Hello. Welcome to Look East. On the programme tonight, Network Rail in | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
the dock over the deaths of two girls at a level crossing in Essex. | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
As the case heads for the courts, I talk to the families of the victims. | :00:20. | :00:25. | |
The horrible emptiness left by the absence of our daughters doesn't | :00:25. | :00:30. | |
change, and we miss them as desperately now as we ever did. | :00:30. | :00:36. | |
Also tonight, too much Christmas spirit, say the experts, as are | :00:36. | :00:39. | |

And are disappearing wilderness on top of the world. The Cambridge | :00:44. | :00:54. | |

research at sea change -- looking Hello. Bosses of Britain's railway | :00:57. | :01:01. | |
tracks are to be taken to court following the death of two teenage | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
girls at a level crossing in Essex. Families of the girls welcomed the | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
move, saying it was right Network Rail was brought to account. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
Charlotte Thompson and Olivia Bazlinton were killed on the level | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
crossing almost exactly six years ago. Following an investigation the | :01:18. | :01:22. | |
next year, it was described, the risk assessment was described | :01:22. | :01:27. | |
before the accident as substantially flawed. In August | :01:27. | :01:31. | |
2006, safety at the station was improved, with a pedestrian gate | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
which would lock. In March this year, the regulator reopened the | :01:36. | :01:43. | |
inquiry. Today, it confirmed it was taking Network Rail to court. Let's | :01:43. | :01:48. | |
go to Elsenham and Kim Riley. Perhaps, for people looking in who | :01:48. | :01:52. | |
don't know the area, let's show you where we are. Elsenham is a village | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
quite close to Stansted airport and there are rail links directly into | :01:56. | :02:01. | |
the airport from here to Liverpool Street and up to Cambridge. It is | :02:01. | :02:05. | |
hard for me to believe that it was six years ago I was standing in | :02:05. | :02:09. | |
almost this very spot, talking about a tragedy which had removed | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
people, and it wasn't until developments earlier this year that | :02:14. | :02:18. | |
the family's actually felt they were beginning to get to the truth. | :02:18. | :02:23. | |
They were two vivacious young girls with everything to live for, 13- | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
year-old Charlotte Thompson and her 14-year-old friend, Olivia | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
Bazlinton. On the crossing, red lights were flashing and the alarm | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
sounding as a train pulled in. The girls wanted to catch it. They | :02:35. | :02:39. | |
opened the gate and began to cross the line, not seeing a Stansted | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
bound train hurtling towards them at 70 mph. After the coroner and an | :02:44. | :02:49. | |
inquest jury visited the level crossing in January 2007, a verdict | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
of accidental death was returned, but it is now clear that the jury | :02:54. | :02:58. | |
and previous inquiries had been denied access to key documents | :02:58. | :03:03. | |
including a report from a level crossing standards manager in 2001, | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
which O'Rourke -- which warned that the risk of disaster was real, | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
recommending that Railtrack built a tunnel or footbridge to avoid | :03:11. | :03:16. | |
catastrophe. These days, the pedestrian gates lock when a train | :03:16. | :03:20. | |
is approaching. Other improvements had been made, including a | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
pedestrian bridge over the line. But it is all too late for Olivia | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
and Charlotte. Today, the Office of Rail | :03:30. | :03:34. | |
Regulation said, after studying these reports, which had not been | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
revealed earlier, it had concluded there was enough evidence to bring | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
criminal proceedings against Network Rail for serious breaches | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
of health and safety law, and it believed that was in the public | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
interest. In a statement, Sir David Higgins, chief executive of Network | :03:50. | :03:56. | |
Rail, said, since the tragedy, it has updated assessment of its 7000 | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
crossings, improved safety management and safety itself and | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
closed 500 crossings altogether. He says, when it comes to safety, we | :04:05. | :04:10. | |
will never be complacent. Legal papers were lodged today with | :04:11. | :04:14. | |
Chelmsford magistrates and we expect the first hearing to be held | :04:14. | :04:17. | |
at the end of January. This afternoon, I went to Elsenham | :04:18. | :04:24. | |
to speak to the families of the two girls. Olivia's parents, Tina and | :04:24. | :04:29. | |
Chris, and Reg Thompson, who still finds it difficult cross this track. | :04:29. | :04:33. | |
Six years after the crash, the scars are still raw. | :04:33. | :04:40. | |
My wife doesn't come here at all. And the passage of time... I don't | :04:40. | :04:48. | |
know. One gets used to it, but the horrible emptiness left by the | :04:48. | :04:52. | |
absence of our daughters doesn't change, and we miss them as | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
desperately now as we ever did. Tina, it is one thing having this | :04:58. | :05:01. | |
legal action but, actually, it doesn't bring your daughter back, | :05:01. | :05:07. | |
does it? No, nothing will ever bring her back, but what we can do | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
is hopefully try and get Network Rail to change the way that they | :05:12. | :05:15. | |
managed risk at crossings, which will avoid this sort of thing | :05:15. | :05:20. | |
happening to other families. When it gets to court, what do you want | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
Network Rail to do? I want them to plead guilty. I don't want any more | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
of their posturing and pretending that it was unintentional that | :05:29. | :05:35. | |
documents were withheld, defending an indefensible case against the | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
civil case that we took against them, when all along they knew how | :05:40. | :05:46. | |
risky the crossing was at Elsenham. They wasted huge amounts of money, | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
hundreds of thousands of pounds of taxpayers' money defending the case, | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
and I would rather that money was spent on making improvements to | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
level crossings. The Chris, do you believe that somebody, somewhere, | :05:58. | :06:05. | |
made a conscious decision to cover up the recommendations that were | :06:05. | :06:11. | |
made before your daughter was killed? Before she was killed? I'm | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
not sure about that. I think there probably was incompetence, that the | :06:18. | :06:21. | |
concerns didn't get through to the right people, but I think, after | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
the event, I'm pretty sure it was covered up. I can't prove it, but | :06:26. | :06:31. | |
the evidence seems overwhelming. Why did the two most important | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
documents go missing and they have only just come out? I believe there | :06:35. | :06:41. | |
was a cover-up after the event. Since the accident, Network Rail | :06:41. | :06:47. | |
has stated publicly that Olivia and Charlie were responsible for their | :06:47. | :06:52. | |
own deaths, but it was their irresponsible actions that led to | :06:52. | :06:55. | |
this tragedy, and now it will be proven beyond any reasonable doubt | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
that it was the fault of Network Rail, their negligence and | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
incompetence and inability to act upon their own advice, which was | :07:03. | :07:09. | |
given time and again since 1999. I want them to say publicly that the | :07:09. | :07:14. | |
girls were not responsible. You were nodding as he said that. | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
What do you think of an organisation that can do something | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
like that to grieving families and parents? I don't think they really | :07:24. | :07:29. | |
care too much. I mean, there are people in there who care very, very | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
much but, corporately, I don't think they care. I would go along | :07:35. | :07:41. | |
with that, too. It is really difficult to sort of imagine how | :07:41. | :07:45. | |
people can behave like that, but they have done. There have been | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
people in there who, you know, whose attitude seems to be, well, | :07:49. | :07:56. | |
it was in the past, it is one of those things, things went wrong. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
Even the trade press has been like that, the rail trade press. I think | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
it is appalling. Of course, what went wrong cost you your daughter. | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Absolutely, yeah, and it mustn't ever happen again. | :08:12. | :08:16. | |
The parents of Charlotte Thompson and Olivia Bazlinton, speaking to | :08:16. | :08:20. | |
me earlier today. A still to come, the supermarket | :08:20. | :08:24. | |
under fire for its cut-price drinks offer. | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
And I will be telling you how the weekend is going to shake up. Do we | :08:28. | :08:33. | |
get any rain or do we get sunshine? -- how the weekend is going to | :08:33. | :08:37. | |
shape up. Parents across the region still | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
don't know what is happening next week during the public sector | :08:41. | :08:45. | |
strike. We know many schools will close, but which ones? Victoria | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
Cook has been checking. In Essex and Suffolk, local | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
authorities still don't know which schools will close. They are | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
waiting for confirmation but they don't expect to get it until Monday. | :08:57. | :09:03. | |
In Norfolk, it is different. There are 430 schools in the county. They | :09:03. | :09:09. | |
have only heard from 28 that they are definitely going to close. They | :09:09. | :09:13. | |
think that number could increase to two thirds of the schools, over 300 | :09:13. | :09:17. | |
schools in the county closed. Earlier, I spoke to in Norfolk | :09:17. | :09:22. | |
mother who is facing an unusual situation. I have two daughters in | :09:22. | :09:25. | |
the county school. One of them has got to go to school and the other | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
hasn't, although it is the same school. It is a difficult position | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
for me. I have taken the day off work. I think it is madness. | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
What to the unions say? I spoke to the NUT earlier. Even | :09:40. | :09:45. | |
they are not sure what -- which of their members are going to strike | :09:45. | :09:49. | |
next week. This will have a big impact on businesses. If children | :09:49. | :09:53. | |
can't go to school, parents will have to take the day off. I spoke | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
to Arriva Buses. They say, if they don't get their employees into work, | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
they will have to have a reduced service. We will find out more | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
about how it will affect everyone next week. We will keep everybody | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
up-to-date on this programme and on our BBC local radio services, who | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
always to an important job during something like this. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
A 22-year-old man has been convicted of raping an Essex | :10:18. | :10:23. | |
University student three years ago. Lawrence Button, a former care from | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
Colchester, didn't know his victim. He was caught after his DNA was | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
flagged on a national database. The James Paget Hospital in | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
Gorleston has been issued with another formal warning over record | :10:34. | :10:38. | |
keeping and people work. The inspection by the Care Quality | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
Commission found that systems had been put in place to tackle a | :10:41. | :10:45. | |
previous problem with nutrition but those systems were not working as | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
well as they should be. Earlier, I asked Francis Carey from the CQC to | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
explain what they found. Despite putting on additional staff | :10:54. | :10:58. | |
to help at mealtimes, some of those staff didn't seem to know what they | :10:58. | :11:02. | |
were there for or what their role was. Some award lists were | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
inaccurate. Without the additional assessments which were inaccurate. | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
We observed a patient who had Emile placed in front of them and removed | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
90 minutes later, untouched. -- who had a meal. The effort hasn't led | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
to the desired consequence. could say it was pointless. As it | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
addressed the nutritional problems you're identified? We certainly saw | :11:28. | :11:32. | |
some improvement. On one of the wards, we observed very good | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
practice. The systems of practice have put in place have worked on | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
one ward. The question is, why hasn't put been followed on the | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
other two wards and why didn't they pick that up themselves? This is | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
not the first or second a warning that the hospital has had. You have | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
to wonder whether these warnings are effective. Certainly, the trust | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
had responded to the initial warning notice. The second warning | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
is on a different element, obviously still related to | :12:02. | :12:07. | |
nutrition, because that is where it started... From the public's point | :12:07. | :12:11. | |
of view, they look at the Care Quality Commission as the body that | :12:11. | :12:13. | |
will make sure they hospital is saved and addressing everything | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
they need as a patient. How much longer will you let the hospital go | :12:18. | :12:22. | |
on receiving warnings? We have enforcement powers but we have to | :12:23. | :12:29. | |
balance the risk. If we decided to remove the capacity to admit new | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
patients to that board until it was sorted out, we have to balance the | :12:34. | :12:39. | |
risk of reducing bed capacity. -- to that award. We have tried to bid | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
for shirt but we certainly do have teeth. | :12:42. | :12:47. | |
In response, the hospital says, over the past month, it has put a | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
lot of effort into streamlining its paperwork. They have been | :12:51. | :12:54. | |
encouraging patients to tell them about any problems. | :12:54. | :13:01. | |
Last week Arsenal, tomorrow Queens Park Rangers in the Premier League | :13:01. | :13:04. | |
for Norwich. Another of the newly promoted sides. Despite taking the | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
blame for Arsenal's winner, Russell Martin should retain his place in | :13:07. | :13:09. | |
the side. QPR will be without their captain Joey Barton, who's | :13:09. | :13:19. | |
suspended. Even though we beat them last year drew away, we have to try | :13:19. | :13:26. | |
and get the have them. They have come on leaps and bounds. They beat | :13:26. | :13:31. | |
Chelsea not that long ago. It is a really, really hard game. We will | :13:31. | :13:37. | |
give everything we have got. Ipswich play Reading tomorrow. Town | :13:38. | :13:40. | |
are currently on their worst run since Paul Jewell became manager, | :13:40. | :13:43. | |
losing their last four games. It's almost four years since Marcus | :13:43. | :13:46. | |
Evans became owner of the club. The ambition - a return to the Premier | :13:47. | :13:56. | |
:13:57. | :14:02. | ||
League. Let's go back to December All round, this is a bright day for | :14:02. | :14:07. | |
Ipswich football club. We can kick on and realise our dreams about | :14:07. | :14:15. | |
promotion. Colossal expectation. Inevitably so. Marcus Evans, was, | :14:15. | :14:22. | |
still is, up one of Britain's richest men. Four years on, are | :14:22. | :14:25. | |
Ipswich any closer to bring premier-league football back to | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
Portman Road? Has any progress being made? I think so. Marcus has | :14:30. | :14:35. | |
said he is in for the long term. We have been particularly talking | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
about putting the building blocks in place to ensure that we can | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
achieve promotion to the Premier League at the earliest opportunity. | :14:44. | :14:53. | |
On the completion of Marcus Evans' champion -- takeover, the team was | :14:53. | :15:00. | |
six. They are now 16th. They are �34 million worse off. Debts have | :15:00. | :15:06. | |
doubled to �66 million. The debt is owned by the owner to himself. It | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
is an inter-company debt. His enthusiasm for this club has not | :15:10. | :15:13. | |
wavered one iota. That has been devastated in terms of the signings | :15:13. | :15:19. | |
we have made over the summer. George has won 17 of his 41 against | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
it in charge. A win percentage of 41 %. That is better than his two | :15:24. | :15:31. | |
predecessors. He's got a vision like I have, a long-term vision of. | :15:31. | :15:36. | |
It is easy to change, and it is easy to make rash decisions. But I | :15:36. | :15:40. | |
don't think he does. I am very comfortable with the relationship | :15:40. | :15:47. | |
that me and him have. In my opinion, Ipswich Town football club is in a | :15:47. | :15:54. | |
mess. I feel sorry for Marcus Evans. He would expect to be in the | :15:54. | :15:57. | |
Premier League by now, as an ambitious businessman. It has not | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
rely happening. All 24 Championship clubs meet next year it to cut | :16:04. | :16:10. | |
costs, and hopefully break even. For Ipswich, it is a work-in- | :16:10. | :16:18. | |
progress. The fans will need to be patient. In League One, an | :16:18. | :16:20. | |
important game for Colchester tomorrow, and their boss John Ward. | :16:20. | :16:24. | |
The U's head to Carlisle, off the back of last week's heavy loss to | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
MK Dons, which led to certain sections of the U's support booing | :16:27. | :16:30. | |
the manager. For Southend.. The run goes on. Unbeaten in 15 and top of | :16:30. | :16:40. | |
League Two heading into their game with Bristol Rovers. In Formula 1, | :16:40. | :16:43. | |
Norfolk-based Team Lotus will compete under their current name | :16:43. | :16:46. | |
for the last time at the Brazilian Grand Prix this weekend. From next | :16:46. | :16:49. | |
season they'll be called Caterham after losing a legal battle with | :16:49. | :16:51. | |
Lotus Renault. That's it .. Plenty more on the website. There's | :16:51. | :16:54. | |
highlights of all the football, on Saturday night on BBC One. Coverage | :16:55. | :17:04. | |
:17:05. | :17:05. | ||
as always on your local BBC Radio The Christmas party season is | :17:05. | :17:08. | |
almost upon us, and some people will be stocking up on their | :17:08. | :17:17. | |
favourite tipple. But just take a look at this 24 cans of premium | :17:17. | :17:22. | |
strength lager. The price? �12, which works out at a very merry 50 | :17:22. | :17:31. | |
pence a can. We have only borrowed these, and someone has opened one! | :17:31. | :17:35. | |
But not everybody is saying cheers. Campaigners say cut price deals | :17:35. | :17:37. | |
like that will only encourage people to drink heavily, and could | :17:38. | :17:47. | |
:17:48. | :17:48. | ||
lead to serious illness. This I do not normally buy lager from | :17:48. | :17:54. | |
the supermarket, but we all like a bargain. This offer to entice | :17:54. | :18:01. | |
people into their stores is a real bargain. Special purchase. �24 for | :18:01. | :18:11. | |
:18:11. | :18:14. | ||
-- 24 cans for 12 pounds. I asked shoppers ith Baker guess how much. | :18:14. | :18:24. | |
:18:24. | :18:30. | ||
One pound 20? Lower? 50 p is the right answer. It should be more. It | :18:30. | :18:35. | |
is very irresponsible. No one could believe that the price. | :18:35. | :18:40. | |
Particularly this man, a specialist at the local hospital. People with | :18:40. | :18:44. | |
liver disease great -- disease are getting younger and younger. | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
youngest woman I have treated was 19. We regularly see women at their | :18:52. | :19:01. | |
mid-twenties. It is simply due to her one thing, drinking. If they | :19:01. | :19:08. | |
can't stop drinking? The outcome is very poor. At this service in | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Norfolk, they see the effect alcohol abuse can cause, and they | :19:12. | :19:19. | |
are horrified by supermarkets selling lager below cost price. | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
wish people good come and meet some of the clients that we work with | :19:24. | :19:31. | |

No one from Tesco was available to comment, but a spokesman did say | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
that if the company were to take action, then all the other | :20:01. | :20:05. | |
supermarkets money to the same. Tesco also point out that this is a | :20:05. | :20:09. | |
matter on which the government needs to take a lead. But who is | :20:09. | :20:17. | |

If you are watching us in Spain tonight, hola! And if you are | :20:27. | :20:31. | |
watching in Greenland, Janine has a message for us... In Inuit! | :20:31. | :20:35. | |
Unfortunately I can't manage that. But I know a man who can. He is a | :20:35. | :20:37. | |
researcher from Cambridge called Stephen Leonard. He has just spent | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
a year with a remote Inuit community. His mission was to | :20:40. | :20:49. | |
preserve their language before it disappeared. Dogs for will | :20:49. | :20:55. | |
transport, hunter-gatherers. The only ones left living the old way. | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
:21:05. | :21:06. | ||
In a remote part of green land, a researcher, learning their language. | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
There is also a lot -- an awful lot of knowledge in these languages. | :21:10. | :21:16. | |
Most of the languages in the world today are not written languages. A | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
language dies out once every two weeks. At the same time, we use the | :21:21. | :21:31. | |
:21:31. | :22:01. | ||
It has been written down. Now Stephen is demonstrating. SPEAKS | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
INUIT Maybe I can tell you about the time that I met a polar bear. | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
Before the polar visit, I had never been seen storms this unforgiving. | :22:16. | :22:23. | |
He has documented their language, but it has two huge threats. | :22:23. | :22:29. | |
Climate and outside cultures. spoken by 770 people. It is not | :22:29. | :22:34. | |
widely heard elsewhere in green land. I want to get there before | :22:34. | :22:40. | |
the sea ice disappears completely. The culture may change as well. | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
think that is the first time we have that anyone speaking Inuit on | :22:44. | :22:54. | |
We may have missed Stir-up Sunday last week, but there's still time | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
to make your own Christmas pudding if you want to. It's not as | :22:57. | :23:01. | |
difficult as you might think. If you fancy having a go, grab a pen. | :23:01. | :23:03. | |
Toby Milligan lives at Potton in Bedfordshire. He's 15 years old, | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
and makes a mean pudding, using a recipe handed down from his | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
grandmother. And it's being sold in delis across the region. Here he is. | :23:11. | :23:17. | |
Hello. I Tantobie, and I am going to be showing you the secret of my | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
Christmas pudding -- puddings. This Christmas pudding -- puddings. This | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
is the key. To this, we add breadcrumbs. A measure of soft | :23:26. | :23:36. | |
:23:36. | :23:38. | ||
brown sugars, and some plain flour. The recipe has origins with my | :23:38. | :23:43. | |
great grandmother. It is a key part of the family at Christmas. An | :23:43. | :23:47. | |
integral part of the pudding is the spices that go into the pudding. | :23:47. | :23:52. | |
Now we have added the spices, we are going too quickly mix it in, | :23:52. | :23:59. | |
and we are going to add the zest of an orange and a lemon. Another key | :23:59. | :24:05. | |
part of a Chris Massey flavour. We are going too quickly add the eggs | :24:05. | :24:12. | |
into the all-important barley wine and stout mixture. Here I am mixing | :24:12. | :24:18. | |
in the stout, barley wines and eggs. The puddings were eventually -- | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
really made for family and friends. This year, I decided to contact two | :24:22. | :24:27. | |
local shops, and they have been very interested, and they are | :24:27. | :24:31. | |
actually buying it, and it has been a fantastic success. So I just | :24:31. | :24:35. | |
added in the wet mixture into the dry now, and the smell is starting | :24:35. | :24:40. | |
to make me feel Christmas the! It is only November! Now that has been | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
mixed in, we are going to work in some of the brandy. There does not | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
matter how much you put in. The more the better! We can tap -- has | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
the mixtures with the right constituents -- consistency. If it | :24:55. | :25:00. | |
peels off like that, it is perfect. It is then left to mature overnight | :25:00. | :25:06. | |
to bring out the Chris Massey flavours. Then, the pudding is then | :25:06. | :25:13. | |
heaped into a bowl and left for eight hours. Here's one that I | :25:13. | :25:22. | |
made! I have always wanted to say Talking about Christmas... Liberal | :25:22. | :25:26. | |
on out of brandy! Are talking about Christmas, we are almost there, not | :25:26. | :25:31. | |
quite. We had snow this time last year, but today it has been a | :25:31. | :25:36. | |
glorious day! We like this at the moment. My central heating bills to. | :25:36. | :25:39. | |
moment. My central heating bills to. It is going to stay mild for a few | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
days. The weekend is a Liberal staying dry with sunny spells. What | :25:42. | :25:49. | |
is not like about that? It back the temperatures are higher than normal | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
because even though that has passed, it will be a westerly wind, because | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
that -- and it is going to be a good thing, because the tides are | :25:59. | :26:03. | |
quite high. What happens normally is that the water -- the weather | :26:03. | :26:08. | |
can help or hinder that problem. It is definitely a benefit, and it | :26:08. | :26:13. | |
should ease the problem. For the cloud satellite picture, it has | :26:13. | :26:17. | |
been very fragmented today. Just capable of producing a shower | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
across Norfolk for a time, but everywhere else, fine and dry this | :26:21. | :26:30. | |
weekend. Not as cold as it might be. The breeze will stop we getting too | :26:30. | :26:40. | |
cold. Nearer five or six along the north Norfolk coast. Quite a lot of | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
bright weather, especially to begin with. A chilly start, of course. | :26:44. | :26:49. | |
Then something, high cloud. The sunshine will be fairly hazy. | :26:49. | :26:54. | |
Otherwise, a fairly dry day, and tempers up to 10 or 11 Celsius in | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
many places. They may just be the hint of rain in thicker, high-level | :26:59. | :27:04. | |
clout. That will not amount to much. There it all goes, and then it will | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
be fine weather through the night. Just a patch or two of rain, as | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
another front comes past, and you can see quite changeable weather | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
the next few days. Quite windy weather as well. But he does -- | :27:17. | :27:24. | |
helps to keep the temperature up. Patchy cloud on Monday, and then | :27:24. | :27:28. |
