Welcome to South East Today, I'm Rob Smith. And I'm Polly Evans. | :00:03. | :00:06. | |
Tonight's top stories. The 12-year-old forced to move away | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
from Sussex by online bullies. Now her father has started a charity to | :00:10. | :00:15. | |
combat the problem. It made me feel like death was the only way out, to | :00:15. | :00:18. | |
be honest. Tests reveal two young men who | :00:18. | :00:22. | |
drowned in Canterbury had taken a so-called legal high. | :00:22. | :00:25. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Clare's death wasn't in vain. The | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
mother of a Kent woman killed by her ex describes her relief on | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
winning her campaign to make stalking illegal. We're live in | :00:33. | :00:36. | |
Downing street with the details. The Buddhist monk who wants to buy | :00:36. | :00:42. | |
Brighton Pier and turn it into a global beacon of peace and love. | :00:42. | :00:45. | |
And providing a platform for the art of sheds, the Sussex man who | :00:45. | :00:55. | |
:00:55. | :01:01. | ||
Good evening. The abuse and harassment she received online and | :01:01. | :01:04. | |
in text messages was so extreme that 12-year-old Poppy Freeman | :01:04. | :01:09. | |
considered taking her own life. Even after moving hundreds of miles | :01:09. | :01:12. | |
from her home in Sussex to start a new life, the cyber-bullying has | :01:12. | :01:17. | |
continued. Now her father, Scott Freeman, is setting up a charity | :01:17. | :01:19. | |
from his home in Brighton and as Steve Gaisford reports, is | :01:19. | :01:22. | |
campaigning for a change in the law to ensure online bullies are | :01:22. | :01:30. | |
prosecuted. It made me feel like death was the | :01:31. | :01:38. | |
only way out, to be honest. I remember every single day, coming | :01:38. | :01:42. | |
home and just crying and crying and crying. I was actually quite scared | :01:43. | :01:46. | |
what was going to happen, I didn't know half the people who were | :01:46. | :01:49. | |
giving me death threats. chilling words from a young girl | :01:49. | :01:54. | |
who so nearly through her life away. At the time, Scott Freeman was | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
unaware of the cyber-bullies who were crushing her daughter -- his | :01:59. | :02:02. | |
daughter's confident and pushing her to commit suicide. The only way | :02:02. | :02:05. | |
to describe it was that in her words, she thought that death was | :02:05. | :02:11. | |
the only way out which is tragic for an 11 year-old to feel like. | :02:11. | :02:17. | |
She had 60 negative bits on that bit of feedback to one update on | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
her feet -- Facebook Page, it escalated with death threats, | :02:24. | :02:29. | |
people saying, why don't you kill yourself, we will do it for you. | :02:29. | :02:32. | |
Scott joined forces with a father whose son was secretly tormented | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
whilst playing online games. They have launched a charity offering | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
help and support to victims. They hope the Cybersmile Foundation will | :02:40. | :02:46. | |
be able to help children like Dan's oldest son who was getting bullied. | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
It was getting very bad and he was getting distressed, the site was | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
getting -- the site was very good and the same person had just picked | :02:54. | :02:59. | |
and even up out of thin air, created another profile for the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
sights and gone on at my son again. Whilst every effort is made to | :03:04. | :03:06. | |
alert parents and children to the dangers of cyber-bullying, there is | :03:06. | :03:14. | |
little that the authorities can do. The police cannot respond to every | :03:14. | :03:17. | |
type of brilliant, if they have got somewhere they can refer victims of | :03:17. | :03:26. | |
this type of crime to, so they can have advice so it does not hate | :03:26. | :03:30. | |
them so deeply, it is a good thing. Far better than restricting young | :03:30. | :03:35. | |
children from using the internet. Social media is growing, that is | :03:35. | :03:39. | |
the world they live in, so to exclude them from that would be, | :03:39. | :03:45. | |
well, the bullies would win. These two fathers would do all they can | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
to stop that happening. Two young men who drowned in a pond | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
in Canterbury had taken a so-called legal high and been drinking, | :03:51. | :03:56. | |
toxicology reports have revealed. The bodies of Hugo Wenn and Daniel | :03:56. | :04:00. | |
Lloyd were found two months ago. They'd taken a substance called | :04:00. | :04:09. | |
methoxetamine, also known as MXE. Our reporter Jon Hunt is live in | :04:09. | :04:18. | |
Canterbury. What can you tell us about this drug? Drug charities | :04:18. | :04:25. | |
described it as a designer drug. It is completely legal. And it is | :04:25. | :04:28. | |
advertised extensively on the internet. It came about in 2010, | :04:28. | :04:32. | |
and has been gaining in popularity ever since. Taking it can cause a | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
variety of symptoms from unconsciousness, muscle relaxing | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
symptoms, hallucinations and euphoria he -- euphoria, but | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
critically it can cause this association and to confusion. The | :04:47. | :04:51. | |
drug charity says mixing Methoxetamine with alcohol is very | :04:51. | :04:54. | |
serious and the Home Office has announced plans to try and ban the | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
drug. The local MP says this case just illustrates why there is so | :04:58. | :05:03. | |
much concern about so-called legal highs. There are lots of different | :05:03. | :05:08. | |
chemicals which will give a so- called legal high, and catching up | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
with them and classifying them takes time. What is needed is a | :05:11. | :05:18. | |
much faster procedure, so when one is identified, it can be banned. | :05:18. | :05:25. | |
What does this latest development mean for the police investigation? | :05:25. | :05:29. | |
Just after Hugo Wenn and Daniel Lloyd's bodies were discovered in | :05:29. | :05:33. | |
the pond in Canterbury in January, they arrested two men. One was | :05:33. | :05:38. | |
released without charge. The second man, a 28 year-old, was released on | :05:38. | :05:43. | |
police bail. He is due to answer bail next week. He was arrested on | :05:43. | :05:49. | |
suspicious of supplying controlled drugs. They say they are no longer | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
treating these deaths as suspicious, it will be up to an inquest to | :05:53. | :05:57. | |
decide how these two yuck -- two young men came to the tragic | :05:57. | :05:59. | |
circumstances. In a moment: | :05:59. | :06:02. | |
Shutting down with the loss of 100 jobs, why Kingsnorth Power Station | :06:02. | :06:12. | |
will stop generating next year. The mother of a young woman who was | :06:12. | :06:14. | |
stalked and then murdered by her ex-boyfriend has won her campaign | :06:14. | :06:19. | |
for a new law to make stalking a criminal offence. After meeting the | :06:19. | :06:21. | |
Prime Minister today, Tricia Bernal, from Tunbridge Wells, said his | :06:21. | :06:23. | |
decision to announce new legislation meant Clare Bernal's | :06:23. | :06:29. | |
death was not in vain. In a moment we'll speak to her live here in the | :06:29. | :06:33. | |
studio. But first Simon Jones joins us live from Downing Street. And | :06:33. | :06:40. | |
Simon, campaigners say it's been a historic day. Victims of stalking | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
and bereaved families came to Downing Street today to hear the | :06:44. | :06:49. | |
Prime Minister described stalking as abhorrent. Last year, there were | :06:49. | :06:52. | |
120,000 victims of stalking, but just 20 stalkers were jailed for | :06:52. | :06:56. | |
more than a year. At the moment, the police have to wait for a | :06:56. | :07:02. | |
suspect to commit another offence such as harassment to take action, | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
but now stalking is set to become a crime in its own right. | :07:06. | :07:11. | |
Today in Downing Street, the culmination of a mother's six-year | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
campaign fought stalking to be taken more seriously. Clare is | :07:15. | :07:19. | |
always with me. And I know that she gives me the strength to continue | :07:19. | :07:26. | |
my work, and I know it was the right thing to do. I feel in a lot | :07:26. | :07:31. | |
of ways that Clare's life has not be lost in vain. As I said, there | :07:31. | :07:37. | |
is still a lot of work to be down. A lot of training. But we are | :07:37. | :07:43. | |
making huge progress and today will go down in history for all of us. | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
This is where Clare Bernal was killed. Her stalker, Michael Pech, | :07:47. | :07:52. | |
had admitted harassing her in August 2005 but was released on | :07:52. | :07:56. | |
bail. That September, he shot her dead before turning the gun on | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
himself. In July 2008, Clare's mother launched a charity to help | :08:01. | :08:05. | |
combat stalking. I don't think we have done enough, listening today | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
to some of the victims of stalking, and to brave women who have lost | :08:09. | :08:13. | |
their daughters to stalkers, come here to Number Ten to talk about it | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
with real passion, who say they want better police training, they | :08:17. | :08:19. | |
want the courts and victim Support to do better and they bought a | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
separate offence so we were really get to grips with what is a serious | :08:23. | :08:26. | |
crime. I don't think we were getting -- we have done enough in | :08:26. | :08:30. | |
the past about want to do better. Powerful testimony for those who | :08:30. | :08:35. | |
know. It destroys your life. I have had to move five times, I became so | :08:35. | :08:40. | |
unwell and was miscarried, I had depression and post-traumatic | :08:40. | :08:45. | |
stress disorder. I am not a weak person but when you are under | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
attack, and that is what stalking is, you are being terrorised by | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
someone and you are made to feel fear for day and night, looking | :08:53. | :08:56. | |
over your shoulder. It is draining and exhausting and a terrible way | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
to live your life. Clare Bernal's mother said her only fault was to | :09:01. | :09:05. | |
see the good in of the body. Campaigners say this is a grade A, | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
-- a great day, but they admit it is only the start and mourn these | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
to be do. There have commenced the PM to take stalking more City, now | :09:14. | :09:21. | |
they need to convince the courts and police to do the same -- to | :09:21. | :09:25. | |
take stalking more seriously. Do you think that if this law had | :09:25. | :09:31. | |
been in place, that Clare's death could have been prevented? | :09:31. | :09:38. | |
Certainly, things were so different then. Where the West Dart? Nobody | :09:38. | :09:45. | |
understood, the police did not, -- where do I start? Right way through | :09:45. | :09:52. | |
the system, no one understood the seriousness of it. Clare thought | :09:52. | :09:56. | |
she was going to the professionals, but the reality was they did not | :09:56. | :10:00. | |
understand stalking. Do you think they understand it more now? The | :10:00. | :10:03. | |
problem seems to be there are laws that can deal with harassment, but | :10:03. | :10:08. | |
people were not taking it seriously enough. Do you feel that has | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
changed? Absolutely. Because this potentially lead meet -- new | :10:13. | :10:18. | |
stalking law will stand alone, stalking is such an individual | :10:18. | :10:25. | |
issue, it is many, many incidents together. They together become | :10:26. | :10:31. | |
something which is really something very sinister. So it needs | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
specialism. Absolutely, and all agencies will now have procedures | :10:37. | :10:45. | |
in place, they will insure that... I am so overwhelmed by today, I | :10:45. | :10:49. | |
cannot tell you, I am still on cloud nine, it has been wonderful | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
to hear the Prime Minister say what he said. He totally understood the | :10:54. | :10:59. | |
problems of stalking. Now everything else will follow. It is | :10:59. | :11:03. | |
very important that we have certain things in place. It is important we | :11:03. | :11:10. | |
have treatment for offenders, we need advocacy for victims. Also | :11:11. | :11:14. | |
greater awareness and training. That is what we are looking for. | :11:14. | :11:19. | |
Thank you so much for coming in. A workman is in a critical | :11:19. | :11:22. | |
condition after suffering a severe electric shock in Hove. The man, | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
who's in his 30s, has been taken to the Royal Sussex County Hospital in | :11:25. | :11:29. | |
Brighton, after receiving the shock from an underground cable. | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
A mother and daughter from Canterbury have gone on trial at | :11:32. | :11:35. | |
the Old Bailey accused of murder. Don Banfield disappeared in 2001 | :11:35. | :11:39. | |
and his body's never been found. His wife Shirley and daughter | :11:39. | :11:41. | |
Lynette have admitted fraud, forgery and conspiracy to pervert | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
the course of justice after continuing to claim his pension, | :11:44. | :11:51. | |
but they deny killing him. Manston Airport in Kent has been | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
put up for sale by its owner, Infratil. Managers recently applied | :11:55. | :11:57. | |
for permission for extra night flights and hope to benefit from | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
increased air traffic generated by the Olympic games. They say | :12:01. | :12:09. | |
business will continue as usual while plans for the sale proceed. | :12:09. | :12:13. | |
A variety of people will be interested in assets such as ours. | :12:13. | :12:19. | |
But airport capacity being under great pressure as we return to | :12:19. | :12:23. | |
economic growth, particularly in South East, we see the argument | :12:23. | :12:27. | |
about Boris Ireland every day, we are part of the solution to that | :12:27. | :12:30. | |
and that is what we are looking for people to invest in. | :12:30. | :12:33. | |
Kingsnorth Power Station is to close in a year's time, with the | :12:33. | :12:35. | |
loss of more than 120 jobs. The coal-powered plant near Rochester | :12:35. | :12:38. | |
was built in the 1970s and the electricity company E.on had hoped | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
to replace it. But their plans have now been scrapped, as our | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
environment correspondent Yvette Austin reports. | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
It has dominated this guy on the who peninsula since the 1960s. A | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
reliable supply of power feeding the National Grid but it burns also | :12:56. | :13:01. | |
feels, and emissions levels do not meet modern standards. -- it burnt | :13:01. | :13:08. | |
fossil fuels. Back in 2008, it was given an allocation of hours to run. | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
By next year, we will have used up the hours so we are have to her | :13:12. | :13:21. | |
seat -- cease power generation. Dion -- E.on announced plans in | :13:21. | :13:25. | |
2062 build a new plant but it was met with controversy. In 2007, | :13:25. | :13:30. | |
Greenpeace occupied the existing station. In 2008, hundreds of | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
people camped near the site in protest. They were conversations | :13:34. | :13:40. | |
with police. And in 2009, activists boarded a ship delivering coal to | :13:40. | :13:44. | |
Kingsnorth. The plans for a king's law two were abandoned later that | :13:44. | :13:51. | |
year, though -- a Kingsnorth two were abandoned, broke E.on said it | :13:51. | :13:58. | |
was down to economic conditions rather than protest. I would not | :13:58. | :14:02. | |
mind moving into an IT role in the power station, but the | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
opportunities are not there for everyone so there is nothing we can | :14:05. | :14:09. | |
do. A number of villagers work in the power station, and some people | :14:09. | :14:14. | |
from the power station go in at lunchtime, and that will have an | :14:14. | :14:20. | |
effect. In 12 months' time, the turbines. Turning. And this great | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
electricity machine which has helped keep our light on for more | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
than three decades which find -- will finally switch off. The money | :14:27. | :14:32. | |
locally, it will be the end of an era. -- for many locally. | :14:32. | :14:36. | |
Our top story tonight. A father from Brighton is campaigning for a | :14:36. | :14:40. | |
change in the law to ensure online bullies are prosecuted. Scott | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
Freeman's also setting up a charity after so-called cyber-bullying led | :14:42. | :14:48. | |
his 12-year-old daughter Poppy to consider suicide. | :14:48. | :14:52. | |
Also in tonight's programme: Mind the gap, stand clear of the | :14:52. | :14:55. | |
doors, we meet the man who wants you to shed your preconceptions | :14:55. | :15:02. | |
about his hobby. And join me as Brighton Pier | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
continues its search for a new owner, but could that be a Tibetan | :15:06. | :15:15. | |

Former steel workers who lost their jobs when their company went into | :15:16. | :15:18. | |
administration travelled from Kent to Westminster today to ask MPs to | :15:18. | :15:22. | |
do more to help them. More than 350 people at the Thamesteel plant in | :15:22. | :15:27. | |
Sheerness were made redundant in January. They say it's hard to find | :15:27. | :15:29. | |
new jobs in the current economic climate, as our business | :15:29. | :15:39. | |
:15:39. | :15:40. | ||
correspondent Mark Norman reports. They met outside there for more | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
workplace to travel to London. Now claiming benefits, the last few | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
weeks have been tough for all of them. Today they wanted to push MPs | :15:48. | :15:54. | |
to do more to help and find a new owner for Obama. We are hoping the | :15:54. | :16:01. | |
MPs -- a new owner for Thamesteel. We are hoping the MPs will get us | :16:01. | :16:06. | |
back running again. There is a need for jobs on the island, there is no | :16:06. | :16:11. | |
industry or jobs that. If we can keep the pressure on, and tried to | :16:12. | :16:16. | |
get to prospective buyers and tell us how good we are as a work force. | :16:16. | :16:21. | |
That is what we are going to be all about. The plant was closed by its | :16:21. | :16:26. | |
sadly owners in January. Without jobs and salaries, some former | :16:26. | :16:31. | |
workers have had to accept charity food baskets to survive. Local | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
politicians set up a taskforce to try and find a buyer but most of | :16:35. | :16:38. | |
the interest has been from asset strippers. Two hours later, they | :16:39. | :16:45. | |
emerge happy with what has been said. Everything they said, let's | :16:45. | :16:50. | |
just hope they get in there and do it for the workers and the families | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
on the Isle of Sheppey. The local MP reiterate his concern. | :16:55. | :17:02. | |
existing owners, of course, need to get a return on the money, and | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
unless any bid is a high enough, they could be tempted to close it | :17:06. | :17:11. | |
down, it strip it back and ship the plant overseas. That is what we | :17:11. | :17:16. | |
have got to try and persuade them not to do. There is optimism. The | :17:16. | :17:19. | |
administrators have extended the closing date for a sale until 16th | :17:19. | :17:23. | |
March, but no one is kidding themselves. Finding a buyer for | :17:23. | :17:33. | |

Remember the good old days, when you pulled up to a petrol station | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
and an attendant filled the tank for you? Well, Deenah Wheeler's | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
been keeping the tradition alive. She's worked as a petrol pump | :17:44. | :17:47. | |
attendant at Bidborough Service station near Tunbridge Wells for | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
the past 36 years. But tomorrow she's finally hanging up her nozzle. | :17:51. | :18:01. | |
For the latest in our My Photo series, this is Deenah's story. | :18:01. | :18:08. | |
much would you like? Fill it up, please. I started in 1960 -- 1910 | :18:08. | :18:14. | |
d5. It used to be just petrol, but there were different types, to star, | :18:14. | :18:20. | |
three-star, four-star and five-star. No diesel. The price then was | :18:20. | :18:30. | |
:18:30. | :18:30. | ||
probably about 36 pence per gallon. We had a horse in, the person was | :18:30. | :18:37. | |
actually coming to buy something but they had come in on their horse. | :18:37. | :18:44. | |
So I stood there and held this big creature! �20 of unleaded? Yes | :18:44. | :18:48. | |
please. We have lived in the village what it is six years and | :18:48. | :18:52. | |
she has always been here. It is like having a mother here. | :18:52. | :18:58. | |
Everything she does, I don't have to do anything! Today is my last | :18:58. | :19:03. | |
day. Just being able to do something useful and help people, | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
it is just in adorable. -- it is just enjoyable. | :19:09. | :19:12. | |

For the past nine months, Brighton Pier has been up for sale and now a | :19:30. | :19:33. | |
most unlikely buyer has stepped forward. A Buddhist monk says he | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
hopes to raise the money to buy the famous landmark, and turn it into a | :19:36. | :19:39. | |
centre of worldwide hope and love. He's arranged an auction of artwork | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
this weekend to start raising funds and says the works are valued at | :19:43. | :19:52. | |
about �500,000. John Young joins us from Brighton Pier. This sounds | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
extraordinary! It does, quite extraordinary, but in those nine | :19:56. | :19:59. | |
months, many businesses have come forward from at home and abroad, | :19:59. | :20:04. | |
the owner tell us. But no one saw this coming. A Tibetan monk has put | :20:04. | :20:08. | |
his name forward and I met him this afternoon. | :20:08. | :20:13. | |
It is a symbol of Brighton at it brashest. He is an London-born | :20:13. | :20:17. | |
Tibetan monk who wants to see a gentler peer, pulling in the crowd | :20:17. | :20:23. | |
of more homespun attractions, any culture -- Mork culture, any profit | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
going to the city's bore. I truly believe that Britain and Hove have | :20:28. | :20:38. | |
a whole new future, are joining us, because its peer is happy, smiling, | :20:38. | :20:43. | |
welcoming. And you can help do that? Absolutely said. I am | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
determined. And here is how he plans to start. Kelsang Pawo has | :20:50. | :20:55. | |
got together with an art action near with contacts, and she has | :20:55. | :21:00. | |
come up with things like a signed photograph of the model Kate Moss. | :21:00. | :21:05. | |
A signed painting from Gilbert and George. A raw but -- royal portrait | :21:05. | :21:15. | |
:21:15. | :21:15. | ||
artist Barbara Hamilton has provide works. It is good to use art to | :21:15. | :21:21. | |
help reborn art. The artists can help and rebuild the art. There is | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
plenty of it, but the price tag on the peer is thought to be to and �5 | :21:26. | :21:33. | |
million, at least. What you say to a -- �25 million. What do you say | :21:33. | :21:39. | |
to people who say this can't be real? I remember the same of Gandhi, | :21:40. | :21:45. | |
first people laugh, then they ridicule you, then you win. They | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
are looking forward to the auction pulled. What is meant to be, they | :21:48. | :21:54. | |
say, will be. The auction is on Saturday on the | :21:54. | :22:00. | |
Grand Hotel, which is operate the West Pier, the derelict one. The | :22:00. | :22:03. | |
people who run that have had a frosty relationship with the other | :22:03. | :22:12. | |
peer, but they now say debt they wish Kelsang Pawo much-loved! | :22:12. | :22:15. | |
In football, Brighton and Hove Albion left it late once again but | :22:15. | :22:18. | |
they remain the only unbeaten side in the English leagues this year. A | :22:18. | :22:21. | |
last-minute equaliser kept intact the Seagulls' run of 11 games | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
undefeated in 2012. And as Neil Bell reports, it leaves them | :22:24. | :22:30. | |
tantalisingly close to the Championship play-off places. | :22:30. | :22:35. | |
Britain's record in their first season is pretty impressive, it is | :22:35. | :22:38. | |
three months since they last lost at home. It was the visitors | :22:39. | :22:44. | |
Cardiff who went ahead early in the second half. Jem Mason calmly | :22:44. | :22:52. | |
finished from close range. -- Joan Mason. Craig Noone almost joined | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
Cardiff and Ashley Barnes prodded home his 12th goal of the season. | :22:57. | :23:03. | |
90 seconds later, the Albion were behind once more thanks to this | :23:03. | :23:06. | |
magnificent strike from Peter Vincenti and, surely one of the | :23:07. | :23:16. | |
:23:17. | :23:17. | ||
best goals seen here so far from stop in the 89's minute, an | :23:17. | :23:25. | |
equaliser, and Gus Poyet is proud of the progress from the club. | :23:25. | :23:31. | |
I thought two years ago, when I got the job, we would be playing | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
Cardiff and there would be 11 players behind the halfway line. If | :23:35. | :23:38. | |
you asked me when I was bottom half of League One if this was going to | :23:38. | :23:45. | |
happen, I would say, you need some mental treatment! Now it is only | :23:45. | :23:48. | |
goal difference that separates the Albion from the promotion play-off | :23:48. | :23:51. | |
places. Exciting times! | :23:51. | :23:55. | |
Men and sheds, we know how well they go together. But I think it's | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
fair to say there are few men who've shown the same sort of | :23:58. | :24:01. | |
devotion to their sheds as John Gardner, from East Sussex. Not | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
satisfied with a humble wooden box, the rail enthusiast has lovingly | :24:04. | :24:07. | |
converted his into a miniature railway station in his garden in | :24:07. | :24:11. | |
Bexhill. Ellie Price has been to meet him and his long-suffering | :24:11. | :24:17. | |
wife. Every now and then, John Gardiner | :24:17. | :24:22. | |
needs a little time on his own. Time in his special place. Time in | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
his shed. Not that one, this one. He built it from scratch a year ago | :24:28. | :24:35. | |
with two friends, to reflect his true passion, trains. Hello, John, | :24:35. | :24:41. | |
can I come aboard? Of course you can! Welcome to my shed. What have | :24:41. | :24:47. | |
we got? I have built a bench in here. Buy books are under there, -- | :24:47. | :24:54. | |
my box under their turned into her bed. We have got ATV, DVD player | :24:54. | :24:59. | |
for my DVD railway paraphernalia. I have also got, I am in a process of | :24:59. | :25:04. | |
building a railway all the way round. He is so proud of it, he has | :25:04. | :25:07. | |
entered it into the competition to win shed of the year. Like all | :25:07. | :25:12. | |
little boys, you go in a full circle, when you get to 60 you go | :25:12. | :25:16. | |
back to your youth. This is what I have always wanted to do. Have a | :25:16. | :25:20. | |
hobby, be involved in train somewhere, and this is a permanent | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
feature of that. The shed took six weekends to build, during which | :25:24. | :25:28. | |
time John's wife thought he had gone off the week -- gone off the | :25:28. | :25:33. | |
rails. But she is happy now. I can join him if I want to, but if I | :25:33. | :25:39. | |
want peace and quiet, I live in their! The perfect outbuilding | :25:39. | :25:42. | |
outcome for John and his wife. In case you're worried about her, she | :25:42. | :25:50. | |
has got her own place, her very own garden. | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
He is building a railway all the way around! | :25:53. | :26:02. | |
The rain from earlier in the week feels like a distant memory. Today | :26:02. | :26:05. | |
was settled, bright and mild, and as bigotry tonight it will be | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
staying dry. Plenty of cloud around so we start the day with more cloud | :26:10. | :26:14. | |
than today, increasingly dull by the time of year -- increasingly | :26:14. | :26:20. | |
dull by the afternoon but mild for the time of year. The winds have | :26:20. | :26:23. | |
eased off, now from a north- westerly direction. Temperatures | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
not bad in the hazy brightness. Initially as we move into tonight, | :26:29. | :26:33. | |
we hold on to the clearer skies and the cloud cover thickens from the | :26:33. | :26:37. | |
West by dawn. Temperatures dropping to lows of five or six degrees, | :26:37. | :26:43. | |
several degrees up on last night. A cloudy and mild start, tomorrow, | :26:43. | :26:48. | |
high pressure dominating. The winds going south-westerly and they are | :26:48. | :26:54. | |
staying with us. Mostly dry, best of brightness through the morning, | :26:55. | :26:57. | |
increasingly dealt through the afternoon. As temperatures still | :26:57. | :27:05. | |
mild in double figures. Tomorrow night, plenty of cloud cover and | :27:05. | :27:09. | |
what will be noticeable are the temperatures. Only dropping to lows | :27:09. | :27:16. | |
of nine ordered -- 89 degrees. On the weekend, -- eight or nine | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
degrees. On the weekend, feeling mild, unsettled picture. | :27:20. | :27:24. |
