:00:29. > :00:31.A pioneering centre for ex-service personnel who've fallen on hard
:00:31. > :00:34.times. And in football - what reception
:00:34. > :00:36.awaits this man on Tyneside? Sold by Newcastle for �35 million?
:00:37. > :00:39.Hello and welcome to Friday's Look North. In the programme tonight:
:00:39. > :00:41.A new form of cyber bullying. Now junior footballers are being
:00:41. > :00:45.threatened with violence on the pitch.
:00:45. > :00:47.Also tonight - will these signs put an end to sights like these on the
:00:47. > :00:50.Holy Island causeway? A purpose built sanctuary is opened
:00:50. > :00:53.for ex-soldiers who struggle to adapt to life back on civvy street.
:00:53. > :00:56.And meet the old boss. 100-year-old former head teacher, Isobelle, goes
:00:56. > :00:58.back to her old school with some words of wisdom for a new
:00:58. > :01:01.generation. In football - former Newcastle
:01:01. > :01:03.striker, Andy Carroll, makes his first return to the club who sold
:01:04. > :01:12.him for �35 million. And we're on the road to Wembley
:01:12. > :01:14.with Gazza's local team and the first World Cup winners.
:01:14. > :01:17.The FA is calling in the Government's child protection
:01:17. > :01:21.experts to tackle a new problem blighting junior football - cyber-
:01:21. > :01:23.bullying. It comes after reports that some matches have been
:01:24. > :01:27.affected because of intimidating messages posted on social media
:01:27. > :01:35.sites like Facebook. Look North has discovered that one match was even
:01:35. > :01:39.abandoned because of fears for players' safety. In our region,
:01:39. > :01:41.there are 47,000 youngsters playing in FA approved leagues. 18,000 in
:01:41. > :01:45.the FA's Durham region. 13,000 in the North Riding region, which
:01:45. > :01:50.includes Teesside. 11,000 in Northumberland. And 5,000 are
:01:50. > :01:59.registered with the Cumberland FA. Our chief reporter, Chris Stewart,
:01:59. > :02:02.has this exclusive story. Sunday morning and one match among
:02:03. > :02:07.hundreds in our region and two teams which have fair play and
:02:07. > :02:12.respect at the centre of everything they do. And we know why it is so
:02:12. > :02:17.important to them. There's not a great deal of things out here for
:02:18. > :02:22.kids. It is something to keep me busy as well as occupied them.
:02:22. > :02:27.says while his team have not been subject to any online bullying, he
:02:27. > :02:33.knows it happens and we have been told by other coaches by Facebook
:02:33. > :02:37.threats which led to a match being abandoned. We have decided not to
:02:37. > :02:42.identify either team in order to protect those players who have
:02:42. > :02:48.nothing to do with this incident. But what we have discovered is this.
:02:48. > :02:51.Two players from an under 13 team based in South East Northumberland,
:02:51. > :02:56.post it threatening messages on Facebook, aimed at players from a
:02:56. > :03:02.Tyneside team. The Tyneside coach was so concerned he contacted his
:03:02. > :03:07.opposite number. But the game on Sunday morning went ahead anyway. A
:03:07. > :03:12.series of violent tackles was made, and one tackle was so bad, the
:03:12. > :03:17.Tyneside coach ordered his players to leave the field. Northumberland
:03:17. > :03:21.FA is calling on the expertise of the Government's Child exploitation
:03:21. > :03:26.and Online Protection Centre, an organisation better known for its
:03:26. > :03:29.work in keeping children safe from paedophiles on the internet.
:03:29. > :03:34.hope to work with the Leeds at their meetings and then
:03:34. > :03:39.geographically with the welfare officers. And if clubs want extra
:03:39. > :03:43.help, then organisations are prepared to go in and work with the
:03:43. > :03:47.clubs and probably the parents. In many cases probably the parents
:03:47. > :03:57.have no idea what their kids were doing. They would be horrified if
:03:57. > :03:58.
:03:58. > :04:03.they saw some of the content of the Facebook contributions. It is what
:04:03. > :04:09.I believe in. The 70,000 people have been trained in how to stop
:04:09. > :04:13.misuse of the internet, and says it is pleased it is able to help. The
:04:13. > :04:18.organisation says it has the same goal as the FA. Happy and healthy
:04:18. > :04:21.youngsters. As you might have seen in the
:04:21. > :04:24.national news, a woman from York has set fire to herself while
:04:24. > :04:28.pouring petrol in her kitchen. 46- year-old, Diane Hill, who's from
:04:28. > :04:32.the Acomb area, was trying to give some to her daughter who'd run out.
:04:32. > :04:35.The cooker was switched on at the time and the vapours ignited. She's
:04:35. > :04:38.now in hospital with 40% burns to her body.
:04:38. > :04:42.Members of a Tyneside drugs cartel that supplied a former policeman
:04:42. > :04:45.with cocaine have been jailed for a total of 30 years. Stephen Wood,
:04:45. > :04:50.was described as the managing director of the gang at Newcastle
:04:50. > :04:52.Crown Court. He was given 12 years. His brother, David, eight years.
:04:52. > :04:55.Brian Thompson, the half-brother of former Northumbria Detective
:04:55. > :05:00.Sergeant, Paul Thompson, who was fined for possession yesterday was
:05:00. > :05:10.handed six years. Drugs courier, Stephen Burdett, received four
:05:10. > :05:10.
:05:10. > :05:13.years. It followed an extensive undercover police operation. As a
:05:13. > :05:20.result of this investigation we have recovered substantial amounts
:05:20. > :05:23.of cocaine and nearly �200,000 of cash. When we look at the
:05:23. > :05:29.seriousness and how many people were on the investigation, it was
:05:29. > :05:34.worthwhile. We've become quite used to seeing
:05:34. > :05:38.pictures like these during the summer months. Under the water is
:05:38. > :05:41.the Holy Island causeway in Northumberland. Also underwater are
:05:41. > :05:45.cars like this, because their drivers ignored the tide tables.
:05:45. > :05:49.Rescues are expensive and they're on the increase. Which is why the
:05:49. > :05:59.County Council is trying out a new system of warning signs. Jim Knight
:05:59. > :06:01.
:06:01. > :06:06.is at the Causeway for us now. As you say, the numbers of those
:06:06. > :06:11.terrible rescues that were taking place reached record numbers last
:06:11. > :06:16.year. Northumberland County Council knew they had to do something. And
:06:16. > :06:20.this? This is their response. This is an experiment for the first two
:06:20. > :06:25.weeks, but it may be continuous throughout the summer. These
:06:25. > :06:30.gigantic size, this is on the mainland side of the causeway and
:06:30. > :06:34.it tells you clearly to check the tide tables. On the island side of
:06:34. > :06:39.the Causeway, there is another sign and it indicates the safe crossing
:06:39. > :06:43.times. There is no excuse for people not knowing. I have been
:06:43. > :06:49.gauging the reaction from visitors to the new signs. It is an
:06:49. > :06:53.excellent idea. Anyone who gets caught out on there should be built.
:06:53. > :06:59.It causes hustle for the emergency services and put other people's
:06:59. > :07:03.lives in danger. People are people. I must insist, it must go further
:07:03. > :07:09.on because you cannot catch it further down. If it was further
:07:09. > :07:13.down, it would be great. We have looked at the timetable, so yes. I
:07:13. > :07:18.know other people have gone through without looking. It makes you stop.
:07:18. > :07:23.That is what visitors think, what about the islanders? Just before I
:07:23. > :07:29.tell you, let me show you another thing the council had put in place.
:07:29. > :07:35.It is a bar code. If you have a mobile phone, connect it to the bar
:07:35. > :07:39.code and it will automatically going to call up the website for
:07:39. > :07:44.the tide times, which is very clever. Any one on the island can
:07:44. > :07:48.have that at on their phone. But back to what the islanders think.
:07:48. > :07:54.Cannot guarantee it will make a big difference. We have a lot of
:07:54. > :08:00.rescues last year and the guys worked hard. Our aim is too
:08:00. > :08:05.obviously removed or stupidity. Obviously, genuine breakdowns are
:08:05. > :08:10.different, but people do drive into the sea and often knowingly there
:08:10. > :08:15.was water there and ending up in a mess. I know with the tides and
:08:15. > :08:19.things, it is expensive when you get a clever-clogs trying to get
:08:19. > :08:24.off road through the oceans. If it saves that from happening, I know
:08:24. > :08:28.there was quite a few last year, then great. But it is only a
:08:28. > :08:38.particular person who does that anyhow. Are they going to be
:08:38. > :08:41.listening to the big flashing signs or not? I am pleased to say we have
:08:41. > :08:48.got the county council's response. People are sceptical this will work,
:08:48. > :08:52.will it do the trick? It is experimental for fortnight. I urge
:08:52. > :08:58.everybody so he comes here, see the thing in action. We welcome
:08:58. > :09:01.comments. But they can ring in on the council's freephone number or
:09:02. > :09:06.contact the website, we can move the signs, alter what they're
:09:06. > :09:10.saying. It is something to highlight new visitors to the
:09:10. > :09:14.island, they must check timetables. This is all about public
:09:14. > :09:18.condemnation, but what if people just want to go for it anyway, the
:09:18. > :09:23.idiots who do that? At the end of the day you get a couple of people
:09:23. > :09:32.like that. But most people are in an unusual situation and it is
:09:32. > :09:37.emphasising to them they must not sure what they're doing. There will
:09:37. > :09:41.be a hardcore group of people. The first week the causeway has opened,
:09:41. > :09:49.it happened, and it has continued for the last 58 years. We are
:09:49. > :09:53.hoping this will make people look and make sure they are safe. Will
:09:53. > :09:56.have to wait and see. Now, if you've got some money,
:09:56. > :09:58.we'll give you some more. But if you haven't got the cash, you're
:09:58. > :10:01.getting nothing. That's the way the European Regional Development Fund
:10:01. > :10:05.works. It's a pot of cash in Brussels earmarked for this region
:10:05. > :10:07.and waiting to be spent. But it can only be accessed if local
:10:07. > :10:10.authorities have so-called 'match funding'. So in these cash-strapped
:10:10. > :10:13.times there's a real risk we'll miss out on the money on offer.
:10:13. > :10:18.Fergus Hewison, reports. It's a high-tech space for 21st
:10:18. > :10:21.century digital businesses in a former toffee factory. And it was,
:10:21. > :10:26.in part, funded using the European regional Growth Fund. But now
:10:26. > :10:29.there's a row about the future of that fund. The process has
:10:29. > :10:32.completely flatlined and we need jobs and we need growth in this
:10:32. > :10:35.region and if we can use European Regional Development Fund to do
:10:35. > :10:38.this, then the Government should be supporting us and finding match
:10:38. > :10:42.funding. In the North East, the European Regional Development Fund
:10:42. > :10:45.is worth �328 million. It's designed to promote economic growth
:10:45. > :10:49.and competition. Money from the fund for projects has to be matched
:10:49. > :10:52.locally by other organisations - including councils. It must be
:10:52. > :10:56.allocated to projects by 2013 or the outstanding cash can be taken
:10:56. > :11:00.back by Brussels. But there's still over �100 million in the pot
:11:00. > :11:04.waiting to be spent. Now there are concerns some of this remaining
:11:04. > :11:09.cash won't be spent before that deadline, but these claims have led
:11:09. > :11:12.to accusations that Labour's scaremongering. The Coalition
:11:12. > :11:16.Government is on track with the spending on the fund. There's
:11:16. > :11:20.around �100 million left. We have �60 million of that approximately
:11:20. > :11:23.committed which leaves �40 million that we need to spend over the next
:11:23. > :11:27.couple of years and some of that match funding can come from the new
:11:27. > :11:29.Regional Growth Fund which is very likely to be the way that we will
:11:30. > :11:32.actually fund some of those projects over the next couple of
:11:32. > :11:35.years. The Department that administers the fund in the North
:11:35. > :11:39.East says it too is confident the fund's cash will be allocated in
:11:39. > :11:42.time. But it admits the pace of spending is critical.
:11:42. > :11:48.And there's more on that on this weekend's Sunday Politics at 12:00
:11:48. > :11:51.noon here on BBC One. A west Cumbrian theatre with a
:11:51. > :11:53.unique history is to have a multi- million-pound makeover. The Arts
:11:53. > :11:56.Council has earmarked �2 million towards the refurbishment of the
:11:56. > :12:00.Rosehill near Whitehaven. It's one of only a few organisations across
:12:00. > :12:05.the country to receive such support. The performance area is the only
:12:05. > :12:07.one in the UK to have been designed by the famous, Oliver Messel.
:12:07. > :12:10.After more than three years of planning and fundraising, a
:12:10. > :12:14.purpose-built centre for ex-service personnel who've fallen on hard
:12:14. > :12:17.times has been officially opened in Catterick. Joining Civvy Street can
:12:17. > :12:20.prove very hard for some ex military staff. The centre gives a
:12:20. > :12:30.fresh start to those that find themselves homeless. Cathy Killick,
:12:30. > :12:34.reports. Open! Although the Foreign
:12:34. > :12:39.Secretary performed the opening honours today, the Beacon, as it
:12:39. > :12:44.has known has been open six months. It has been fall from the first
:12:44. > :12:49.date. Its 31 residents are all ex- military whose lives have fallen
:12:49. > :12:54.apart. This gives them a home, training, health care and support
:12:54. > :12:59.while they get back on track. Mike Perkins served in the Coldstream
:12:59. > :13:03.Guards. He saw a colleague killed in action and suffered a severe
:13:04. > :13:08.mental breakdown. The media suite has helped him find his voice.
:13:08. > :13:13.you could have seen me when I moved in here, I was nine stone and had
:13:13. > :13:17.not eaten for days. I had no confidence, no self-esteem and
:13:17. > :13:23.won't open up to it anybody. Constantly crying and having panic
:13:23. > :13:27.attacks. They nursed me through it. I am so grateful to them. Compared
:13:27. > :13:34.with civilians, veterans are twice as likely to have mental health
:13:34. > :13:40.problems. PTSD can blight of their lives, as Paul knows only too well.
:13:40. > :13:44.He did the Clearing up, his words, when his best friend shot himself
:13:44. > :13:50.in the head in Northern Ireland. The repercussions were far reaching.
:13:51. > :13:56.I lost my wife, relationship breakdown. I lost other ties in my
:13:56. > :14:01.family. Found myself on my brother's couch. Found myself on
:14:01. > :14:06.the street through PTSD and life without the army. Six months here
:14:06. > :14:12.and Paul is putting his past behind him. I feel positive, I am back in
:14:12. > :14:16.touch with my wife. I have big plans in the security industry.
:14:16. > :14:22.unemployment rate for veterans is twice the national average, hence
:14:22. > :14:26.the bakery. It is designed for training so they leave with a skill.
:14:26. > :14:30.Still to come in tonight's Look North: Jeff's here with the sport
:14:30. > :14:37.news. And find out how you can watch little cuties like these
:14:37. > :14:41.arriving without leaving the comfort of your computer.
:14:41. > :14:47.As the weather turns cooler, I will have your forecast later in the
:14:47. > :14:51.programme. She started teaching before the war
:14:51. > :14:53.and retired when Ted Heath was still the Prime Minister. But today
:14:53. > :14:56.Isobelle McGregor, was back in class celebrating her 100th
:14:56. > :15:02.birthday by returning to the school where she'd been headmistress 40
:15:02. > :15:08.years ago. A few things have changed since then, but as Peter
:15:08. > :15:11.Harris reports, she was soon back in the old routine.
:15:11. > :15:21.The last time Isobelle was here she was the headmistress and some of
:15:21. > :15:23.
:15:23. > :15:29.the staff were her pupils. Mind you, she wasn't a want to mess with.
:15:29. > :15:36.Did you have to give many became? No, I didn't. We understood one
:15:36. > :15:42.another. I think it is clear, she started out in the 1930s, teaching
:15:42. > :15:52.at a middle and she got to know a young jockey, turned entertainer.
:15:52. > :15:56.
:15:56. > :16:01.# Ago cleaning windows... George Formby had been a stable boy.
:16:01. > :16:09.He used to arrive for a holiday. Inevitably he visited the school.
:16:09. > :16:16.What was he like? Jolly. A headship here in the Yorkshire Dales
:16:16. > :16:21.followed in 1951, her reputation survives. She was very nice. I
:16:21. > :16:30.think she was very strict when she was here. It is weird she is 100
:16:30. > :16:34.and we are only 10. It was rather freaky. That is really old. This is
:16:34. > :16:40.the school logbook which goes back to the war, talking about when they
:16:40. > :16:47.were admitting evacuees in 1940 from the towns. It includes
:16:47. > :16:54.Isobelle's time, she has written an entry every day from 1951.
:16:54. > :17:01.Including this one, immunised nine children against diphtheria.
:17:01. > :17:11.makes me happy to come back here today. I never dreamed it possible.
:17:11. > :17:16.
:17:16. > :17:26.How kind you all are. I wonder what she thinks of Ofsted?
:17:26. > :17:27.
:17:27. > :17:32.We will hear about the weather soon, but first the sports news.
:17:32. > :17:36.An important weekend of football. Play-offs, Wembley trips and
:17:36. > :17:41.European qualification coming nicely to the boil. In a Premier
:17:41. > :17:45.League, how will Sunderland coach at Manchester City? What sort of
:17:45. > :17:49.reception will there be on Tyneside for the play Newcastle sold for �35
:17:49. > :17:52.million? It was goals like this against
:17:52. > :17:58.Liverpool that persuaded the Merseysiders to smash the British
:17:58. > :18:06.transfer record for Andy Carroll. Coincidentally that was scored in
:18:06. > :18:10.Alan Pardew's first game. Since he was sold, the Magpies had hit new
:18:10. > :18:15.heights but Andy Carroll is struggling to hit a barn door.
:18:15. > :18:19.is a brilliant player, there is no doubt about that. You don't get a
:18:19. > :18:28.price tag of �35 million without doing something. We will welcome
:18:28. > :18:32.him back with open arms, but we want to win. Injury will rob United
:18:32. > :18:37.of their skipper for at least the next two games. Alan Pardew is
:18:37. > :18:47.hoping Everdon don't steal away they European place. The focus is
:18:47. > :18:49.
:18:49. > :18:55.to try and get a Air Europa place. The semi-finals, I think if the
:18:55. > :19:01.losing finalist takes a spot over the efforts of a 38 gain period, is
:19:01. > :19:06.unfair. It also seems unfair to ask Sunderland to go to Manchester City.
:19:06. > :19:11.They did beat them on New Year's Day, but on their own patch, City
:19:11. > :19:16.have won 15 out of 15 this season. We have really tough games, the
:19:16. > :19:24.Easter programme with Tottenham and Everton. It does not get much
:19:24. > :19:29.easier. I think there are games that if we are not focused then we
:19:29. > :19:33.will suffer accordingly. Carlisle manager, Greg Abbott, has
:19:33. > :19:37.called on the fans to rally round and steered them into the play-offs.
:19:37. > :19:42.The weekend win over Milton Keynes has left United in the 6th and
:19:42. > :19:49.final play-off spot with just eight games. Tomorrow they are up against
:19:49. > :19:52.Huddersfield Town who are two places above them in 4th. March's
:19:52. > :19:57.results have convince people we are in with a squeak of getting in with
:19:57. > :20:03.the six. If you are in the six, you are in with a chance. If you get on
:20:03. > :20:08.a run and momentum, we have got that right now. We will need the
:20:08. > :20:13.fans are more and more because if we can keep his momentum going we
:20:13. > :20:17.are almost there. Middlesbrough who are 5th in the
:20:17. > :20:21.Championship, go to Brighton who are 4th. Hartlepool are hoping to
:20:21. > :20:26.have looked James back in the squad, when Sheffield United are at
:20:26. > :20:30.Victoria Park. The 17-year-old has been out for a month with a back
:20:30. > :20:33.injury which the club has put down to growing pains.
:20:33. > :20:38.York City have booked their place at Wembley for the FA Trophy final
:20:38. > :20:42.in May. The day after that could see two Northern League clubs go
:20:42. > :20:49.head-to-head in the final of the FA Vase, one by Whitley Bay for the
:20:49. > :20:53.last three years. But Dunstan and West Auckland have to win their
:20:53. > :20:57.respective semi-finals. They are hoping for a capacity
:20:57. > :21:03.crowd of around 2000 in this corner of County Durham tomorrow. Standing
:21:03. > :21:09.in the way of a semi-final are Herne Bay. When you say World Cup
:21:09. > :21:13.winners at Wembley, 1966 comes two minds. But West Auckland's Ms
:21:13. > :21:18.bizarre claim to fame is twice winning the World Football Club
:21:18. > :21:23.Championship in Italy just over a century today. There is always the
:21:23. > :21:31.World Cup to go back to, but my memories go back to 1961 when we
:21:31. > :21:36.went to Wembley. Unfortunately we lost, but a great day out. We have
:21:36. > :21:41.had nothing since. This is going to be massive. Despite the history, no
:21:41. > :21:47.one is getting ahead of themselves, certainly not the general manager.
:21:47. > :21:50.Let's not count our chickens. These are a decent side. If we get
:21:50. > :21:55.everybody from the village round here on Saturday, we will put them
:21:55. > :22:01.to bed, I think. This is Wembley at the end of the day. You have to
:22:01. > :22:06.make the best of it. Up the road at Dunston, a 37-year-old Northern
:22:06. > :22:11.League Cup, short on history but big on ambitions. Biggest game,
:22:11. > :22:19.without the shadow of a doubt. One more game, then we are going to
:22:19. > :22:23.Wembley. In the home leg against Derbyshire, they nearly scored --
:22:23. > :22:28.pulled off the striker he just before the Net to the goal.
:22:29. > :22:32.wasn't having one of his good days, but I always knew what he could do.
:22:32. > :22:39.And then two minutes later he hit one in. I'm glad I did not take him
:22:39. > :22:44.off. I always get in a huff when he takes me off. I always feel I am
:22:44. > :22:52.going to score. After Whitley Bay's success could be a coup for the
:22:52. > :22:56.Northern League? The League is that strong. We play against good teams
:22:56. > :23:04.week-in, week-out and when you go around the country it but you in
:23:04. > :23:08.good stead against those teams. Now, the sun is shining, newborn
:23:08. > :23:18.lambs are running around the field. If you cannot lead -- leave your
:23:18. > :23:22.desk, there is a web cam to a sheep pen in County Durham.
:23:22. > :23:28.You can see because the camera allows you to watch as they are
:23:28. > :23:32.born. We have been to meet some of the fleecy newcomers.
:23:32. > :23:38.Feeding the Lambs, these children from Newcastle enjoy a spring in
:23:38. > :23:42.the countryside. Now, children a year there will be able to watch
:23:42. > :23:49.Lambs as they are born with his camera in the sheds streaming live
:23:49. > :23:57.on the internet. There is a camera for the Panda bears in Edinburgh
:23:57. > :24:01.Zoo. I was reading about that and thought it was a good idea. Watch
:24:01. > :24:08.out for a mother who is restless walking in a circle and you might
:24:08. > :24:14.see the arrival of a newborn lamb. This is the newest arrival, only
:24:14. > :24:19.about an hour ago. Still a bit wet and yellow. If you have never seen
:24:19. > :24:28.a lamb being born, it is excellent. Most visitors have never seen
:24:28. > :24:34.triplets before. They think it is unbelievable. This little girl was
:24:34. > :24:40.one of the first lambs born here. With more than 100 new lambs still
:24:40. > :24:47.to be born, there will be plenty more chances to see them being born
:24:47. > :24:54.alive on the camera. -- life on the camera.
:24:54. > :25:04.I want her as a babysitter! It is a shame the weather is going
:25:04. > :25:06.
:25:06. > :25:09.It is, but the morning Sunrise was glorious. Maybe we should have
:25:09. > :25:14.taken Matt red tinge as a warning because it is turning cooler
:25:14. > :25:19.through the weekend. It should be dry. In the evening, Sunshine to
:25:19. > :25:23.end the day for most of us. Overnight the cloud spills in from
:25:23. > :25:31.the north and most places end the night on a cloudy note. Light rain
:25:31. > :25:36.or drizzle, nothing much more than that. A bit of a cloudy start for
:25:36. > :25:40.many tomorrow. Light rain, but the cloud should lift and break up
:25:40. > :25:43.nicely and for the afternoon there should be some decent sunny spells.
:25:43. > :25:49.On paper it sounds like the last few days, but the big difference
:25:49. > :25:54.will be the temperatures. Cooler tomorrow, and today we saw 18, 19
:25:54. > :25:59.Celsius in the east. Knock 10 degrees off bat tomorrow and it
:25:59. > :26:06.gives you a ballpark figure. We might scrape into double figures in
:26:06. > :26:13.land. And in parts of Cumbria you could see 12 or 13 Celsius. But all
:26:13. > :26:17.in all it will feel colder. But as I said, it will state mostly dry.
:26:17. > :26:23.There is still a lot of cloud around as we head through the rest
:26:23. > :26:26.of the weekend but still mostly dry. On Monday looks as though there
:26:26. > :26:30.will be more rain and white speckles and monks there on the
:26:30. > :26:35.back edge of the rain. Wintry stuff as well. Shouldn't be too surprised,
:26:35. > :26:40.that is what the weather should be doing at this time of year. What we
:26:40. > :26:45.have had over the last week has been exceptional. Some brightness,
:26:45. > :26:49.but a notable drop in temperatures. Temperatures pick up for some of us
:26:49. > :26:53.on Sunday, typically into the low teens and it should be dry with
:26:53. > :26:58.bright spells. Cloud the picture for most of us on Monday and
:26:58. > :27:03.temperatures take a real depth. Single figures for most on Tuesday
:27:03. > :27:08.with a mix of rain and may be sleet or snow over the hills. Keep your
:27:08. > :27:10.weather pictures coming, and I would like to share a big thank you,
:27:10. > :27:17.but see there would like to thank but see there would like to thank
:27:17. > :27:21.you. And the 2012 weather calendar rake in this phenomenal amounts for
:27:21. > :27:26.Children In Need. Every penny of that will make a difference to
:27:26. > :27:30.young people. Thanks once again. Result!
