. | :14:12. | |
food hygiene. It was closed last week by investigators trying to | :14:12. | :14:15. | |
find the cause of the outbreak. Two people have now left hospital but a | :14:15. | :14:21. | |
third remain seriously ill. The Environment Agency has launched | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
an investigation after 50 bags of asbestos was found dumped on the | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
Gelligaer Common, near the village of Fochriw. They say it could harm | :14:28. | :14:32. | |
the environment and human health. Officers say the cost of the clean- | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
up is likely to run into thousands of pounds. | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
Hundreds of IT contractors who work the DVLA in Swansea and the Office | :14:39. | :14:42. | |
for National Statistics in Newport have been balloted over strike | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
action in a row over pay. They work for the technology company Fujitsu. | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
Unions say workers could walk out next month and October. | :14:53. | :14:56. | |
A mother has died after being overcome by fumes in a tent in | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
Gwynedd. North Wales Police say they were called to a caravan site | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
in Gyrn Goch this morning. The woman's husband and two young | :15:04. | :15:13. | |
children were also in the tent and were taken to hospital. | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
Police were called to the Aberafon Camping and Caravan Site on the | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
Lleyn Peninsula at around half-past nine this morning. Paramedics were | :15:20. | :15:30. | |
:15:30. | :15:37. | ||
already there. The family who are not from the area had arrived at | :15:37. | :15:43. | |
the campsite on Saturday. We're not treating the matter as suspicious, | :15:43. | :15:53. | |
:15:53. | :15:57. | ||
we are cheating it has sent... Initial over say the family were | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
overcome by fumes in the round tent. The family were using a barbecue | :16:00. | :16:05. | |
that might have been taken into the tent for war. Police have not | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
confirmed this and say they're looking into what happened. The | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
owners of the caravan site are too distressed to talk tonight. The | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
accident has come as a huge shock to local people. | :16:16. | :16:23. | |
I have not spoken to the owners yet but I think the air in deep shock. | :16:23. | :16:30. | |
I rent eight Caravan Sites myself. I understand how I would feel. It | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
is quite horrific. The police say they grateful to members of the | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
public who helped take the children to safety. A post-mortem will be | :16:38. | :16:48. | |
:16:48. | :16:51. | ||
held. Exactly what happened here will take several days to You are | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
watching Wales Today. They are best pals and have been living next door | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
to each other since 1935. The inseparable neighbours celebrating | :16:56. | :17:06. | |
after 76 years. We don't fall out, touch wood. On Saturday we had the | :17:06. | :17:10. | |
good news, a win over England in the build-up to the rugby World Cup. | :17:10. | :17:14. | |
Today, the bad news. Captain, Matthew Rees, has been ruled out of | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
the competition because of a neck injury. | :17:17. | :17:21. | |
Matthew Rees's desperate race to be fit has ended in defeat. Pain- | :17:21. | :17:24. | |
killing injections and rest have not cured his neck problem and for | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
the sake of his long-term career the decision has been taken to | :17:27. | :17:37. | |
:17:37. | :17:38. | ||
operate. Matthew has always got a bit of | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
banter and is always laughing and joking but at the moment he is | :17:41. | :17:45. | |
walking around not like Matthew Rees because he is always in such | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
pain. Another of Wales's first choice front row, Adam Jones, is | :17:49. | :17:51. | |
expected to return against Argentina this Saturday after | :17:51. | :17:54. | |
recovering from a toe injury and he thinks his captain has made the | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
right decision to opt for surgery. It is a big deal to go to the World | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
Cup. It does not come around very often. In the end of the day, you | :18:05. | :18:12. | |
have got to look after yourself. It will be very sad for him not to be | :18:12. | :18:16. | |
there but totally he will be involved. Thoughts now turn to who | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
will take over from Matthew Rees as skipper out in New Zealand. Sam | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
Warburton filled in for both matches against England and was | :18:22. | :18:24. | |
outstanding. He will be rested this Saturday. Gavin Henson meanwhile | :18:24. | :18:28. | |
faces a race against time to play any part in New Zealand. He will be | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
out for between six to eight weeks after having an operation on a | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
dislocated wrist yesterday. The World Cup squad is named a week | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
today. The team to face Argentina, tomorrow. | :18:40. | :18:43. | |
The team behind the record-breaking attempt on the land speed record in | :18:43. | :18:46. | |
an electric car say they won't give up. Despite failing to beat the | :18:46. | :18:48. | |
137mph record at Pendine Sands in Carmarthenshire yesterday, Joe | :18:48. | :18:51. | |
Wales and his father Don say they're working on future Bluebird | :18:51. | :19:01. | |
:19:01. | :19:02. | ||
electric cars that could top 500mph within the next two to three years. | :19:02. | :19:06. | |
The route for the Welsh stage of the Tour of Britain Cycle Race next | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
month has been announced. Starting in Welshpool, the riders will end | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
the gruelling 182 kilometre route cycling up Caerphilly Mountain. | :19:12. | :19:14. | |
Today, young and old gathered outside the castle to celebrate the | :19:14. | :19:24. | |
:19:24. | :19:31. | ||
The tour of Britain makes up one of the most top races. Some of the | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
biggest name in sport will be here. This stage could be one of the | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
crucial stages to shake the whole overall standing of the race, | :19:39. | :19:42. | |
particularly with the climb at the end. Cardiff City are top of the | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
Championship table after their opening two games. The Bluebirds | :19:45. | :19:47. | |
beat Bristol City 3-1 at home with goals from Mark Hudson, new | :19:48. | :19:57. | |
signings, Craig Conway and Robert Earnshaw. | :19:57. | :20:01. | |
Nearly 24,000 here today and a real good performance. They saw goals | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
and the energy. I saw passion and the fans and that is what I want to | :20:06. | :20:12. | |
see week-in, week-out. They care about that more than a thing. | :20:12. | :20:18. | |
Confidence is growing, slowly. Watching them win was brilliant. | :20:18. | :20:23. | |
Today, I think we will bang on. Confidence was up. The fitness is | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
getting there. Everybody is starting to gel together very | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
quickly. It is all about Swansea tonight. Back to Claire now in | :20:31. | :20:40. | |
Manchester. Welcome back. Perfect timing, you | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
can see some of the players such as come as for a look around of the | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
pitch. The fans gave them a huge cheer. A bake warm welcome. Out | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
there is Garry Monk. He led them to the play-off final at Wembley at | :20:53. | :20:59. | |
the end of the -- at the end of May. He talked to us about the homes of | :20:59. | :21:05. | |
this season. He can not what that play-off final, he says it gives | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
:21:15. | :21:16. | ||
hints -- goose bumps. I have not lost the fall game yet. | :21:16. | :21:24. | |
-- watched the fall game. I fast-forward the two goals and I | :21:24. | :21:34. | |
:21:34. | :21:34. | ||
That could have been a game say that. | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
Then I fast-forward to the penalty and then it to the end. I have not | :21:38. | :21:46. | |
watched it right through yet. We would definitely be competitive, | :21:46. | :21:50. | |
I can tell you that. We will not lie down at all. We will give our | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
all and with the crowd behind us, the fans we have got here and the | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
belief we have in ourselves, I to do believe we will surprise a few | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
teams this season. We have got to go out there and give our all. | :22:04. | :22:08. | |
Everybody is talking about this team and that team, they've got | :22:08. | :22:11. | |
this amount of money and that amount of money. The whole season | :22:11. | :22:18. | |
is going to be a great adventure for this. | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
You can't go away. There will be times when it will be tough and | :22:23. | :22:28. | |
people will be asking if we can sustain it. How can we go away from | :22:28. | :22:37. | |
that? The gaffer believes in us, the fans and everyone. We need to | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
take that belief and using it as motivation and push on. | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Every single day, is Swansea fan will want to talk to about a | :22:46. | :22:50. | |
certain aspect of the game or something like that. You can't get | :22:50. | :22:54. | |
away from it and it is great. It means so much to the city, it is | :22:54. | :23:03. | |
not just about Swansea but you are representing a nation. You are | :23:03. | :23:07. | |
representing the nation and it is something the boys will realise. | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
The all the boys who have been here for a long time will have to make | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
sure the new boys will have to know that. | :23:14. | :23:18. | |

neighbours? 10 years? 20? How about 76? Kate Bradley and Vi Price from | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Mold met when they were children and have lived next door to each | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
other since 1935. The best friends say they are always in each other's | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
houses and still take holidays together. Meet Vi at Number 9 and | :25:19. | :25:22. | |
Kate at Number 8. These two have been living next | :25:22. | :25:25. | |
door to each other through 15 British prime ministers, four | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
monarchs and one World War. They knew each other as neighbourhood | :25:29. | :25:31. | |
children before their families moved to this street at the same | :25:31. | :25:38. | |
time not realising they would end up together. | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
We never had a fence, we had a gate and we would go to one another's | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
houses. We would walk in and say, can I borrow a drop of milk? If you | :25:49. | :25:54. | |
are making steel and it didn't have an onion, we would ask for any | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
errors. That is how you get on. Times have changed, including the | :25:58. | :26:00. | |
rent. When these were council houses they paid five shillings | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
eight pence a week. Kate and Vi put their long relationship down to | :26:04. | :26:09. | |
similar personalities. They have even got a similar taste in clothes. | :26:09. | :26:19. | |
When she walked in, I said she's got the same frock as me! I wasn't | :26:19. | :26:27. | |
going to put this one on but as the first one I grabbed. And usually | :26:27. | :26:32. | |
got a skirt and blouse on. It could be chemistry. | :26:32. | :26:35. | |
A The pair still visit a pensioners' club once a week and | :26:35. | :26:37. | |
take regular trips to Blackpool together. Even when they are away | :26:37. | :26:47. | |
:26:47. | :26:48. | ||
from home they are still together. Through good times and that they | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
have been through good times and bad times together. It was then the | :26:52. | :27:02. | |
:27:02. | :27:03. | ||
rest of their live side by side. David Cameron has said tackling | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Britain's broken society is back at the top of his agenda following | :27:06. | :27:13. | |
