:05:13. > :05:22.It's been going on for 20 years, people have been coming forward with
:05:23. > :05:25.ideas, but in my opinion they have not back them up with a proper

:06:17. > :06:25.This is the warehouse of the biggest foodbank in the UK.
:06:26. > :06:28.And 1,000 people rely on donations from here every week.
:06:29. > :06:31.Stocks may look fairly healthy, but balancing the mix of donations
:06:32. > :06:40.We have 14 pallets of tinned vegetables.
:06:41. > :06:43.That could last one month or maybe a little bit more.
:06:44. > :06:45.But we cannot make up a lot of boxes with just vegetables.

:07:28. > :07:39.We can ask them, we're very short of this, and they'll try their best.
:07:40. > :07:43.But we're basically clearing out the back of their warehouse.
:07:44. > :07:46.We tend to get the things they have got the most of.
:07:47. > :07:48.And funnily enough it tends to be what
:07:49. > :07:53.It's hoped these fresh supplies will keep them

:08:48. > :08:53.Some snow but what were in for is a cold blast of air from the north
:08:54. > :08:59.which may bring snow showers for some of us but not just yet. Tonight
:09:00. > :09:04.any showers will be of rain. More widespread in the West and the East.
:09:05. > :09:08.Some clear spells in between. Temperatures will hold at roundabout

:10:21. > :10:24.wind, north-westerly, and more of a northerly on Thursday and into
:10:25. > :10:28.Friday. That is bringing cold air and encouraging showers to turn
