:00:46. > :00:56.for the weather. These are the sunny skies over whether the

:00:56. > :01:10.

:01:10. > :01:14.The what's the biggest electricity bill that you have ever had? One

:01:14. > :01:19.business is being possibly forced out of business after receiving a

:01:19. > :01:29.bill of �73,000. British Gas have admitted that the huge bill is

:01:29. > :01:32.

:01:32. > :01:38.their fault after overcharging -- I wonder how many times you have

:01:39. > :01:44.gone to the door to collect your post, open a letter from a utility

:01:44. > :01:49.company and taken a big gasp when you have read the Bill. The company

:01:49. > :01:53.here almost -- the couple here almost fell to the floor when they

:01:53. > :02:00.receive their bill from British Gas. Shaun Coleman has been running this

:02:00. > :02:05.business for 11 years. In 2006, he and his wife Catherine decided to

:02:05. > :02:10.build an extension to the bar. At the time, a new electricity meter

:02:10. > :02:20.was installed. It has been read eight times and the couple have

:02:20. > :02:36.

:02:36. > :02:44.never missed a payment. But then As you can see, this is the first

:02:44. > :02:51.bill we have received. That was then amended from �70,000 to

:02:51. > :02:55.�58,000. We could not believe it. We have paid our bills every time,

:02:55. > :03:02.and just to have this debt on our doorstep, totally out of the blue,

:03:02. > :03:06.is amazing. We cannot sleep, we were worried anyway about how to

:03:06. > :03:11.deal with things in the recession. To have that put on top of us, it

:03:11. > :03:16.is a step too far, really. By an quite angry that they are allowed

:03:16. > :03:24.to operate in such a way. Shaun Coleman says that despite phone

:03:24. > :03:31.calls, he is no longer -- he is not moving forward. They have made a

:03:31. > :03:35.mistake over five years. It would be a courtesy to allow us the same

:03:35. > :03:42.time to pay it back. In the meantime, it is business as usual

:03:42. > :03:47.for the time being. No wonder Sean Coleman is confused. When they

:03:47. > :03:57.first released -- receive the paperwork, it was a bill of �72,000.

:03:57. > :04:08.

:04:08. > :04:13.�58,000. The postman has delivered a bill today the sick -- asking for

:04:13. > :04:22.a new meter reading. This afternoon, we have heard from British Gas, who

:04:22. > :04:31.released a brief statement. They say they are investigating the

:04:31. > :04:35.situation fully, and hope to come two a settlement. We have been

:04:35. > :04:41.hearing a lot of stories from our Dewars, and if there's something

:04:41. > :04:46.that you want to share with us, then get in touch. We will be

:04:46. > :04:51.giving the details of how to get in touch in a moment, but let's cut

:04:51. > :04:58.through the confusion. Audrey Gallacher of Consumer Focus is now

:04:58. > :05:07.joining us from London. What rights do Sean and Catherine Coleman have?

:05:07. > :05:14.It was first their fault in the first place. They have no

:05:14. > :05:21.protection. It is different if you are a domestic user. In cannot

:05:21. > :05:28.receive back billing for more than the year. You can be back build for

:05:28. > :05:33.up to six years if you are company, and that is not right. British Gas

:05:33. > :05:43.say they are sorry. That seems to be good news. But it is a

:05:43. > :05:43.

:05:43. > :05:52.commercial arrangement, so British Gas could get it out over a phased

:05:52. > :05:57.basis. That is a double whammy. When they took find they are at

:05:57. > :06:03.fault, they are not being flexible with the payments, and I am glad to

:06:03. > :06:13.see the customers are negotiating it, and British Gas should

:06:13. > :06:14.

:06:14. > :06:20.understand that. Do you find that this is widespread? It was very

:06:20. > :06:28.widespread before, and that's why the rules came in to protect

:06:28. > :06:38.domestic consumers. That was to give them protection from shock

:06:38. > :06:44.

:06:44. > :06:53.bills, and in centre buys companies It is important that we get this

:06:53. > :06:59.sorted out. There has been some work with the industry and the

:06:59. > :07:09.regulator to put protections in, and to get the company is

:07:09. > :07:31.

:07:31. > :07:38.incentives. Have you had a big I know a lot of you have been

:07:38. > :07:46.contacting Harry. We were just looking, and we are up to 39

:07:46. > :07:51.comments on the Facebook page alone. Next tonight, the Bradford Borlin

:07:51. > :07:55.hooked hired a private carers to the car after her mother in an NHS

:07:55. > :08:04.hospital. She felt that she was not getting the attention she needed.

:08:04. > :08:08.Annette Townend acted out of desperation after she was told her

:08:08. > :08:18.mother would be dead within days if something wasn't done. She had

:08:18. > :08:21.

:08:21. > :08:25.problems with her Olivia -- liver. Hello, mum. Sheila is getting the

:08:25. > :08:30.sort of private care that her daughter thinks is necessary.

:08:30. > :08:35.Annette says that this is a world away from the cower that she was

:08:35. > :08:41.getting in Bradford Royal Infirmary. I got a telephone call to say that

:08:41. > :08:45.you would be dead in a few days. She was so weak, it was obvious

:08:46. > :08:53.need -- she needed feeding. felt that that had not been done by

:08:53. > :09:01.the nursing staff? There were 28 old people on that board, and there

:09:01. > :09:07.was no way that she could have individual attention. For invoices

:09:07. > :09:14.showed the amount of power was that private nurses were employed. When

:09:14. > :09:17.challenged, she said that they were family members. It had to be right,

:09:18. > :09:24.or which -- or she would be dead now. I think it is absolutely

:09:24. > :09:32.appalling, and I did ask, what about the other patients who do not

:09:32. > :09:35.have close family relatives? Bradford Hospitals say they have an

:09:35. > :09:43.excellent record for quality of care. They are consistently rated

:09:43. > :09:47.as one of the top hospitals in the country. There was a report by the

:09:47. > :09:52.Care Quality Commission that said it found the hospital to be meeting

:09:52. > :10:02.the requirements, reinforcing the high priority they place on

:10:02. > :10:08.

:10:08. > :10:18.patients. Her family says that Sheila is bed-bound and incontinent.

:10:18. > :10:19.

:10:19. > :10:27.That is a story that you might want to comment on. Later on Look

:10:34. > :10:43.set up for London 2012. First, let's look at more of the day's

:10:47. > :10:55.junctions 39 and for two after an accident involving a car and a

:10:55. > :11:02.lorry. The drivers are both vehicles are seriously injured.

:11:02. > :11:07.There will be more on that in our later bulletin. The former Leeds

:11:08. > :11:16.United director Simon Morris has been jailed for 18 months. The 34-

:11:16. > :11:24.year-old has been charged by threatening -- after threatening a

:11:24. > :11:31.work rival. Mr Ashworth also got a sentence but both are planning to

:11:31. > :11:40.appeal. One in 10 A-level students say that higher fees have put them

:11:40. > :11:50.off going to university. The findings come as you Cass, -- beat

:11:50. > :11:52.

:11:52. > :11:58.You can see more on the rising cost of university fees on the programme

:11:58. > :12:06.tonight at 7:30pm. This is a terrible story. A Sheffield charity

:12:41. > :12:47.A rare 18th century silver wine cooler has been saved by temple

:12:47. > :12:49.Newsam House. The cooler which was commissioned by The Earl of

:12:49. > :12:59.Stafford in 1706 is the largest of three surviving ambassadorial

:12:59. > :13:00.

:13:00. > :13:03.coolers in the UK measuring 129 centimetres and weighing 70 kilos.

:13:13. > :13:17.needs half a million pounds to get it off the ground again next year.

:13:17. > :13:21.The plane is now grounded for the winter after a number of faults led

:13:21. > :13:24.to it missing a series of airshows this summer. But it's hoped enough

:13:24. > :13:33.money can be raised to get the aircraft fit for the Queen's

:13:33. > :13:40.Diamond Jubilee celebrations next year. Dan Johnson has this report.

:13:40. > :13:44.Be a shade, the sound, the spectacle. -- the shape. The Vulcan

:13:44. > :13:52.bomber at an air show this summer, but then, things took a turn for

:13:52. > :13:57.the worst. Over two busy weekends, two separate falls occurred and we

:13:57. > :14:04.had to miss 10 displays at the end of the year. The costs run much

:14:04. > :14:07.deeper, so the begging bowl is out again. We have lost about �100,000

:14:07. > :14:13.from last year shows, so we are fighting for our life in terms of

:14:13. > :14:17.funding. Britain's revolutionary bomber goes into service with the

:14:17. > :14:27.RAF. The money shortages and the only East threat that they have

:15:04. > :15:08.part in the diamond jubilee celebrations, but it needs an

:15:08. > :15:12.expensive one to serve as first. Things will be tough, the economic

:15:12. > :15:17.climate is tough, we are fighting for our life, but I am sure

:15:17. > :15:19.everyone will rally around. A few months' worth of TLC and a few

:15:19. > :15:27.million pounds should see the Vulcan bomber take to the skies

:15:27. > :15:30.again next year. Great pictures of the Vulcan bomber
