:04:08. > :04:16.when you told you're not British, what was your reaction? I cried,
:04:17. > :04:22.refused to believe that person. And in the end, I spoke to immigration.

:05:05. > :05:09.intention was not to buy, but seemed a reasonable price for such a large
:05:10. > :05:13.property. I ended up purchasing it. I would like to have a restaurant on
:05:14. > :05:20.the top and also some flats. Maybe along the sides. But it has had a
:05:21. > :05:24.history of failed planning applications. Previous ideas were
:05:25. > :05:30.seen as contentious, such as transforming it into a restaurant,
:05:31. > :05:35.apartments and a museum. It was completed in 1883, but even
:05:36. > :05:39.controversial back then, the rector complaining it overshadowed his

:07:30. > :07:36.sorry, rabbit. Have you seen how lately? I will see her next week, I
:07:37. > :07:44.have drawn some pictures. I'm really excited. I am absolutely totally
:07:45. > :07:50.100% proud. It is a great result, great DVD, showing how our kids and
:07:51. > :07:57.Norfolk that we look after Arsenal caring what happens to them. `` are
:07:58. > :08:03.so very caring. And want to share their experiences. 18`year`old Barry
:08:04. > :08:09.went into care at the age of six. It was frightening when I first moved
:08:10. > :08:14.in, because I felt abandoned. Because I have gone into this where
:08:15. > :08:19.environment thinking, who are these people? What do I do? And I was
:08:20. > :08:26.looking after my little sister. She was scared, so I was giving her
:08:27. > :08:32.agony and pain. I had to look after heart and put on a brave face, so
:08:33. > :08:38.that she can know that it is OK. I was there for her more than
:08:39. > :08:41.anything. The film premiered in the council chamber and underscores the
:08:42. > :08:48.rights of young people in jail and what they can expect from a local
:08:49. > :08:53.authority. It is sore important you talk to me about your feelings. If
:08:54. > :08:57.you are unhappy, you can always make a complaint. It is believed to be
:08:58. > :09:01.the first film carrying these particular messages. Norfolk County
:09:02. > :09:06.Council hopes to market the DVD to other local authorities.
:09:07. > :09:11.Let's go back to Christine North, who was born on a British base in
:09:12. > :09:15.Germany, lived most of her life in Essex and is British as far as she's
:09:16. > :09:18.concerned, filled out a passport application and told you are not
:09:19. > :09:24.British. Your reaction was anger and frustration? Both, disappointment,
:09:25. > :09:30.concern for myself and children. I have done jury service twice, had
:09:31. > :09:39.national insurance and Surrey 16, voting since I was 18. So why are
:09:40. > :09:45.you not British bridge my dear father is not on your password? That
:09:46. > :09:52.is correct. What about your children? My eldest can only be
:09:53. > :09:55.linked to me, saw her as can be brought into question, despite being
:09:56. > :10:00.born in Clacton, but my youngest is all right. Her dad is on the birth
:10:01. > :10:08.certificate. Why not just the German? They don't want me either. I
:10:09. > :10:14.immediately phoned them and they laughed and said, why would we want
:10:15. > :10:18.you? You have lived on German soil for six months of your life. We have
:10:19. > :10:23.less reason to claim you than Britain has. I could go back to them
:10:24. > :10:29.now, having been told no. But I just think I would be cheating. You have
:10:30. > :10:35.had some sick pay and stuff like that, nobody queried that? Never
:10:36. > :10:41.brought into question until I applied for a passport. Do you know
:10:42. > :10:47.what can happen now? Several avenues of pursuit and beg from a German
:10:48. > :10:55.passport. Which you don't want to do. I don't. I could apply for
:10:56. > :11:02.nationalisation, costing me ?1000. And you would have to do the test.
:11:03. > :11:09.You don't fancy that? Not really. So you can't go on holiday or do
:11:10. > :11:13.anything. Now, I am stateless. A terrible situation. I hope you get
:11:14. > :11:19.it sorted out soon. I know your MP is on the case. As soon as you do
:11:20. > :11:22.now, please let us. I will let you know I am going on holiday. Thank

:13:21. > :13:26.This works were snapped up by monarchs and ministers. He is not a
:13:27. > :13:33.Marmite artist. He will appeal to most people. But the critics were
:13:34. > :13:36.sniffy? I think it was because of rapid developments occurring that
:13:37. > :13:42.critics did not take to him. He was never seen as cutting`edge. Another
:13:43. > :13:46.knowledge artist very much at the cutting edge is Colin self with an
:13:47. > :13:50.international reputation and he admits Seago will never be one of
:13:51. > :13:59.the great artist. It would probably be like comparing Mount Snowdon with
:14:00. > :14:03.Mount Everest. It is kind of quirky that someone like him still carries
:14:04. > :14:08.on, essentially painting 19th`century painting in the
:14:09. > :14:12.20th`century. It is a curious world with an art as stated by royalty and
:14:13. > :14:15.the public fell short with the critics, but he must have got
