:01:20. > :01:22.and went out to get me, which was an utter disgrace.
:01:23. > :01:25.I honestly think they were trying to stitch me up.
:01:26. > :01:29.I think they were using any means, unlawful or otherwise,

:10:42. > :10:44.Temperatures up to about 8 or 9 Celsius, with a fairly light
:10:45. > :10:48.westerly breeze. Sunday sees the cloud that bit more broken, so the
:10:49. > :10:52.better chance of seeing blue skies and sunshine in the east. Again
:10:53. > :10:56.temperatures in the too bad. 8 or 9 Celsius at best and probably staying
:10:57. > :11:00.frost-free through the weekend. I will leave you with a summary:
:11:01. > :11:04.creeping up by a notch or two, 10, maybe nine Celsius. Here is Louise
