Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight. | :00:04. | :00:07. | |
Named and shamed - how those who drop litter are to end up on the | :00:07. | :00:17. | |
:00:17. | :00:18. | ||
front page. They people are out there dropping litter, then we have | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
got to pay for it to be picked up, that comes from everybody's | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
taxpayer rates. The soldier who lost a leg in | :00:25. | :00:31. | |
battle now fighting to get back his benefits. Yes, I joined the Army | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
and yes I went out to Afghanistan. No, I did not ask to get injured. I | :00:36. | :00:40. | |
would have thought the government would look after us. | :00:40. | :00:42. | |
Preventing dog deaths in Lincolnshire - investigations into | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
the cause of a mystery canine virus. And we find out what's so special | :00:45. | :00:54. | |
about this classic '80s car. There is some rain to come tomorrow, | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
other than that the week is looking quite nice. I will have the full | :00:58. | :01:08. | |

Hello. It is untidy, unhygienic and against the law. Now, one council | :01:13. | :01:18. | |
is about to launch an name and shame campaign to try and combat | :01:18. | :01:23. | |
the problem of people dropping rubbish. Off -- Boston Borough | :01:23. | :01:26. | |
Council has teamed up with a local newspaper and will soon be putting | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
the faces of those caught glittering one camera on the front | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
page. In total, Boston Borough Council has 72 cameras. All of them | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
will be covering the name and shame campaign. Anybody caught dropping | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
litter on camera will be fined �75. When the council did this three | :01:44. | :01:48. | |
years ago, it proved so popular that one image alone generated more | :01:48. | :01:54. | |
than 80 calls. Like 72 extra bobbies with instant | :01:54. | :01:58. | |
recall memory, that is how Boston Borough Council described their | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
CCTV cameras. Now, they are on the lookout for litterers. If people | :02:04. | :02:08. | |
are out there dropping litter, we have got to pay for it to be picked | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
up and that comes from everybody taxpayers rates and things like | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
that, the top and bottom line of it is that you know it is an offence. | :02:16. | :02:21. | |
Some might say she do not be looking for criminals? We are still | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
looking for criminals and we are still counting people dropping | :02:23. | :02:29. | |
litter. Shot of offenders will be published in the local newspaper, | :02:29. | :02:34. | |
it is a campaign they have backed the four. It engage the readers and | :02:34. | :02:40. | |
was an overwhelming success. We had phone calls immediately some people | :02:40. | :02:43. | |
calling in and telling us to the people wear. By their end of the | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
week all the 12 people we featured had all been caught. When riots | :02:48. | :02:52. | |
broke out in Boston after a football match in 2004, CCTV | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
footage helped to convict troublemakers. Boston's CCTV has a | :03:00. | :03:05. | |
proven track record. Last month the 79 arrests were made as a direct | :03:05. | :03:07. | |
result of it. His need using it to name and shame those who drop | :03:07. | :03:15. | |
litter a step too far? It might be a bit extreme. I think a �50 fine | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
is enough for that. If you dropped your fish-and-chip wrappers on the | :03:21. | :03:24. | |
floor would you be happy for you're pictures to be in the paper? | :03:24. | :03:30. | |
not really, all it would be our own fault. Name them, shame them. Put | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
it in the paper. Littering cost the taxpayer �885 million a year, that | :03:36. | :03:41. | |
is a massive burden in all of a salaries. We do not be great if we | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
did not have to pay that money. We all have to do something about it. | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Whether you agree or not, these cameras are watching. Unless you | :03:50. | :04:00. | |
:04:00. | :04:01. | ||
want a fine, do not drop it! Daniel Hamilton is a director of | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
Big Brother Watch which fights to protect people's privacy. I asked | :04:05. | :04:09. | |
him if he thought was right to try and catch those who drop litter. | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
course I think it is, it makes a great deal of sense for measures to | :04:12. | :04:17. | |
be put in place by local councils, things a bidding extra rubbish bins | :04:17. | :04:23. | |
on that streets. Why I think it is going too far when CCTV cameras, | :04:23. | :04:27. | |
there to solve potentially violent crimes, are being used to catch | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
people dropping litter. Dr welcome this idea? What is the problem? | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
think idea is full of holes. The most significant problem is that | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
while there are some people who maliciously throw away litter and | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
cannot be bothered to put it in the bin, there are people who might | :04:44. | :04:51. | |
drop litter by accident and they will be publicly shamed. If these | :04:51. | :04:55. | |
people wilfully litter streets, surely something has got to be done, | :04:55. | :05:03. | |
this is a good way of doing it. biggest punishment we have in the | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
UK is the societal punishment. The majority of people seeing somebody | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
drop litter would be disgusted and pointed out to them. When we are | :05:12. | :05:18. | |
using CCTV cameras, which are there to catch a hardened criminal, to | :05:18. | :05:21. | |
catch people catching -- dropping a crisp packet, something has gone | :05:21. | :05:27. | |
wrong. Do you not like cameras.? There is an element of that. In the | :05:27. | :05:33. | |
last few years local councils have spent �20 million on CCTV cameras. | :05:33. | :05:37. | |
That would have provided many police officers each year for the | :05:37. | :05:42. | |
last three years. In light of the riots, I would rather this resource | :05:42. | :05:47. | |
was put into frontline policing. it stopped litter louts in Boston | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
and other places, you would agree it would be a good idea? It makes | :05:51. | :05:54. | |
every sense for local community to work with businesses and councils | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
to cut down on littering. I do not the bid is appropriate use CCTV to | :05:59. | :06:07. | |
capture images of people and shame them in local newspapers. Thank you. | :06:07. | :06:12. | |
Do you agree with them? Is the council right to use CCTV to name | :06:12. | :06:17. | |
and shame those who drop litter in the town, or is bidding somebody's | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
face on the front page of the newspaper a step too far? Your | :06:19. | :06:29. | |
:06:29. | :06:41. | ||
We will have some of you thought on this story before we finish at 7pm. | :06:41. | :06:44. | |
On tonight's programme: the race for the play-off places hot up | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
after commanding wins were Hull two teams. | :06:50. | :06:53. | |
A former soldier has told Look North he will continue to fight | :06:53. | :06:57. | |
until he gets his support and help he says he deserves. Aron Shelton | :06:57. | :07:02. | |
from Bridlington lost part of his like fighting in Afghanistan. As we | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
reported last July, he was told he would lose his mobility benefit. | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
Aron Shelton has now won the right to have his case heard at a | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
tribunal. This is all that remains of Aron | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
Shelton's left leg. Into 1007 he was blown up while on patrol in | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
Afghanistan. He has been told he will lose the other leg in the | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
future but is still having to fight the Government after it cut some of | :07:29. | :07:35. | |
his benefits. It is a kick in the teeth. Yes, I joined the Army and | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
yes I went out to Afghanistan. No, I did not ask to get injured. I | :07:40. | :07:42. | |
would have thought my own government, after sending me out | :07:42. | :07:47. | |
there, would look after me. On a good day adding to mock of 400 | :07:47. | :07:51. | |
metres so we got a letter seen his disability allowance has been | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
reduced by �80 a month. Next month he is taking his case to tribunal. | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
I was a fit person and did a lot of it is in the military, now I cannot | :08:01. | :08:07. | |
run one metre it has changed my life. My every day things are | :08:07. | :08:15. | |
struggle. Aron Shelton says he is campaigning for all the other | :08:15. | :08:18. | |
injured soldiers in the same position. There are warnings more | :08:18. | :08:24. | |
may have to fight for support in the future. One of the challenges | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
we face as a military charity, one of their challenge is that the | :08:28. | :08:31. | |
veterans face, is the use of the austerity that although analysts | :08:31. | :08:36. | |
say we will face in the next 10 years. There may be a greater | :08:36. | :08:39. | |
reliance on charities like ourselves. I want the legislation | :08:39. | :08:44. | |
changed, if you get injured, whether it be Afghanistan or any | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
other war as that may come, you are looked after, soldiers are looked | :08:49. | :08:54. | |
after. The Department for work and | :08:54. | :08:57. | |
pensions says it owes all the armed forces and debt of gratitude and | :08:57. | :09:01. | |
anybody who has been refused benefits can appeal. For Aron | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Shelton that is not a p -- good enough, he says he will take his | :09:04. | :09:08. | |
fight to the Court of Human Rights if need be to ensure nobody else | :09:08. | :09:15. | |
goes do what he has. We will continue to follow that | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
story. 200 jobs are under threat at an East Yorkshire factory. The | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
administrators have been called into BritSpace in Gilberdyke after | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
what the company described as significant cashflow problems. The | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
administrators are working to try and find a buyer for the business. | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
Lincoln's long-awaited eastern bypass has moved a step closer, the | :09:36. | :09:41. | |
county council has agreed to commit �47 million of taxpayers' money to | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
the scheme. If the Government agrees, work could begin in 2014. | :09:46. | :09:50. | |
An investigation is under way at a factory near Lincoln after a fire | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
early this morning. Crews were called to the Hughes meat and bone | :09:55. | :09:59. | |
factory in Skellingthorpe at around 5:45am. It is the second time in | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
one year the site has been killed - - hit by fire but nobody was hurt. | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
The building has been heavily involved in the fire. The loading | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
the is damaged and suffered structural collapse. Other than | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
that there is only minor damage to adjacent property. | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
A big store in had Hull city centre has closed for the final time, | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
meeting with and 50 people redundant. TJ Hughes struck | :10:24. | :10:28. | |
yesterday of the company went into administration in June. Its Kings | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Lynn store will close on Wednesday. Animal experts say they are | :10:33. | :10:38. | |
expecting to see more cases of a potentially fatal virus affecting | :10:38. | :10:42. | |
dogs in Lincolnshire and also north Norfolk. There have been several | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
reports of what has been described as seasonal canine illness in the | :10:46. | :10:50. | |
area. Now the Forestry Commission is leading an inquiry to try to | :10:50. | :10:57. | |
find it because. When this dog's owner got it for a | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
walk he had never heard of the mystery section is known as | :11:01. | :11:08. | |
seasonal canine illness. The dog almost died. He is a very active | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
dog but he lay there flopping about. When you called him he would not | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
come. We knew straight away there was something wrong. We might have | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
thought it was something he'd but we were not just a week to come to | :11:21. | :11:25. | |
the bed. Last year more than 50 dogs became sick after walking in | :11:25. | :11:31. | |
certain woodlands, around 10 died. Dog owners have reported cases from | :11:31. | :11:34. | |
North Lincolnshire to Kings Lynn, including parks Ingram thumb and | :11:34. | :11:42. | |
Boston. -- Park's in Grantham. In Scunthorpe, one local vet has | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
treated a number of dogs with their illness. The dogs seem to develop | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
onset vomiting problems, diarrhoea as well. They will end up becoming | :11:54. | :12:00. | |
very dull and listless and subdued. Basically they become dehydrated | :12:00. | :12:03. | |
because of their fluid losses. investigation is under way into | :12:03. | :12:09. | |
what exactly is causing it. Tests at the University of Nottingham are | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
focusing on toxins found in some plants and algae which they believe | :12:13. | :12:17. | |
it might be a potential cause. The Forestry Commission is helping | :12:17. | :12:24. | |
League inquiry. The vet and the poison is information service and | :12:24. | :12:31. | |
ours are putting together up case for vets. They will tell him about | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
what sampling could do to help the research. It will encourage them to | :12:35. | :12:41. | |
get dog owners to fill in questionnaires. Marley is now | :12:41. | :12:43. | |
backed his ill-health but judge says he will not be taking him back | :12:43. | :12:48. | |
to the woods until the sauce is found. | :12:48. | :12:52. | |
Vanessa is in the woods, she dog owners be avoiding going to | :12:52. | :13:02. | |
woodland? Well, as you can see this is the perfect evening to walk the | :13:02. | :13:06. | |
dogs in this beautiful location. The Animal Health Trust says it is | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
not advising people to avoid areas like rotten wood. They say it is | :13:11. | :13:15. | |
simply that they do not have enough information. I was speaking to one | :13:15. | :13:19. | |
local vet he says if it was his dog he would not be bringing him down | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
to this would for the next few months. The Forestry Commission | :13:23. | :13:27. | |
says it wants to make people absolutely aware of their illness | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
which seems to be affecting dogs between August and October. They | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
are hoping that in the next few months they will have a much better | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
understanding of what exactly is And this might be another one | :13:43. | :13:47. | |
you've got a view on, or maybe you've got a dog which has been | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
affected? As always, you can get in touch in the usual ways - there's | :13:50. | :13:53. | |
the email and text details for you now. And thanks for the emails, | :13:53. | :13:57. | |
tweets and texts with your views on the publication of the last daily | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
edition of the Scunthorpe Telegraph. From Thursday, the paper will be | :13:59. | :14:02. | |
published weekly, ending a tradition of 74 years. The owners | :14:02. | :14:11. | |
say they're making the move because of changing readership habits. Just | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
a few of the many messages it came in after the programme on Friday. | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
First of all, Tracy sent a text to say, 'I think it's terrible that | :14:19. | :14:20. | |
say, 'I think it's terrible that the Scunthorpe Telegraph is going | :14:20. | :14:24. | |
weekly. That will mean the news will be one week old.' This from | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
Mark on twitter. 'It's a real shame, for the employees and the readers. | :14:27. | :14:37. | |
:14:37. | :14:45. | ||
It seems that information on the The first weekly one is published | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
on Thursday. Thank you for watching Monday's look north. Still ahead | :14:50. | :14:54. | |
tonight: Hull City look to build on their weekend success as they | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
prepare to take on Leeds United. And we discover why this classic | :14:57. | :15:07. | |
:15:07. | :15:08. | ||
80's car has become a part of one Lincolnshire family. | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
The picture today is from Mark Elvidge, and is of pylons and | :15:11. | :15:21. | |
:15:21. | :15:24. | ||
clouds at Coniston, East of Hull, at lunchtime today Tonight: he said | :15:25. | :15:27. | |
this one will appeal to geeks like me who like clouds and electric | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
pylons. He says he stopped his car to take that at lunchtime. Good | :15:33. | :15:43. | |
:15:43. | :15:51. | ||
evening, Lisa. How are you? I UN She says you need to get out war. | :15:51. | :15:58. | |
That Zurich, not me. Nothing to say about that? | :15:58. | :16:06. | |
I have no credibility at all now. The rest of the week is looking | :16:06. | :16:09. | |
quite nice but tomorrow it will be cloudy with outbreaks of rain. You | :16:09. | :16:13. | |
can see the reasons why on the pressure charts. We have low | :16:13. | :16:18. | |
pressure on a couple of weather fronts tomorrow. You can see on the | :16:18. | :16:21. | |
satellite picture the broken cloud that we have had throughout this | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
afternoon. Cloud is filling up from the South West now and will | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
continue to do so through the evening. The rain will be mostly | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
light and there will be a lot of cloud and it will be milder than | :16:35. | :16:42. | |
last night. Temperatures will drop down to 13 or 14 Celsius. The sun | :16:42. | :16:49. | |
will rise tomorrow morning, as you can see, and those of a high waters | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
for the CV and tomorrow. Tomorrow will be cloudy and dull, and the | :16:57. | :16:59. | |
patchy rain and drizzle continue through the morning into the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
afternoon. It will get a little bit brighter but this will trigger off | :17:03. | :17:07. | |
a scattering of a sharp showers. The best of the weather will be | :17:08. | :17:14. | |
late in the afternoon. Temperatures tomorrow around 20 Celsius, with a | :17:14. | :17:20. | |
moderate breeze from the south. Once we get through tomorrow, the | :17:20. | :17:25. | |
rest of the week is looking fine. Not totally dry in the rest of the | :17:25. | :17:30. | |
on isolated shower, but sunny spells and with lighter ones it | :17:30. | :17:40. | |
will feel warmer at around 20 Celsius. | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
I used to like the old days when you didn't say anything, the | :17:44. | :17:54. | |
mechanical back to that? The history of The Dock Tower in | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
Grimsby is being featured on The One Show tonight shortly here on | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
BBC One. Former England cricketer Phil Tufnell has been to the town | :18:00. | :18:03. | |
to see the tower first hand, and look at how it helped Grimsby | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
become a major commercial port during the mid-19th century. | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Somewhere around here is a huge tower that looks like a good be | :18:12. | :18:20. | |
part of an Italian palace. It's a whopper! The Grimsby dock tower | :18:20. | :18:24. | |
dates back to 1852, and its evidence that the port was a big | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
money owner. Buildings like that do not come cheap. What's a good film | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
doesn't it. And you can see much more of that on The One Show, | :18:33. | :18:35. | |
that's straight after this programme at 7pm, here on BBC One. | :18:36. | :18:38. | |
Well, it's been another busy weekend of sport, as the football | :18:38. | :18:41. | |
season continues and the Rugby League draws to an exciting | :18:41. | :18:43. | |
conclusion. In Super League, both our Hull sides are still in | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
contention for a play-off place. Damian Johnson joins us now. Damian, | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
how did the two sides get on this weekend? They did very well, a | :18:58. | :19:02. | |
whisper it quietly! It looks as though the race for the final Super | :19:02. | :19:05. | |
League playoff place will go down to the last game of the season. | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
Both Hull FC and Hull Kingston Rovers won at the weekend, with | :19:08. | :19:11. | |
Rovers securing their first win in Bradford for two decades. As Simon | :19:11. | :19:14. | |
Clark reports, they keep the pressure on Hull FC for that final | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
spot with just three games to go. It looked like an inauspicious | :19:21. | :19:24. | |
start for the Robins as Bradford punched a hole in their defence. | :19:25. | :19:32. | |
They kept their composure to take control of the game. Rovers, who | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
ruled out Australia's assistant coach as a new boss, where so much | :19:36. | :19:46. | |
in control at the end they were scoring at will. That followed Hull | :19:46. | :19:55. | |
SEs win against Catalans Dragons. Hull rack up 40 points, but this | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
was the greatest prize. Hull maintained the play-off position | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
ahead of Rovers, but take a look at Castleford. Next week, they face | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
Wakefield and an unpredictable derby game. Their last two matches | :20:08. | :20:11. | |
against the Hull side, which means both these George are clubs could | :20:11. | :20:16. | |
get the upper hand and make the play-offs. I think they will be | :20:16. | :20:23. | |
mentally drained after that semi- final. They have gone out and | :20:23. | :20:27. | |
played Leeds again and been taken to the cleaners. We gotta get two | :20:27. | :20:33. | |
from three, definitely. They will have noted the ease with which | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
Leeds scored 50 points at the weekend. | :20:36. | :20:40. | |
So good results for FC and KR, and Hull City also had a good win, | :20:40. | :20:50. | |
:20:50. | :20:51. | ||
didn't they? Off and running after two defeat in their first two games. | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
It's the match every Hull City supporter looks out for when the | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
new fixtures are announced. Well, tomorrow the Tigers travel to local | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
rivals Leeds United full of confidence after securing their | :20:59. | :21:03. | |
first win of the season on Saturday at Ipswich. But next, it's the big | :21:03. | :21:09. | |
one. Hull City's KC Stadium, just along | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
the road from Leeds United. Other clubs are closer to the Kacy, but | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
nothing excites the libel writ like that Hull City feels towards Leeds. | :21:21. | :21:27. | |
There are big club, we're a big club. It's the one to win. | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
Yorkshire clubs going up against each other, there will always be | :21:30. | :21:36. | |
our rivalry. Desperate to beat them. Can't wait to get there tomorrow. | :21:36. | :21:40. | |
One player who has won both strips believes it is a very one-sided | :21:40. | :21:48. | |
rivalry. He it is more from a Hull City cigarette. Leeds still look at | :21:48. | :21:55. | |
Manchester United and the lover those of the world as their rivals. | :21:55. | :21:58. | |
I think it is important that the fans of local and stayed behind | :21:58. | :22:02. | |
them. The Tigers will travel to Leeds hoping they get one over | :22:02. | :22:05. | |
their local rivals, encouraged by their win over Ipswich at the | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
weekends. Serious unrest at Leeds among their supporters, and the | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
fact they had been beaten in both their opening games offers real | :22:12. | :22:18. | |
grounds for optimism. The Leeds game will be tough. A local derby | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
with both sets of fans looking forward to it. If we get another | :22:24. | :22:27. | |
performance like today, we will be difficult to beat, but he can't | :22:27. | :22:31. | |
take anything for granted. A big night ahead for Hull City tomorrow. | :22:31. | :22:35. | |
Victory would give real impetus to their season and bring joy to their | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
fans. And a quick look at the rest of the | :22:38. | :22:41. | |
weekend's results. Scunthorpe United drew 1-1 with Preston North | :22:41. | :22:44. | |
End. The Iron went behind in the first half, but hit back in the | :22:44. | :22:49. | |
second, thanks to an equaliser from Andy Barcham. And in The Conference | :22:49. | :22:53. | |
Premier, Lincoln City drew their first match 2-2 at Southport. But a | :22:53. | :23:03. | |
:23:03. | :23:03. | ||
poor start for Grimsby Town losing 2-0 at home to Fleetwood. | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
One bit of cricket news and the Yorkshire captain Andrew Gale will | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
miss the rest of the season. He broke his arm at the weekend. | :23:10. | :23:13. | |
Rather sad news, that's all the sport for now. | :23:13. | :23:16. | |
It was a car used during their courting days, took bridesmaids to | :23:16. | :23:19. | |
their wedding, and even made the mad dash to hospital for the birth | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
of their first child. So when Jayne and Ian Stringer from Boston sold | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:36. | ||
their beloved Vauxhall Chevette in the 1980s, they missed it. All | :23:36. | :23:39. | |
these years later, the car was still in one piece. Now, they've | :23:39. | :23:42. | |
bought it back and shown it off at this weekend's Classic Car Show. | :23:42. | :23:48. | |
Phillip Norton was there. It was once the UK's best-selling | :23:48. | :23:55. | |
hatchback. But like any car, this was also once a part of a family. | :23:55. | :24:01. | |
It was bought in 1981, brand new, the first new car I ever had. We | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
got married and decided to use the vehicle to transport the | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
bridesmaids. But in 1986, with a growing family, their Chevette was | :24:07. | :24:10. | |
too small. It was sold. The Stringers upgraded, life went on. | :24:10. | :24:18. | |
Until almost 10 years later, when they bought it back. It was in a | :24:18. | :24:22. | |
dilapidated state and had not been used for some time. I decided to | :24:22. | :24:26. | |
strip it down and to rebuild it to its correct form. If I had decided | :24:26. | :24:30. | |
not to have it back and it had gone for scrap, I don't think I could | :24:31. | :24:34. | |
ever that given myself. It is part of the family. After thousands of | :24:34. | :24:40. | |
pounds and thousands of man hours, it is now back to its former glory. | :24:40. | :24:44. | |
You know you're getting old when your first car starts a period | :24:44. | :24:54. | |
:24:54. | :25:01. | ||
classic-car shows. You put ashore on with every advantage to have. | :25:01. | :25:05. | |
You didn't show on and you don't really know what it will be. I have | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
been surprised at the level of interest from people for or classic | :25:10. | :25:18. | |
cars. From the Ford Pilot, to a trusty Skoda, cars of every shape | :25:18. | :25:21. | |
and age. This show has grown from just a handful of entrants, to | :25:21. | :25:28. | |
being one of the biggest classic car meets in the area. | :25:28. | :25:32. | |
Nobody likes this on the road, and the think another car is coming | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
towards him, so they have to back off. This quint is a five-person | :25:39. | :25:49. | |
tandem. This was made a for Dunlop. It is one of only two made, and my | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
uncles botnet and it was their means of transport. This has grown | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
into one of the largest classic-car mates in the area. A fitting reward | :26:01. | :26:08. | |
to mark the club's 21st anniversary. Interesting fact of the day - I had | :26:08. | :26:14. | |
an orange Yvette until I wrote it off. If you have a story you think | :26:14. | :26:17. | |
we should know about, send it in and let us know. Let's get a recap | :26:17. | :26:20. | |
of the national and regional headlines: As new pictures emerge | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
of the riots, David Cameron blames a moral collapse and promises a | :26:23. | :26:25. | |
review of all Government policies. And Boston Council teams up with | :26:25. | :26:28. | |
the town's newspaper to put the faces of those caught littering on | :26:28. | :26:36. | |
the front page. Tomorrow's weather - cloudy, grey and damp morning | :26:36. | :26:38. | |
with outbreaks of rain. It will gradually brighten through the | :26:38. | :26:41. | |
afternoon which will trigger a few sharp showers. Maximum temperature | :26:41. | :26:47. | |
sharp showers. Maximum temperature of 20 Celsius. | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
Our response coming in on the subject of dropping litter and | :26:51. | :26:53. | |
being caught on camera and ending up on the front page of the | :26:53. | :26:59. | |
newspapers. First of all, then says using cameras to catch litter | :26:59. | :27:03. | |
dropping is a step too far and a waste of resources. Get your act | :27:03. | :27:08. | |
together, councils. Another says, have you got the address of a man | :27:08. | :27:11. | |
from Big Brother watch. I will go on then to my bins in his garden | :27:11. | :27:14. | |
and see how bother tears. Use the cameras were is many things as | :27:14. | :27:19. | |
possible to keep the area pleasant. John on Twitter says, a better idea | :27:19. | :27:24. | |
would be to make a guilty do a four day picking up litter unpaid. Rec | :27:24. | :27:28. | |
on Twitter: I think the naming and shaming of litter louts is an | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
excellent idea. These people blighter communities. Finally, why | :27:32. | :27:36. |
