Hello, I'm Sally Taylor. Welcome to South Today. In tonight's | :00:02. | :00:06. | |
programme: To fill, or not to fill, that is the question, as the queues | :00:06. | :00:14. | |
get longer, and forecourts close. A suppose I am panicking when | :00:14. | :00:20. | |
everyone else. I needed fuel. There is no panic. People are panic- | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
buying at the moment. Feeling left out. People with | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
disabilities warn that some towns are becoming a no-go area for them. | :00:26. | :00:29. | |
Midway through her makeover, the �2 million restoration of the Brighton | :00:29. | :00:35. | |
Belle. Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to | :00:35. | :00:42. | |
the Titanic, the shape of dreams. Join us later for our Titanic tea | :00:42. | :00:52. | |
:00:52. | :00:52. | ||
The government says, don't panic, but are motorists listening? Many | :00:52. | :00:56. | |
parts of the south have again seen long queues, and some petrol | :00:56. | :00:59. | |
stations closed, as drivers try to fill up amid the uncertainty of | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
whether there will be a tanker drivers strike, and initial | :01:02. | :01:07. | |
confusion over ministers urging the use of jerry cans. Dorset Police | :01:07. | :01:10. | |
have been closing forecourts in Christchurch, because of dangerous | :01:10. | :01:15. | |
levels of traffic congestion. Let's cross to Rachael Canter who's in | :01:15. | :01:25. | |
the town. What are things like now? It is looking busy behind you? | :01:25. | :01:31. | |
Absolutely. There has been a continuous flow of traffic all day. | :01:31. | :01:36. | |
Staff are monitoring the cars. They are closing the forecourt once it | :01:36. | :01:45. | |
fills up, to prevent cars spilling out and queues forming in the road. | :01:45. | :01:51. | |
It is a similar picture across the county. | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
Fears that something we take for granted might run out, and in some | :01:55. | :01:59. | |
cases it has. Where there isn't a queue, it only means one thing. The | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
message is, don't panic. But, for some, it is easier said than done. | :02:06. | :02:10. | |
I live in London. I've only just got my caravan down here and I | :02:10. | :02:14. | |
haven't got enough to get back to London. I have been to Sainsbury's | :02:14. | :02:20. | |
to get some lunch and the Duke is enormous. I need fuel. I am not | :02:20. | :02:25. | |
rushing. I have seen all the other garages and they're panic-buying. | :02:25. | :02:31. | |
am panicking like everyone else. Police asked five forecourts in | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
Dorset to temporarily closed because queues were bickering | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
dangers. Emergency services have their own petrol and diesel pumps | :02:38. | :02:43. | |
at stations, with enough fuel to last 30 days. Our police officers | :02:43. | :02:49. | |
are busy people and they haven't time to wait to get on to the fuel | :02:49. | :02:54. | |
court. At this moment, we are saying to police officers return to | :02:54. | :03:01. | |
the station and use stocks there. Leas have issued a warning. | :03:01. | :03:06. | |
Stockpiling petrol is dangerous. Carrying petrol cans in your car is | :03:06. | :03:11. | |
dangerous, it's not the liquid but of a pub. In the rush, no one was | :03:11. | :03:19. | |
going anywhere fast. Absolute chaos. We are only a small company. 20 | :03:19. | :03:28. | |
minutes extra journey to get to people to pick them up. Ladies had | :03:28. | :03:34. | |
to go to dentists and doctors. The panic for them was quite dramatic. | :03:34. | :03:38. | |
Motorists here have been waiting for 20 minutes. Elsewhere, we have | :03:38. | :03:43. | |
had reports of people queuing for up to one hour. It seems people are | :03:43. | :03:46. | |
prepared to stick it out for fear of running out. | :03:46. | :03:49. | |
There have been reports of some modest queues in Sussex, while in | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
the Thames Valley, shortages were having an effect on some people | :03:53. | :04:01. | |
trying to get to work. Ben Moore reports. | :04:01. | :04:07. | |
The M4 corridor as its name suggest, is built around the car. But | :04:07. | :04:10. | |
forecourts in Lower Earley were deserted today, as the two main | :04:10. | :04:15. | |
petrol stations ran dry. I was told it was absolutely manic in their | :04:15. | :04:20. | |
yesterday, and it continued right up until today basically. What a | :04:20. | :04:25. | |
people's attitudes like on the forecourt? Most of them are all | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
right. Some are getting abrupt. They have no fuel. They can't get | :04:30. | :04:37. | |
to work. It is easy to see why the BP garage and the ASDA garage here | :04:37. | :04:42. | |
have run dry. This is prime commuter-belt for the M4 corridor, | :04:42. | :04:47. | |
and everyone who lives here really relies on their cars. Plus, the | :04:47. | :04:54. | |
next nearest garage is three miles away. That had the long queues | :04:54. | :04:58. | |
Plaidy most forecourts across the region. It is all leaving some of | :04:59. | :05:03. | |
our vital services struggling to where they are needed. I am a | :05:03. | :05:07. | |
police officer in London, I need my bike to get to work. I don't have | :05:07. | :05:13. | |
enough fuel to get to work. The fuel light is on. There's nothing | :05:13. | :05:20. | |
in the local area. I can't get my hands on �5 worth of fuel. It's not | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
just fuel running low, over the weekend, fuel cans were in great | :05:25. | :05:34. | |
demand. Halfords say sales are up 225%. But there's no tanker driver | :05:34. | :05:37. | |
strike just yet. Much needed replenishment arrived just after | :05:37. | :05:40. | |
lunch. A tanker like this carries about 30,000 litres of petrol. How | :05:40. | :05:47. | |
long it will last is anyone's guess. We have Britain's biggest oil | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
refinery at Fawley on Southampton Water. It supplies one car in six | :05:50. | :05:54. | |
on Britain's roads. But that won't help if there are no tanker drivers | :05:54. | :05:58. | |
to deliver it. Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton is here | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
to make sense of it all. It's the same everywhere. Driving | :06:04. | :06:08. | |
through Wiltshire, I saw queues at many petrol stations. And yet we | :06:08. | :06:13. | |
don't even know whether a strike will happen. If it does, the Unite | :06:13. | :06:16. | |
union has to give at least seven days' notice. Hampshire Police even | :06:16. | :06:22. | |
had to warn its own staff today that there is no need to panic buy. | :06:22. | :06:25. | |
Unite represents more than 2,000 tanker drivers who work for seven | :06:25. | :06:30. | |
big distribution firms. They supply fuel to 90% of the country's | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
forecourts. Some smaller firms, like Wessex Petroleum, aren't | :06:33. | :06:38. | |
involved. What about air travellers? Gatwick | :06:38. | :06:42. | |
Airport is supplied by pipeline. But smaller airports, like | :06:42. | :06:46. | |
Southampton and Bournemouth, are not. Most trains in our region are | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
electric. But those that run on diesel could be at risk. First | :06:50. | :06:54. | |
Great Western says half its fuel is delivered by rail, but the rest | :06:54. | :06:59. | |
comes by lorry. The amount of petrol sold today is 8% higher than | :06:59. | :07:04. | |
normal. And here's a thought. The AA in Basingtoke says the panic | :07:04. | :07:07. | |
buying is handing the government �34 million in extra tax today | :07:07. | :07:15. | |
alone. What a change. In the last five years, the amount of fuel sold | :07:15. | :07:20. | |
at the pumps has collapsed by a fifth. Until today, we've all been | :07:20. | :07:27. | |
cutting back to save money. We'd love to hear if you're facing | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
any disruption as a result of the fuel situation. Are you having | :07:30. | :07:35. | |

[email protected]. The body of a Royal Marine from | :07:50. | :07:53. | |
Dorset has been returned to the UK this afternoon. Sergeant Luke | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
Taylor from Bournemouth died on Monday. He'd been on deployment for | :07:56. | :08:00. | |
just four weeks. Laura Trant is in our newsroom. Remind us of what | :08:00. | :08:05. | |
happened. Sergeant Luke Taylor died along | :08:05. | :08:08. | |
with a Lance Corporal Michael Foley, at the entrance to the UK | :08:08. | :08:12. | |
headquarters in Helmand on Monday. They were both shot dead by a rogue | :08:12. | :08:21. | |
Afghan soldier. They were repatriated, along with a 24 year | :08:21. | :08:25. | |
old soldier killed by a bomb blast on the 21st of March. This shooting | :08:25. | :08:29. | |
at the base in Lashkar Gah is the latest in a string of so called | :08:29. | :08:32. | |
"green on blue" attacks, where members of the Afghan security | :08:32. | :08:34. | |
forces have opened fire on international allies. | :08:34. | :08:41. | |
What do we know about Luke Taylor? Sergeant Taylor was 33. He joined | :08:41. | :08:46. | |
the Royal Marines in 1997. He had only been deployed in Afghanistan | :08:46. | :08:49. | |
for four weeks. It's thought he worked in intelligence, and may | :08:49. | :08:53. | |
have been part of the SBS. That may explain why many of the tributes | :08:53. | :08:59. | |
come from unnamed colleagues. His commanding officer said: Sergeant | :08:59. | :09:02. | |
Taylor epitomised everything positive about the military. He was | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
also described as a natural leader, with inspirational flair, and he | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
was devoted to his family. Sergeant Taylor leaves behind his wife | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
Nicola and their son Roan. So far, 407 British Forces personnel have | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
Europe's biggest train operators are in the running to take over two | :09:24. | :09:27. | |
of the region's biggest rail franchises. First Group, which runs | :09:27. | :09:29. | |
Great Western, faces competition for services throughout the Thames | :09:29. | :09:32. | |
Valley, from Stagecoach, National Express and Arriva. First is also | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
in the running for the giant Thameslink contract, against | :09:35. | :09:37. | |
Stagecoach, Hong Kong-based MTR, and Govia, which runs Southern | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Railway. This will become Britain's biggest rail franchise, absorbing | :09:40. | :09:43. | |
the whole of the current Southern and Thameslink areas. Both | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
:09:53. | :10:06. | ||
franchises will start next year. Still to come in this evening's | :10:06. | :10:16. | |

South Today: We're saddling up with The Brighton Belle, one of the | :10:20. | :10:23. | |
world's best known trains, is being restored. It's 80 year old | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
carriages should return as a Sussex charter service next year. But the | :10:27. | :10:31. | |
Brighton Belle will have to run at 95 miles an hour, to fit in between | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
the modern trains. And the train has never been that fast in its | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
life. Our transport correspondent Paul Clifton reports, from the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
workshop in Derbyshire where the repairs are being done. | :10:43. | :10:48. | |
Of Brighton Belle was the first InterCity electric train. And art- | :10:48. | :10:54. | |
deco icon, Stuart -- stripped back to bare metal. At a �2 million, | :10:54. | :11:01. | |
Britain's biggest train restoration project. We are doing a for all | :11:01. | :11:07. | |
stripped out to eliminate or corrosion, all elements of damage, | :11:07. | :11:17. | |
:11:17. | :11:19. | ||
the scars of life the chain has been through. -- train. The | :11:19. | :11:24. | |
Brighton Belle run for 40 years. For many years, the conductor was a | :11:24. | :11:32. | |
man called Buster. We have had the Royal Family who have used the | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
train. Quite something. When British Rail decided to drop | :11:38. | :11:42. | |
kippers from the breakfast menu, the actor Laurence Olivier led a | :11:43. | :11:49. | |
campaign to have them restored. He won. It is important in its way as | :11:49. | :11:58. | |
the Flying Scotsman is important, the Orient Express. I am very happy | :11:58. | :12:03. | |
the Brighton Belle will continue to be one of the finest trains in the | :12:03. | :12:10. | |
world. But, two years later, it was retired. This was its final day, | :12:10. | :12:16. | |
almost 40 years ago. Silver service and the Age of elegance, replaced | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
by plastic cups and packets of sandwiches. Now, five of the | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
carriages are being restored. First-class carriages had names. | :12:26. | :12:32. | |
The third class, just had numbers. Car number 91 was damaged by a bomb | :12:32. | :12:36. | |
at Victoria Station in 1941. Emergency repairs are carried out | :12:36. | :12:41. | |
70 years ago are only now been corrected. It was originally | :12:41. | :12:46. | |
designed to run at 75 mph which is no longer fast enough for today's | :12:46. | :12:52. | |
network. It has to run at 95 mph of which means a lot of intricate re- | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
engineering. This is probably the most complex re-engineering project | :12:57. | :13:03. | |
on the railway system. If the work goes according to plan, the aim is | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
for this train to run on the Brighton main line by the end of | :13:06. | :13:14. | |
next year. We look forward to seeing that. | :13:14. | :13:17. | |
Many parts of Brighton and Hove are inaccessible for disabled people. | :13:17. | :13:20. | |
That's according to a new report which shows many wheelchair and | :13:20. | :13:23. | |
mobility scooter users are avoiding certain parts of the city | :13:23. | :13:26. | |
altogether. The city council admits things need to improve, but says | :13:26. | :13:28. | |
they are studying the report and changes are planned. Danielle | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Glavin has more. Chris Kift says it's hard to get | :13:33. | :13:37. | |
around the city. His dentist is in this road, but he can't get down | :13:37. | :13:43. | |
the kerrb and would have to bypass the pavement altogether. | :13:44. | :13:50. | |
I have got to take my chair onto the road way to get up to a very | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
accessible surgery once you're in it. But that is against the law to | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
use the road. How does it make you feel? It is dangerous. 50 people | :13:58. | :14:01. | |
were interviewed for the Countability report. Getting around | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
the city was a problem for many. Parts of Kemptown were seen as no- | :14:05. | :14:11. | |
go areas. This reports that -- looks at isolation, and healthcare. | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
Many disabled people said the service they got just wasn't good | :14:15. | :14:24. | |
:14:25. | :14:39. | ||
Dr John hasty wrote the report. He says that it shows that not all | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
improvements work well. Often many disabled people are | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
willing to volunteer time to get involved and make sure that when | :14:49. | :14:54. | |
changes are made they are made correctly so that they don't waste | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
money making changes that don't suit disabled people. The city | :14:58. | :15:03. | |
council admits things need to improve. People are becoming more | :15:04. | :15:08. | |
independent, wanting to move around more and across the country we -- | :15:08. | :15:11. | |
we have some old cities with old Emperor structure so I think we are | :15:12. | :15:19. | |
doing a reasonable job but I know we can do better. -- Infrastructure. | :15:19. | :15:29. | |
For those who rely on the Kurds, they can't come soon enough. | :15:29. | :15:34. | |
Nearly 70 animals, including 48 ponies, died on a forest roads last | :15:34. | :15:39. | |
year and some livestock owners want to see pinch points which force | :15:40. | :15:44. | |
drivers to slow in narrow sections but critics say they are a safety | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
risk. Fishermen in Sussex make their | :15:48. | :15:52. | |
living finding food for our plates but now they are being asked to | :15:52. | :15:56. | |
uncover the secrets of the past. A scheme is encouraging them to | :15:56. | :16:02. | |
report anything of historic interest. If successful the scheme | :16:02. | :16:07. | |
could be rolled out across the country. | :16:07. | :16:13. | |
Just occasionally the sea let slip one of its secrets. This statue was | :16:13. | :16:17. | |
dredged from Chichester harbour by a fisherman more than a decade ago. | :16:17. | :16:23. | |
Since then it has had a supporting role at home. To be honest my | :16:23. | :16:27. | |
father was using it as a doorstop but then when Sussex Fisheries said | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
that some people were interested in things that had been caught and I | :16:32. | :16:35. | |
took it along to a meeting and they have had it ever since. I am | :16:35. | :16:41. | |
interested in how excited people get about our doorstop. Since Gary | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
told archaeologists about the sculpture they have been examining | :16:44. | :16:49. | |
the find. Even without ahead it is telling them a lot. It is from the | :16:49. | :16:57. | |
Celtic fringe, Normandy or Brittany, and the dating could be anything | :16:57. | :17:01. | |
from Roman up to post medieval. We are thinking because of the | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
inscription that it could be 12th century. Of coarse fishermen have | :17:06. | :17:12. | |
found more than fish in the sea, they have found wreck sites are and | :17:12. | :17:18. | |
artifacts. Now a pilot scheme aims to get more fishermen on board in | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
its discovery our past. If the fishermen discovers anything they | :17:22. | :17:30. | |
can get in contact with an expert at Wessex University. It is ground- | :17:30. | :17:34. | |
breaking. Some of the things we are hearing about are changing our | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
understanding of the local area. The trial in Sussex just once it | :17:39. | :17:44. | |
easier for the fishing industry to report archaeological finds. If it | :17:44. | :17:49. | |
is successful the scheme may be adopted nationally. In an island | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
crowded with history it is no surprise its waters are us well. -- | :17:56. | :18:06. | |
:18:06. | :18:09. | ||
as well. Now on to the sport. | :18:09. | :18:12. | |
Many eventers at 56 might be thinking of retiring and hanging up | :18:12. | :18:15. | |
their spurs. But one man is doing exactly the opposite and lining up | :18:15. | :18:18. | |
for his country in this year's Olympics. He qualified for his | :18:18. | :18:26. | |
first Olympics in 1980 and Alexis Green went to meet him. | :18:26. | :18:31. | |
New Zealand rider Mark Todd, who is based in Berkshire, is one of the | :18:31. | :18:38. | |
most recognisable faces of eventing. He has won two Olympic golds. In -- | :18:38. | :18:44. | |
after Sydney 2000 he retired but he has gone back to the sport. | :18:44. | :18:52. | |
decided in 2008 that I would have a go in this Olympics -- the last | :18:52. | :18:57. | |
Olympics. The plan was to retire after that but then I found that I | :18:57. | :19:04. | |
was really enjoying it. Today he is here, near Ringwood, competing on | :19:04. | :19:08. | |
very different horses. He is checking out the likely competition | :19:08. | :19:12. | |
for the Olympics. Market is no stranger to the biggest stage and | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
the Olympic course in Greenwich Park will be a challenge. It will | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
be a real ride as' course. It will be up and down, backwards and | :19:23. | :19:33. | |
:19:33. | :19:33. | ||
forwards. -- riders' course. Dressage is a series of love to | :19:33. | :19:40. | |
judged movement. Then the show jumping. Them across country but | :19:40. | :19:45. | |
first mark takes a quick to legged check of the course. Them back to | :19:45. | :19:53. | |
four legs. -- then. He takes all of the fences in his stride. His | :19:53. | :19:56. | |
competitive spirit is as strong as ever. | :19:56. | :20:01. | |
When you qualify for the Moscow Olympics in 1980 - before I was | :20:01. | :20:10. | |
born! - how do you keep the momentum up? In my eight-year | :20:10. | :20:16. | |
sabbatical I got re-energised and came back as keen as ever. Whilst | :20:16. | :20:20. | |
we were filming it was hard not to notice the steady flow of people | :20:20. | :20:30. | |

walking behind the scenes to try to get a glimpse of their hero. | :20:31. | :20:34. | |
Crawley Town and Bradford City have been hit with an FA charge relating | :20:34. | :20:37. | |
to their players' conduct in Tuesday night's match, which ended | :20:37. | :20:40. | |
in a mass brawl. Five players were sent off, two from Crawley. In | :20:40. | :20:43. | |
addition today, Kyle McFadzean and Pablo Mills, who weren't sanctioned | :20:43. | :20:46. | |
on the night, have been charged with violent conduct after video | :20:46. | :20:52. | |
evidence was reviewed. Southampton Football Club is to | :20:52. | :20:55. | |
report losses of �11.5 million for the last financial year, but has | :20:55. | :20:58. | |
revealed that loans totalling more than �30 million have effectively | :20:58. | :21:04. | |
been written off by the estate of their late owner Markus Liebherr. | :21:04. | :21:07. | |
The figures will show that wages account for 93% of turnover at the | :21:07. | :21:10. | |
Championship leaders. The Liebherr estate has converted �32 million in | :21:10. | :21:15. | |
loans into share capital. Executive chairman Nicola Cortese says the | :21:15. | :21:22. | |
long-term ambition is to make the club self-sustaining. | :21:22. | :21:24. | |
The former Portsmouth chief executive Peter Storrie has | :21:24. | :21:27. | |
admitted he would like to return to the club. Storrie was the key | :21:27. | :21:30. | |
executive at Portsmouth for eight years, helping the club to its most | :21:30. | :21:33. | |
successful period for half a century, but he also presided over | :21:33. | :21:36. | |
the club as a string of owners came and went and Portsmouth dropped out | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
of the league, with debts of well over �100 million. He was cleared | :21:39. | :21:43. | |
of tax evasion charges last year stemming from his time at the club. | :21:43. | :21:48. | |
And a big hour of debate coming up tomorrow on BBC Radio Solent. The | :21:48. | :21:50. | |
Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch is joining Julian Clegg's | :21:50. | :21:54. | |
breakfast show, where he will be in the hot seat for an hour between 9 | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
and 10 tomorrow morning. He will take calls and update us on the | :21:58. | :22:01. | |
latest attempts to save the club. I will be joining Trevor and Julian | :22:01. | :22:06. | |
for that. Guildford Flames have secured a | :22:06. | :22:08. | |
season's double after winning the ice hockey knockout cup competition | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
last night. They beat the Sheffield Steeldogs 6-2 in the second leg of | :22:12. | :22:16. | |
the final - that's 12-5 on aggregate. The Flames had already | :22:16. | :22:26. | |
:22:26. | :22:26. | ||
secured the Premier League title this season. Well done, Guildford | :22:26. | :22:29. | |
Flames. With the Titanic centenary almost | :22:29. | :22:32. | |
upon us, many schools have been doing special projects on the ship. | :22:32. | :22:36. | |
But how do you get the children of today to understand a bygone age of | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
steam, luxury travel and class differences? | :22:39. | :22:42. | |
Well, for the year 6 pupils at Kanes Hill Primary School in | :22:42. | :22:46. | |
Southampton the answer was to hold a Titanic tea dance. | :22:46. | :22:49. | |
10 year-old Hannah Bowen invited us along but, as Dani Sinha discovered, | :22:49. | :22:56. | |
they have been studying more than their dance moves. | :22:56. | :23:05. | |
The Titanic weighs 46,000 tonnes. It is 882 feet from the bow to | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
stern. Somebody has been doing their homework. Preparation is | :23:10. | :23:14. | |
everything when you are getting ready to welcome first class | :23:14. | :23:17. | |
passengers on board the Titanic. For the past few months these | :23:17. | :23:22. | |
children have lived and breathed the vessel, reading diaries and | :23:22. | :23:26. | |
newspapers, part of their journey to re-enact life on board the ship. | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
Getting into character has not been a problem. Ladies and gentlemen, | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
welcome aboard the Titanic, the ship of dreams. Tonight we will | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
make history. But some crew members have mixed feelings about whether | :23:40. | :23:44. | |
they would have liked to have lived in that era. I would have liked to | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
have been there but I would not have liked to have been in steerage | :23:48. | :23:53. | |
and first class was a bit snooty. I'm not sure because I think it | :23:53. | :23:56. | |
would have liked to have been on the Titanic but the sinking part | :23:56. | :24:01. | |
but smear of! Parents posed as first class passengers and were | :24:01. | :24:06. | |
treated to some top entertainment. Many were impressed with the | :24:06. | :24:11. | |
service. I am with my grandson, Matthew, and it is a lovely ship | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
and we are enjoying the crews. has been wonderful, it is such an | :24:15. | :24:21. | |
amazing ship and such great service. He has shown me to my seat and | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
being very polite and courteous. I wish it was like that at home. | :24:25. | :24:32. | |
staff are excellent and the food is delicious. It has been a great | :24:32. | :24:36. | |
getting involved. It is nice to see the look on the children space is. | :24:36. | :24:45. | |
For these pupils today's voyage had a happy ending. | :24:45. | :24:49. | |
Well done a year six at Kanes Hill Primary School. I like the fact | :24:49. | :24:59. | |
:24:59. | :25:03. | ||
that all the parents were A significant change on the way but | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
let's focus on the pictures. Sarah Johns sent us this unusual | :25:08. | :25:11. | |
view at Hayling Island beach this morning. | :25:11. | :25:14. | |
A sunny view at Sir Harold Hillier Gardens, taken by Robert Stidworthy. | :25:14. | :25:17. | |
Sue Cheney sent us this of Thorness Bay with Ralph the beagle enjoying | :25:17. | :25:27. | |
his walk. It has been probably the last of | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
the really warmest days so I have brought you some interesting | :25:32. | :25:39. | |
information. It is a record today. 22 Celsius. Previously in 1999 we | :25:39. | :25:43. | |
recorded 19 Celsius. This Monday just gone we had high is a 20 | :25:43. | :25:48. | |
Celsius. Tonight, not as cold as the previous two nights. That is | :25:48. | :25:54. | |
because there is a bit of cloud about. The cloud coming in from the | :25:54. | :25:58. | |
north and east, temperatures still on the cooler side and the risk of | :25:58. | :26:02. | |
ground frost in rural locations. We are looking at a minimum of four | :26:02. | :26:08. | |
Celsius. More low cloud by the end of the night. It might be slow to | :26:08. | :26:12. | |
clear at first but once it does disburse it will be a beautifully | :26:12. | :26:19. | |
sunny day, a fair deal of sunshine and still warm. We are losing a few | :26:19. | :26:26. | |
degrees so for many of us it will be 14-19 Celsius. Into the evening | :26:26. | :26:35. | |
we are looking at a mix of cloud and clear spells. Temperatures are | :26:35. | :26:42. | |
around five or six Celsius. There might be some patchy fog into | :26:42. | :26:47. | |
Saturday. The High has drifted west and behind that we might have a | :26:47. | :26:51. | |
weakening cold front sneaking in. It is not really bringing anything | :26:51. | :26:56. | |
except cloud and a massive impact on temperatures. On Saturday, the | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
best of the sunshine is to the south-west. The rain is to faraway | :27:01. | :27:09. | |
full us. For many of us it will be a very cloudy scene. -- the rain is | :27:09. | :27:18. | |
too far away for us. Enjoy Friday, it is still warm. Saturday not too | :27:18. | :27:28. | |
:27:28. | :27:37. |
