:02:45. > :02:51.in this craze of donning a mask and terrifying people,
:02:52. > :02:53.but it one step too far. He went out into the streets
:02:54. > :02:56.of South Shields a day before Halloween last year
:02:57. > :02:58.and he brandished an axe at a young couple that he met
:02:59. > :03:01.in a pub car park. The young woman
:03:02. > :03:03.involved was 22 weeks So you can imagine

:03:27. > :03:29.as axe and threatening innocent people in
:03:30. > :03:29.the street goes way beyond
:03:30. > :03:31.what is acceptable. The young woman was 22 weeks
:03:32. > :03:34.pregnant at the time and by Whatever enjoyment
:03:35. > :03:37.you were getting, they would never have regarded this

:06:42. > :06:46.an adventure playground in Northumberland during the summer

:07:32. > :07:36.charged with assaulting, denied making up the claim. He said Gregg
:07:37. > :07:41.assaulted him, no shadow of a doubt. Colin Gregg, described in court as a

:08:49. > :08:53.is particularly valuable. You can tell cos it has this little button
:08:54. > :09:01.in its ear. It dates from around 1910 to 1920. Because of that, I
:09:02. > :09:05.would put about ?400 - ?600 on it. Down here, we have a clinker built
:09:06. > :09:10.open lunch with a Trojan steam engine inside of it. The body is
:09:11. > :09:15.handbuilt and what I like about it is this little figure. It adds a bit
:09:16. > :09:18.of character to the piece. He has a lovely woolly jumper on. Yes.
:09:19. > :09:25.Perfect for the Lake District. That one would be ?400 - ?600, but I

:09:50. > :09:55.east. Not huge amounts of snow settling but we will have a dusting
:09:56. > :09:58.in places and in between the showers, ice will form readily.
:09:59. > :10:02.Further west, dry and clear but just as cold and temperatures down to
:10:03. > :10:08.minus two Celsius. That said the theme for tomorrow. Eastern areas
:10:09. > :10:12.hang on to a lot of cloud. Further showers of rain and sleet along the
:10:13. > :10:17.coast. Snow inland. Again, not expecting huge amounts of that snow
:10:18. > :10:21.to settle. Further west, drier and brighter earlier in the cloud will
:10:22. > :10:26.come in later as we head through the afternoon. Top temperature of five
