:01:21. > :01:25.their way to Calais in order to get back home.
:01:25. > :01:30.Enough is enough. A number of Brittany ferries passengers had
:01:30. > :01:35.chosen to sit the strike out, in the hope of eventually coming home.

:02:06. > :02:14.on the ferry tomorrow. And we might have to stop on the way home from
:02:14. > :02:17.Dover. The drive is such a long way. The dispute is about proposals to
:02:17. > :02:20.change working hours. Brittany Ferries say they have to make
:02:21. > :02:26.changes because of losses caused by exchange-rate fluctuations and
:02:26. > :02:33.rising fuel costs. John and Eve were also sitting it out. They've

:02:45. > :02:50.will extend our holiday but we have already been here too long and we
:02:50. > :02:54.should be home. A lot of elderly people are still here. They are
:02:54. > :02:59.hoping that the ferries will run for stop we really don't think they

:03:14. > :03:16.businesses in the region rely on the ferry link to import and export
:03:16. > :03:19.their goods. Haulage firms are dealing with a logistical nightmare
:03:19. > :03:22.as they search for alternative routes with some warning that if

:04:02. > :04:07.instead of going from Plymouth to Roscoff, they had to go to

:20:10. > :20:14.get them out of danger and get back to the straw -- draw. This boat is
:20:14. > :20:19.the only one of her kind. Plan is to introduce about 50 over the next
:20:20. > :20:23.10 years, making up about a third of the RNLI is all-weather fade.
:20:23. > :20:28.The boats have a lifespan of 50 years and it is thought during that
:20:28. > :20:35.time, they will be involved in about 56,000 rescues and save in
:20:35. > :20:38.the region of 1500 lives. The boat, designed in-house by the RNLI, is
:20:38. > :20:42.self-righting. The safety of the crew has been at the heart of the
:20:42. > :20:47.project. The computer system allows them to remotely control many of
:20:47. > :20:52.the Brits functions. I can open and close valves without any need to
:20:52. > :20:56.move from my seat. Most of our injuries in the boats are from the
:20:56. > :20:58.moving around so this keeps people sat in their seats. The Shannon
:20:58. > :21:08.class doesn't need a slipway to launch. It has a mobile one,
:21:08. > :21:11.
:21:11. > :21:17.designed by Keith they Homerton based company. -- Honiton. It's
:21:17. > :21:21.excellent news for the company. This is our first vehicle. We have
:21:21. > :21:29.a production contract for two follow one vehicles. We are very
:21:29. > :21:32.proud of it. This kind of kid comes at a price, to �0.5 million buys
:21:32. > :21:40.boat and launched here. Fund- raising is under way to put more of
:21:40. > :21:44.these life-savers into the water. I have to have mushy peas with mine
:21:44. > :21:46.but whatever you like with one of the nation's favourite dishes, what
:21:46. > :21:49.makes a really good fish-and-chip shop?
:21:49. > :21:53.Plenty of salt and vinegar on mine. There is one in the south-west that
:21:53. > :21:56.has just been named the best in the region for the 8th time. Our lucky
:21:56. > :22:02.reporter has been sent along to Babbacombe to have a taste
:22:02. > :22:07.deceiving. -- this evening.
:22:07. > :22:11.I'm afraid I really am. It is back in here tonight but you cannot just
:22:11. > :22:16.-- just cannot beat the smell of fish and chips. It's the truth. All
:22:16. > :22:23.these people in south Devon know the secret that ham breeze is the
:22:23. > :22:27.best fish and chip shop and the south-west. -- Hanbury. Hello. How
:22:27. > :22:32.have you done it again? This is not the first time we've won this
:22:32. > :22:42.accolade. I know, eight times. As remarkable. And so chuffed with
:22:42. > :22:47.corset this year. We started in 1988, when we came second. This
:22:47. > :22:51.year, we are hoping to win the whole competition. We have already
:22:51. > :23:00.got the south-west. From this region it goes to Cornwall, right
:23:00. > :23:05.up to Avon and Wiltshire, down to Dorset. Devon and Cornwall. It's a
:23:05. > :23:09.fantastic achievement. I am really pleased for my staff as well as for
:23:09. > :23:17.myself. Her think the secret question is, what is your special
:23:17. > :23:22.secret? I think. You've got to be dedicated to it. I've been in this
:23:22. > :23:28.for 30 years. You've got to have attention to detail. It got to be a
:23:28. > :23:32.fusspot. I'm a very fussy about everything. I've instilled that
:23:32. > :23:38.into my staff and my staff are very, very conscientious about giving
:23:38. > :23:43.people good fish and chips. That is it, really. Experience comes into
:23:43. > :23:50.it. Some of my people have been with me for a long time and that
:23:50. > :23:55.helps to create the best fish and chip shop. A thank you for joining
:23:55. > :24:03.us tonight. David and the team will not find out until next year if
:24:03. > :24:13.they have won the national award. So fingers crossed for them.
:24:13. > :24:19.
:24:19. > :24:24.To cod and chips with mushy peas, But there is more rain in the
:24:24. > :24:28.forecast but perhaps not as bad as Sunday into Monday. Yes, there is
:24:28. > :24:31.rain and the forecast. Compared to the rainfall we seen across the
:24:31. > :24:36.North of England in the last day or so, not really as much as that but
:24:37. > :24:39.still of the risk of heavy downpours and there will be slow-
:24:39. > :24:43.moving showers through the afternoon. A lot going on at the
:24:43. > :24:49.moment. That rainfall totals we've seen since Sunday up at around 60
:24:49. > :24:53.mm for many locations. For most of us, that is about two-thirds of the
:24:53. > :24:56.total rainfall we normally expect to see in September. It shows you
:24:56. > :25:00.how much rain of this new area of low pressure arrived on Sunday has
:25:00. > :25:04.brought across Britain. It we are still at risk of seeing heavy rain
:25:04. > :25:07.so there is a warning from the Met Office of further outbreaks of rain,
:25:07. > :25:11.both tonight and tomorrow. It gets better as we move into Thursday and
:25:11. > :25:15.Friday, when EC better conditions, drier conditions and hopefully
:25:15. > :25:18.respite from some of this heavy rain. The area of low pressure is
:25:19. > :25:22.still across Britain at the moment. It is taking up the whole of the
:25:22. > :25:26.scorn of the Atlantic and it is that area of low pressure that will
:25:26. > :25:32.sink towards us overnight. As that happens, the centre of the low
:25:32. > :25:35.across the south-west of what England so what we will see his
:25:35. > :25:42.slow-moving showers. As we move into Thursday, the low-pressure
:25:42. > :25:49.balls away. That is the picture from earlier today. He can see that
:25:49. > :25:55.now there is a lot of colour in the picture. Brighter echoes from the
:25:55. > :26:01.radar dot dot dot that is the more persistent rain. We will also see
:26:01. > :26:10.showers. This was earlier today when it wasn't too bad. He has
:26:10. > :26:13.showers were few and far between over this part of Devon. A there
:26:13. > :26:16.are more showers to come this evening and one or two of the
:26:16. > :26:20.showers or the longer spells of rain overnight could be quite heavy.
:26:20. > :26:24.It could be quite breezy. As the centre of the loan is across as
:26:24. > :26:27.later in the night, the winds willies. A wet pitch arise until
:26:27. > :26:29.the early hours of the morning. We will continue to see the risk of
:26:30. > :26:34.some quite beefy showers ride through the morning and into the
:26:34. > :26:39.afternoon. They come -- become more isolated and second half of the day.
:26:39. > :26:42.I tend images of nine or 10 degrees. Tomorrow morning, we will see some
:26:43. > :26:46.sunny spells but also some frequent showers. They will become more
:26:46. > :26:50.isolated into the afternoon. The brighter colours illustrate where
:26:50. > :26:53.those will be. In between, brighter skies. Everything becomes slow
:26:53. > :26:58.moving around the middle of the day because the centre of the low
:26:58. > :27:06.pressure moves rise over us. These are the sort temperatures we can
:27:07. > :27:16.expect. One place that could be the aisles -- quite breezy will be the
:27:17. > :27:33.
