up tonight: No more, a North East charity calls for an immediate end | :00:12. | :00:16. | |
to onshore wind farm approvals in North England. | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
The disabled man who says his records were illegally accessed by a | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
private investigator plans legal action. | :00:24. | :00:32. | |

Teesside long jumper Chris Tomlinson... After eight years this | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :00:58. | ||
man is the coach in charge of one of The arguments over how we should be | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
producing our future energy continue to rage. This summer's hot topic, of | :01:02. | :01:05. | |
course, is fracking. It's dominated the national headlines, and pushed | :01:05. | :01:10. | |
more local issues over things like wind turbines, into the background. | :01:10. | :01:14. | |
But pictures like these have brought the wind farm debate sharply back | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
into focus. This is a view of Dunstanburgh Castle, in | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
Northumberland, which you'll only see from a boat. This is a shot | :01:24. | :01:28. | |
taken further South, near Coquet Island. They've been issued by the | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
Northumberland and Newcastle Society, with the message - enough | :01:30. | :01:33. | |
is enough. The Society's calling for an immediate end to wind farm | :01:33. | :01:39. | |
approvals in Northumberland. Our Political Editor Richard Moss is in | :01:39. | :01:47. | |
Northumberland near Dunstanburgh for us now. Richard. This is the middle | :01:47. | :01:53. | |
fields wind farm, the very turbines you can apparently see looming over | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
the castle in those dramatic pictures. It is that kind of impact | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
on the historic and beautiful scenery of Northumberland that is | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
worrying the society. They were initially rejected by local planners | :02:07. | :02:14. | |
only to be approved by government planning inspectors. The society | :02:14. | :02:19. | |
wants an immediate band on onshore wind farms in this society. | :02:19. | :02:22. | |
don't see the landscape, you just see the blades of the wind farm. | :02:22. | :02:32. | |
:02:32. | :02:36. | ||
But, of course, the vast majority are put in Northumberland. 20 times | :02:36. | :02:43. | |
than art -- 20 times more than placed in Oxfordshire. | :02:43. | :02:47. | |
perspective when you get down to the castle is very different. From the | :02:47. | :02:53. | |
coast you can't see them at all. When I spoke to visitors going to | :02:53. | :02:57. | |
and from the castle, they were much less exercised than the society | :02:57. | :03:03. | |
about the impact of turbines on the landscape. They changed the | :03:03. | :03:08. | |
landscape. I don't know if I agree or disagree with them, to be honest. | :03:08. | :03:16. | |
I would not favour them, if it is a difference between nuclear energy | :03:16. | :03:21. | |
and wind power I would go for wind power every time. It is a necessary | :03:21. | :03:28. | |
evil. What is the future now for these wind farms, Richard? More | :03:28. | :03:37. | |
applications are coming in. More iconic Northumberland views are | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
affected. The public seems to be conflicted about this. The | :03:42. | :03:48. | |
Conservatives don't really want to see more onshore developments, but | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
the Secretary of State for climate change is a Liberal Democrat and has | :03:51. | :03:58. | |
been more positive. Today I spoke to a number of Green representatives | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
who backed these wind farms. They aren't so keen these days. They | :04:02. | :04:07. | |
believe the future is to go off the coast. But it depends on your | :04:07. | :04:11. | |
perspective. Look at those shots from the sea and they look | :04:11. | :04:16. | |
terrific. From the land they don't seem to make quite as big an impact. | :04:16. | :04:22. | |
-- horrific. So should we accept them, or has the | :04:22. | :04:25. | |
countryside seen enough wind turbines? You can join the debate on | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
the Look North Facebook page, the address is on your screen The | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
unemployment rate in the North East is still the highest in the country. | :04:32. | :04:38. | |
The unemployment rate in the North East is still the highest in the | :04:38. | :04:41. | |
country. Latest figures show that 7,000 more people lost their jobs in | :04:41. | :04:44. | |
the last three months. Workers in the region lucky enough to have a | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
job are paid some of the lowest average wages in Britain. But behind | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
those grim figures, parts of the region have actually seen falling | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
unemployment. Our Political Correspondent, Mark Denten, is with | :04:53. | :05:03. | |
:05:03. | :05:03. | ||
me now. Mark, at first sight these pictures do look pretty grim. | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
they do. It is the highest unemployment in the country, but how | :05:07. | :05:09. | |
do we compare to the rest of Britain? | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
While unemployment is up 5.6% in the North East, it's fallen by a quarter | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
in the South East. But the jobless rate is increasing even more in some | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
areas. In the West midlands it is up 18%, more than three times the | :05:21. | :05:24. | |
increase in this region. And a different picture emerging depending | :05:24. | :05:29. | |
on your age? Yes, there does appear to be an age divide in this region. | :05:29. | :05:34. | |
Youth unemployment in the North East went up 5,000 in a year. That's for | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
people aged 16-24. But in exactly the same period unemployment among | :05:39. | :05:44. | |
older workers those age 50-64 dropped by 8,000. Now, there have | :05:44. | :05:47. | |
been some high profile campaigns by major supermarkets to recruit older | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
workers that may just be having an impact - little comfort, though, for | :05:51. | :05:53. | |
those younger workers, and indeed the thousands expecting their | :05:53. | :06:03. | |
:06:03. | :06:04. | ||
A-level results tomorrow. And a mixed picture on wages? Yes, people | :06:04. | :06:07. | |
in the North East still have the lowest average weekly wages in | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
England. The average weekly wage across the country is �568. In the | :06:11. | :06:18. | |
North East it is �492. And one final worrying point - women are still | :06:18. | :06:22. | |
falling behind. While both men's and women's wages went up in the region | :06:22. | :06:26. | |
by about �30 a week in the last year, women in the North East are | :06:26. | :06:36. | |
:06:36. | :06:39. | ||
still on average earning �85 a week The family of a disabled Cumbrian | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
man whose personal finance records were illegally obtained by a private | :06:42. | :06:45. | |
investigator are planning legal action. Daniel Morton's bank | :06:45. | :06:48. | |
statements and benefits records were obtained whilst he was pursuing an | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
insurance claim over a car crash. A private investigator was jailed for | :06:53. | :06:55. | |
obtaining the information but the insurance companies dealing with Mr | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
Morton's claim say they had nothing to do with the crime. Alison Freeman | :07:00. | :07:08. | |
reports. Even simple tasks are difficult for | :07:08. | :07:14. | |
Daniel Morton. It was thought he'd never walk or talk again, after a | :07:14. | :07:17. | |
car crash in 2007. But whilst Daniel battled to get better and receive | :07:17. | :07:19. | |
compensation, a private investigator was illegally obtaining his personal | :07:20. | :07:29. | |
:07:30. | :07:34. | ||
financial records. It is ruthless, really. That they are trying to get | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
involved in a disabled person's life. Daniel, now 32, was a | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
passenger in an uninsured driver's car which crashed on the A66 near | :07:42. | :07:45. | |
Great Clifton. A private eye admitted - and was jailed for - | :07:46. | :07:49. | |
getting records belonging to Daniel and some of the others who were | :07:49. | :07:55. | |
hurt. It's not clear who the information was for. I taught him to | :07:55. | :08:04. | |
walk and talk. I brought him to how he is now. And for people to come | :08:04. | :08:09. | |
and say that it wasn't like that, that he was putting it on and trying | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
to dig out on him... It's ruthless. The Serious Organised Crime Agency | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
said the investigator used a technique called 'blagging' which | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
means getting past security measures simply using persuasion or | :08:21. | :08:27. | |
pretending to be someone else. The Motor Insurers' Bureau, deals with | :08:27. | :08:33. | |
compensation claims where the driver is uninsured. In a statement, the | :08:33. | :08:35. | |
bureau vigoriously denied any involvment, saying IT had not | :08:35. | :08:38. | |
initiated any enquiries by private investigators or instructed them, | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
either directly or indirectly. Insurance company Tradex was | :08:43. | :08:50. | |
appointed by MIB to handle and pay out on the claims. It refused to | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
comment until it had completed enquiries with the independent | :08:52. | :08:59. | |
claims agent it appointed. Daniel is likely to need greater care in the | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
future and the family says it plans to sue for invasion of privacy. | :09:03. | :09:06. | |
Alison Freeman, BBC Look North, Workington. | :09:06. | :09:10. | |
A man's been charged after an incident in which a police horse was | :09:10. | :09:13. | |
allegedly punched in the face at the Tyne Wear derby match. Trouble | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
flared at the match at St James' Park in April. 45-year-old Barry | :09:16. | :09:20. | |
Rogerson, from Bedlington, has been charged with violent disorder. He's | :09:20. | :09:25. | |
due before Newcastle magistrates in September. | :09:25. | :09:28. | |
An expensive new brand and logo for North Yorkshire's Police and Crime | :09:28. | :09:32. | |
Commissioner has caused anger in the county. Julia Mulligan, who started | :09:32. | :09:36. | |
in the role late last year, says she's saved the police money in | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
other areas. But she's under fire for spending more than �10,000 for | :09:40. | :09:44. | |
the new branding when the Force is facing millions of pounds of cuts. | :09:44. | :09:53. | |
Phil Chapman has this report. There have been many famous | :09:53. | :09:57. | |
re-brands over the years, whether for corporate reasons or design | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
trends. Even these proved controversial at some stage. But is | :10:03. | :10:06. | |
this public money well spent for the Police and Crime Commissioner for | :10:06. | :10:11. | |
North Yorkshire? The people of North Yorkshire are well aware of the | :10:11. | :10:15. | |
impact cuts are having on the police force, so it is inevitable that | :10:15. | :10:20. | |
these projects will attract attention from the public and | :10:20. | :10:28. | |
serving members of the police. Around the corner from the Police | :10:28. | :10:35. | |
Federation's office, what do people think of the rebranding? I think it | :10:35. | :10:44. | |
is a waste of taxpayer money for a logo I could probably do at home. | :10:44. | :10:49. | |
�10,000 is excessive given that money is very tight at the moment. | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
think maybe more police on the street. The Police and Crime | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
Commissioner has defended the move today. It is important to get the | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
basics in place. There are a whole range of practical business tools | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
that we needed to do and now that we have them we ourselves efficient and | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
can crack on and do the job. We are saving money, we have saved money in | :11:12. | :11:19. | |
my own office and we are maintaining police officer numbers. There was a | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
missed opportunity here. If you look at what Police and Crime | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
Commissioners around the region have done, in some cases they have gone | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
out and engaged with the public, particularly young people, and had | :11:32. | :11:41. | |
then designed logos. It's not exactly The Ashes, but the | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
goings-on at another of the region's cricket grounds have created quite a | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
stir. 81-year-old Margaret Burn has been a stalwart of the Marsden | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
Cricket Club on South Tyneside, for 60 years. Now she's been banned from | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
the ground, amid allegations about her behaviour towards younger | :11:56. | :12:00. | |
members. She says she's disgusted by her treatment. Gerry Jackson | :12:00. | :12:10. | |
:12:10. | :12:13. | ||
reports. It is an unlikely looking battle ground, and she is an | :12:13. | :12:18. | |
unlikely villain of the piece. Margaret Burn has never taken the | :12:18. | :12:21. | |
field, but she's been one of those vital backroom staff a place like | :12:21. | :12:29. | |
this relies on. I'd use to do all the tea. I have done my bit, yes. | :12:29. | :12:31. | |
But now Margaret is suspended and, pending an investigation, banned | :12:31. | :12:35. | |
from the ground. A few weeks ago, Margaret confronted a group of | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
children who were playing on this pitch, while a match was going on. | :12:38. | :12:47. | |
It's alleged her language was inappropriate. The club says it was | :12:47. | :12:52. | |
by no means the first time. She has had several warnings over the years | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
with regard to her behaviour towards children in the club and also to | :12:57. | :13:01. | |
other members of the club as well. As a committee, we've decided we | :13:01. | :13:10. | |
have had to take a strict stance. Yes, I do go on at them but I have | :13:10. | :13:16. | |
never ever sworn. I would put my husband's life on the line for that. | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
Margaret's husband John, who has Alzheimer's, is a former player at | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
the club. Until her suspension, she used to bring him to watch games | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
once a week. The club says Mr Burn is always welcome here and that | :13:26. | :13:30. | |
other committee members are on hand to look after him, albeit without | :13:30. | :13:33. | |
Margaret. The club knows that as far as publicity on this goes, it is on | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
a sticky wicket. But it says it must keep the welfare of all its members, | :13:37. | :13:45. | |
old and young, in mind. Personally, I wouldn't want to be umpiring this | :13:45. | :13:50. | |
one. Coming up next - mind your language. | :13:50. | :13:55. | |
And later: Boom time for Benidorm. We continue our look at the rise and | :13:55. | :14:03. | |
fall of our seaside resorts. And not the weather for cricket, I | :14:03. | :14:06. | |
will be here with a full forecast after the rest of this evening's | :14:06. | :14:13. | |
While many of us are no strangers to foreign holidays a survey out today | :14:13. | :14:19. | |
suggests we're still embarrassed by our inability to speak languages. | :14:19. | :14:23. | |
The British Council says nearly a fifth of us have spoken English in a | :14:23. | :14:26. | |
fake foreign accent - a trap the former Middlesbrough manager Steve | :14:26. | :14:35. | |
McLaren fell into on Dutch television, have a listen to this. | :14:35. | :14:41. | |
I, sort of, knew when I came here in the Champions League, Liverpool or | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
Arsenal, I thought we would draw one of them. It was one of the reasons I | :14:48. | :14:55. | |
came to draw Arsenal. It is exciting for everybody. Arsenal is a big | :14:55. | :15:03. | |
team, what are your chances against Arsenal? We are not what you would | :15:03. | :15:12. | |
call underdogs, but massive underdogs. I'm cringing for him, but | :15:12. | :15:15. | |
as our correspondent found out in York today, overseas visitors seem | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
:15:25. | :15:42. | ||
to have no problem at. All with our The really annoying thing about this | :15:43. | :15:49. | |
lot is that most of them are as fluent in English as they are in | :15:49. | :15:59. | |
their native language. I listen to news from the BBC every day. | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
learned it being at school. Singing songs, doing really easy stuff, and | :16:03. | :16:09. | |
then it got harder and harder. different for the English. Take | :16:09. | :16:19. | |
:16:19. | :16:19. | ||
Gordon. He learned from the McLaren School of language. We have | :16:19. | :16:26. | |
apricots, a nice apple. It seems we are just lazy. Everyone speaks our | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
language so we don't need to learn bears, but according to the British | :16:31. | :16:34. | |
Council, that attitude could cause embarrassment or even get some | :16:34. | :16:40. | |
ripped off. I ended up at the wrong airport in France. My friend had to | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
drive back four hours to France. And then I couldn't find the gate. | :16:50. | :16:59. | |
struggled in France, no-1's book a word of English. We live in the | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
Middle East but everyone speaks English. The lesson seems to be that | :17:03. | :17:13. | |
:17:13. | :17:14. | ||
if you want respect, try harder and just give it a go. | :17:14. | :17:24. | |
:17:24. | :17:36. | ||
THEY SPEAK ITALIAN Very nice. Now, before the advent of cheap air | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
travel it was a familiar story. People saved all year for a week off | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
work - and then the holiday was ruined by the British weather. But | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
by the 1970s all that was changing. Holiday-makers were deserting our | :17:47. | :17:50. | |
seaside resorts and flying off for a fortnight in the sun. It was boom | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
time for Benidorm, but it marked the beginning of the decline of many of | :17:54. | :17:57. | |
our coastal towns. Tonight in the second part of our seaside series, | :17:57. | :18:00. | |
Peter Harris looks at the big holiday revolution, when we swopped | :18:00. | :18:09. | |
sand castles for sangria. By the 1970s, resorts like Whitley | :18:09. | :18:14. | |
Bay had more than just the weather to worry about. Really it was | :18:14. | :18:22. | |
transport that made these resorts. In many ways it is transport that | :18:22. | :18:26. | |
started to kill them off, because once people could get cheap flights | :18:26. | :18:36. | |
:18:36. | :18:50. | ||
to Spain there was no stopping us and Malta. It was lovely. It was a | :18:50. | :18:59. | |
real experience. The children enjoyed it as well. Our son learnt | :18:59. | :19:08. | |
swim there. He learned to swim underwater, believe it or not. | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
were at a nightclub and there was a comedian. I dare not tell you the | :19:12. | :19:20. | |
jokes. In the ten years from 1977 the number of families taking trips | :19:20. | :19:30. | |
:19:30. | :19:43. | ||
abroad more than doubled. Not that thought the Beachy was one of the | :19:43. | :19:49. | |
best in Spain and we found out it was rather dirty. In my opinion, | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
last year was a 5-star, this year was possibly a two. What about the | :19:56. | :20:03. | |
standard of service? No waiters come to the pool now to offer you | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
drinks. There just wasn't any service at all. And while they were | :20:09. | :20:15. | |
whingeing their way through a fortnight abroad, at home there was | :20:15. | :20:23. | |
a perfect storm for the seaside towns. Seaside tourism is an | :20:23. | :20:32. | |
industry as much as coal and steel. The seaside towns will never be as | :20:32. | :20:42. | |
:20:42. | :20:46. | ||
popular as they once were. But when the sunshine -- sun shines it is the | :20:46. | :20:51. | |
place people want to be. As the climate improves these places could | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
become very popular again. Abroad you don't get the scenery, it is | :20:56. | :21:06. | |
:21:06. | :21:38. | ||
quite barren, but it is quite Benidorm - a life-size dinosaur has | :21:38. | :21:48. | |
:21:48. | :21:50. | ||
been causing a stir in Newcastle. He has been created by Extreme Quad | :21:50. | :21:57. | |

he is certainly a crowd-pleaser. had spikes on the back. I think they | :22:07. | :22:13. | |
were in the Jurassic period. I can't remember, but it looks to me like it | :22:13. | :22:21. | |
is in the Jurassic. Do you like dinosaurs? Yeah.Why? Because they | :22:21. | :22:28. | |
are big and they have a big teeth. resident palaeontologist is on hand | :22:28. | :22:32. | |
to tell children all about the dinosaur and the manager is pleased | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
about the reaction they have had. I'm particularly pleased with the | :22:36. | :22:44. | |
loudness of the raw that greeted his entry. The museum has announced | :22:44. | :22:51. | |
collections of dinosaur material, particularly from iguanodons, so it | :22:51. | :23:01. | |
:23:01. | :23:01. | ||
is exciting to bring that natural history to life. I was going to say, | :23:01. | :23:07. | |
very lifelike, but how do we know? First up, Middlesborough long jumper | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Chris Tomlinson has called off his Twitter attack on the decision not | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
to send him to the World Championships. Tomlinson posted a | :23:16. | :23:20. | |
furious to eat in which he said, words could describe his anger, at | :23:20. | :23:23. | |
being passed over for Olympic champion Greg Rutherford, who | :23:23. | :23:33. | |
:23:33. | :23:33. | ||
crashed out early in the competition. | :23:33. | :23:37. | |
A year on from winning Olympic gold, the selection of Greg Rutherford for | :23:37. | :23:40. | |
Russia enraged Chris Tomlinson, who let his feelings be known on | :23:40. | :23:42. | |
Twitter. Rutherford was struggling with a hamstring injury while | :23:42. | :23:46. | |
Tomlinson was fit, and in the end the decision backfired. A clearly | :23:46. | :23:48. | |
disappointed Rutherford could only manage 14th in qualification. | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
it absolutely everything out there. I try to make it work and it didn't. | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
That is the hard fact. It is amazing how different a year can be. Even | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
before the selection was made, Tomlinson's frustration had begun to | :24:01. | :24:10. | |
show. I am a better performer than Greg at the moment. I do understand | :24:10. | :24:15. | |
that he won the Olympics last year whereas I finished sixth, and that | :24:15. | :24:22. | |
will be taken into account. Tomlinson now says he will not be | :24:22. | :24:31. | |
tweeting again on the matter. Well they're no longer the new kids on | :24:31. | :24:36. | |
the block. In fact, basketball's Durham Wildcats are gearing up for a | :24:36. | :24:39. | |
third BBL season - hoping to continue the club's steady | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
year-on-year improvement. And when they tip off for the new season, | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
next month, they'll have a new man at the helm. After eight years in | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
charge, long-serving coach Dave Elderkin has stepped down. He'll be | :24:48. | :24:51. | |
replaced by 32-year-old Lee Davie, who's previously worked with Durham | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
University's women's team and the Great Britain under-20s. I'm very | :24:57. | :25:02. | |
excited about the opportunity. It is the highest level of basketball for | :25:02. | :25:05. | |
men in our country so I am looking forward to the opportunity to get | :25:05. | :25:08. | |
out there and compete with the best players and teams that we have at | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
this level. Cricket finally, and County Championship leaders | :25:11. | :25:13. | |
Yorkshire have strengthened their batting line-up by signing New | :25:13. | :25:16. | |
Zealander Kane Williamson for the remainder of the campaign. The | :25:16. | :25:19. | |
23-year-old has played 25 Test matches for the Kiwis, and averages | :25:19. | :25:28. | |
just over 40 with the bat in the first-class game. | :25:28. | :25:38. | |

Now it is time for the weather it to turn wet across the region, a | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
band of heavy rain moving in from the South West. Through the evening | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
rain will be widespread across Cumbria and towards the early hours | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
of tomorrow morning it will turn wet for North Yorkshire. A real wash-out | :25:54. | :26:00. | |
by morning rush, some heavy bursts over the Cumbrian lakes and fells. | :26:00. | :26:05. | |
Temperatures will be 17 Celsius at the very lowest, overnight it will | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
be the low 60s. Those are the temperatures we had in the | :26:10. | :26:17. | |
afternoon, so mild air arriving with this weather front. Through late | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
morning and into lunchtime there will be an easing of the rain. | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
Possibly some isolated spells of sunshine, but it is not long before | :26:26. | :26:29. | |
the rain returns. It is widespread across Cumbria, but drive for much | :26:30. | :26:37. | |
of North Yorkshire at team time -- tea-time. It will be a touch warmer | :26:37. | :26:42. | |
than today. Raining heavily across the North East and the rain will | :26:42. | :26:48. | |
spread further eastwards across North Yorkshire. To the west it will | :26:48. | :26:52. | |
be raining heavily by the early evening and it will become even more | :26:52. | :26:56. | |
intense as the evening goes on and overnight into Friday. A little | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
cooler in Cumbria, but still remarkable temperatures considering | :27:02. | :27:06. | |
the lack of sunshine. Over the next couple of days, and improvement. | :27:06. | :27:14. | |
Clear from Friday, we expecting mostly dry day. There will be a | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
little more sunshine on Friday, but generally wet and unsettled on | :27:18. | :27:23. | |
Saturday with rain or showers. Sunday also looks pretty | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
changeable, bright spells and blustery showers but then high | :27:27. | :27:31. |
