:00:00. > 3:59:59We will keep you updated on the Typhoon as it heads towards Vietnam
:00:00. > :00:07.this weekend. Good evening. Welcome to North West
:00:08. > :00:12.Tonight with Annabel Tiffin and Roger Johnson. Our top story...
:00:13. > :00:16.Another Rochdale grooming gang in court. Police and social services
:00:17. > :00:20.apologise after a profoundly vulnerable teenager became the
:00:21. > :00:24.latest victim of abuse. The girl made a series of allegations, but no
:00:25. > :00:31.action was taken. Also tonight. . A very lucky escape. We hear from
:00:32. > :00:36.the man squashed by a reversing lorry who walked away to tell the
:00:37. > :00:40.tale. You have a split second. I thought I was going to be
:00:41. > :00:45.guillotined in half. I thought I was going to die there and then.
:00:46. > :00:49.Rustling up results. The scheme reuniting stolen sheep with their
:00:50. > :00:53.owners in Cumbria. And after half a century of the taps
:00:54. > :01:09.running dry, Doug finally gets connected to the mains.
:01:10. > :01:14.Police have apologised to a profoundly vulnerable girl, who was
:01:15. > :01:19.groomed and sexually exploited by a gang of men in Rochdale. The victim,
:01:20. > :01:25.who was 15, made a series of allegations against the men four
:01:26. > :01:28.years ago. But no action was taken. The case was only reopened following
:01:29. > :01:31.the highly` publicised trial last year of another group of men, also
:01:32. > :01:33.in Rochdale, who were themselves jailed. Andy Gill has been following
:01:34. > :01:42.this story and has more. This is a sadly familiar story in
:01:43. > :01:47.Rochdale. Abuse of a vulnerable girl by a group of men. And what appears
:01:48. > :01:51.to be a lack of action from some of those charged with helping her. The
:01:52. > :01:54.victim is described as having a chaotic childhood. She'd been using
:01:55. > :01:57.drugs and alcohol since the age of 11. She was profoundly vulnerable.
:01:58. > :02:04.This is Freddie Kendakumana, a refugee from the Congo. In 2008 she
:02:05. > :02:07.told a rescue worker `` health worker she had been raped. Police
:02:08. > :02:12.recorded 23 hours of video interviews with her. But they didn't
:02:13. > :02:15.proceed with the case. In 2009, she made further allegations against a
:02:16. > :02:20.number of men. But again, no action was taken. She also told social and
:02:21. > :02:24.health workers she was having sex with a number of other men who were
:02:25. > :02:28.plying her with drink and drugs But none of this information was passed
:02:29. > :02:32.to police. Tonight the Rochdale MP said This case shows why not
:02:33. > :02:38.reporting child abuse should be a criminal offence.
:02:39. > :02:44.Had that existed, social workers are weird of the abuse, the impression
:02:45. > :02:51.we get, would have been obliged to report it to the lease and press for
:02:52. > :02:55.prosecution. Because that is now mandatory reporting of child`abuse,
:02:56. > :02:58.you cannot help thinking that many agencies let this go. `` been
:02:59. > :03:06.obliged to report it to the police. Today, Freddie Kendakumana and four
:03:07. > :03:10.other men were convicted. They'll be sentenced next month. The case was
:03:11. > :03:14.only reopened following the outcry in May last year, when a group of
:03:15. > :03:18.men in Rochdale were jailed for the abuse of five girls aged between 13
:03:19. > :03:20.and 15. This evening, Assistant Chief Constable Dawn Copley said
:03:21. > :03:23.Greater Manchester Police publicly apologise for their failings in
:03:24. > :03:25.today's case. She said more could and should have been done. The
:03:26. > :03:28.Independent Police Complaints Commission is now considering
:03:29. > :03:30.whether further action should be taken against the force. The
:03:31. > :03:36.Rochdale Safeguarding Children's Board said they regretted what had
:03:37. > :03:39.happened. But they were now confident that all partner agencies
:03:40. > :03:42.are now more able to intervene earlier, and more robustly, when
:03:43. > :03:47.cases of concern are brought to their attention.
:03:48. > :03:55.Thank you very much. There is some good news. The girl has started to
:03:56. > :03:57.get her life back on track after this case, and has enrolled at a
:03:58. > :04:02.local college. Next tonight, a Salford firm has
:04:03. > :04:07.been fined ?12,000 after a customer was almost crushed to death at their
:04:08. > :04:13.depot. Dave Atherton from Tyldesley was pinned against a wall by a
:04:14. > :04:15.reversing lorry. He escaped with severe bruising, but has been
:04:16. > :04:17.telling our reporter, Mark Edwardson, it could have been a lot
:04:18. > :04:21.worse. September the first last year. Dave
:04:22. > :04:27.Atherton was at the Eccles Warehouse of SIG Trading limited when this
:04:28. > :04:33.happened. It just went a bit dark. I thought a cloud had come over, then
:04:34. > :04:36.it was pitch black, and a wagon basically on top of me, it was
:04:37. > :04:42.absolutely terrifying. Dave narrowly avoided death. A point that's not
:04:43. > :04:46.lost on him. A split second, I thought I was going to be
:04:47. > :04:53.guillotined, it would go over the loading bay and I would die via and
:04:54. > :04:56.then. `` I would die there and then. SIG Trading Limited admitted two
:04:57. > :04:59.offences under the 1974 Health and Safety at Work Act. They were fined
:05:00. > :05:03.?12,000 and ordered to pay over ?9,000 in costs for failing to
:05:04. > :05:06.protect customers and staff. If I had been in a wheelchair, I might
:05:07. > :05:10.have had more to say, but because I have come away relatively unscathed,
:05:11. > :05:14.after a few months of not being very well, I am happy with what has come
:05:15. > :05:17.of it. All SIG's employees have now received health and safety training.
:05:18. > :05:25.And they've moved their customer collection point. And Dave's back at
:05:26. > :05:29.work. You have to think about your wife and kids. Everything runs
:05:30. > :05:36.through your minds in those few seconds. It was scary at the time,
:05:37. > :05:45.but I have lived to tell the tale. A lucky escape. Definitely.
:05:46. > :05:49.Next tonight, a man has been charged with murder after a man was stabbed
:05:50. > :05:53.in his home in Leigh. 62`year`old Steven Butterworth was attacked in
:05:54. > :05:56.August at a house on Diamond Street. He died in hospital a month later.
:05:57. > :05:59.David Dempsey, who's currently serving a jail sentence at Walton

:06:02. > :06:06.An 80`year`old woman has died after appearing to fall from a motorway
:06:07. > :06:09.bridge in Lancashire. The M65 motorway between Nelson and Colne
:06:10. > :06:12.was closed from eight o'clock this morning for around 90 minutes.
:06:13. > :06:17.Police say the woman died at the scene. They are appealing for

:06:22. > :06:27.after admitting benefit fraud has appeared back in court in Liverpool
:06:28. > :06:33.his extradition. 70`year`old Norman Brennan went to the Costa Del Sol in
:06:34. > :06:37.2008, but was arrested last month. He will be sentenced in Liverpool
:06:38. > :06:41.Crown Court later this month. Child benefit in the Isle of Man
:06:42. > :06:44.could be cut for higher earners from next year. Changes are being put to
:06:45. > :06:49.Tynwald, the island's Parliament, next week. If approved, it would
:06:50. > :06:52.mean that families with an annual income above ?90,000 won't receive
:06:53. > :06:55.anything. The TUC claims a pay rise for the
:06:56. > :06:58.region's low`earners could save North West taxpayers nearly ?35
:06:59. > :07:02.million. The unions are urging employers to pay staff what's called
:07:03. > :07:05.the living wage, more than a pound higher than the minimum wage. They
:07:06. > :07:10.say it would mean less money paid out in benefits, saving taxpayers
:07:11. > :07:16.millions. But some private business say they simply can't afford it
:07:17. > :07:21.Stuart Flinders reports. Julie Kendrick is a cleaner at
:07:22. > :07:25.Salford Town Hall. Six months ago, her bosses adopted the living wage
:07:26. > :07:32.as its basic pay for staff. She says it has changed her life. I am ? 200
:07:33. > :07:38.per year better off, which is a lot of money. You know, I could buy
:07:39. > :07:43.extra shopping and I will pay extra money on my gas and electric. She is
:07:44. > :07:48.one of 1200 Salford Council workers who earn a living wage, now 30, 00
:07:49. > :07:58.people nationwide on it, going up by 20p to ?7 XP five. Compare that to
:07:59. > :08:02.the national minimum wage of ?6 31. `` ?7 35. Julie was guest speaker at
:08:03. > :08:06.a conference in Manchester today. The TUC argued there that the living
:08:07. > :08:10.wage could save the public purse millions here in the North West We
:08:11. > :08:14.would be putting about ?350 million back into the tragedy in taxes and
:08:15. > :08:18.saved benefits. Because they would be paying more in taxes, claiming
:08:19. > :08:23.less, the money going into people's pockets to spend it in the North
:08:24. > :08:27.West economy. Notably, only two private companies were represented
:08:28. > :08:31.at today's conference. The question is the difference between large
:08:32. > :08:37.corporations, with an increase of 10% ` 12%, which is what the cost
:08:38. > :08:39.moving to the living wage would be, and small and medium business
:08:40. > :08:42.enterprises could find this difficult. Now, Julie Kendrick's
:08:43. > :08:50.town hall bosses are campaigning to get all Salford's employers to sign
:08:51. > :08:52.up to the living wage. Cumbria's Police and Crime
:08:53. > :08:58.Commissioner has told the Sunday Politics that concerns over his
:08:59. > :09:01.expenses have been overplayed. Richard Rhodes apologised earlier
:09:02. > :09:05.this year for spending ?700 on two chauffeur`driven trips. He also
:09:06. > :09:08.repaid the money. The employee who leaked the story was investigated by
:09:09. > :09:13.police, but no action was taken prompting concerns over the
:09:14. > :09:18.treatment of whistle`blowers. What is interesting is that actually I
:09:19. > :09:24.had put it right to months before the information came out to the
:09:25. > :09:30.public. `` two months. Not many people say that, but I identified it
:09:31. > :09:35.as incorrect and put it right. In that context, yes, I think it has
:09:36. > :09:38.been slightly overplayed. And also joining our political
:09:39. > :09:40.editor Arif Ansari on this week s Sunday Politics are the Police and
:09:41. > :09:44.Crime Commissioners for Merseyside and Cheshire, as they prepare to
:09:45. > :09:51.mark a year in office. The programme is on at the later than usual time
:09:52. > :09:54.of 12:25. That is here on BBC One. Police in Cumbria have been involved
:09:55. > :10:00.in an identity parade with a difference. No villains lining up
:10:01. > :10:04.for identification. As you can see, they are sheep! Sheep rustling is a
:10:05. > :10:08.major problem in remote upland areas. But today in Cumbria, police
:10:09. > :10:12.put 40 stolen sheep on display, hoping to reunite them with their
:10:13. > :10:20.owners. Mark McAlindon reports. Farmers came to the market from
:10:21. > :10:24.across the Pennines, Cumbria and Durham anxious to trace animals that
:10:25. > :10:30.had gone missing. They admit theft is an annual headache. And on and
:10:31. > :10:36.off problem for a number of years. This particular year, I have had
:10:37. > :10:41.eight one missing that I have never seen since letting them out Reading
:10:42. > :10:48.this spring. Sometimes, it can be natural causes, sometimes theft
:10:49. > :10:52.very difficult to prove. And unusual identity parade, but police know
:10:53. > :10:57.this crime can have a devastating impact on farmers' livelihoods. All
:10:58. > :11:03.farmers here are feeling the pain of these left, it has been called
:11:04. > :11:08.rustling, which is maybe a little too romantic, so they want to come
:11:09. > :11:12.down and show solidarity. If you are losing sheets every year, the
:11:13. > :11:17.financial impact is huge. Police were not sure how many would show
:11:18. > :11:21.up, but the fact there are so many illustrates the extent of the
:11:22. > :11:25.problem. Many farm huge swathes of land in the Pennines, making keeping
:11:26. > :11:30.track of animals more difficult And uncomfortable thought for the
:11:31. > :11:35.victims, though, is that the culprits are likely to be other
:11:36. > :11:39.farmers. It is a disgrace to the farmers concerned, but also the
:11:40. > :11:42.farming community that someone amongst ourselves would do it to
:11:43. > :11:46.fellow farmers, because the whole thing is built on trust. You turn
:11:47. > :11:50.your sheep onto the common and expect to get them returned,
:11:51. > :11:57.trusting everyone. Police say they have stepped up efforts to prevent
:11:58. > :12:04.theft, many of the farmers year depending on their animals. ``
:12:05. > :12:07.farmers here. Still to come on North West
:12:08. > :12:12.Tonight... As Tranmere Rovers fans try to buy the club, we find out if
:12:13. > :12:17.supporter ownership can work. And we'll also meet Doug, who for 50
:12:18. > :12:21.years got his water from an erratic spring and has finally been
:12:22. > :12:26.connected to the mains. We could freeze up in the winter, then have
:12:27. > :12:33.no water, and on Christmas Day, it always packed up.
:12:34. > :12:38.LAUGHTER. Who are thing, he could not boiled his sprouts. `` poor
:12:39. > :12:43.thing. Speaking of that day! There are 46
:12:44. > :12:47.shopping days left until Christmas. At least that's what Roger worked
:12:48. > :12:53.out. So blame him if he's got it wrong. I hope I got it right. And
:12:54. > :12:56.tonight the region's two biggest cities are turning on their festive
:12:57. > :12:59.lights. Both Liverpool and Manchester have invested heavily in
:13:00. > :13:03.the displays, in the hope that shoppers will be drawn by the bright
:13:04. > :13:06.lights to get the tills ringing We're live in both cities this
:13:07. > :13:11.evening. In a moment, we'll hear from Naomi Cornwell in Manchester.
:13:12. > :13:16.There she is. But first to Liverpool and our Chief Reporter Dave Guest.
:13:17. > :13:24.Almost sneaking out of the picture. You are at Liverpool One? That is
:13:25. > :13:30.right, the lights went on a pure moments ago. A lantern parade has
:13:31. > :13:38.made its way throughout the city, we have a samba band, and even some
:13:39. > :13:45.snow, not real, laid on especially. A fantastic scene, all of this,
:13:46. > :13:52.spectacular as it looks, come as `` comes with a cost. They've spent
:13:53. > :13:55.?250,000 here in Liverpool on the lights. It is part of ?1 million
:13:56. > :13:58.spent by the public and private sector on festive attractions. But
:13:59. > :14:02.they say it's money well spent. Christmas business is said to be
:14:03. > :14:04.worth more than ?500 million to the city centre economy. How does that
:14:05. > :14:13.work out? Malcolm Kennedy is from the council how important is
:14:14. > :14:18.Christmas to this city? Incredibly important to the economy and the
:14:19. > :14:26.shops especially. Evil complain it comes earlier and earlier. `` people
:14:27. > :14:35.will complain. That is said every year, but you see people's faces and
:14:36. > :14:41.what a good time it is for people. So is still spending money for these
:14:42. > :14:46.lights? Yes, and the Christmas tree lights, the best ever. And you think
:14:47. > :14:55.it is money well spent. We are in Liverpool One, and you are marketing
:14:56. > :15:00.manager, what is the mood this year? Very optimistic, entering the most
:15:01. > :15:04.important time of the year, but in a good position, optimistic and
:15:05. > :15:10.confident. This time last year, we were welcoming six William people
:15:11. > :15:15.into the centre, and we feel we will have an equally strong Christmas. ``
:15:16. > :15:21.welcoming 6 million people. Would people come without all the
:15:22. > :15:26.Christmas lights and razzmatazz You look at the smiles on people's
:15:27. > :15:31.faces, shopping is a leisure and social occasion, coming out and
:15:32. > :15:36.soaking up the atmosphere. Thank you. We are lit up in Liverpool but
:15:37. > :15:44.still waiting for them to switch on in Manchester? Yes, Dave! Anything
:15:45. > :15:49.Liverpool can do, Manchester will always claim to do better. Perhaps
:15:50. > :15:55.except the weather tonight! Any excuse for a bit of friendly rivalry
:15:56. > :16:00.between the two cities. Ashour will start involving the likes of James
:16:01. > :16:07.Arthur, Jodie Prenger and Pudsey Heerden Albert Square. `` here in.
:16:08. > :16:17.But first to the number crunching. Dave, my figures are bigger than
:16:18. > :16:20.yours! Manchester City Council estimates that the city's economy is
:16:21. > :16:23.boosted by more than ?70 million due to the Christmas markets alone.
:16:24. > :16:26.They're expecting more than eight million visitors to the city centre
:16:27. > :16:29.over the Christmas period. And this year they've bought a fancy new
:16:30. > :16:35.lighting system which will cost ?180,000 a year to keep up. That
:16:36. > :16:38.might sound like a lot. But they say it will save them nearly ?100,0 0 a
:16:39. > :16:42.year compared to lights they've rented in the past. This new system
:16:43. > :16:45.will be used for other events too. We can show you an artist's
:16:46. > :16:49.impression of what it'll look like when it's switched on. It's a series
:16:50. > :16:52.of fibre optic cables which will throw beams of light across the
:16:53. > :16:55.streets. And the man who Manchester City Council have called their
:16:56. > :16:58.Christmas Spokesman is here to tell us more, Councillor Pat Karney. If
:16:59. > :17:04.you can hear as over the excitement. CHEERING. Everyone in Manchester is
:17:05. > :17:10.down in Albert Square tonight, I have never seen crowds like this.
:17:11. > :17:16.You claim these lights will be visible from space, have you had too
:17:17. > :17:22.much mulled wine already? Other galaxies have said they can see
:17:23. > :17:27.Manchester's lights, and they are on their way to see the lights. Thank
:17:28. > :17:33.you very much for joining as tonight. As you can tell, the party
:17:34. > :17:40.is already getting underway, thousands of people crowded into the
:17:41. > :17:45.square, all culminating at 8pm. You can see more in the late bulletin at
:17:46. > :17:55.10:30pm. I think we can just about `` we
:17:56. > :17:59.could just about hear her. Fantastic! Switching the lights on
:18:00. > :18:03.in Liverpool and Manchester tonight, and we will see some of the
:18:04. > :18:16.displays at half past ten. Richard is here. Our very own Michael Buble!
:18:17. > :18:20.I can sing a bit better! The standout game of the weekend in
:18:21. > :18:24.the Premier League, Manchester United against Arsenal?
:18:25. > :18:29.Yes, the Reds' eight match unbeaten run is sure to be put to the test by
:18:30. > :18:33.an Arsenal side. For the first time in years, they look like genuine
:18:34. > :18:37.title contenders. United haven't fared well against the top sides so
:18:38. > :18:40.far this season, losing to Liverpool and Manchester City and drawing with
:18:41. > :18:43.Chelsea. Defeat on Sunday would leave them 11 points behind Arsenal.
:18:44. > :18:48.But history is on David Moyes' side. The Gunners haven't won at Old
:18:49. > :18:53.Trafford since 2006. Arsenal will come to play the champions from last
:18:54. > :18:56.season, they are in that position at the top of the league themselves
:18:57. > :19:00.just now, so therefore Matt the start of this season has been very
:19:01. > :19:07.good and they will come here in good spirits. `` the form at the start of
:19:08. > :19:13.the season. We hope to put up a good show. Recently not doing so well,
:19:14. > :19:20.and it is a good opportunity to show that we have improved and that we
:19:21. > :19:25.can win there, that is our target, to go there and win the game.
:19:26. > :19:31.Also in action on Sunday are Manchester City, who go to next to
:19:32. > :19:33.bottom Sunderland. And top scorer Sergio Aguero has today been
:19:34. > :19:36.rewarded for his recent outstanding form by winning the Barclays Premier
:19:37. > :19:39.League Player of the Month for October. Elsewhere, third placed
:19:40. > :19:42.Liverpool host Fulham at Anfield tomorrow. Everton could break into
:19:43. > :19:45.the Premier League's top four if they win at bottom club Crystal
:19:46. > :19:48.Palace. In the Championship, Burnley boss
:19:49. > :19:52.Sean Dyche has won Manager of the Month for October. Dyche has
:19:53. > :19:55.transformed the Clarets from a lower mid table side to league leaders.
:19:56. > :20:00.Tomorrow they host Bournemouth, managed by Dyche's predecessor, of
:20:01. > :20:04.course, Eddie Howe. A group of fans trying to raise
:20:05. > :20:09.money to buy Tranmere Rovers say they're confident they can do it.
:20:10. > :20:13.The Tranmere Rovers Trust believes that raising ?500,000 by the end of
:20:14. > :20:16.the year will prove it. Supporters' ownership at other clubs has had

:20:21. > :20:24.into Chester. Ahead of Rovers' FA Cup match at Accrington, I went to
:20:25. > :20:28.test the water. Tranmere Rovers, whose history goes
:20:29. > :20:32.back to the 1880s, is not a club in crisis. But just as Rovers found a
:20:33. > :20:36.new direction in the 20th century, this is them playing in the 193 s.
:20:37. > :20:44.They're trying to do so again. And some think community ownership is
:20:45. > :20:49.the answer. This is a fantastic opportunity for the fans to buy this
:20:50. > :20:54.football club. We have had over ?25,000 on top of the ?100,000 we
:20:55. > :20:58.had, in the first week, and we have said until the end of the year, and
:20:59. > :21:02.people can't wait until the end of the year. I would say to act now.
:21:03. > :21:07.The current Chairman Peter Johnson is willing to sell. That is not the
:21:08. > :21:14.issue. Convincing him they can take on a club with operating costs of ?4
:21:15. > :21:19.million a season is. The first year would be the toughest, but there are
:21:20. > :21:24.opportunities. But is it realistic, when looking at the wages to pay for
:21:25. > :21:30.players to compete in this division? Some people say it is inevitable you
:21:31. > :21:34.will slip away? Not necessarily We have one of the lowest budgets in
:21:35. > :21:39.the season and we would look to maintain that. Football outside the
:21:40. > :21:43.riches of the Premier League is tough, but we are ambitious and
:21:44. > :21:46.think we can do it. Few people know Rovers better than current manager
:21:47. > :21:52.and former player Ronnie Moore. It is difficult when you are trying to
:21:53. > :21:57.raise money, talking about 500 brand at this present time, then all the
:21:58. > :22:01.bills next year, `` talking about 500,000 at this present time, then
:22:02. > :22:05.all the bills next year, but I will focus on coaching. The club is also
:22:06. > :22:10.talking to other as yet unnamed investors. Peter Johnson himself was
:22:11. > :22:15.not available for comment. We will get him in the end!
:22:16. > :22:18.One of the North West's best known Rugby League players has announced
:22:19. > :22:23.his retirement today. Warrington's Lee Briers has been forced to call
:22:24. > :22:26.it a day on medical advice due to a neck problem. Lee, who has been a
:22:27. > :22:29.huge part of the current team's success, is the club's highest
:22:30. > :22:34.points scorer. He'll now be part of the coaching staff at the Halliwell
:22:35. > :22:37.Jones. And good luck to England and the
:22:38. > :22:40.seven North West players included in the squad for tomorrow's Rugby
:22:41. > :22:43.League World Cup match against Fiji tomorrow. And Lee Briers is one of
:22:44. > :22:49.those players who never played by the rule book and was fantastic to
:22:50. > :22:54.watch. Spontaneous, yeah, brilliant. Thank you very much.
:22:55. > :22:57.Doug Goulbourne has been living without a television and central
:22:58. > :23:01.heating for 50 years. And his drinking water has come from a
:23:02. > :23:05.stream on his farm. That might sound it elected some people. But it
:23:06. > :23:08.wasn't. But now, Doug has finally been given the chance to join the
:23:09. > :23:16.21st century. Jayne McCubbin reports.
:23:17. > :23:24.WATER RUNS. A moment to savour. Absolutely
:23:25. > :23:30.wonderful, really nice, I like that. Treated water from a tap, the first
:23:31. > :23:37.time in 50 years since he has lived at the farm. I will be pleased with
:23:38. > :23:45.this. And it is down there? yes far too muddy. This is the stream his
:23:46. > :23:52.water previously came from and the pump 166 years old. And not always
:23:53. > :23:57.reliable? No, unfortunately, there can be a drought in the summer, then
:23:58. > :24:02.it could freeze in the winter and we would have no water. And on
:24:03. > :24:08.Christmas day, it always packed up. His connection to the network all
:24:09. > :24:14.part of a ?3 million scheme in this remote valley, 30 other properties
:24:15. > :24:18.also been connected. It is designed to get 200 properties like this on
:24:19. > :24:25.to the mains. It is about making sure there is sufficient supply 365
:24:26. > :24:30.days per year. The new water to my palate is a little metallic, but I
:24:31. > :24:36.will get used to it, like I did the other, it is really fine, I am
:24:37. > :24:42.chaffed. The irony is there is a flipping reservoir down the hill! At
:24:43. > :24:47.least it is coming from there, I will not have that problem ever
:24:48. > :24:53.again! Water, water everywhere. I love how
:24:54. > :25:00.he thinks it has a metallic taste, I suppose spring water will be
:25:01. > :25:09.beautiful. Like out of a bottle I suppose. I love that his pump has
:25:10. > :25:13.lasted 166 years. And we have the weather. You try to get to
:25:14. > :25:23.Liverpool, but couldn't get there. I wanted to be there to do some
:25:24. > :25:28.shopping, but will have to go to Manchester instead. We saw some
:25:29. > :25:33.showers this afternoon and this weekend will be particularly cold.
:25:34. > :25:41.Wrap up warm. Sunday looks like the better day of the weekend, we expect
:25:42. > :25:45.dry and fine conditions. Temperatures eight or nine Celsius
:25:46. > :25:49.at best. Probably just a touch below average for this time of year. The
:25:50. > :25:58.showers this afternoon and this evening, these drove me back from
:25:59. > :26:03.Liverpool, some heavy pulses making their way across Greater Manchester
:26:04. > :26:07.to Merseyside. We hang onto the showers overnight, then eventually
:26:08. > :26:13.fading, leaving some clear skies across parts of Merseyside and maybe
:26:14. > :26:17.parts of Cumbria. Temperatures falling as low as maybe three
:26:18. > :26:23.Celsius, possibly colder than that if you live relief. Tomorrow, ``
:26:24. > :26:30.possibly colder if you live in rural areas. Tomorrow, scattered showers,
:26:31. > :26:35.plenty of cloud, we may see some bright spells in between the
:26:36. > :26:40.showers, a breezy afternoon in parts, and temperatures
:26:41. > :26:45.disappointing. Six Celsius in parts of Lancashire. Wrap up warm if you
:26:46. > :26:51.are outdoors. Tomorrow night, the showers fading, lots of clear skies,
:26:52. > :26:58.meaning heading into Sunday, we see a touch of frost for remembrance one
:26:59. > :27:02.day. It will be a cold day. `` remembrance Sunday. Some good spells
:27:03. > :27:08.of sunshine, starting off dry in the morning, then it looks like we will
:27:09. > :27:14.have some rain later. Dry all day on Sunday, then rain slowly is lashing
:27:15. > :27:21.in, hopefully not seeing that until Sunday night into Monday, so fingers
:27:22. > :27:29.crossed we are dry for Sunday. You might as well head straight to the
:27:30. > :27:42.shops! And the sheep and identity parade. Lots of puns coming in. Such
:27:43. > :27:48.as individual baa`codes!
