Good evening. Welcome to Wednesday's Look North. Tonight, an | :00:08. | :00:11. | |
infantry Mann to the end. Hundreds line the streets of Huddersfield | :00:11. | :00:15. | |
for the funeral of Private Anthony fram ton, one of six soldiers | :00:15. | :00:20. | |
killed in an Afghan attack. We report on the fund raising | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
efforts in his memory. What a difference a month makes. In | :00:23. | :00:27. | |
March, this Yorkshire river bed was dry as a bone. Now it's filled with | :00:27. | :00:32. | |
water but there's still a drought. And the walk of his life. The | :00:32. | :00:37. | |
youngster who spent much of his childhood in a wheelchair but who | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
today set off to school on foot. is the best experience I've had in | :00:42. | :00:47. | |
my life. After a great start it turned out to be a nice day. Will | :00:47. | :00:57. | |
:00:57. | :01:02. | ||
the shun shine tomorrow though? Hundreds of mourners lined the | :01:02. | :01:06. | |
streets of Huddersfield today for the funeral of Private Anthony fram | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
ton, one of the six soldiers from the 3rd Battalion of the Yorkshire | :01:11. | :01:17. | |
Regiment killed in a bomb attack in Afghanistan. Today, his command | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
commanding officer said he was a real gem who made everyone smile. | :01:20. | :01:24. | |
He was described as a hero who will be never missed. | :01:24. | :01:31. | |
A spontaneous round of applause as the body of Private Anthony frafrp | :01:31. | :01:35. | |
ton arrived at Huddersfield parish church. Every possible vantage | :01:35. | :01:39. | |
point taken in the warm spring sunshine. | :01:39. | :01:43. | |
As a single bell tolled noon, the crowds fell silent. | :01:43. | :01:53. | |
Inside, aunts and uncle read a poem written by Anthony's mum. | :01:53. | :01:57. | |
dropped you off that night. You were going to war, going to fight. | :01:57. | :02:02. | |
The rights and wrong, we do not know. But we knew we'd miss you, | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
but you had to go. You kept in touch on Facebook and phone, | :02:09. | :02:19. | |
:02:19. | :02:20. | ||
telling us that you couldn't wait to get home. Aged just 20, Private | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
Frampton was killed alongside five others soldiers in a roadside bomb | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
in Afghan Stan. Today, his commanding officer described him as | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
a talented infantry Mann. He was a very positive charismatic young man | :02:40. | :02:45. | |
whose smiled would light up a room. He was courageous, bold, loyal, | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
trust worthy and hard working. Outside the packed churpblg, | :02:50. | :02:53. | |
friends listened intently to the service alone with their thoughts. | :02:53. | :02:59. | |
Afterwards, they spoke Lyle of the young man many called Anton. | :02:59. | :03:03. | |
were me best mate. He went into the army and I didn't see him for a | :03:03. | :03:10. | |
while. We never ever thought we'd have to do this for our lads from | :03:10. | :03:13. | |
Huddersfield. I know his father and I'm just paying respect to his | :03:13. | :03:18. | |
family. It is an honour to pay respects but it is heartbreaking as | :03:18. | :03:23. | |
well. The pallbearers carried their fallen comrade towards his final | :03:23. | :03:29. | |
jourpy and the crowds looked on. Then, as the cortege drove off, | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
more applause for a young man who died doing a job he loved. | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
A showing of great respect in Huddersfield. | :03:37. | :03:43. | |
Extraordinary. Anthony Frampton parents and grandparents were | :03:43. | :03:50. | |
lifelong members of the Deighton Working Men's Club in Huddersfield. | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
Come on, Yorkshire regiment benevolent fund. We're collecting | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
for our boys. At Deighton Working Men's Club in Huddersfield they | :03:59. | :04:05. | |
look after their own. Anthony Frampton's family have been coming | :04:05. | :04:13. | |
here for decades. Friends launched a fund raising drive. We ear doing | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
it because it is six soldiers killed out of the shire regiment. | :04:17. | :04:21. | |
Three from Huddersfield and the fact that one of them, all his | :04:21. | :04:27. | |
family, grandma, granddad, fathers, aunties and uncles were members of | :04:27. | :04:34. | |
this club. We feel as a club and for our community, we want to do | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
this to honour him. Anthony was 20 years old when he was killed in | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Afghanistan in March. The news of his death has been an enormous | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
shock to people round here. massive loss. Especially being so | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
young. Some soldiers lose their lives but have lived a bit. This | :04:50. | :04:54. | |
lad were only young. These six soldiers were only young. | :04:54. | :04:57. | |
grieving for the six Yorkshire Regiment solgdiers will continue | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
for a long time to come -- soldiers will continue for a long time to | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
come. Now there's another focus, fund-raising for the families. | :05:05. | :05:14. | |
4 The people of Huddersfield remembering Anthony Frampton. | :05:14. | :05:19. | |
Drought, what drought? We've had the wettest April for a Sentry. -- | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
century. Despite this, Caroline spell man warned standpipes could | :05:24. | :05:31. | |
be on our streets. Parts of Yorkshire joined the south of | :05:31. | :05:35. | |
England being declared officially in drought. What a difference four | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
weeks can make. Fraser's family has been farming on | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
the North York Moors for over 50 years. Like his father before him, | :05:43. | :05:47. | |
fraidzer had to go out on the land and make a living whatever the | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
weather throws at him. The drought conditions followed by the wettest | :05:51. | :05:55. | |
April on record have been challenging to say the least. His | :05:55. | :06:00. | |
cattle have been confined to sheds for a month and some of his fields | :06:00. | :06:07. | |
are waterlogged. When awe planted this field a few weeks ago | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
different weather conditions. and hot. Ground nice and dry. Look | :06:11. | :06:16. | |
at it now. We've had lots of rain but it is drying up really quickly. | :06:16. | :06:20. | |
I expected when we started to go on the land it would be a square mire | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
for weeks. I've been pleasantly surprised we can travel on some of | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
the land. That rain, although it has made things sticky on this crop, | :06:29. | :06:35. | |
deep down, it is still quite dry. That's because of two very dry | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
winters followed by an unseasonbly warm March. This was the river | :06:39. | :06:44. | |
Rickle and like many others, the river bed was almost bone dry with | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
water in very short supply. What a difference just a few weeks can | :06:49. | :06:56. | |
make. All that heavy rainfall means the water levels are looking a lot | :06:56. | :06:59. | |
healthier here. It would take another three months of persistent | :06:59. | :07:03. | |
rain to replenish reservoirs and rivers and recover from a drought | :07:03. | :07:08. | |
situation like this. Experts say another dry winter would have very | :07:08. | :07:11. | |
serious consequences for a lot of people. There would be standpipes | :07:11. | :07:16. | |
in the street. People's water supply would be cut off. They'd | :07:16. | :07:20. | |
have to take buckets to a standpipe to get water. It is difficult if | :07:20. | :07:25. | |
you're a young mother with children or an old person. There's fear of | :07:25. | :07:29. | |
contamination. Not a good place. We don't know the numbers of people | :07:29. | :07:32. | |
involved but it could be tens of thousands of people. Back on the | :07:32. | :07:38. | |
farm, there's a new addition. A drought is the last thing a farmer | :07:38. | :07:45. | |
needs but Fraser hopes it will soon be dry enough to get this calf | :07:45. | :07:49. | |
outside. Paul, we've had all this rain in | :07:49. | :07:52. | |
April. Standpipes, is that a possibility? | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
Sounds daft. It is a complicated picture. The | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
reservoirs are 98% full. Higher than they were at this time last | :08:00. | :08:06. | |
year. Eastern parts of Yorkshire are still in a drought restriction. | :08:06. | :08:09. | |
Yorkshire Water have this �300 million pipeline where they can | :08:09. | :08:14. | |
pump without forewest to east and north to south. In short, there's | :08:14. | :08:18. | |
little chance in Yorkshire of standpipes on the streets next | :08:18. | :08:21. | |
summer. For viewers in Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire, | :08:21. | :08:24. | |
who get their without frer apbg leaning water, it is different. | :08:24. | :08:27. | |
They get most of their water from the ground water. | :08:27. | :08:31. | |
They are saying it is still not full? | :08:31. | :08:34. | |
It takes time for the water to percolate through the rocks. The | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
Government are saying if it doesn't rain this summer and next winter, | :08:39. | :08:45. | |
there is a serious situation which could develop. It is unlikely that | :08:45. | :08:48. | |
we're going to get three dry winters on the trot but the | :08:48. | :08:53. | |
Government, fair enough to them, we can't sit here and hope it rains | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
which is why they are putting out this message parts of the country | :08:59. | :09:03. | |
could have standpipes next summer. Thank you, Paul. See you later for | :09:03. | :09:08. | |
a full forecast. Not as wet? weekend's not looking too bad. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |

what can be done to relieve them on a BBC One special on Inside Out | :09:16. | :09:21. | |
tonight at 7.30pm. Lots more to come tonight. Of the | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
Including our other Paul at York City. | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
It is the business end of the season. Can York City do the | :09:29. | :09:35. | |
business against Mansfield? It is the first leg of the play-off | :09:35. | :09:39. | |
semifinals here at Bootham Crescent. More of today's news. James Allen, | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
the man arrest in the Leeds after a five-day manhunt involving three | :09:43. | :09:49. | |

After three days of questioning by detectives, James Allen arrived at | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
court this morning charged with murdering two people in their own | :10:11. | :10:14. | |
homes. Arrested following a manhunt involving three accept ral police | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
forces, and 100 officers, he was discovered in Leeds early on Sunday | :10:18. | :10:21. | |
morning by an off-duty police officer. | :10:21. | :10:26. | |
He's been charged with killing 81- year-old Colin Dunford in | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
Middlesbrough and 50-year-old jewel y Davison in Whitby. They were both | :10:31. | :10:36. | |
found dead last week. Both suffered serious head injuries. The brief | :10:36. | :10:40. | |
hearing lasted less than five minutes.Al Len came into court | :10:40. | :10:44. | |
handcuffed to a security guard. He spoke only to confirm his name and | :10:44. | :10:48. | |
date of birth as well as the two charges of murder he faces four | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
other charges of assault, rape, false imprisonment and witness | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
intimidation. As he left court, he directed an obscene gesture to the | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
magistrate. Because of the serious nature of the charges, the case has | :11:03. | :11:06. | |
been transferred to Teesside Crown Court where he'll appear tomorrow. | :11:06. | :11:11. | |
As James Allen was leaving, detectives investigating the murder | :11:11. | :11:18. | |
of Julie Davison launched an appeal to find her silver and black | :11:18. | :11:22. | |
Toshiba laptop computer which is missing. They said it is extremely | :11:22. | :11:27. | |
important it is located as soon as possible. | :11:27. | :11:32. | |
In other news, a 13th person's been arrest in the connection with the | :11:32. | :11:37. | |

Police are warning the public to keep away from the Sheffield Ski | :11:49. | :11:52. | |
Village following two fires in two days. The site which was set on | :11:52. | :11:56. | |
fire on Sunday and again yesterday morn something now unsafe. Two men | :11:56. | :11:59. | |

Diamond Jubilee celebrations get underway in Leeds this weekend with | :12:02. | :12:06. | |
the opening of the a new exhibition of portraits of the Queen and not | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
just any exhibition. Special this one. They the display | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
is more than 60 pictures taken by royal photographer Sir Cecil Beaton | :12:16. | :12:22. | |
over 30 years. They include formal and more relxed imaged. The big | :12:22. | :12:26. | |
celebrations are at the beginning of June. We'd like to hear what | :12:26. | :12:29. | |
you're going to do to mark the occasion. We want to hear your | :12:29. | :12:34. | |
special Royal memories. Have you met the Queen? Do you have a | :12:34. | :12:40. | |
picture of her on your mantle piece? Get in Touche. | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
[email protected]. I remember the Silver Jubilee in | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
1977. There were lots of street parties. My mum decorated our front | :12:48. | :12:51. | |
window. My two oldest children were really | :12:51. | :12:55. | |
little. They went around with all the hots on. I think it will be | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
like that all over again. Let's turn to tomorrow's elections. | :12:58. | :13:01. | |
More than 2000 people in Leeds may not be able to vote. | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
It is because of a batch of Posteal votes which were due to be sent out | :13:06. | :13:11. | |
over a week ago which have gone missing somewhere between the | :13:11. | :13:21. | |
:13:21. | :13:23. | ||
Another election, another problem with postal ballots. The police | :13:23. | :13:30. | |
have organised their investigation and would he be get in touch. We | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
are expecting in continuation of what happened since the coalition | :13:34. | :13:38. | |
government won it in 2010. The Lib Dem council collapsed allowing | :13:38. | :13:44. | |
Labour to take control of an they consolidated in their traditional | :13:44. | :13:49. | |
heartlands. Ratchford is Labour's last big target, last year it | :13:49. | :13:53. | |
finished off by far the biggest party but a few short on the | :13:53. | :13:56. | |
majority. It has been winning the City because of the help of three | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
Green councillors. George Galloway's RESPECT has entered the | :14:02. | :14:09. | |
election. It took a couple of seats which could not be Labour's hopes | :14:09. | :14:15. | |
of getting the use of majority. The minor parties are also pushing hard | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
and there are few resources which means they are just contesting one | :14:19. | :14:25. | |
third of the seats this year. Two other interesting places Kirklees | :14:25. | :14:30. | |
and called Adel, bees need to be looked at. It is unlikely that | :14:30. | :14:33. | |
Labour can take enough seats to achieve majorities in either. What | :14:33. | :14:40. | |
is driving this election? Local issues or national politics? We | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
have investigated in Kirklees. Leaflets, posters, doorstep | :14:46. | :14:51. | |
conversations, familiar policies when there is an election looming. | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
These are unfamiliar and undeniably difficult times for mainstream | :14:55. | :14:59. | |
politics. Kirklees might seem a long way from Westminster, but how | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
much does the national picture really affect what happens at a | :15:02. | :15:09. | |
local level? People are in a state of anxiety because they do not know | :15:09. | :15:14. | |
what the future holds. They blame all of the major parties. Nobody | :15:14. | :15:18. | |
seems to have got an answer that we can instantly bring us back to | :15:18. | :15:24. | |
prosperity. What they're saying is, let's see what they will do locally. | :15:24. | :15:28. | |
I am not finding disillusionment, am finding people more interested | :15:28. | :15:33. | |
in politics than ever before. It is now time for real politics from | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
real parties and proper politicians that understand the key issues in | :15:37. | :15:41. | |
local communities. Kirklees is currently run by a minority Labour | :15:41. | :15:45. | |
administration and they want to make gains. When a group of | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
politics students spend lunchtime quizzing would-be voters, they were | :15:49. | :15:53. | |
struck by their dissatisfaction with the status quo. The have lost | :15:53. | :15:57. | |
faith. They do not know what each of them the stands for, because | :15:57. | :16:01. | |
they feel they will all do the same thing when they get elected. There | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
is a degree of disenfranchisement from politics. Can they separate | :16:10. | :16:14. | |
local from National? People recognise who is working on the | :16:14. | :16:19. | |
ground every time, and local people need to get a voice and the key | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
issues in this Murat, and that is what people will remember. There is | :16:22. | :16:26. | |
a lot of dissatisfaction with the three main parties that they have | :16:26. | :16:30. | |
all tried to make things work. There has been the recession, we | :16:30. | :16:34. | |
have policies that are hurting and not working. This is making people | :16:34. | :16:39. | |
look around and think how can I get out of this mess? The candidates in | :16:39. | :16:44. | |
almost all of the wards, the Greens are hoping to cash in on any | :16:44. | :16:51. | |
protests at the polls. For more information on other | :16:51. | :16:55. | |
parties, the independent parties, you can go online. The polls open | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
at 7am. Some of the council take place overnight, and we will be | :17:02. | :17:08. | |
there every step of the way. Before seven o'clock. We're live at | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
York City as they hope to get a step closer back into the Football | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
League. Inspirational - the little boy | :17:14. | :17:17. | |
whose walk to school this morning proved a challenge to say the least. | :17:17. | :17:27. | |
:17:27. | :17:28. | ||
And the Wakefield lollipop man who Now for a heart-warming story about | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
a seven-year-old boy who spent his early years in a wheelchair but is | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
now able to walk. Inspired by his school's Olympic project, Walk the | :17:37. | :17:40. | |
history of the Games, Evan Whitton from Silsden near Keighley, worked | :17:40. | :17:50. | |
:17:50. | :17:54. | ||
hard to get out of his chair and onto his feet before London 2012. | :17:54. | :17:58. | |
Walking to school is an everyday event for most children, but for | :17:58. | :18:02. | |
this little boy, it is a turning point in his life. He has cerebral | :18:02. | :18:07. | |
palsy and was unable to walk at all before an operation in November in | :18:07. | :18:12. | |
America last year. Today for the first time, he is walking with his | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
family to his school. We got the OK for to have the operation and it | :18:18. | :18:23. | |
was such a pipe dream, but it has come true, really. It is part of | :18:23. | :18:28. | |
his big journey and it has come through. So who is half a mile from | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
his home and the walk is tiring, so he takes a break and chats with his | :18:32. | :18:39. | |
mum. Are you ready for the rest of the way? Yes. Eight huge wall of my | :18:39. | :18:44. | |
family! It is the greatest experience I have had in my life! | :18:44. | :18:50. | |
That is nice. I thought it would be really, really scary, but it turns | :18:50. | :18:58. | |
out not. That's good! You're funny! Back on his feet, his spirits are | :18:58. | :19:01. | |
lifted as he is met by a Paralympian blown away by his | :19:01. | :19:06. | |
determination. He asked me if I would like to walk to school with | :19:06. | :19:10. | |
him? After hearing all about him, he is such a great little boy and I | :19:10. | :19:16. | |
was like, yes, of course, that's brilliant! Almost an hour after | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
leaving home, he is given a hero's welcome at his school. | :19:20. | :19:29. | |
Today was the first time he had ever walked to school, but he is | :19:29. | :19:38. | |
determined it will not be the last. You deserve a gold medal! Two gold | :19:38. | :19:45. | |
medals! What an inspiration! Let's turn to football now and | :19:45. | :19:48. | |
tonight, could be the beginning of the story of how York City return | :19:48. | :19:51. | |
to the Football League. Yes, they play at home to Mansfield in the | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
First Leg of the Conference Play- Off semi finals at Bootham Crescent. | :19:54. | :19:57. | |
And Paul Ogden's there for us. Not about the season for the | :19:57. | :20:03. | |
Minstermen tonight, another important game? Fantastic, or with | :20:03. | :20:07. | |
something special about an evening match, but at this time of the year | :20:07. | :20:10. | |
it usually means the play-off semi- finals, and that is the case with | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
York City hosting Mansfield in the Conference semi-final first leg. | :20:14. | :20:19. | |
Not a conclusive result, they have to play another match a Monday | :20:19. | :20:22. | |
afternoon for the second leg. The winner of the second leg will go to | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
Wembley and the final to be promoted to League Two. It is an | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
understatement to say that there is a lot at stake. We can discuss that | :20:31. | :20:36. | |
with the director of York City Football Club. The agenda is even | :20:36. | :20:39. | |
bigger than the matches themselves because of the plans you have got | :20:39. | :20:47. | |
for the football club? Yes, a huge game tonight. A tremendous season. | :20:47. | :20:51. | |
Vastly important to us. We want to get promoted to lead to where we | :20:51. | :20:55. | |
should be and it will help with plans for a new stadium as well. | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
Take us through the stages of the process? You have got plans to move | :21:00. | :21:03. | |
away from the stadium, unfortunately, I would say, because | :21:03. | :21:07. | |
it is a great old place. Yes, everyone is emotional about our | :21:08. | :21:17. | |
:21:18. | :21:20. | ||
home, we have been here since 1932, between the two move grounds. -- | :21:20. | :21:26. | |
and we need to move grounds. We have to repay their loans that we | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
have, so it is massively important tonight and we want to get promoted | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
and win the trophy and get to Wembley on 12th May. Come on, York! | :21:37. | :21:44. | |
Absolutely. Largely thanks to the manager, Gary Mills, what is so | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
special about him? He has been a fantastic manager, brilliant to | :21:47. | :21:52. | |
play with him, and he has instilled some optimism and confidence in the | :21:52. | :21:55. | |
club and he has got all the players played together at the play's | :21:55. | :22:00. | |
fantastic football. The supporters had a great season watching great | :22:00. | :22:10. | |
:22:10. | :22:10. | ||
football Tanya. 7,000 tickets sold in advance, great news for the | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
board. We have all of the action tonight on Look North and if you | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
cannot come down to the game, full commentary on BBC Radio York. | :22:20. | :22:23. | |
on the Minstermen! Thank you. In the cricket, Johnny Bairstow was | :22:23. | :22:26. | |
the hero as Yorkshire finished day one of their championship match | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
against Leicestershire in a strong position. They were put into bat by | :22:29. | :22:37. | |
the visitors at Scarborough. Be closed on 329-5. Bairstow scored. | :22:37. | :22:40. | |
His partnership of 160 with Andrew Gale helped Yorkshire recover from | :22:40. | :22:47. | |
33-3. Now, is this Britain's brainiest | :22:47. | :22:52. | |
lollipop man? Dr Bruce Berry is on patrol every morning at Crofton | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
School in Wakefield. But what most pupils don't know, is that he's got | :22:56. | :23:03. | |
11 university degrees. He's a member of Mensa. And he's a Doctor | :23:03. | :23:13. | |
:23:13. | :23:13. | ||
of philosophy. We have been to meet him. | :23:13. | :23:18. | |
With his impressive list of qualifications, you might expect Dr | :23:18. | :23:26. | |
Bruce Berry to put on a group rather than hide his IND jacket. -- | :23:26. | :23:33. | |
put on a broad rather than a high vision jacket. He has got to seven | :23:33. | :23:38. | |
anys and PhDs in the last two years. He says he does that have a | :23:38. | :23:44. | |
specialist subject but he is in two languages. Anything that catches my | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
interest, I go for it. I learned all about it and I get another | :23:51. | :23:56. | |
master of arts! It is daft! He took early retirement from the Post | :23:56. | :24:00. | |
Office a decade ago so that he could study more. After a few years | :24:00. | :24:04. | |
he decided he needed extra work to pay tuition fees, and this is why | :24:04. | :24:09. | |
he became the lollipop man at the school. I do not know what | :24:09. | :24:15. | |
languages he speaks. He tries his best to keep us safe, and that is | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
what we really, really like. Do you know what language as he speaks? | :24:21. | :24:26. | |
can speak English! Are years nice, kind, I do not know how he gets | :24:26. | :24:32. | |
across the road without getting hit by a car! Not only has he got 11 | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
university degrees, he also speaks five different languages, Spanish, | :24:38. | :24:44. | |
Italian, German, Russian and French! Is there anything that he | :24:44. | :24:50. | |
doesn't know about?! They are lots of things! There our things that | :24:50. | :24:55. | |
since I do not know, I get interested in it, and I want to | :24:55. | :24:59. | |
find out. I have a thirst for knowledge. At 70 years old, you | :24:59. | :25:03. | |
would think he would want to put down the books, but not at all. He | :25:03. | :25:13. | |
:25:13. | :25:13. | ||
is currently doing another PhD. A thirst for knowledge! I love | :25:13. | :25:21. | |
that! You have got a doctorate? I was | :25:21. | :25:27. | |
given mine! What was your degree in? You like | :25:27. | :25:37. | |
:25:37. | :25:38. | ||
to show off. Geophysics and That was obviously not taking in | :25:38. | :25:43. | |
the last 24 hours, but look at this beautiful clouds. And the bluebells | :25:43. | :25:49. | |
in Sheffield. Chapeltown, I believe, looking glorious. Keep your | :25:49. | :25:57. | |
pictures coming in. You can contact me on Twitter. Tomorrow, a lot of | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
cloud around, some sunny intervals and a risk in the south of the | :26:01. | :26:06. | |
region of a little bit of patchy rain coming to the north Midlands | :26:06. | :26:11. | |
and southern parts of South Yorkshire. For the rest of us, it | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
looks set to be dry. The cloud building that will threaten | :26:15. | :26:19. | |
southern parts of Britain. Torrential rain. That will nudge | :26:20. | :26:25. | |
into the extreme south later. It Toulouse intensity as it does so. | :26:25. | :26:31. | |
And I stay outside, lots of cloud developing. Conditions turning | :26:31. | :26:36. | |
cloudy tonight. The odd bit of drizzle over the hills. Temperature | :26:36. | :26:42. | |
is a little chilly, 4 degrees, 39 degrees Fahrenheit. The Sun will | :26:42. | :26:52. | |
rise in the morning at 5:25am. Mostly cloudy to start, a little | :26:52. | :26:58. | |
bit damp in places, otherwise, generally drive. Some cloud breaks | :26:58. | :27:03. | |
and possibly crowd hanging on for longer than today. -- possibly | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
cloud. The rain threatening the North Midlands and part of South | :27:06. | :27:12. | |
Yorkshire. Another dry day in Scarborough for the cricket, but | :27:12. | :27:17. | |
the chilly wind and seven or eight degrees. That is 46 degrees | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Fahrenheit. 13 degrees in land, around 12 degrees for Sheffield and | :27:22. | :27:26. | |
into Chesterfield. Friday, some rain heading from the north and at | :27:26. | :27:30. | |
the weekend, not too bad. Chile with one or two showers and a | :27:30. | :27:34. |
