:00:13. > :00:17.You're watching South Today. Repairs begin after 1,000 homes are

:00:17. > :00:21.left without water after a burst water main in Sussex. Gushing down.

:00:21. > :00:26.I went round the corner and it was pouring into the close just

:00:26. > :00:30.opposite. The family grieving for a life the Maxi could have been saved.

:00:30. > :00:35.Preying on the vulnerable. Shocking figures show that people with

:00:35. > :00:42.dementia are being swindled out of millions. I said to him, let me get

:00:42. > :00:48.this right, you sold your car that was worth �3,000 to a man for �100,

:00:48. > :00:58.and he said yes. And bouncing her way into a world title. We meet the

:00:58. > :01:02.

:01:02. > :01:12.The clean-up operation in Horsham continues after a water main burst

:01:12. > :01:12.

:01:12. > :01:15.last night. Southern water says the leak at Leechpool Lane is now under

:01:16. > :01:17.control but the incident left 1,000 homes without water and flooded

:01:17. > :01:23.gardens and outbuildings. It's caused widespread disruption in the

:01:23. > :01:27.area. Danielle Glavin is live in Horsham tonight. The damage are

:01:27. > :01:31.still very clear to see. There is a big crater and the ground. Southern

:01:31. > :01:37.Water has to replace a six metre section of pipe. They have been

:01:37. > :01:41.working on this throughout the day and will be back tomorrow, as well.

:01:41. > :01:47.1,000 homes were left without water, although it was restored at 2pm

:01:47. > :01:53.this afternoon. People are clearing up, after homes, gardens and

:01:53. > :01:57.carriages were flooded. It is going to take a good few days that -- to

:01:57. > :02:04.fix this crater that opened up at 9:30pm last night. Last night,

:02:04. > :02:08.Leechpool Lane was more like a river. The pipe burst and the

:02:08. > :02:13.pressure caused the road to collapse. It was gushing down the

:02:13. > :02:15.road. I went down the road and round the corner and it was pouring

:02:15. > :02:19.into the close just opposite. Torrents of water coming down the

:02:19. > :02:29.road. It was being pumped down the lane past her house, which was

:02:29. > :02:30.

:02:30. > :02:34.fortunate, and I make tea for the work men! Joan Lucas looks at the

:02:34. > :02:39.bottom of the hill. Her garage and garden flooded. And the water came

:02:39. > :02:44.up to her doorstep. To see all this water coming down into the garden,

:02:44. > :02:50.realising that as it was on the other way, it was just stuck in the

:02:50. > :02:54.garden and was coming back up, not quite into the bungalow, but then

:02:54. > :02:58.we realised that the water was going through the garage, so why

:02:58. > :03:04.open the back door of the garage, so we ended up like a little

:03:04. > :03:08.island! It was less since at usual at a nearby school, but they took

:03:08. > :03:12.care to get pupils inside safely. We wondered if we would be able to

:03:12. > :03:15.be open, whether we would have access, whether there would be

:03:15. > :03:19.water, and do what report have worked efficiently through the

:03:19. > :03:24.night and kept me informed and early this morning, and the were

:03:24. > :03:28.told we would definitely have water. Questions have been asked about the

:03:28. > :03:32.response times of Southern Water. It took five hours to turn the

:03:32. > :03:38.water off. The size of the whole, the length of pipe that we have had

:03:38. > :03:44.to repair, about six metres, our crews have worked through the night,

:03:44. > :03:48.so we have expedited repairs as soon as possible. In 43 days to

:03:48. > :03:58.repair the pipe and returned as road to normal. -- et al take three

:03:58. > :04:02.

:04:02. > :04:07.days. -- it will take three days. And some other flowing -- flooding

:04:07. > :04:11.possible in Sussex tomorrow? Yes, coastal areas, Chichester District

:04:11. > :04:16.Council is warning people in Selsey to have sandbags at the ready in

:04:16. > :04:20.case floodwaters come their way. If they do not have any, the match to

:04:20. > :04:27.get in touch with the council to get some. And in Brighton and Hove,

:04:27. > :04:29.the council is on standby in case the floodwaters affect their so

:04:29. > :04:35.that they can offer alternative accommodation. People are being

:04:35. > :04:45.born to be on their guard. weather forecast coming up later in

:04:45. > :04:51.

:04:51. > :04:54.the programme. -- people are being warned. The family of Leanne

:04:54. > :04:56.Turnbull is calling for more help for people with mental health

:04:56. > :04:59.conditions after their sister's recent death. Leanne's body was

:04:59. > :05:02.found in the countryside near Alton almost a month after she went

:05:02. > :05:05.missing. At her inquest today the coroner heard how she'd suffered

:05:05. > :05:07.from depression and had attempted to take her own life two months

:05:07. > :05:10.previously. Roisin Gauson reports. For a 24-year-old Leanne Turnbull

:05:10. > :05:12.went missing on SEP- 14. Her body was found one month later, on

:05:12. > :05:14.farmland near Alton. Today, the North Hampshire coroner was unable

:05:15. > :05:19.to pinpoint the exact cause of death. Leanne Turnbull had

:05:19. > :05:23.attempted to take her own life using insulin describe for her boy

:05:23. > :05:26.friend's son to stop when she went missing on 14 SEP-, her boyfriend

:05:26. > :05:33.noticed that five or vials of insulin had also gone missing. When

:05:33. > :05:37.her body was found, her rucksack was near by. It contained four

:05:37. > :05:41.empty insulin containers. The coroner said he was almost certain

:05:41. > :05:45.she had taken them herself and had died at the scene, but he had to be

:05:45. > :05:50.sure beyond doubt that she did it and she intended to die. That

:05:50. > :05:57.intention, he said, was not clear. He said it is likely but I cannot

:05:57. > :06:00.be sure. Can I ask you to take one of these? Family members carried

:06:00. > :06:05.out an extensive campaign searching for Leanne Turnbull, in the weeks

:06:05. > :06:08.following her disappearance. Today they were in court to hear from her

:06:08. > :06:14.professionals, the police, and those who have contact with her,

:06:14. > :06:18.last. I feel that that situation with my sister may have been

:06:18. > :06:23.prevented if there had been someone in the community she could confide

:06:23. > :06:33.Moutside of her family and domestic arrangements. The coroner expressed

:06:33. > :06:37.sympathy to the family and recorded an open verdict. Unemployment is

:06:37. > :06:40.now at its highest level for 17 years. Here in the South the

:06:40. > :06:45.picture isn't as gloomy as elsewhere in the country, but still

:06:45. > :06:49.the number of people out of work is rising. In the South East, the

:06:49. > :06:58.figure is up by 16,000 to 272,000 unemployed. In the South West, the

:06:58. > :07:01.figure is up by 2,000 to 177,000 unemployed. We've been to one part

:07:01. > :07:05.of the South which is particularly badly affected - the Isle of Wight.

:07:05. > :07:13.Youth unemployment here is rising faster than anywhere in the region.

:07:13. > :07:23.Chrissy Sturt has been to meet some of the island's young job seekers.

:07:23. > :07:24.

:07:24. > :07:29.Meet the NEETs. I am Peter, I am 24. This is a government label that

:07:29. > :07:32.these young people have never even heard of, it stands for not in

:07:32. > :07:37.education, employment or training. The lack of jobs makes them even

:07:37. > :07:42.harder to help. This particular group has an added problem. Family

:07:42. > :07:45.difficulties mean they cannot live at home. Step in a charity that

:07:46. > :07:49.gives youngsters on the Isle of Wight a place to live and,

:07:49. > :07:55.crucially, tries to gear them up for a life of work rather than

:07:55. > :08:01.benefits. But it is not easy. You are trying to do this in the middle

:08:01. > :08:04.of an economic downturn. Yes, the worst one ever for young people.

:08:04. > :08:09.Most of the time you are sitting around doing nothing and it is

:08:09. > :08:16.soul-destroying. Mainly cleaning jobs, really. There is nothing open

:08:16. > :08:21.to young people at all. This is not a vague do-gooder approach. It is

:08:21. > :08:26.highly targeted at specific. Help with CBEs, covering letters and

:08:26. > :08:30.application forms, combined with volunteering and work experience,

:08:30. > :08:34.it is making these young people employable for the first time. Do

:08:34. > :08:43.you want the job? I want the job, yes, because I want to be able to

:08:43. > :08:47.do well for myself and our own living. -- and earned a living. And

:08:47. > :08:51.just, in general, try to do something with myself. The job

:08:51. > :08:55.opportunities here are limited for young people so that is why we are

:08:55. > :09:00.focused on this tour on to work project, looking at building

:09:00. > :09:04.communication skills. That is where I was staying, right in year.

:09:04. > :09:12.time last year it was different for Peter, who was living rough in

:09:12. > :09:17.Newport. His sleeping bag is still where he left it. Now, after living

:09:17. > :09:21.with a friend for a year, he has got hope, with football coaching

:09:21. > :09:27.qualifications and a decent looking CBE. My future looks bright. It is

:09:28. > :09:32.looking very good at the moment. In the space of six months it has been

:09:32. > :09:40.very different. But I have had a lot of support. I want to give

:09:40. > :09:46.something back to the community. what hope is there for those

:09:46. > :09:49.searching for jobs in such difficult economic times? Earlier,

:09:49. > :09:56.I spoke to Michael Moran, who's a job coach, about how people

:09:56. > :10:00.applying for jobs can stand out from the crowd. We have got lots of

:10:00. > :10:04.people chasing very few jobs. But employers tell me that finding good

:10:04. > :10:10.people is exceptionally difficult. So, you do have to stand out from

:10:10. > :10:14.the crowd. Certainly, the way you get introduced to an employer is

:10:14. > :10:24.critical. Sending out several CDs without any connection with the

:10:24. > :10:25.

:10:25. > :10:29.company is wasting your time. -- CVs. What is the advice for people

:10:30. > :10:33.sending out hundreds of applications and getting nowhere?

:10:33. > :10:38.You have got to change the way you are making job applications. Most

:10:38. > :10:43.people get jobs through the result of a networking introduction. It is

:10:43. > :10:48.very important you find out who is the person with the power to hire

:10:48. > :10:52.you, and find a networking connection, who can introduce you.

:10:52. > :10:58.This method applies whether you want a job at Tesco, if you know

:10:58. > :11:01.somebody working their reward take your CD to the HR department, as it

:11:02. > :11:06.will for a bit -- for a senior executive job in the City. And the

:11:06. > :11:10.importance of using social media sites and the Internet is more

:11:10. > :11:20.important than it was a few years ago. It is critical. With things

:11:20. > :11:22.

:11:22. > :11:26.like Facebook and LinkedIn you should be able to identify someone

:11:26. > :11:32.in the organisation that you have some connection with. How important

:11:32. > :11:38.is it that, in the market place, people are pretty despondent.

:11:38. > :11:41.Ford said, whatever you think, you are probably right. So, if you went

:11:41. > :11:45.to the interview thinking I will be lucky to get this job, then you

:11:45. > :11:49.will be lucky to get that job. Self-confidence is critical. That

:11:49. > :11:54.is difficult when you have applied for loss of jobs. But the more you

:11:54. > :11:58.practise, the luckier you get. If you hone your technique, you are

:11:58. > :12:08.well prepared as a candidate and have positive psychology, self-

:12:08. > :12:13.

:12:13. > :12:16.belief and confidence, you will and that job. Still to come in this

:12:16. > :12:19.evening's South Today, a warning of more lively weather to come this

:12:19. > :12:28.week. Here's Reham Khan. From rain to snow, I will be back with the

:12:28. > :12:31.weather information later in the Police are investigating after two

:12:31. > :12:34.security guards were robbed outside a building society in Fareham last

:12:34. > :12:37.night. Officers were called to Nationwide on West Street shortly

:12:37. > :12:40.after 11:30pm. Detectives won't say how much money was stolen or if the

:12:40. > :12:43.men were armed. They are keeping an open mind about whether last

:12:43. > :12:45.night's incident is linked to a similar robbery in Chandler's Ford

:12:45. > :12:48.last month. They'd been camped out for more

:12:48. > :12:50.than a month, but today the Occupy Brighton site was cleared. The

:12:50. > :12:53.tents in the city's Victoria Gardens were blown down in the

:12:53. > :12:56.recent storms. Some demonstrators said they'd wanted to clean up

:12:56. > :12:59.themselves, but staff from Brighton and Hove City Council did the job

:12:59. > :13:03.this morning. Tonight, the leader of the council said if another camp

:13:03. > :13:06.was set up in the city, it would seek to move it on. Mark Sanders

:13:06. > :13:09.reports. The remnants of the camp were

:13:09. > :13:13.cleared quickly. Those tents still standing and other debris were

:13:13. > :13:17.dealt with by council workers. Protestors had been here in the

:13:17. > :13:21.heart of Brighton since October, but time ran out for the camp.

:13:21. > :13:24.Storms did their damage and there was a fire last night. A

:13:24. > :13:34.firefighter was actually pushed to the ground while trying to deal

:13:34. > :13:43.

:13:43. > :13:48.with the blaze. The weather destroyed the infrastructure of the

:13:48. > :13:50.camp. It became unmanageable. camp had grown to about thirty

:13:50. > :13:53.tents. The Green MP for Brighton Pavilion, Caroline Lucas, visited

:13:53. > :13:58.the site and spoke to protestors. But the two neighbouring

:13:58. > :14:02.Conservative MPs condemned the occupation of Victoria Gardens. The

:14:02. > :14:06.Green run city council had resisted calls for the police to move on the

:14:06. > :14:09.camp. But now, because of the fire and the assault on a firefighter,

:14:09. > :14:12.the green council leader says if another camp is set up on council-

:14:12. > :14:22.owned land, the local authority would immediately seek possession

:14:22. > :14:22.

:14:22. > :14:25.of the site. It's believed people with dementia

:14:25. > :14:28.in the south are being cheated out of millions of pounds because of

:14:28. > :14:30.what the Alzheimer's Society describes as financial abuse. The

:14:30. > :14:36.charity says those affected by dementia are vulnerable to cold

:14:36. > :14:43.callers and scam mail. Their research suggests 15% of people

:14:43. > :14:46.with the condition are victims. On average, each person loses �850.

:14:46. > :14:56.For example in Hampshire, where there are just under 18,000 people

:14:56. > :14:58.

:14:58. > :15:01.with dementia, it's estimated more than �2 million has been lost.

:15:01. > :15:04.Anita Avery never talked very much about money with her parents. When

:15:04. > :15:06.first her father and then her mother was diagnosed with dementia,

:15:06. > :15:16.she realised too late how financially vulnerable they'd

:15:16. > :15:21.become. I went to the garage to check on my father's car. The car

:15:21. > :15:27.was gone. I went to the house and the keys were gone. I asked him

:15:27. > :15:31.where the car was and he said, I sold it to some bloke for �100. I

:15:31. > :15:34.was shocked because the car was worth around �4,000. Anita's mother

:15:34. > :15:38.was a member of a legitimate mail order book club, but as her

:15:38. > :15:41.condition worsened she lost all track of what she was spending.

:15:41. > :15:48.had been buying everything that came through the door and over a

:15:48. > :15:50.period of time had probably spent just over �15,000. Alzheimer's

:15:50. > :15:53.Society research suggests many people with dementia have trouble

:15:53. > :15:59.managing their money, dealing with banks and picking up on the warning

:15:59. > :16:03.signs of fraud. It's calling for extra support to be put in place.

:16:03. > :16:06.We would like to see all banks committing it to the training of

:16:06. > :16:11.their staff within branches and call centres so that they can spot

:16:11. > :16:15.the signs of dementia and also so that they understand that families

:16:15. > :16:18.often have legal rights to make decisions for people. Anita wishes

:16:18. > :16:20.she had opened her eyes sooner to her parents' financial situation.

:16:20. > :16:27.Now they've died, she's keen to encourage other families to look

:16:27. > :16:31.for signs of vulnerability. Talk to your nearest and dearest and think

:16:31. > :16:35.about things like lasting power of attorney. Be prepared in case the

:16:35. > :16:37.worst ever does happen. Anita Avery ending that report by

:16:37. > :16:39.Briony Leyland. Residents of Turbary Park Avenue in

:16:39. > :16:42.Bournemouth say their road is a catastrophe waiting to happen.

:16:42. > :16:44.Today, members of the Act Community Residents Association presented a

:16:44. > :16:48.four hundred signature petition to Bournemouth Borough Council asking

:16:48. > :16:58.for pedestrianised crossings along the road. They say that children

:16:58. > :17:02.

:17:02. > :17:05.and the elderly who live in the area are particularly at risk.

:17:05. > :17:09.With heavy rain and gales sweeping the south this week, it might seem

:17:09. > :17:11.an odd time to be talking about a water shortage. But that's exactly

:17:11. > :17:15.what the Environment Agency is worried about. Rainfall this year

:17:15. > :17:17.has been so low that unless we get higher rain than usual this winter,

:17:17. > :17:22.there'll be droughts next year. Chris Coneybeer explains.

:17:22. > :17:28.It might be hard to believe but the weather we've been having means to

:17:28. > :17:32.up a bit short of water at the moment. This reservoir in West

:17:32. > :17:37.Sussex has levels of water which has dropped a critical level. We

:17:37. > :17:41.need lots of rain. In the past year, here in the South we've had half

:17:41. > :17:45.the amount we hadn't the 12 months before. The Environment Agency is

:17:45. > :17:50.becoming concerned. If we don't get sufficient rain in the next few

:17:50. > :17:59.months, we will be in a situation where lots of water companies in

:17:59. > :18:03.the spring at going to be applying for drought permits. We are

:18:03. > :18:06.concerned about balancing the needs of people and the business and

:18:07. > :18:11.wildlife to make it will fit together. If the drought comes, it

:18:12. > :18:17.will impact a large area. Here in southern England it will be among

:18:17. > :18:21.the worst affected. Efforts are under way even now to reduce water

:18:21. > :18:25.usage in Berkshire. Thames Water is trying to encourage people to

:18:25. > :18:29.protect one of the tributaries of the Thames. The we are hoping that

:18:29. > :18:37.people in the local area will say, that is my river, I want to look

:18:37. > :18:41.after its. The weighted to that is to help water wisely like not

:18:41. > :18:45.running the tap when the pressure our teeth and spending on them at

:18:45. > :18:50.less than a shower every morning. Saving water is one factor and

:18:50. > :18:54.another is rain. This winter, the mire at -- environment in Jeep --

:18:54. > :19:02.Environment Agency things we need more than normal to avoid a drought

:19:02. > :19:06.next spring. We've had so much awful weather in

:19:07. > :19:10.the last few days so it's hard to believe. We will be talking about

:19:10. > :19:20.more lively weather coming up over the next few days so stay with us

:19:20. > :19:21.

:19:22. > :19:25.for that. Meanwhile, it's time for tonight sport.

:19:25. > :19:28.Salisbury City of Conference South are into the third round of the FA

:19:28. > :19:31.Cup for the first time in their history. That's after a thrilling

:19:31. > :19:34.win in a replay at Grimsby, who play one division higher than the

:19:34. > :19:37.Whites. A goal from Salisbury's Dan Fitchett looked like it would take

:19:37. > :19:39.them through in normal time. But Grimsby equalised and then went

:19:39. > :19:45.ahead in extra time. Brian Dutton's close-range header brought

:19:45. > :19:48.Salisbury level at 2-2. And when Fitchett was fouled seven minutes

:19:48. > :19:56.from the end, Stuart Anderson scored the penalty to book a third

:19:56. > :19:58.round trip to League One side Sheffield United and �27,000.

:19:58. > :20:01.Ambitious plans for Basingstoke Town's new �10 million football

:20:01. > :20:04.stadium have gone on show. The Conference South club are hoping

:20:04. > :20:09.the ground will create three hundred jobs, and meet Football

:20:09. > :20:12.League standards. It would be built close to the M3 on the edge of town,

:20:12. > :20:21.and be funded by selling their existing Camrose Stadium home for

:20:35. > :20:37.will see us moving forward and will In cricket, there's been good news

:20:37. > :20:40.for Sussex and Hampshire today, with two players extending their

:20:40. > :20:43.contracts. Sussex captain Michael Yardy has committed his next three

:20:43. > :20:45.years to the county. He's thanked Sussex for standing by him earlier

:20:45. > :20:48.this year, during his battle with depression. Meanwhile, Hampshire

:20:48. > :20:51.fast bowler David Balcombe has signed a three year extension at

:20:51. > :20:53.the Rose Bowl. That's following a loan spell with Kent last season.

:20:53. > :20:56.And staying with new contracts, London Irish scrum-half Darren

:20:56. > :20:59.Allinson has signed a two year extension with the club. The 24-

:20:59. > :21:01.year-old joined the Exiles from Cardiff Blues last year, and will

:21:01. > :21:03.now be at the Madejski Stadium until 2014.

:21:03. > :21:06.Along with her brother, they have broken records, becoming national

:21:06. > :21:09.champions in their chosen sport not once, but twice. Now, 14- year-old

:21:09. > :21:13.gymnast Sapphire Dallard from Poole has bounced on to the world stage.

:21:13. > :21:23.She's now a world champion in the double mini trampoline. Jo Kent has

:21:23. > :21:23.

:21:23. > :21:29.been to find out more. It is a display of fitness, skill

:21:29. > :21:36.and dedication. These moves are just a gentle warm-up. This is a

:21:36. > :21:43.world champion action. Absolutely amazing. I cried when I found out I

:21:43. > :21:47.won. I broke down in floods of tears and gave her a huge had. It

:21:47. > :21:55.was unbelievable. You can't imagine your own sister being world

:21:55. > :21:59.champion. Her brother is equally talented. Their national champions.

:21:59. > :22:02.The double mini trampoline is a domestic discipline and a cross

:22:02. > :22:07.between trampolining and tumbling. It is a very high standard of

:22:07. > :22:13.competition. There are hundreds and hundreds of people doing the actual

:22:13. > :22:20.sport. There were over 20 countries in the world championships. It was

:22:20. > :22:24.highly competitive. These are some of the moves that landed her the

:22:24. > :22:31.world title. At the moment, it is not unloaded Sport but that remains

:22:31. > :22:34.their ultimate aim. Next year, I want to go to the European

:22:34. > :22:41.Championships and win because I came second last year. My dream is

:22:41. > :22:45.to get to the Olympics. I hope it has become an Olympic sport because

:22:45. > :22:49.I love it so much. Trampolining is an Olympic sport so I could try and

:22:49. > :22:53.get into the Olympics in trampolining as well. We first met

:22:53. > :22:56.the siblings last year and things have intensified since then. 12

:23:05. > :23:14.searching for sponsorship. Both admit to sometimes being scared of

:23:15. > :23:23.

:23:23. > :23:25.the big moves but they love their sport.

:23:25. > :23:28.And finally, at the World Sailing Championships, Dorset-based sisters

:23:28. > :23:31.Lucy and Kate MacGregor, along with Annie Lush, face the French boat in

:23:31. > :23:35.the semi-finals of the match racing class. Bad news though for Iain

:23:46. > :23:53.expected, after an injury to Percy. I hope that's not serious. Shall we

:23:53. > :23:59.move on to the weather? I think we ought to. We've only just got over

:23:59. > :24:04.the last lot of wind and rain and now you're mentioning snow.

:24:04. > :24:13.It is very interesting in the next few days. Let's have a look at our

:24:13. > :24:15.pictures today. Skaters in the early afternoon sunshine today at

:24:24. > :24:34.lovely glimpse of the sunset over Poole this afternoon, taken by Mick

:24:34. > :24:40.It is looking interesting for the next few days to come. Heavy

:24:40. > :24:48.showers continued through the overnight period. Those blustery

:24:48. > :24:51.showers focusing along the south coast. Further north, some wet snow

:24:51. > :24:58.for the Cotswolds and we're looking at temperatures plummeting to two

:24:58. > :25:02.degrees Celsius. I think we will have some brighter weather for a

:25:02. > :25:08.while before the next lot of showers coming from the West by

:25:08. > :25:16.mid-morning. A few sunny spells and it is a cold breezy day with

:25:16. > :25:20.temperatures not very impressive. But a very intense area of low

:25:20. > :25:26.pressure moves in from the south- west and the centre of the Lois

:25:26. > :25:33.just along the south coast so it's going to bring us some very strong

:25:33. > :25:40.winds and snow. There is going to be a lot of snow for some of us on

:25:40. > :25:46.Thursday. This is how it's going to play out. Quite strong winds,

:25:46. > :25:50.politically further south, and the worst case scenario is 10

:25:50. > :26:00.centimetres of snow for the higher ground and a couple of centimetres

:26:00. > :26:01.

:26:01. > :26:06.below levels. It is a very chilly start to Friday morning. The

:26:06. > :26:10.feature is going to give us rain but then blustery showers and a

:26:10. > :26:15.keen north-westerly wind giving us a very cold enter the week. On

:26:15. > :26:19.Saturday, dry for many parts with some sunny spells and we are

:26:19. > :26:26.looking at a few further wintery showers but I think the most

:26:26. > :26:31.concerning thing is Friday's snow. Keep tuned to the local forecast on

:26:31. > :26:41.Thursday into Friday because it still could change. A cold north-

:26:41. > :26:41.

:26:41. > :26:43.westerly wind with a risk of I like snow but when you are busy

:26:43. > :26:50.and you are trying to get around and doing your Christmas shopping,

:26:50. > :26:56.it gets in the way. A new feature starts tomorrow on
