Good evening and welcome to BBC Look North. The headlines tonight: | :00:05. | :00:09. | |
Making the most of lower tolls, but will the rising cost of fuel hold | :00:09. | :00:17. | |
back any benefits? Unfortunately, the negative outweighs the positive | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
so the increase in the cost of diesel more than takes out any | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
reduction in the bridge cost. How the unexpected death of an East | :00:26. | :00:30. | |
Yorkshire teenager has led to cardiac screening for fellow pupils. | :00:30. | :00:34. | |
Hopefully, if it picks up one person, that is one person we have | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
managed to save from going through what we have. | :00:38. | :00:41. | |
Out of its depth - another whale beaches itself on the Yorkshire | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
coast. Silver stars - the Humberside | :00:43. | :00:49. | |
presenters shortlisted for a prestigious national award. | :00:49. | :00:53. | |
And this week looks to be much cooler than it was last week. I | :00:53. | :01:03. | |

Good evening. As the historic reduction in Humber | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
Bridge tolls comes into effect, some drivers and businesses have | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
hit out at the Government over rising fuel prices. They say | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
cutting the cost of the crossing is not enough to kick-start the area's | :01:15. | :01:20. | |
economy unless fuel prices are curbed. This was the moment at | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
midnight on Saturday when the tolls were reduced. Dozens of bikers | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
crossed free of charge for the first time. Today the Transport | :01:28. | :01:31. | |
Secretary, Justine Greening, was at the bridge to mark the occasion and | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
promised economic benefits, as Crispin Rolfe reports. | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
Still a headache. Car tolls may have halved but commuters continue | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
to car-share over the Humber Bridge. It's not the price of a ticket, but | :01:44. | :01:53. | |
the cost of a tank of petrol. work over in Grimsby, come over | :01:53. | :02:01. | |
most days of the week. It is still quite costly on top of the fuel. | :02:01. | :02:06. | |
Going to Grimms did -- Grimsby, it still saves you the petrol. Trying | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
to be green and save a bit of money and it is a bit of company as well. | :02:10. | :02:12. | |
Hauliers and transport firms have also benefited from the | :02:12. | :02:15. | |
Government's toll reduction. But Mike O'Neill says any bonus to his | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
firm has been wiped out by the current high price of fuel. | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
difference, any small amount of reduction, makes a massive | :02:25. | :02:29. | |
difference to us. And the bridge toll, it can make a big difference | :02:29. | :02:37. | |
to us, it really can. I think the Government has to go further. | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
Justine Greening, the Transport Secretary, came to take the credit | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
for the toll reduction but couldn't promise petrol price improvements. | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
I am not going to write the next Budget. That is a matter for George | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Osborne. But what we can say in terms of my part of government, the | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
Secretary of State for Transport, the work we are putting in his | :02:55. | :03:00. | |
unprecedented. �30 billion over the next Spending Review. A lot of | :03:00. | :03:03. | |
investment in trains and road schemes as well. I think we have to | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
be positive. People are definitely going to have an advantage from the | :03:08. | :03:11. | |
tolls are coming down but I think hauliers are right to make the | :03:11. | :03:15. | |
point. Away from the transport industry, the reduction is also | :03:15. | :03:17. | |
being welcomed. This housing development on the south bank of | :03:17. | :03:21. | |
the Humber is being built in the shadow of the bridge. That | :03:21. | :03:26. | |
flexibility to be able to announce look beyond and further where they | :03:26. | :03:31. | |
might want to live, and so we certainly have seen an increase in | :03:31. | :03:35. | |
our internet registrations, people signing on to our website. | :03:35. | :03:38. | |
coalition's aim here has always been about boosting the local | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
economy. And after all, lowering the tolls is something none of the | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
current Government's predecessors have ever done. But even while that | :03:46. | :03:48. | |
fact is celebrated, motorists at least are still wondering whether | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
they're any better off. The organisation that represents | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
independent petrol stations is warning of fuel shortages until | :03:55. | :03:58. | |
after Easter and says as a result, some of its members are being | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
forced to up prices at the pumps. The Retail Motor Industry also says | :04:05. | :04:08. | |
panic-buying had a bigger impact because thousands of small petrol | :04:08. | :04:14. | |
stations have been forced out of business in recent years. I'll be | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
talking to them shortly. First, our business correspondent, Paul Murphy, | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
is live in East Kirkby, in Lincolnshire, a village that | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
recently lost its petrol station. Paul, what impact has the closure | :04:25. | :04:35. | |
:04:35. | :04:35. | ||
had? It is not just the loss of a business. It is the loss of amenity. | :04:36. | :04:40. | |
We have perhaps seen a similar situation with the demise of rural | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
post offices. Here, they stopped selling pure last summer. It is not | :04:44. | :04:50. | |
a shop and caravan park. -- selling fuel. The story is all about bulk- | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
buying. The bigger you are, the cheaper of York. The small | :04:54. | :05:02. | |
operators are being squeezed out of the market. This petrol station ran | :05:02. | :05:07. | |
out of petrol last week as panic buyers fill their tanks. Now they | :05:07. | :05:11. | |
are waiting for a tanker delivery which may not come until Friday. | :05:11. | :05:17. | |
With no customers, the business is feeling the pinch. We have had | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
nothing for a last few nights. What will we do? There are seven staff | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
who work here and we cannot stay open the same hours we normally | :05:24. | :05:30. | |
open. We are normally open from 7am to 9pm. We are having to cut away | :05:30. | :05:35. | |
hours down. If as carriages compete to replenish their stocks, it is | :05:35. | :05:40. | |
the smaller, independent businesses who won last in the queue. Here, | :05:40. | :05:44. | |
smaller petrol stations are already under pressure to compete with | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
supermarkets and big chains. cannot buy. Supermarkets are buying | :05:49. | :05:54. | |
for the country, if you like. We are just one. So it is just | :05:54. | :05:59. | |
impossible to compete. His garage in East Kirkby is one of the many | :05:59. | :06:04. | |
which have given up selling petrol. Basic unlike supermarkets, they | :06:04. | :06:11. | |
cannot afford to buy in bulk. -- they say unlike supermarkets. | :06:11. | :06:15. | |
time we get a load, we have not made enough to pay for the next | :06:15. | :06:20. | |
load with the price rises. We cannot get into the market again. | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
The industry body representing petrol retailers is blaming the | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
government Maghreb of a panic buying and the supply shortage, and | :06:27. | :06:33. | |
has asked for an urgent meeting with ministers. -- the Government. | :06:33. | :06:41. | |
It is reckoned four petrol stations have closed within a former grave | :06:41. | :06:51. | |
:06:51. | :06:54. | ||
and mile radius. The panic buying could threaten many more. | :06:54. | :06:58. | |
You speak for independent petrol stations. What are they telling you | :06:58. | :07:05. | |
about supplies and prices? Tell us your petrol stories. We will have | :07:05. | :07:15. | |
:07:15. | :07:25. | ||
In a moment, Humberside becomes the first Fire Service in the country | :07:25. | :07:31. | |
to hire itself out to a private company. | :07:31. | :07:33. | |
200 young people are getting tested for undiagnosed heart conditions | :07:33. | :07:39. | |
which killed their friend. Josh Fell from Hornsea was just 15 when | :07:39. | :07:43. | |
he died last June. Now his parents have helped set up screenings to | :07:43. | :07:48. | |
check teenagers for heart problems. More than 600 people under the age | :07:48. | :07:53. | |
of 35 die from undiagnosed heart problems in Britain each year. In | :07:53. | :07:58. | |
80% of cases there are no symptoms. 40% of those who die are under the | :07:58. | :08:04. | |
age of 18. Vicky Johnson was at today's screening session. | :08:04. | :08:07. | |
Young, fit and apparently healthy, but all these teenagers were eager | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
to be screened. Today's event has been organised by the parents of | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
15-year-old Josh Fell, who collapsed and died last year from a | :08:15. | :08:25. | |
:08:25. | :08:27. | ||
rare undiagnosed heart condition. It is a big comfort. If they can | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
find something wrong with somebody, it has done some good. If only Josh | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
had had that chance for an ECG. It is also good to see that the kids | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
are getting a chance to come and get tested for any conditions they | :08:40. | :08:44. | |
might have. One of the first to arrive was James Oliphant, one of | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
Josh's friends, who was with him when he died. It's really, really | :08:49. | :08:52. | |
good that everything is coming together and everybody can get | :08:52. | :08:56. | |
checked out, to make sure it doesn't happen to anybody else. I | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
am really we leave nothing is wrong with me and I can go a long as I am. | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
Around 12 apparently healthy young people under the age of 35 die | :09:04. | :09:10. | |
every week in the UK from undiagnosed heart problems. But | :09:10. | :09:15. | |
screening days like today to help save lives. The cardiac screening | :09:15. | :09:20. | |
we do we'll pick up about 98% of abnormalities that can lead to | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
sudden death, so the vast majority of abnormalities will be picked up | :09:23. | :09:27. | |
by what we are doing. While this two-day event was organised months | :09:27. | :09:30. | |
ago, the Cardiac Risk in the Young charity admit they've been | :09:30. | :09:32. | |
inundanted with calls following the recent collapse of Fabrice Muamba, | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
the Bolton Wanderers player. Teenagers attending today say | :09:35. | :09:45. | |
:09:45. | :09:47. | ||
screening should be more widespread. It is a really good. My dad also | :09:47. | :09:50. | |
passed away from the same thing so I felt like getting it done, just | :09:50. | :09:55. | |
to be on the safe side. Even if they saved one life today, it will | :09:55. | :09:58. | |
be worth it. Around 200 young people will undergo the cardiac | :09:58. | :10:01. | |
screening. And the Fells have already started organising next | :10:01. | :10:04. | |
year's event in tribute to Josh and to ensure other lives aren't cut so | :10:04. | :10:10. | |
tragically short. A man from East Yorkshire is on | :10:10. | :10:14. | |
board the Clipper Round the World yacht that's been at the centre of | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
a dramatic mid-ocean rescue. David Hawkins from Little Weighton was on | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
board the Geraldton when it was caught in a storm in the Pacific | :10:21. | :10:25. | |
Ocean and struck by a large wave. Four other sailors had to be taken | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
off the vessel but the remaining crew have stayed onboard and are | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
heading for San Francisco. New dispersal powers have been | :10:33. | :10:37. | |
introduced on a Lincoln estate to tackle anti-social behaviour. From | :10:37. | :10:40. | |
today, people causing alarm or distress to the public around | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
Birchwood Shopping Centre will be ordered to leave the area. If they | :10:45. | :10:51. | |
refuse, they could face a �1,500 fine or a possible jail term. | :10:51. | :10:54. | |
Humberside Fire and Rescue has become the first in the country to | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
hire itself out on a private contract. It's won a multi-million | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
pound deal to provide rescue services at the Tata Steel works in | :11:02. | :11:07. | |
Scunthorpe. Humberside's Deputy Chief Fire Officer told us the | :11:07. | :11:09. | |
profit made would help counteract spending cuts imposed by the | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
Government. Linsey Smith had access to the steelworks as the | :11:15. | :11:24. | |
firefighters took part in a training exercise. | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
Like many public services, Humberside Fire and rescue phase | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
big budget cuts. �7.2 million, to be precise. But hiring out his team | :11:35. | :11:41. | |
to tatters deal could avoid cuts to services. The profit will be | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
invested into community safety. will be able to continue activities | :11:45. | :11:49. | |
which we might have had to discontinue in the light of cuts to | :11:49. | :11:54. | |
our budgets. Does this not take your eye off Community Fire and | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
rescue? I can reassure the communities of Humberside there is | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
absolutely no effect on the service being delivered to the community in | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
terms of responding to fires and emergencies. That will remain in | :12:06. | :12:11. | |
local authority control. Working with molten metals carries a host | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
of risks. The company says buyers Services bidding for safety | :12:16. | :12:24. | |
contract's is welcomed. We have hazardous chemicals which provide a | :12:24. | :12:29. | |
personal and environmental risk on site. We work at height and in | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
confined spaces, so there is a large range of risks that we have | :12:33. | :12:39. | |
to manage very carefully. No public money was used to set up the | :12:39. | :12:44. | |
private buyers station and it has created five new jobs. I was | :12:44. | :12:50. | |
working at the system site and had been there for 18 years. I was also | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
a retained firefighter on the site Maghreb. I was looking at the | :12:53. | :12:57. | |
threat of redundancy and possibly having to work our way from home. | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
This opportunity came up in the local area and it is fantastic. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
This could be the first contract of its kind but Humberside Fire and | :13:06. | :13:10. | |
rescue her but will not be the last. A way of boosting the coffers in | :13:10. | :13:20. | |
:13:20. | :13:22. | ||
I did say earlier I would be talking to the organisation which | :13:22. | :13:27. | |
speaks for the independent petrol stations, but due to a power cut at | :13:28. | :13:33. | |
our studio in London, that now looks unlikely, sorry about that. | :13:33. | :13:38. | |
Keep the messages coming in or on the subject of petrol. | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Still ahead, Steelers stung, whole's ice hockey team make the | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
play-off semi-final was. -- Hull. And the whole pensioners up for a | :13:51. | :14:01. | |
national radio award. -- Hull. If you have got a picture you are | :14:01. | :14:11. | |
:14:11. | :14:26. | ||
proud of, send it in. Our director Lisa, good evening to you. | :14:26. | :14:32. | |
An e-mail from Katie, I sought Peter with a pair of binoculars! | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
Does anyone know what he was doing? It is called being an aviation | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
enthusiast! We are going to sea temperatures | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
below average for the time of year, which is very different to what we | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
had last week. Today has been 11 or 12 degrees, tomorrow will feel much | :14:52. | :14:58. | |
colder. It will also turn out to be quite a wet today. This weather | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
front is pushing southwards, bringing called air behind and the | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
chance of some snow overnight. You can see all the cloud building | :15:09. | :15:13. | |
through the course of the afternoon. It has brought us a few showers, | :15:13. | :15:21. | |
and it will stay that way overnight. The wind will be light and from the | :15:21. | :15:29. | |
West, and temperatures will drop to roundabout four or five degrees. | :15:29. | :15:38. | |
The sun will rise tomorrow at around 6:30am. | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
Those are your latest high waters. Tomorrow, they could be a little | :15:43. | :15:47. | |
bit of brightness first to be in the morning, but we are most be | :15:47. | :15:53. | |
looking at cloudy skies we showers developing. The rain will be heavy | :15:53. | :15:58. | |
at times, and we will see a fresh north-easterly wind, and | :15:58. | :16:03. | |
temperatures struggling to make it into double figures. It is going to | :16:03. | :16:10. | |
feel cold when you add on the effect of the wind. Late on Tuesday, | :16:10. | :16:16. | |
we will see the rain turning to snow, added may settle in places. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
It Clare's on Wednesday, although we will be left with wintery | :16:21. | :16:25. | |
showers. As we head towards the bank holiday weekend, the | :16:25. | :16:35. | |
:16:35. | :16:39. | ||
I see Easter has already started at the Met Office! | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
See you tomorrow. Experts are tracking the body of a | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
whale that briefly washed up on a beach near spurn Head later today. | :16:50. | :16:58. | |
They want to find out what killed This 14 ft infant was found on the | :16:58. | :17:04. | |
beach early this morning. It had injuries to his head and a solid. | :17:04. | :17:08. | |
It had scrapes down the side and injuries to its mouth and head. We | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
cannot confirm whether that was the cause of death. | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
It is unclear how wet sustained the trauma, unfortunately it was taken | :17:16. | :17:23. | |
by the tide before a full examination could take place. These | :17:23. | :17:28. | |
standings are becoming more common. In 2006, a sperm whale washed up a | :17:28. | :17:34. | |
Kilnsey. In 2007, one was trapped near New Holland, as last year, one | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
washed up near Skeffling. We have formed a partnership which | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
is hopefully going to give us more of an insight into how and why they | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
are actually coming into the North Sea, and we can help to protect | :17:47. | :17:52. | |
them in future years. The whale is well into the North | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Sea. It may or may not come back to shore, but it does, an autopsy will | :17:56. | :18:01. | |
take place to find out why these mammals keep turning opera on the | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
East Yorkshire coast. -- keep turning up. | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
It certainly seems to happen in time and time again. | :18:14. | :18:18. | |
Scunthorpe United are now five points clear of the League One | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
relegation zone after their 4-1 win over Chesterfield. Despite going a | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
goal down in the first half, they recovered to equalise, then it | :18:29. | :18:33. | |
after the break, they scored three goals in 15 minutes to record their | :18:33. | :18:39. | |
biggest away win of the season. Hull City manager Nick Barmby Saiz | :18:39. | :18:43. | |
despite his side's poor run, they have still not given up on making | :18:43. | :18:48. | |
the Championship play-offs. Sadly's defeat to commentary, their 4th in | :18:48. | :18:54. | |
a row, means they are now five points away from the top six places. | :18:54. | :18:57. | |
The next game is Millwall, a greater challenge. We will not give | :18:57. | :19:05. | |
Dean Windass has been speaking to the BBC's Late Kick-Off programme | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
about his battle with depression. He scored the goal that took his | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
home club into the Premier League and has been treated for the | :19:13. | :19:19. | |
illness. I feel brand new now, and I am glad | :19:19. | :19:24. | |
to get back to working and a bit of normality in my life. There were a | :19:24. | :19:30. | |
lot of things going on that I kept behind closed doors. But then you | :19:30. | :19:36. | |
end up lying to people, and not being honest with yourself. So it | :19:36. | :19:42. | |
was time for me to be honest, really. First and foremost, with | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
myself, and asking for help, and I had a few friends on the way, | :19:47. | :19:54. | |
because others living in Hull at the time, my mum saw me, and I had | :19:54. | :20:01. | |
the courage to come out and I got the opportunity to help. | :20:01. | :20:06. | |
It would have been hard to admit that you're struggling with life in | :20:06. | :20:10. | |
general. What clicked to make you think that? | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
The hardest thing is to admit that you are depressed. The next day | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
you're not OK, and it is a cycle. I thought I was fine, I thought I was | :20:19. | :20:25. | |
all right and I could overcome it, but obviously I was not fine, and | :20:25. | :20:30. | |
went I spoke to Clarke Carlisle, who had been in a similar situation, | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
he said that I should speak to this clinic and they would help me, they | :20:37. | :20:44. | |
are the best people in the world. And I rang them and the that is | :20:44. | :20:49. | |
where it all started. You can hear his thoughts on Hull | :20:49. | :20:54. | |
City's chances of making the play- offs on Late Kick-Off, here on BBC | :20:54. | :21:01. | |
One. An extended interview will also be | :21:01. | :21:05. | |
on the BBC's Board website later tonight. | :21:05. | :21:08. | |
It has been described as the greatest shock in British ice | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
hockey history. Hull Stingrays beat the Sheffield Steelers to set up a | :21:13. | :21:19. | |
semi-final showdown next weekend. The Stingrays saved their best | :21:19. | :21:24. | |
performance for last night. This is the sight of joy and | :21:24. | :21:28. | |
abounded, the sight of history being made. It had all begun the | :21:28. | :21:32. | |
night before, in Hull, where the Stingrays secured a draw in the | :21:32. | :21:37. | |
first leg. That was good, but this second leg was beyond superlatives, | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
as the screaming fans testified, after every Hull golf. And there | :21:43. | :21:51. | |
were five of them in total. At this household today, it was a | :21:51. | :21:55. | |
chance to catch breath and absorb the astonishing events across the | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
county. Our fans were amazing, they are | :22:00. | :22:04. | |
really loud a Hull, and last night in Sheffield, they took over the | :22:04. | :22:13. | |
arena. Our fans were so loud. We said in the dressing room before | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
the game how loud they were, and it got us going. | :22:17. | :22:22. | |
You have got to speak to the man who is driving the train from | :22:22. | :22:26. | |
Doncaster. It was back to the day-job for Paul, | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
who has supported the club through all its guises throughout the years. | :22:32. | :22:37. | |
I am still buzzing, I did not get much sleep last night. You cannot | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
describe how good it feels to beat a team like Sheffield when you are | :22:42. | :22:47. | |
Hull Stingrays. We are not even supposed to be there, and it is | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
unbelievable. Last night, to see them in the | :22:51. | :22:55. | |
stands, with their Jersey's of Commerce win them all over the | :22:55. | :23:01. | |
place, it is part of the great passion which came through. | :23:01. | :23:05. | |
It is a winner-takes-all semi-final against Nottingham on Saturday. | :23:05. | :23:11. | |
Another tall order. Well done to be Stingrays. | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
Despite their 5th straight win, this time against the Bradford | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
Bulls, Hull FC could not quite grab the top spot in the Superleague. | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
This later try by Tom Briscoe helped to secure the points after | :23:23. | :23:30. | |
they held off a fightback by Bradford, winning 24-18. | :23:30. | :23:37. | |
And a hat-trick by Hull Kingston Rovers' Kris Welham of did not help | :23:37. | :23:44. | |
them to victory against Castleford. Cost of the poor the winners 34-30. | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
-- Castleford were the winners. Two pensioners from Hull who have a | :23:52. | :23:56. | |
view on just about everything have been nominated for one of the radio | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
industry's top awards. Beryl and Betty our presenters on a Saturday | :24:01. | :24:05. | |
evening show on BBC Radio Humberside. This morning, they made | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
a special appearance on and David Burns' morning show. -- on the | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
David Burns' morning show. Their special take on life has | :24:18. | :24:24. | |
become an unexpected hit. Beryl and Betty are undisputed stars. At the | :24:24. | :24:28. | |
age of 86 and 90, they have been nominated for a prestigious Sony | :24:28. | :24:38. | |
:24:38. | :24:39. | ||
award. They are the radio industry's equivalent of the Oscars. | :24:39. | :24:43. | |
Something that this has never ever happened to me. I live a very quiet | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
life. I have spoken in the past on a microphone to a roomful of people, | :24:48. | :24:52. | |
but I have never spoken to thousands of people who are | :24:52. | :24:59. | |
listening, and we have now done that for six years. | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
The nomination is for best entertainment programme, and David | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
Reeves, their fellow presenter and producer, knows exactly why the | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
ladies have impressed. I knew I had something magical. | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
They have the Midas touch, there is something about them that is unique | :25:16. | :25:23. | |
and original, and if anything, you should win it for originality. | :25:23. | :25:27. | |
Previous winners include Chris Evans, Russell Brand and Chris | :25:27. | :25:33. | |
Miles. This year, Frank Skinner has also been nominated, and on his | :25:33. | :25:36. | |
show at the weekend, Beryl and Betty were seen as the main | :25:36. | :25:41. | |
opposition. One of them is 86 and the other 90, | :25:41. | :25:47. | |
so I hope they win the, and I will feel terrible if I beat a two old | :25:47. | :25:52. | |
ladies! I have always liked him. | :25:52. | :25:59. | |
I want to grab him! You what? | :25:59. | :26:05. | |
The winners will be announced on 14th May. And with Beryl and Betty | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
the oldest nominees in the history of the Sony Awards, they are | :26:09. | :26:18. | |
already being seen as the start of the show. -- stars of the show. | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
You can hear them with David Reeves on BBC Radio Humberside between 6pm | :26:23. | :26:28. | |
and 7pm on Saturdays. Let's have a recap of the main | :26:28. | :26:32. | |
headlines. 30 years since the start of the | :26:32. | :26:36. | |
Falklands War, Britain remembers those who died -- who died to | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
defend the island. A reduction in the prices for the | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
Humber Bridge cut into effect, but businesses say they are still | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
struggling because of fuel prices. The chance of some rain, turning to | :26:49. | :26:58. | |
sleet in the afternoon. Some responses coming in on the | :26:58. | :27:05. | |
subject of petrol. Karen says the petrol companies have put prices up | :27:05. | :27:11. | |
when people are suffering. James says drivers have had their | :27:11. | :27:16. | |
petrol tanks are siphoned out. The government have a lot to answer for. | :27:16. | :27:21. | |
One man says he travels a long way to work and it used to cost him �15 | :27:21. | :27:27. | |
per week. Now it cost him �60 a week, it has made a well-paid job | :27:27. | :27:32. |
