:00:03. > :00:06.Good evening. Welcome to North West Tonight with Ranvir Singh and Roger
:00:06. > :00:09.Johnson. Our top story. An exceptional soldier, husband and
:00:09. > :00:16.father - hundreds turn out in Lancashire to pay tribute to
:00:16. > :00:21.Sergeant Nigel Coupe, killed in Afghanistan. We just hope we never
:00:21. > :00:26.have to do it for our own children. God bless them. We'll hear from
:00:26. > :00:29.some of the local people who felt they had to be there. Also tonight.
:00:29. > :00:33.Saved by his mother checking on him in the middle of the night -
:00:33. > :00:36.Louie's mum tells us what made her call an ambulance. How different is
:00:36. > :00:42.this plant near Nelson? Material gains - how the Lancashire textile
:00:42. > :00:47.industry is reviving after years of bad times. So, out of all three of
:00:47. > :00:53.them, which one is going to stay up? I would say that... Blackburn,
:00:53. > :00:58.Bolton or Wigan, who does Lawro pick for the Premier League drop?
:00:58. > :01:08.And has he got the Voice to be your choice? The North West singer's
:01:08. > :01:21.
:01:21. > :01:25.Also, Diane has the forecasts for some of you who will definitely out
:01:25. > :01:27.doors on Sunday. I'm here in Longford Park - where thousands
:01:27. > :01:36.will be starting and finishing the Greater Manchester Marathon on
:01:36. > :01:43.Sunday. The weather's not looking too good for you runners, though -
:01:44. > :01:47.and we'll have more on this later. First tonight's top story. A brave
:01:47. > :01:52.and heroic soldier, the best husband and daddy ever - memories
:01:53. > :01:56.of Sergeant Nigel Coupe, buried in Lancashire this afternoon. Hundreds
:01:56. > :02:00.of people, lining the streets of St Anne's near Blackpool, broke out
:02:00. > :02:04.into applause as his coffin passed by. Nigel Coupe was killed in
:02:04. > :02:09.Afghanistan, one of six to die when an explosion hit their armoured
:02:09. > :02:15.vehicle. Stuart Flinders reports. Two daughters, five and two years
:02:15. > :02:17.old, waiting to lead their father's coffin into the church. In a
:02:17. > :02:22.tribute read during the service, their mother described Nigel Coupe
:02:22. > :02:32.as brave and heroic, simply the best. He was 33-years-old when he
:02:32. > :02:35.
:02:35. > :02:39.died. Nigel Coupe was one of six soldiers killed when their armoured
:02:39. > :02:43.vehicle was destroyed in a bomb explosion in Afghanistan. He was
:02:43. > :02:46.fiercely proud of his regiment and his country. Long before the
:02:46. > :02:49.funeral cortege appeared in St Annes this morning, small crowds
:02:49. > :02:53.gathered on street corners. Amongst them a father who knows what it's
:02:53. > :03:02.like to worry about a loved one in Afghanistan, and a son who know
:03:02. > :03:05.what it's like to be there. I am here to pay my respects. My son
:03:05. > :03:11.served in Afghanistan and my son to him because they went to school
:03:11. > :03:17.together. I was at school with Nigel. Have not seen him for many
:03:17. > :03:20.years, but to see the news on the TV, very sad, and I wanted come and
:03:20. > :03:24.pay my respects. Amongst the tributes, words from Sergeant
:03:24. > :03:27.Coupe's commanding officer. Nigel Coupe was an exceptional individual.
:03:27. > :03:28.Not only was he ahighly professional soldier, he was a
:03:28. > :03:38.diligent individual, exceptionally professional, experienced, and
:03:38. > :03:43.knowledgeable about his job. But he was also a very loving family man.
:03:43. > :03:51.Hundreds packed the church. Many others listened to a relay of the
:03:51. > :03:55.service outside. We're at just locals and wanted to say a very
:03:55. > :04:00.humble thankful for the ferry terrible walls of life, that we
:04:00. > :04:06.thought we had seen the end off. To see him giving their young son for
:04:06. > :04:10.us, something we cannot comprehend. How brave, we owe them a lot. We
:04:10. > :04:13.don't show it enough. Suddenly, on the way to a private burial,
:04:13. > :04:23.complete strangers summed up how they felt about Sergeant Nigel
:04:23. > :04:27.
:04:27. > :04:31.Coupe, with a round of applause. The funeral of Sergeant Nigel Coupe,
:04:31. > :04:34.which took place earlier today. When Julie Jenkins' baby boy was
:04:34. > :04:38.taken ill one night, her motherly instinct told her something was
:04:38. > :04:43.very wrong. She dialled 999 and he was rushed to hospital suffering
:04:43. > :04:47.from meningitis. Sadly, Louie lost part of his legs and some fingers.
:04:47. > :04:51.But doctors say he would have lost his life but for his mum's prompt
:04:51. > :04:57.action in summoning help. Now she's urging other parents to be extra
:04:57. > :05:01.vigilant. Meningitis causes the linings of
:05:01. > :05:06.the brain to swell. The most common types of the disease are viral and
:05:06. > :05:09.bacterial. The first is usually a relatively mild disease, which can
:05:09. > :05:12.affect thousands of people each year. The second can be life-
:05:12. > :05:15.threatening and needs urgent medical attention. And
:05:15. > :05:20.meningococcal septicaemia is blood poisoning, and it's that what Louis
:05:20. > :05:24.Jenkins contracted. Louis Jenkins plays happily with
:05:24. > :05:28.his mum, Julie, at their home in Colne. Just a couple of months ago,
:05:28. > :05:35.Julie feared they'd never be able to do this again. Louie became ill
:05:35. > :05:39.one night and a mother's instincts kicked in. It progressed throughout
:05:40. > :05:44.the night. He had been sick of a couple of times, had a couple of
:05:44. > :05:50.dirty nappies and a temperature. At the point of him having a
:05:50. > :05:52.temperature, I took all his close of 70 could cool down and I noticed
:05:52. > :05:57.to pinprick spots on his chest. Louie had menningococcal
:05:57. > :06:01.septiceamia. Sadly, he lost both legs below the knees and some of
:06:01. > :06:08.his fingers. But he would have lost his life had his mum not dialled
:06:08. > :06:13.999 promptly. Some of the consultant said to us that if I had
:06:13. > :06:17.not seen them when he got those first two spot, if we were just as
:06:17. > :06:21.the band did not see them, it would be in a case of if you woke up next
:06:21. > :06:26.morning he would have already gone. What is your advice to other
:06:26. > :06:30.parents? If any child has a temperature, automatically take the
:06:30. > :06:35.close of doubt to underwear, because you can see any changes. It
:06:35. > :06:39.is so important to see that first sign so they get treated as soon as
:06:39. > :06:43.possible. Louie will be the star of a fund-raising event in Foulridge
:06:43. > :06:46.which aims to raise money for medical research.
:06:46. > :06:51.Now, bacterial meningitis is still, thankfully, a relatively rare
:06:51. > :06:54.disease. But it's helpful to know how to spot the signs. The pin
:06:54. > :06:57.pricks Julie referred to on Louie's stomach were caused by bleeding
:06:57. > :07:01.under his skin, which would have developed into a rash. That rash
:07:01. > :07:04.won't disappear when pressed with a glass - though not everyone
:07:04. > :07:07.develops a rash. A severe headache, aversion to bright light and
:07:07. > :07:10.stiffness of the neck are all tell- tale signs. Babies with
:07:10. > :07:13.meningococcal disease tend to be irritable when picked up and have a
:07:13. > :07:17.high pitched cry, stiff body and jerking movements. They may refuse
:07:17. > :07:26.food and be vomiting. Hopefully it's information you'll never need
:07:26. > :07:29.- but if you do it could save a life.
:07:29. > :07:35.A 12-year-old boy from Bolton has been found guilty of raping two
:07:35. > :07:38.young girls. The schoolboy, who we cannot identify for legal reasons,
:07:38. > :07:45.sexually assaulted his victims when they were aged just ten and seven
:07:45. > :07:48.years old. He will be sentenced at Liverpool Crown Court in June.
:07:48. > :07:52.Nine teenagers have been arrested for public order offences, and one
:07:52. > :07:55.for burglary, after a mob went on the rampage at a McDonald's
:07:55. > :07:58.restaurant in Wigan. It happened two weeks ago on Standishgate, and
:07:58. > :08:02.involved about 100 youths. Some verbally abused staff, while others
:08:02. > :08:06.jumped over the counter and stole food. The police say five teenagers
:08:06. > :08:10.have been given a warning, three are on bail and one has been given
:08:10. > :08:13.a fixed penalty. The television presenter Jeremy
:08:13. > :08:18.Clarkson has lost a dispute over public access to paths near his
:08:18. > :08:22.Isle of Man holiday home. The Top Gear presenter claimed that having
:08:22. > :08:25.a public path so close to his property was a breach of his human
:08:25. > :08:30.rights. Ramblers complained when Mr Clarkson diverted a path on the
:08:30. > :08:34.Langness peninsula, but a court judgement has ruled against him.
:08:34. > :08:38.A hotel in Blackpool has been closed because of rowdy stag and
:08:38. > :08:41.hen parties. The Malibu on Albert Road - which is expecting 100
:08:41. > :08:44.guests this weekend - was closed down by Blackpool Magistrates today.
:08:44. > :08:51.It's the first time such an anti- social behaviour order has been
:08:51. > :08:54.used on a hotel. The candidates hoping to become the
:08:54. > :08:58.first elected Mayor of Salford have been setting out their plans for
:08:58. > :09:07.the city. The election will take place on May 3rd. We're hearing
:09:07. > :09:12.from all of the candidates. Here are the latest three. 2011 was the
:09:12. > :09:17.annus horribilis for Salford. I want to bring respectability back
:09:17. > :09:20.to the city. I want to review our association within Greater
:09:20. > :09:26.Manchester, I believe Salford should come first and any decision
:09:26. > :09:29.should be for Salford people and Salford shops. Because of the inept
:09:29. > :09:33.management of the city under Labour over many years, we need to move
:09:33. > :09:38.forward. We need someone like myself who has the knowledge of the
:09:38. > :09:43.City, has the policies to increase the strength of the city and to
:09:43. > :09:49.move forward with regeneration and investments. That has to come
:09:49. > :09:52.immediately. Education. There are things being taught in Our Schools
:09:52. > :09:58.that are completely unacceptable to people that live here yet they
:09:58. > :10:03.don't feel they can change it. Jobs, industry, education, those other
:10:03. > :10:06.key elements to what we want to do in Salford. There's a full list of
:10:07. > :10:08.candidates standing for the Mayor of Salford on our website -
:10:09. > :10:11.www.bbc.co.uk/manchester. You might remember last year,
:10:11. > :10:14.Greater Manchester Police were heavily criticised for their
:10:14. > :10:16.handling of a case involving a woman murdered by her partner,
:10:16. > :10:19.despite having made several complaints about him. The
:10:19. > :10:23.Independent Police Complaints Commission found Clare Wood from
:10:23. > :10:25.Salford, had been let down by "individual and systemic" failures.
:10:25. > :10:30.In response, the force has today launched a new division,
:10:30. > :10:36.specifically to investigate crimes against vulnerable people. And they
:10:36. > :10:38.invited Clare's dad to come and see it. Ian Haslam reports.
:10:38. > :10:42.Since his daughter's murder, Michael Brown has campaigned for
:10:42. > :10:47.people to have greater rights to know about the violent past of
:10:47. > :10:50.their partners. This has led to Clare's Law, which comes into force
:10:50. > :10:59.this summer. But supporting this new initiative from Greater
:10:59. > :11:03.Mancehster Police hasn't been easy. Three years ago I don't think I'd
:11:03. > :11:06.have been able to be on camera, because the language I would have
:11:06. > :11:10.used for Greater Manchester Police would have been awful. I feel that
:11:10. > :11:14.they have let not only my daughter down but several other young ladies
:11:14. > :11:17.- but if we can cut those figures down to a manageable amount I'd be
:11:17. > :11:25.more than delighted" The inquest into Clare Wood's death heard she'd
:11:25. > :11:27.made several complaints to police about her ex partner. Despite
:11:27. > :11:31.George Appleton's history of violence against women, he was able
:11:31. > :11:34.to get into her home and strangle her. The police say having a Public
:11:35. > :11:38.Protection Division could have saved her life. She may well have
:11:38. > :11:41.been - she'd certainly have been in a better position to make some
:11:41. > :11:44.choices for herself. Our uniformed response officers have been through
:11:44. > :11:47.training and we have dedicated specialist resources now to pick up
:11:47. > :11:49.and do the risk assessment and threat assessment around the
:11:49. > :11:52.information that they are given. Clare's story isn't uncommon.
:11:52. > :11:56.According to Home Office statistics, nearly one million women suffer
:11:56. > :12:01.domestic abuse each year - and two women are killed by their current
:12:01. > :12:04.or former partner each week in England and Wales. In Greater
:12:04. > :12:07.Manchester, we had 13,000 victims of demestic abuse referred to
:12:07. > :12:10.victim support last year so it's a huge problem - its unfortunately
:12:10. > :12:14.inevitable that this will happen but when we have an incident like
:12:14. > :12:18.this we learn from the domestic homocide reviews, we learn from the
:12:18. > :12:21.serious case reviews. It was in a house in this street that Clare
:12:21. > :12:24.Wood was found dead in February 2009. With the launch of its new
:12:24. > :12:27.division, Greater Manchester Police is confident that the mistakes it
:12:27. > :12:34.made in handling Clare's case won't be repeated. It can't change what
:12:34. > :12:38.happened to Clare, but her dad is pleased to see some changes. If we
:12:38. > :12:45.can cut those figures to a manageable amount, I'd be more than
:12:45. > :12:47.delighted. A century ago, textiles were big business here in the North
:12:47. > :12:52.West - before increasing competition from cheap foreign
:12:52. > :12:55.imports caused a steep decline. Now, though, there are signs of a
:12:55. > :13:05.revival with the companies that remain, finding ways to diversify
:13:05. > :13:06.
:13:06. > :13:10.and adapt. Laura Yates reports. Outwardly just an ordinary spinning
:13:10. > :13:14.mill, but how different is this plant? 100 years ago, this was an
:13:14. > :13:18.industry at its peak. Factories were full - hundreds of thousands
:13:18. > :13:22.of people employed. Textiles were thriving. But then came a long and
:13:22. > :13:24.slow decline. 50 years later, the industry was on its knees,
:13:24. > :13:28.overwhelmed by cheap foreign exports from countries like Japan
:13:28. > :13:32.and China. Today, though, the firms that remain are flourishing once
:13:32. > :13:41.more. Survivors who have learnt to evolve, with more than 100
:13:41. > :13:47.traditional textile companies in Lancashire. The manufacturers here
:13:47. > :13:53.are surviving by innovative products, new machinery, new skills,
:13:53. > :13:56.new ideas and new markets. This is S Dawes Weaving in Nelson. Marks
:13:56. > :13:59.and Spencers and Laura Ashley are among their big British clients.
:13:59. > :14:02.But they've also spotted gaps in the market. We used to work on
:14:02. > :14:06.commission basis where you would order thousands of metres. These
:14:06. > :14:10.days, people are looking for a more niche product, more speical with
:14:10. > :14:13.more luxury fabrics, which is where we come in. Not content with just
:14:13. > :14:19.making fabric, another Lancashire company run by the same family for
:14:19. > :14:23.generations is now a brand with its own shop in London. We are a
:14:23. > :14:30.manufacturer and making fabrics is what we do but we're also a
:14:30. > :14:36.retailer and that allows us to control our buiness. But what we're
:14:36. > :14:39.producing is of a higher quality. The days when Britain ruled the
:14:39. > :14:49.textile industry are long gone but the companies which survive are
:14:49. > :14:53.
:14:53. > :14:57.learning how to cut their cloth to fit a new global marketplace.
:14:57. > :15:01.Tony looking dapper in his suit. I know we are looking up their
:15:01. > :15:04.relegation battle in a minute but at the moment it seemed like Monday
:15:04. > :15:08.night is the axis on which the whole of football is balanced.
:15:08. > :15:13.was not looking forward to it? I'll be there live on Monday night for
:15:13. > :15:21.this programme. I was supposed be having a meeting with the boss but
:15:21. > :15:25.he called it off! Yes, Monday night at the Etihad Stadium will go a
:15:25. > :15:34.long way towards deciding whether it's Manchester City or United who
:15:34. > :15:37.go on to win the Premier League. The Premier League say it is
:15:37. > :15:41.available to 650 million homes around the world. The Reds are just
:15:41. > :15:45.three points ahead as it stands with just three games left, and one
:15:45. > :15:47.man who's seen it all and won it all has been speaking about that
:15:47. > :15:54.crucial match today. Peter Schmeichel, famous for his heroics
:15:54. > :15:58.in goal for the Reds, who also played for the Blues. It is not
:15:58. > :16:03.easy to be eight points behind it to find the motivation, but they
:16:03. > :16:10.have done that. They are in a position now, mostly due to some
:16:11. > :16:15.unexpected results from Manchester United, Wigan and Everton, where
:16:15. > :16:20.with a win it will put them in the driving seat. And you can see more
:16:20. > :16:24.of that interview on Football Focus tomorrow at 11.45 on BBC One. So,
:16:24. > :16:28.with the top AND bottom of the Premier League making it a nervy
:16:28. > :16:32.time for no less than five North West sides, what is going to happen
:16:32. > :16:39.in the run-in? Today I sat down with Match Of The Day's Mark
:16:39. > :16:47.Lawrenson, who told me who he thinks will be top and for the drop.
:16:47. > :16:51.I think Manchester City have missed their chance, generally. It is only
:16:51. > :16:56.Blakeley that they have looked like a team that can win the
:16:56. > :17:00.championship. I think with Manchester United and Ferguson, it
:17:00. > :17:05.is a game they do not lose, and if they do not Mesic, Manchester
:17:05. > :17:09.United win the league. It is equally exciting at the bottom of
:17:09. > :17:15.the table with Blackburn, Wigan and Bolton all in trouble. I think
:17:15. > :17:20.Spurs will have a good run now and it is a tough game for Blackburn.
:17:20. > :17:24.They have to find a way from home of getting the ball to you coup.
:17:24. > :17:28.Bolton go to Sunderland. You might argue Sunderland have nothing to
:17:28. > :17:34.play for, I don't think Martin O'Neill's teams ever have nothing
:17:34. > :17:37.to play for. Bolton might pinch a point. We can is the intriguing one
:17:37. > :17:42.because they have had a fantastic run and then felt short had fallen
:17:42. > :17:48.last weekend. I don't think we can well get beaten. I honestly think
:17:48. > :17:53.it is going to the last game of the season. There is its each game,
:17:53. > :17:59.Blackburn against Wigan. That might save one of the teams. Out of all
:17:59. > :18:04.three of them, which ones are going to stay up? Well fourth are already
:18:04. > :18:10.gone. I think Wigan will go, because they are relying on winning
:18:10. > :18:15.the last game of the season like last year. I have to say that they
:18:15. > :18:20.think maybe Bolton would go, which would not be a good end to the
:18:20. > :18:25.season. Finally Macclesfield, right at the foot of League Two could go
:18:25. > :18:30.this week. There are at home to Burton. Would you make of that
:18:30. > :18:35.situation? The Burton game is winnable. Then they go to Southend,
:18:35. > :18:40.and last game of the season, which is tough. But what Macclesfield
:18:41. > :18:45.beat at the moment is Brian Horton the players, not just the manager.
:18:45. > :18:49.I think they may care but would also have a bet that he will bring
:18:49. > :18:52.them back, given the funding. The Sale Sharks owner, Brian
:18:52. > :18:56.Kennedy, has joined forces with a group of wealthy businessmen called
:18:56. > :19:00.the Blue Knights to try and buy Rangers Football club. Kennedy says
:19:00. > :19:03.his aim is to try and save the famous Glasgow club, which is
:19:03. > :19:05.currently in administration. Sale says if the bid is successful it
:19:05. > :19:07.won't change his involvement with the Sharks.
:19:07. > :19:10.Wigan Warriors go into their Challenge Cup tie against
:19:10. > :19:14.Featherstone tonight without former Man-of-Steel Pat Richards. Richards,
:19:14. > :19:18.who scored a hat trick of tries last time out against Hull FC, has
:19:18. > :19:22.a knee injury. The Yorkshire side have only ever beaten Wigan once in
:19:22. > :19:25.six previous meetings in the competition. And you can hear full
:19:25. > :19:33.commentary on Featherstone versus Wigan on BBC Radio Manchester, and
:19:33. > :19:39.full coverage of Oldham versus St Helens on BBC Radio Merseyside.
:19:39. > :19:46.Well done to Morecambe, who have won the prestigious best football
:19:46. > :19:49.Pie Award! Steak and ale. On the basis of that I pitied him to win
:19:49. > :19:59.2-0 at the weekend. They normally give it to some
:19:59. > :19:59.
:19:59. > :20:06.quirky pie. Let us go back to the predictions. What is his hit rate?
:20:06. > :20:10.Not good! What I would say, in fairness to Mark Lawrenson, is that
:20:10. > :20:16.I think after this weekend he would make different predictions because
:20:16. > :20:20.the bottom is so Topsy Turvey. I think the best thing he said today
:20:20. > :20:25.is that it is going to go down to the last game.
:20:25. > :20:29.Nobody seems to think that Blackburn are on the way down.
:20:29. > :20:34.They have got some good players, some very good players mixed in
:20:34. > :20:39.that squad. The one thing we know from other
:20:39. > :20:42.games we have seen in recent times is that you cannot predict what is
:20:42. > :20:49.going to happen. The so what a waste of time that
:20:49. > :20:52.interview was! I want to talk about the 10 of Mark
:20:52. > :20:58.Lawrenson as well. He was under a lamp for 10 minutes
:20:58. > :21:04.before the interview! Sorry, we're very mean to him
:21:04. > :21:08.today! David Julien is the local star of
:21:08. > :21:11.The Voice who quit his job stacking shelves for the chance to appear on
:21:12. > :21:15.the television show. The 23-year- old from Leigh won a place on Danny
:21:15. > :21:18.O'Donohues team in the live shows which begin this weekend. BBC North
:21:18. > :21:22.West Tonight has been given an exclusive backstage pass to catch
:21:22. > :21:30.up with David ahead of his biggest live show yet. Peter Coulter has
:21:30. > :21:34.been to meet him. When David Julien per firmed on The
:21:34. > :21:41.Voice, performing Man That Can't Be Moved, he was amazed when two
:21:41. > :21:44.judges wanted him on their team. Haven't given up my job and risking
:21:44. > :21:49.everything, my first experience was that it had to be the best it could
:21:49. > :21:56.be. For them to turn around and say what they said was unbelievable.
:21:56. > :22:01.David went through to the battle round, taking on established singer
:22:01. > :22:05.and Newman. He nailed it and got a place in the next round. Even
:22:05. > :22:15.though it is hard work, it is my career, does what I want to do, so
:22:15. > :22:17.
:22:17. > :22:22.it is all within reach. The reason why I went for David is that I here
:22:22. > :22:28.magic quality that, even as good as he was there, I still there is at
:22:28. > :22:32.least another 20% I can get out of him, and that is frightening, if he
:22:33. > :22:42.is back good now, imagine how good he will be in a few weeks. Here is
:22:43. > :22:44.
:22:44. > :22:50.a sneak peek of what he will be singing. Not giving the rest away!
:22:50. > :22:56.He will be performing with team at Danny this weekend.
:22:56. > :23:01.Best of luck to him. A look at the weather. She has not
:23:01. > :23:08.got a brolly with the right now put the dead think that is an
:23:08. > :23:14.indication. It is a good job but runners are a
:23:14. > :23:17.hardy breed because this Sunday, at Longford Park here in Stretford,
:23:17. > :23:23.the first Greater Manchester Marathon for 10 years starts and
:23:24. > :23:31.finishes. If you are running at, at 26.24 miles, you are going to be
:23:31. > :23:37.running all over Greater Manchester. Heading out through sale,
:23:37. > :23:42.Altrincham, on to the beautiful and Massey and all the way back, so
:23:42. > :23:49.you'll see a huge amount of the city. Steve Coogan is running a

:24:00. > :24:06.weather for some Dave looks Would good in Cheshire has broken
:24:06. > :24:13.its own record for rainfall in the month. For Sunday, the Met Office
:24:13. > :24:17.have issued an or yellow alert that the rain will be quite heavy. This
:24:17. > :24:22.evening and overnight, a little bit of drizzle in the more southern
:24:22. > :24:26.parts of our region. Fairly clear him one up to spot. But for most of
:24:26. > :24:31.us there's an awful lot of cloud cover, which holds the temperatures
:24:31. > :24:37.up pretty well. In any prolonged breaks they could be a one or two
:24:37. > :24:41.and a touch of frost on the grass. On Saturday, the better day of the
:24:41. > :24:46.weekend. They will still be a lot of cloud but it will thin and break
:24:46. > :24:52.from time to time. The Isle of Man saw a good deal of sunshine today.
:24:52. > :24:58.For most of us, the weather will be much better than today. The cloud
:24:58. > :25:03.breaking from time to time. But the downside is a broad easterly wind.
:25:03. > :25:08.On the chart for Sunday there is nothing could. Mid-to-late morning
:25:08. > :25:17.the rain arrives, bringing strong winds and low temperatures. The
:25:17. > :25:23.rain will be with us virtually all If you have been trying to dodge
:25:23. > :25:29.the rain, spare a thought for this little fellow. A red squirrel
:25:29. > :25:37.trying to stay out of the showers at the National Trust offices in
:25:37. > :25:44.Grasmere. He was doing really well, having a good feed, and told...
