We did not want to hear that. That is all | :00:00. | :00:00. | |
Welcome to North West Tonight with Roger Johnson | :00:00. | :00:08. | |
Talks to avert a strike by baggage handlers at Manchester Airport | :00:09. | :00:12. | |
They're threatening to walk out for 48 hours before Christmas Day. | :00:13. | :00:17. | |
Blazing a trail - how Timothy's new job proves | :00:18. | :00:21. | |
the value of Down's Syndrome employees in the workplace. | :00:22. | :00:24. | |
It's made me proud, how I'm working here. | :00:25. | :00:28. | |
Thirsty work - the 200-year-old brewery tradition looking | :00:29. | :00:33. | |

How a little boy's memory is kept alive - | :00:43. | :00:47. | |
by the dad they call the Chocolate Orange Man. | :00:48. | :01:02. | |
Talks will be held tomorrow to try to prevent a strike | :01:03. | :01:04. | |
Which threatens to disrupt Christmas holidaymakers | :01:05. | :01:12. | |
over what's expected to be the busiest Christmas | :01:13. | :01:13. | |
who're employed by Swissport - are planning to strike | :01:14. | :01:18. | |
More than half a million passengers are expected to pass | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
through the airport over the holiday period. | :01:23. | :01:25. | |
What's this all about? the airport for us. | :01:26. | :01:38. | |
What's this all about? It's about to pay. Baggage handlers | :01:39. | :01:44. | |
here, have rejected a three-year deal worth over 3.5%. The union says | :01:45. | :01:52. | |
it barely keeps pace with inflation. The dispute has been compounded, | :01:53. | :02:03. | |
they say... While the company at the centre of the dispute have produced | :02:04. | :02:06. | |
their own statement... supposed to be the busiest Christmas | :02:07. | :02:28. | |
at the airport they have ever had, what is the impact likely to be on | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
passengers? It is a very busy time of the year | :02:33. | :02:38. | |
these days - 640,000 passengers expected through | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
a year over the Christmas period. Bob 22 are sent on last year. In | :02:43. | :02:48. | |
Liverpool they are expecting the numbers to go up ten at present on | :02:49. | :02:51. | |
last year. Whether you will be affected on this partly depends on | :02:52. | :02:56. | |
where you are flying from. In Liverpool they do employee baggage | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
handlers from Swissport, but it's different union and they are not | :03:02. | :03:04. | |
expected to strike. Here, it may depend on who you're flying with. | :03:05. | :03:11. | |
Many airlines have contracts with Swissport, and of course the strike | :03:12. | :03:15. | |
is due to start on Thursday night at the night, going into Friday | :03:16. | :03:19. | |
morning, and end Christmas Eve, midnight into Christmas Day morning. | :03:20. | :03:24. | |
Not guaranteed it is going to happen, there are talks planned? | :03:25. | :03:28. | |
That is the good news. Talks tomorrow that may avert the strike. | :03:29. | :03:34. | |
But I hate to be the bearer of bad news at this time of year, there are | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
mind if you're travelling, there are two other national dispute looming, | :03:40. | :03:44. | |
cabin crew going on strike over Christmas, and Virgin Atlantic | :03:45. | :03:50. | |
pilots on a work to rule. So if you are going to seeks Sunshine by Ed | :03:51. | :03:54. | |
this Christmas, there are a few problems that may affect you. | :03:55. | :03:59. | |
We will follow those talks with interest tomorrow bring you any | :04:00. | :04:01. | |
resolution tomorrow night. A Greater Manchester charity | :04:02. | :04:02. | |
has launched a mission to provide aid to thousands | :04:03. | :04:04. | |
of people fleeing Aleppo. As the city's being evacuated | :04:05. | :04:06. | |
under a truce deal, Up to 16,000 people are expected | :04:07. | :04:08. | |
to arrive in nearby Azaz, where the charity Human Appeal | :04:09. | :04:12. | |
is building tents Rehan Salim from the charity | :04:13. | :04:15. | |
is here, he's in charge Thank you very much for coming in. | :04:16. | :04:30. | |
When you speak to people who are volunteering and helping your | :04:31. | :04:34. | |
charity on the ground, what are they saying? What conditions are these | :04:35. | :04:38. | |
people coming from and how are they arriving? | :04:39. | :04:41. | |
Unfortunately, at the moment, I think approximately 8000 people have | :04:42. | :04:46. | |
left from inside Aleppo. The word from a ground teams is that people | :04:47. | :04:50. | |
are leaving with only the clothes on their backs. They are carrying what | :04:51. | :04:53. | |
they can carry in terms of foodstuff, etc. | :04:54. | :04:59. | |
, They are going through dire conditions, in the winter it gets | :05:00. | :05:03. | |
down to around minus four degrees. People are freezing, they don't have | :05:04. | :05:08. | |
any food, there are no medical clinics around. People are | :05:09. | :05:13. | |
struggling making their way to Azaz. 8000 people a lot to descend on one | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
area, heady couple that matter people? | :05:19. | :05:22. | |
That is the issue, and they're expecting maybe another 30-40,000 | :05:23. | :05:29. | |
people to come out. We're working in terms of providing hot food meals, | :05:30. | :05:33. | |
particular when people are coming from this area. Lack of food and | :05:34. | :05:39. | |
water, providing 5000 meals per day. One of the big concerns for | :05:40. | :05:43. | |
ourselves is that a good four to present of those leaving our | :05:44. | :05:49. | |
children. The children are many without their parents. Someone get | :05:50. | :05:51. | |
to Azaz, they don't have anyone there. This is a concern for people | :05:52. | :05:57. | |
like yourself who are focusing on children. | :05:58. | :06:01. | |
Is it safe where this camp is? Reports are saying because it led is | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
right next to Aleppo, there is potential this could be the next | :06:07. | :06:11. | |
target in terms of the regime. This is something we're preparing for, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
but for the time being, our operations are happening. | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
We saw your providing shelter and food, what can people here do? | :06:20. | :06:27. | |
So far, we've had such great reaction to the Aleppo appeal, I | :06:28. | :06:33. | |
think the first three days we raised around ?250,000, that is a testament | :06:34. | :06:37. | |
UK. People are feeling it, with the UK. People are feeling it, with the | :06:38. | :06:44. | |
Facebook videos. I think people feel a responsibility, and it is very | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
heart-warming. That is amazing, a huge amount of | :06:48. | :06:50. | |
money in a short amount of time. We wish you well with more fundraising, | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
people can look at your Facebook site. | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
You can donate online as well. Thank you very much indeed. | :07:00. | :07:02. | |

Timothy Broadhurst loves playing sport and socialising with friends. | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
Now, thanks to a new scheme, he's become a valued member of staff | :08:14. | :08:19. | |
at the head office of shoe repair firm Timpson in Manchester. | :08:20. | :08:22. | |
Timothy Broadhurst is 25, and has been working | :08:23. | :08:27. | |
It's down to DS WorkFit, an organisation which helps | :08:28. | :08:32. | |
employers to connect with people with Down's syndrome. | :08:33. | :08:36. | |
This is one of my jobs, car park managing. | :08:37. | :08:40. | |
This is the postroom, where I sought the post out. | :08:41. | :08:47. | |
When he first started, his colleagues were given additional | :08:48. | :08:49. | |
training to understand the challenges facing someone | :08:50. | :08:50. | |
One of the main objects for us is finding a manager who really | :08:51. | :08:56. | |
wants to employ someone who has Down's syndrome. | :08:57. | :09:05. | |
Although his colleagues insist he's treated | :09:06. | :09:07. | |
He just seems to get in and get on with it, kind of thing. | :09:08. | :09:11. | |
Every so often he might need an arm round his shoulder or even | :09:12. | :09:14. | |
And earlier this year, Timothy received a special award | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
Presented by none other than Coronation Street | :09:20. | :09:22. | |
Can I have a pork and turkey, please? | :09:23. | :09:30. | |
It's made me proud, how I'm working here. | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
A fun-loving character to have around the building. | :09:39. | :09:43. | |
Timpson has an opportunities for all policy, and considers anyone | :09:44. | :09:48. | |
for a role, as long as they're able to do it. | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
After seeing Timothy successfully hold down a job, | :09:51. | :09:55. | |
it's hoped other employers may be prepared to do the same. | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
Why did Santa's helper see the doctor? | :09:59. | :10:04. | |
Nice one, ten, cracker jokes are great! | :10:05. | :10:26. | |
It's derby night on Merseyside, but will home advantage help Everton | :10:27. | :10:30. | |
And toasting the heart of their village - | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
a Christmas Star for the couple who bring | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
In the last hour, a plaque has been unveiled at Liverpool Town Hall | :10:37. | :10:46. | |
to the memory of the hundreds of local people who supported | :10:47. | :10:49. | |
the anti-fascist cause in the Spanish Civil War. | :10:50. | :10:52. | |
The new memorial marks the 80th anniversary of the war, | :10:53. | :10:54. | |
one which inspired so many ordinary people to take up | :10:55. | :10:57. | |
Here's our Merseyside Reporter, Andy Gill. | :10:58. | :11:06. | |
They were known as the International Brigade - | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
people from all over the world who went to fight when the Spanish army | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
rose against an elected left-wing Government. Of the 130 Merseyside | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
people who went, 80 were killed. And now a plaque to the memory of all | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
those who fought was unveiled at Liverpool town hall. | :11:28. | :11:31. | |
They were forbidden to go. The Government said it was illegal for | :11:32. | :11:36. | |
them to go, but they went, nevertheless. Even companies on | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
Merseyside helped support then and support the fight against Franco. | :11:41. | :11:49. | |
The director Ken Loach made an award winning film about a working-class | :11:50. | :11:53. | |
Liverpudlian who goes to fight fascism in Spain. | :11:54. | :11:57. | |
I left Liverpool would adapt, romantic idea. | :11:58. | :12:02. | |
The International Brigade was on the losing side. Of course, it wasn't | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
just people from Merseyside he went. As the People's History Museum In | :12:09. | :12:15. | |
Manchester records. The vast majority were working-class | :12:16. | :12:20. | |
women and men from working-class areas like Liverpool and Manchester. | :12:21. | :12:24. | |
That is why a disproportionate number, from cities, particular in | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
the North West. The man who unveiled the plaque | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
hopes visitors will be inspired to find out more about the Spanish | :12:32. | :12:34. | |
Civil War. This is part of modern Europe, Spain | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
is a very different country from what it was in those days. But | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
people look back less than a century, they can find out how these | :12:43. | :12:49. | |
forces of darkness are very -- never very far from us. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
Lord Sugar has picked his Apprentice in the final on BBC One, | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
but a Blackburn brewery is after an apprentice of its own, | :12:58. | :13:00. | |
You're public wondering what Lord Sugar has to do with a horse! | :13:01. | :13:12. | |
This job is certainly unusual - the chance to help look | :13:13. | :13:14. | |
after Thwaites' famous shire horses, which have been part | :13:15. | :13:16. | |
Stuart Pollitt's been to find out what skills are needed. | :13:17. | :13:22. | |
Think Apprentice, and this probably comes to mind. | :13:23. | :13:25. | |
Lord Sugar began his search for a brand-new business partner... | :13:26. | :13:33. | |
Think apprenticeships, and the normal image is eager | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
But this apprenticeship is very different. | :13:37. | :13:44. | |
A successful candidate will be looking after | :13:45. | :13:46. | |
This job is just the ideal job for me. | :13:47. | :13:50. | |
I love beer, so what more could a man want? | :13:51. | :13:56. | |
Richard smiled his way through the job for 16 years. | :13:57. | :14:00. | |
It's very rare, jobs like this don't come along at all. | :14:01. | :14:03. | |
If your heart's in this kind of a job, | :14:04. | :14:05. | |
No time for mucking about, but the odd bit of mocking out. | :14:06. | :14:26. | |
As well as all the dirty work here at the stables, | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
you have to be the public face of the company, taking these | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
two to more than 100 events every year. | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
And that means dressing for the role. | :14:34. | :14:35. | |
Horses have been part of our business since inception. | :14:36. | :14:42. | |
Who's the Lord Sugar of this operation, is that you? | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
I guess so, but there'll be no tasks. | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
There'll be no pitches, no boardroom grilling at all. | :14:51. | :14:54. | |
No, just as long as you're good with a shovel. | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
There's already been dozens of applications, | :14:58. | :15:05. | |
the free beer is only for the horses. | :15:06. | :15:18. | |
I hope they're able to walk after that! | :15:19. | :15:25. | |
He's messaging, like me! You had to be quite tall to reach | :15:26. | :15:27. | |
them, to grin them at the top. And now for a Christmas Star Award | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
which will definitely get Roseanne and Tony Davies are known | :15:31. | :15:33. | |
as Mr and Mrs Affetside - the village in Bury where they | :15:34. | :15:37. | |
live - because of everything they do They organise events | :15:38. | :15:40. | |
bringing everyone together throughout the year, | :15:41. | :15:43. | |
including This year, the villagers | :15:44. | :15:45. | |
wanted to repay the couple for all their kindness - | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
and Abbie Jones went It's not Christmas without carols | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
around the Affetside village tree. The whole community gathered | :15:52. | :16:01. | |
round, young and old, brought together by these two, | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
Roseanne and Tony Davies. To create friendship | :16:08. | :16:10. | |
within the village, And it took off very nicely, | :16:11. | :16:11. | |
right from day one, with all the activities | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
that we organised. When we first came, nobody | :16:17. | :16:19. | |
knew their next-door neighbour. For hours, Roseanne and Tony have | :16:20. | :16:28. | |
been straightening seats, tweaking the tinsel, | :16:29. | :16:30. | |
making sure the And they don't just organise this | :16:31. | :16:32. | |
event, but Father Christmas visits, They really are the heart | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
and soul of our village. They give everything, they're always | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
there, for every event. Doesn't matter what we do, | :16:43. | :16:47. | |
they turn up and give 200%. # And a partridge | :16:48. | :16:50. | |
in a pear tree...#. I have to say, we're slightly | :16:51. | :16:53. | |
here under false pretences. We haven't just come | :16:54. | :16:56. | |
to film this wonderful carol concert, but we've | :16:57. | :16:58. | |
come to surprise two very special people, | :16:59. | :17:01. | |
who, without you, I don't think any OK, Roseanne and Tony, | :17:02. | :17:04. | |
you do so much for this And for all your hard work, | :17:05. | :17:16. | |
we've nominated you for this BBC North West Tonight | :17:17. | :17:26. | |
Christmas Star Award. A little emotional, | :17:27. | :17:29. | |
to be honest with you. If every village and community had | :17:30. | :17:38. | |
a Tony and Roseanne, We've just bought a house up | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
here because of people like that. After the carols, mulled | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
wine to celebrate. To a couple who bring | :17:46. | :17:49. | |
cheer to this village, not just at Christmas, | :17:50. | :17:54. | |
but all year round. I just want to go an live there! | :17:55. | :18:10. | |
It's lovely, isn't it? We have another Christmas a stray | :18:11. | :18:14. | |
tomorrow for you, right through the week until Friday. | :18:15. | :18:20. | |
On to sport now. Lots to talk about, one place with every have to start, | :18:21. | :18:23. | |
because big match, Merseyside Monday. | :18:24. | :18:24. | |
Yes, Everton against Liverpool at Goodison Park. | :18:25. | :18:26. | |
The Blues have won just one of the last 19 derbies and will be | :18:27. | :18:30. | |
Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool - who've lost just once in their last | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
14 Premier League matches - have other ideas, of course. | :18:35. | :18:37. | |
And both sets of fans will have everything crossed that | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
it's their team that comes out on top. | :18:41. | :18:53. | |
Whatever the era, the Merseyside derby is often supercharged. | :18:54. | :19:06. | |
It's pressure, of course, but we all love it. We all want this loud | :19:07. | :19:12. | |
stadium, we want the really a emotional crowd around and all that | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
stuff. It's not a normal match. It's about | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
the Derby rivalry between Everton and Liverpool. It's all about their | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
fans, and we understand that. The rivalry between the two clubs is | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
intense. But in a city where families are often half loo and half | :19:34. | :19:39. | |
red, they also come together, as they do today. There's half blue and | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
half red. Helping the that's Liverpool foodbank. For 12 months, | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
they've been collecting outside Anfield and Goodison every Monday. | :19:50. | :19:57. | |
There collecting food for residents struggling to make ends meet. | :19:58. | :20:01. | |
It is about putting aside rivalry and think people are more important. | :20:02. | :20:05. | |
It's about solidarity in times of need. What a perfect example of what | :20:06. | :20:11. | |
we're trying to achieve here. When we might enter the game | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
tonight? At the first Wessel. | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
Disturb it's a great game, and Liverpool win. | :20:21. | :20:25. | |
Home win, all the way. And with Christmas just around the | :20:26. | :20:29. | |
corner, no-one want to lose this one. | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
We won't lose today. What makes you confidence? | :20:33. | :20:37. | |
I'm whenever turning, you have to be. | :20:38. | :20:41. | |
I'm hoping they win 2-1. What all be like if Everton lose? | :20:42. | :20:51. | |
Season-ticket holder, devastated abilities, delighted if they win. If | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
they lose, the kids don't get no Christmas presents or nothing! | :20:56. | :21:01. | |
The Merseyside derby can come soon enough. Should be a cracker. | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
There'll be full match commentary from Goodison Park | :21:06. | :21:07. | |
on BBC Radio Merseyside tonight, all the build up starts at 7pm. | :21:08. | :21:10. | |
And you can watch highlights on a special Match Of The Day, | :21:11. | :21:12. | |
Manchester City leapfrogged Liverpool in the table after a 2-1 | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
Pep Guardiola's side trailed 1-0 at half time, but hit back just | :21:17. | :21:21. | |
after the restart, when Leroy Sane benefited from a dubious call | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger claimed City's winner from Raheem Sterling | :21:25. | :21:30. | |
should also have been disallowed for offside. | :21:31. | :21:37. | |
There was more refereeing controversy at White Hart Lane, | :21:38. | :21:39. | |
The Clarets were leading through Ashley Barnes' goal | :21:40. | :21:42. | |
when the home side's Moussa Sissoko was guilty of a late, | :21:43. | :21:45. | |
Burnley boss Sean Dyche thought he should have been sent off, | :21:46. | :21:51. | |
but just a minute after being booked, | :21:52. | :21:52. | |
Sissoko set up Danny Rose for the game's deciding goal. | :21:53. | :21:58. | |
North West winners were at a premium in the Football League, | :21:59. | :22:01. | |
with just two of our 12 teams tasting success. | :22:02. | :22:03. | |
In the Championship, it's just one defeat in seven now | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
for Preston North End, who won 2-1 at Bristol City, thanks to goals | :22:07. | :22:09. | |
from Simon Makienok in the first half, and then Daniel Johnson | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Matty Lund's hat-trick kept Rochdale's League One | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
This is a lovely story, sad but inspiring. | :22:18. | :22:38. | |
When Elliott Lamb was being treated in hospital, | :22:39. | :22:40. | |
his dad bought a Chocolate Orange to say thank you to the staff. | :22:41. | :22:43. | |
Elliot passed away, aged just four, in 2010. | :22:44. | :22:45. | |
But every Christmas, his dad has continued giving | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
Not just one or two - thousands upon thousands. | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
In fact, this year, he's given 7000 of them to doctors | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
and nurses up and down the country, as Judy Hobson reports. | :22:55. | :23:00. | |
Just a little something to say thank you. | :23:01. | :23:02. | |
This is the sixth year that Chris Lamb has | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
They've been donated by friends, family, even complete strangers. | :23:06. | :23:11. | |
I got a Chocolate Orange for one of the physios at Alder Hey, | :23:12. | :23:14. | |
As all the nurses can vouch for, they love Chocolate Oranges. | :23:15. | :23:20. | |
They were all asking where theirs work, | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
And the following year, I wanted to do something positive | :23:26. | :23:29. | |
for others who loved him to remember him in a positive way | :23:30. | :23:32. | |
Elliott was born with a rare disease and severe brain damage. | :23:33. | :23:36. | |
He died just before Christmas in 2010, aged four. | :23:37. | :23:39. | |
For much of his life, he was cared for here, | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
at Zoe's Place, a hospice for babies and young children. | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
It's about the people who take care of our loved ones. | :23:49. | :23:51. | |
The people who work 365 days a year, doing such an amazing job. | :23:52. | :23:58. | |
They're always there when we need them. | :23:59. | :24:00. | |
Today, staff could have as many Chocolate Oranges as they liked. | :24:01. | :24:04. | |
We actually nickname him the Chocolate Orange now, | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
It means a great deal to the staff, because it's just so nice | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
for the staff to have someone come in and say thank you. | :24:16. | :24:17. | |
Sometimes you come on shift and you get a box of chocolates | :24:18. | :24:20. | |
or something, but by the time the next shift comes on, | :24:21. | :24:23. | |
So it's nice to receive a gift that everybody gets some. | :24:24. | :24:27. | |
Chris has already taken hundreds of Chocolate Oranges to doctors | :24:28. | :24:30. | |
and nurses at Alder Hey and Whiston hospitals, | :24:31. | :24:33. | |
The idea has also taken off in other parts of the country. | :24:34. | :24:39. | |
Up in Newcastle, colleagues of collected for hospices up there. | :24:40. | :24:46. | |
Blackpool, Preston, Chorley, just incredible to think that it | :24:47. | :24:49. | |
started off with one Chocolate Orange. | :24:50. | :24:51. | |
Now Chris has given out more than 20,000, a small token | :24:52. | :24:54. | |
of appreciation in the memory of a very special little boy. | :24:55. | :25:07. | |
It's a lovely way to remember him. And thank the people who looked | :25:08. | :25:14. | |
after him. Antarctic, we met Chris at Alder Hey | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
last year, do you remember? A great guy. Now the weather. Snow for | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Christmas? I suggest you get your umbrellas for | :25:24. | :25:29. | |
Christmas. It's looking like it will be wet and windy for Christmas Day. | :25:30. | :25:35. | |
But I'll let Diane be that there are bad news tomorrow, I'll skip that! | :25:36. | :25:40. | |
It has been a cloudy afternoon, and it will continue to be fairly | :25:41. | :25:44. | |
unsettled. Outbreaks of rain and turning quite windy. The first band | :25:45. | :25:49. | |
of wind will push in from tomorrow night into Wednesday. Then showers | :25:50. | :25:54. | |
for Wednesday and Thursday, then the first big band of rain pushing in on | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
Friday, behind that, lots of isobars, so quite windy. Behind | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
that, another band of rain that Diana would tell you all about | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
tomorrow. Tonight then, cloudy night, light, drizzly rain | :26:09. | :26:16. | |
overnight. Patchy cloud as we head into dawn. Temperatures as low as | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
three degrees. Tomorrow we start cloudy, some fog into the afternoon. | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
We will see bright spells sneaking through, but also the chance of | :26:30. | :26:33. | |
showers. Wind picking up through the afternoon. A top temperatures of 9 | :26:34. | :26:44. | |
degrees. Just 6 degrees in Cheshire tomorrow. Tomorrow evening and | :26:45. | :26:49. | |
tomorrow night, that band of rain pushes in. The winds pick up, expect | :26:50. | :26:55. | |
gales or near-Gales tomorrow night. Temperatures not looking so bad. | :26:56. | :27:00. | |
Wednesday looks to be a cloudy day was showers. It is likely to be | :27:01. | :27:06. | |
quite windy as well. As we head into Thursday, we will see very similar | :27:07. | :27:11. | |
conditions, but then that band of rain pushes in on Friday. On Friday, | :27:12. | :27:16. | |
we'll see double figure Heck temperatures, but feel cool. Windy | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
conditions, expect rain, and temperatures in double figures. Do | :27:23. | :27:27. | |
you see how I skipped Christmas then? Diane is in the tomorrow, I'll | :27:28. | :27:32. | |
let her do her job! Someone wrote in and said they were | :27:33. | :27:37. | |
in New York for Christmas, all smelly on Christmas Day... | :27:38. | :27:42. | |
We wouldn't want it any other way, wet and windy gives us an excuse to | :27:43. | :27:46. | |
stay in! Keep your umbrellas handy! | :27:47. | :27:47. | |
See you There's family tradition of | :27:48. | :27:48. | |
difficult Christmases. Ben dropping | :27:49. | :27:51. | |
a frozen turkey on Mum's foot. Put me down! | :27:52. | :27:53. | |
No, we talked about this. Taser him! That is a video game, | :27:54. | :27:55. | |
isn't it? I'm going to need at least another | :27:56. | :27:58. | |
15 years to recover from children. This is all nonsense - it's highly | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
entertaining, nonetheless it's... I'm starting this new job, I'm | :28:04. | :28:28. | |
taking over a really tough school. Where is it? | :28:29. | :28:30. | |
You're not going down south...? Huddersfield? I know. That's like | :28:31. | :28:33. | |
the dark side of the moon. You do know that this house | :28:34. | :28:39. | |
is haunted? | :28:40. | :28:42. |
