Tonight on Look North: Are you sticking to your new year | :00:07. | :00:11. | |
resolution? How many of you are on a post christmas diet? We visit a | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
town with a New Year campaign to make takeaways healthier. We'll | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
talk to a lifestyle expert who tells us how to make 2012 the year | :00:17. | :00:22. | |
we kick our bad habits for good. Also tonight - talking of food. We | :00:22. | :00:32. | |
:00:32. | :00:40. | ||
meet the folk singer immortalising Harry Ramsden's in song. And still | :00:40. | :00:43. | |
off - we're live near Keighley where hundreds of homes are still | :00:43. | :00:53. | |
:00:53. | :00:54. | ||
without gas. The river was looking quite high, a | :00:54. | :01:04. | |
:01:04. | :01:05. | ||
chance of severe gales, the latest First tonight - A young widow from | :01:05. | :01:09. | |
York says more needs to be done to help men deal with depression after | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
her husband took his own life - leaving her to raise their three | :01:12. | :01:14. | |
son's alone. 28-year-old Jo Mcdonagh believes Chris had been | :01:14. | :01:16. | |
suffering from depression for several years before he hanged | :01:16. | :01:21. | |
himself. She hopes her story will prevent another family going | :01:21. | :01:31. | |
:01:31. | :01:33. | ||
through the same thing. 11th of it just doesn't seem real, | :01:33. | :01:38. | |
I remember turning round to him and saying, what have you done? I just | :01:38. | :01:45. | |
didn't know what to do. I knew, as soon as I saw him, he had died, he | :01:45. | :01:53. | |
wasn't with me. I looked for any signs of life, there was nothing. | :01:53. | :01:58. | |
Jo Mcdonagh describes the moment she found her husband had hanged | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
himself. He was just 38, and had a lot to live for. He had a young | :02:04. | :02:10. | |
family, and ran a successful pub. In 2006, their lives were turned | :02:10. | :02:15. | |
upside down. Chris was forced to take six months off work after | :02:15. | :02:20. | |
being assaulted by a customer. She says this was the start of his | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
depression. He was in his pyjamas, he sat on his computer, he never | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
went out. He wasn't himself. It wasn't the man that I fell in love | :02:31. | :02:37. | |
with. He became a recluse. mother of three says he refused to | :02:37. | :02:43. | |
get professional help, and after a couple of years she thought he had | :02:43. | :02:53. | |
:02:53. | :02:54. | ||
turned a corner. In 2009 she got a text message saying goodbye. | :02:54. | :03:00. | |
wanted to stop him, I came straight up, to find that that he had hung | :03:00. | :03:07. | |
himself. Over a five-year period in Yorkshire, 488 women committed | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
suicide, compared to 1,600 men, almost the three-and-a-half times | :03:11. | :03:18. | |
more. I think more men register as a statistic, because we don't talk | :03:18. | :03:27. | |
about men, society expects us to bottle it up. If I could help one- | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
person realise that their husband, or friend, that they are not right, | :03:31. | :03:37. | |
and they can get some help, that's all I wish for. I want to stop one | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
family not going through what we went through. | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
A heartrending story there from Jo Mcdonough Mike Bush, who campaigns | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
on mental health issues is with us now. Mike, I think you got involved | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
with this issue after your father took his own life. What impact did | :03:51. | :04:01. | |
that have on you? It has been called a personal Holocaust. There | :04:01. | :04:08. | |
are a whole kaleidoscope other nations. You torture yourself. | :04:08. | :04:16. | |
Suicide bereavement is unique, it is different from a sudden accident, | :04:16. | :04:24. | |
or murder. Why men? They are less inclined to be connected to their | :04:24. | :04:31. | |
emotional status. They are unable to support one another, and express | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
their emotions. They don't talk about it, they tend to bottle it up. | :04:35. | :04:42. | |
How can we make people go for specialist help? One of the things | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
we have to do with men, a bit of reverse psychology, tell them that | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
they have a problem, that they have to do with it. In Jo's case, she | :04:54. | :05:03. | |
had no idea that he would himself. That can be the case. It is | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
difficult, because you don't always have the signs to see. You are | :05:08. | :05:17. | |
:05:18. | :05:19. | ||
saying that there are people out there who who can help? -- who can | :05:19. | :05:29. | |
:05:29. | :05:31. | ||
help? It is important to screen these things. There are always | :05:31. | :05:36. | |
Samaritans. There are a load of organisations, information for | :05:36. | :05:45. | |
mental health is a wonderful website. Useful advice. | :05:45. | :05:47. | |
Hundreds of families in West Yorkshire are still unable to cook | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
or heat their homes after gas supplies were cut off in strong | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
winds yesterday. 1,600 were affected. Ian White is in Steeton | :05:55. | :06:05. | |
:06:05. | :06:09. | ||
for us now. What's happening? in a club which has been turned | :06:09. | :06:13. | |
into a makeshift operations centre. They are trying to get his back on | :06:13. | :06:22. | |
as quickly as possible. This sector, sector three, that has gone back on. | :06:22. | :06:28. | |
Their colouring in the map as more homes get reconnected. | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
Back cooking on gas, relief for Cooks at this hospital after nearly | :06:33. | :06:43. | |
:06:43. | :06:43. | ||
two days without gas to make meals on. We need hot food, individuals | :06:43. | :06:50. | |
cannot live off cold food. biggest concern is the lack of hot | :06:50. | :06:56. | |
water. 1,600 people have been affected by the loss of gas, caused | :06:56. | :07:04. | |
by high winds. Degas was shut off as a safety precaution. -- of the | :07:04. | :07:14. | |
gas was shut off. An emergency control room has been | :07:14. | :07:23. | |
set up, residents have come to collect heaters and hotplates. | :07:23. | :07:32. | |
the gas going off, you have people who are looking after the elderly. | :07:32. | :07:42. | |
:07:42. | :07:43. | ||
Thank you very much. Not a nice day for rate is its? -- not a nice day | :07:43. | :07:51. | |
for it, is it? This woman lives alone. She relies on gas. When the | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
system went down, she was without her main support systems. It has | :07:57. | :08:01. | |
certainly been a frustrating start to the New Year, there is a long | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
night ahead for the engineers. Many homes are still without gas. | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
Why has it taken so long to get these people back on the network? | :08:13. | :08:20. | |
It is not as simple as putting a few is back in, or -- putting a | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
:08:30. | :08:38. | ||
fuse back in, or flicking a switch. If anyone's coming home tonight, we | :08:38. | :08:43. | |
will be about the customer service number. Will we be back here | :08:43. | :08:51. | |
tomorrow, are people still go to be without gas? We are still putting | :08:51. | :08:59. | |
people back on. We are working as hard as we can. The helpline number | :08:59. | :09:09. | |
:09:09. | :09:12. | ||
is below. Back to the studio. Later on Look North: Trying to get | :09:12. | :09:15. | |
back in the saddle, a race against time for the showjumper who broke | :09:15. | :09:21. | |
his neck but still harbours Olympic hopes. | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
The new year was only 11 hours old when David and Dorothy Metcalfe | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
were killed in a horrific car crash on the notorious Stanningley | :09:27. | :09:31. | |
byepass between Leeds and Bradford. A man has been charged with causing | :09:31. | :09:34. | |
death by dangerous driving. For the Metcalf's son Clive a remarkably | :09:34. | :09:38. | |
brave interview follows in which he talks of his thanks to all who | :09:38. | :09:48. | |
:09:48. | :09:49. | ||
tried to help at the scene. Even those who are used to | :09:49. | :09:54. | |
witnessing horrific scenes, found this harrowing. It was a high-speed | :09:54. | :10:04. | |
:10:04. | :10:10. | ||
crash. It is known as the mad a mile, it is down a hill. -- be mad | :10:11. | :10:20. | |

a. My mum was still in her seat. She was hanging out of the back | :10:24. | :10:30. | |
window of the car. For this to happen at any time is tragic enough, | :10:30. | :10:35. | |
but Sony is day, even more so. Clive it was quick to praise those | :10:35. | :10:41. | |
who try to help. We were very grateful. I would like to thank | :10:41. | :10:49. | |
them. A gentleman on his motorbike has stopped and try to help my mum. | :10:49. | :10:57. | |
Another lady has gone and cover the dad up. You got an incredible | :10:57. | :11:03. | |
response from the emergency services. I would like to thank | :11:03. | :11:13. | |
:11:13. | :11:16. | ||
them for their swift response. It was New Year's Day, they were there, | :11:16. | :11:20. | |
knowing some of the guys who were there, the air ambulance, the | :11:20. | :11:28. | |
police, we couldn't have wished for a better service. A man has been | :11:28. | :11:34. | |
charged with death by dangerous driving. The funeral will take | :11:34. | :11:38. | |
place next week. More news from around Yorkshire and | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
a second man has been arrested in connection with the murder of a | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
father of two at a New Year's Eve party in Sheffield. Joshua Green | :11:44. | :11:47. | |
was attacked on the dancefloor of the Stars and Mayfair club and died | :11:47. | :11:50. | |
at the scene from his injuries. A 22-year-old local man has been | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
arrested on suspicion of murder. A teenager who was arrested yesterday | :11:53. | :11:59. | |
is still in police custody. A canoeist from North Yorkshire who | :11:59. | :12:03. | |
was rescued from an icy river in Cumbria on New Year's Day, has died. | :12:03. | :12:05. | |
41-year-old Catherine Stainsby from Malton, was treated in hospital | :12:05. | :12:09. | |
after being caught in fast flowing waters near Sedbergh. Mountain | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
rescue volunteers, the fire service, police and ambulance crews were all | :12:12. | :12:19. | |
involved in the rescue. A Barnsley school furniture company | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
says it has saved forty five jobs - after taking over a struggling | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
outdoor play equipment firm. Metalliform Holdings bought out | :12:26. | :12:28. | |
Chesterfield based Timberline which was put in administration last | :12:28. | :12:36. | |
november. Still to come before 7 o'clock: A | :12:36. | :12:46. | |

lament to a lost legend. We finish with fish at Harry's, it was close | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
to heaven. A song charting the rise and fall of the first Harry | :12:53. | :13:00. | |
Ramsden's fish and chip restaurant. Millions of us will diet this new | :13:00. | :13:04. | |
year, to shed the festive pounds, I know a few people round here who've | :13:04. | :13:14. | |
:13:14. | :13:16. | ||
already started! So, Christa you Thanks, Harry. Well I think you'll | :13:16. | :13:20. | |
find I'm just about average! That means I've put on about five pounds | :13:20. | :13:25. | |
over Christmas. Findings show the average crash diet lasts just 15 | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
days and at the end of it 35% of us end on putting on more weight than | :13:29. | :13:37. | |
they lost in the first place. Well, in a moment we'll be talking to a | :13:37. | :13:41. | |
life coach to get a few tips on how to shift those bad habits for good. | :13:41. | :13:44. | |
First though, Charlotte Leeming has been to Featherstone where they're | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
:13:54. | :13:54. | ||
targeting the fast food market. And there is no shortage of | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
takeaways to choose from here. These fast food outlet to be | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
encouraged to become healthier. The dishes they server being tested for | :14:04. | :14:12. | |
the Salt, sugar and fat content. It is all part of an initiative to | :14:12. | :14:18. | |
tackle obesity. People are generally living longer, but people | :14:18. | :14:22. | |
are developing long-term health conditions, things like heart | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
disease and stroke. All these conditions are related to the | :14:26. | :14:30. | |
lifestyles of people and their diet is a big part of that. This project | :14:31. | :14:36. | |
is not about demonising takeaways, but it is a bite is offering people | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
healthier options when they want to buy fast food. I control my Salt | :14:42. | :14:49. | |
intake, so I don't worry too much if I have a takeaway. Is this a | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
good initiative? It is very good that there tried to control how | :14:53. | :15:03. | |
:15:03. | :15:03. | ||
much we have. I don't have sold, my wife dos. If this fish-and-chip | :15:04. | :15:12. | |
shop is one of 15 outlets that they assessed. That testing takes place | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
at this Laboratory in Leeds. Scientists here exam of the | :15:16. | :15:19. | |
nutritional content of the dish and the results are given to the | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
takeaway owners so they can all today recipes - - there are recipes | :15:24. | :15:30. | |
of the Jews to do so. You can find very high levels of Salt, | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
especially in Chinese takeaways. We have found 20 grams of Salt. This | :15:34. | :15:38. | |
is six grams of Salt, the recommended maximum amount for an | :15:38. | :15:43. | |
adult, and we have found Chinese takeaways with 20 grams of Salt in | :15:43. | :15:48. | |
a single portion. So, three times your target maximum sold in taking | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
a single meal. It is up to the traders to decide if they want to | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
make any changes to their food, but with the takeaway meal containing | :15:56. | :16:01. | |
1000 calories on average, perhaps it is their chance to start the new | :16:01. | :16:05. | |
year on a healthier note. Angela Whitlock is a life coach and | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
author from North Yorkshire. They are trying with fast food in | :16:09. | :16:12. | |
Featherstone, but what can we do to keep our healthy resolutions? | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
of the problems you find is that you focus on the end result of the | :16:16. | :16:22. | |
time, but you need to focus on the process. One of the things we have | :16:22. | :16:27. | |
all done is driven a car. The process of learning, getting people | :16:27. | :16:31. | |
involved, getting people around you to help you, that is the process of | :16:31. | :16:40. | |
achieving a gold - - achieving a goal. Resolutions always seem to be | :16:40. | :16:50. | |
:16:50. | :16:51. | ||
about losing weight, going to the gym, are they the right ones? | :16:51. | :16:57. | |
about changing your mind set. you were going to say that! That is | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
harder. When you focus on being healthy or something more positive, | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
you have much more chance of achieving it. He has lost his | :17:08. | :17:16. | |
voice! More water. I suppose gender is a depressing month anyway, so is | :17:16. | :17:21. | |
it the right time to start this sort of campaign? It is a good | :17:21. | :17:29. | |
springboard because we are all focused on new things in January. | :17:29. | :17:37. | |
It takes 90 up to 100 days to ginger habits, that was what we | :17:37. | :17:46. | |
know now. You have to forgive yourself, because when you make a | :17:46. | :17:50. | |
mistake, you have to forgive yourself and get back on track. It | :17:50. | :17:52. | |
is those little moments we don't forgive yourself that you think, | :17:53. | :18:02. | |
:18:03. | :18:04. | ||
what is the point, I might as well not carry on. Harry, you will be | :18:04. | :18:14. | |
:18:14. | :18:20. | ||
back speaking again? I hope so. One of our Olympic hopeful | :18:20. | :18:22. | |
showjumpers is facing a race against time to qualify for 2012 | :18:22. | :18:25. | |
after breaking his neck. Tim Stockdale, from Worksop, fell from | :18:25. | :18:28. | |
a horse during training in October. Incredibly, he managed to avoid any | :18:28. | :18:30. | |
life-changing injuries and after a traumatic few months is now | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
plotting a return to the sport. Nick Hope has been following the | :18:33. | :18:41. | |
story. At its best, showjumping is a stunning combination of style, | :18:41. | :18:46. | |
elegance and animal athleticism. At its worst it is simply a bleak, | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
with frightening consequences. Tim Stockdale's accident happened aware | :18:53. | :18:57. | |
for the cameras, but being admitted to this hospital give some idea of | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
the serious - - seriousness of the triple neck fracture. It was a | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
little bit windy and it started to rain and maybe something spoke to | :19:08. | :19:16. | |
him, but he ran out of the corner. My saddle slipped up the wrong side, | :19:16. | :19:21. | |
so I was coming down and they don't remember anything more. The doctor | :19:21. | :19:26. | |
felt my neck and as he pressed around a new that there was | :19:26. | :19:30. | |
something seriously wrong. What is it been like as a patient? | :19:31. | :19:35. | |
nightmare. He doesn't understand keep still, but he is getting there, | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
are due? Just about. His condition has certainly improved. He was | :19:41. | :19:45. | |
released at the end of November and managed an appearance at Olympia | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
earlier this month. It is lovely to be out of hospital. Five weeks on | :19:50. | :19:56. | |
my back was a difficult time. I wanted to make one day at Olympia, | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
and that was going to be my success. Averting goes according to plan I | :20:02. | :20:06. | |
hope that I'll be riding in February and jump fences again in | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
March. What would have been for you to get that place ankle to the | :20:11. | :20:18. | |
Olympics? It would be fabulous, fantastic. Something like this is | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
the ignition to doing better and it isn't the late my furnaces. He has | :20:24. | :20:27. | |
made a career out of overcoming obstacles, and despite the | :20:27. | :20:32. | |
challenges ahead due in the sport would doubt that he has the | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
character to land a place in the Games. | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
Fingers crossed he makes it. Some other good news tonight and the | :20:41. | :20:44. | |
England rugby squad have announced they will be using West Park in | :20:44. | :20:47. | |
Leeds as their training base later this month ahead of the RBS Six | :20:47. | :20:50. | |
Nations. England have spent their January training week in Portugal | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
for the last three years. It began life in a hut in Guiseley | :20:54. | :20:57. | |
and grew to become the biggest fish and chip shop in the world, but now | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
the site of the original Harry Ramsden's is shutting down. So, how | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
do you mark the fall of one of the county's legends? Well, you could | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
write a book or erect a statue or, in the case of one Yorkshire | :21:07. | :21:11. | |
composer, write a song about it. We will be speaking to him in a moment, | :21:11. | :21:21. | |
:21:21. | :21:27. | ||
but first let's hear some snippets. In a trice that appetising whiff | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
came wafting up. And crew and chewy as perfects proof that the | :21:33. | :21:43. | |
:21:43. | :21:44. | ||
Ramsden's had bought wisely. Alas, she didn't last that there very | :21:44. | :21:51. | |
long, which may carry more determined and he fried on and on. | :21:51. | :21:57. | |
The hut has had its day. That is now it was a restaurant, not just | :21:57. | :22:07. | |

to take away. His name was Harry, Well, Eddie Lawler is here now. Why | :22:19. | :22:26. | |
do you feel so strongly about it? think it is part of our West | :22:26. | :22:32. | |
Yorkshire culture, which has vanished. I come from Manchester | :22:32. | :22:39. | |
Road in Bradford, and so did Harry Ramsden, so there is a bit of local | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
pay I think there is a slight feeling of disappointment and | :22:42. | :22:49. | |
morning but something has gone. did change. If you talk to the | :22:49. | :22:54. | |
local people, they deserted it. They respect other places. It has | :22:54. | :22:57. | |
been through several hands and I don't think the hands were very | :22:57. | :23:05. | |
good one. It does things like Mother's Day, a special treat, | :23:05. | :23:12. | |
granny's birthday. The amusement arcade in the back. Brass-band | :23:12. | :23:19. | |

the CD that will be launched at the end of March. I think if we had | :23:49. | :23:54. | |
best anybody to do a tribute, I don't remember a story getting as | :23:54. | :24:04. | |
:24:04. | :24:04. | ||
much response to, a one-off story about one firm, we have hundreds of | :24:04. | :24:14. | |
:24:14. | :24:17. | ||
e-mails. It would be nice if we did a Harry Ramsden's tribute. | :24:17. | :24:25. | |
It is a really lovely song. Can we have a little bit more? This is | :24:25. | :24:35. | |

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds | :24:35. | :25:15. | |
Let's have a look at some of the pictures that some of the weather | :25:15. | :25:22. | |

So, a windy, blustery start with outbreaks of rain and drizzle. | :26:53. | :26:56. | |
