:00:11. > :00:16.An increasingly bitter row over the bed blocking crisis at the Royal
:00:16. > :00:19.Cornwall Hospital. Good evening. Patients are waiting
:00:19. > :00:23.to be discharged, others have had operations cancelled. Tonight one MP
:00:23. > :00:33.has firmly laid the blame with Cornwall Council. The missing piece
:00:33. > :00:38.of the jigsaw has been Cornwall Council, because they provide the
:00:38. > :00:42.adult social care assessment and services in Cornwall.
:00:42. > :00:44.Also tonight: The poor condition of their boat led to the deaths of
:00:44. > :00:47.three fishermen. An inquest hears that the Purbeck
:00:47. > :00:50.Isle sank quickly while its crew were laying pots.
:00:50. > :00:51.And 2,000 people make claims against councils here for pothole injuries
:00:51. > :01:00.and damage. There's an increasingly angry row
:01:00. > :01:03.about bed blocking at the Royal Cornwall Hospital. A major internal
:01:03. > :01:06.incident has been declared at the hospital, which says its unable to
:01:06. > :01:10.discharge some patients because they have nowhere to go. It's led to the
:01:10. > :01:14.cancellation of operations because of the lack of beds. Cornwall
:01:14. > :01:16.Council, which is responsible for providing social care when
:01:16. > :01:21.vulnerable people leave hospital, says it's not to blame for the
:01:21. > :01:25.crisis. But tonight one MP has severely criticised the council.
:01:25. > :01:36.We'll hear from Sarah Newton, after this report from Eleanor Parkinson.
:01:36. > :01:39.Sarah arrived at the Royal Cornwall Hospital yesterday for a
:01:39. > :01:43.hysterectomy operation. She was about to have her anaesthetic when
:01:43. > :01:48.she was told the operation would not be happening. I was fully changed
:01:48. > :01:59.and had even been given the pre—med medicine. So I was thinking, why
:01:59. > :02:04.waste the medication? They must be doing my surgery now. To then be
:02:04. > :02:09.told, half an hour later, sorry, no beds. How did you feel about that?
:02:09. > :02:14.When I was taken through by the registrar into the consulting room,
:02:14. > :02:17.I burst into tears. The Royal Cornwall Hospital said they were
:02:17. > :02:21.forced to postpone some planned operations because of what they
:02:22. > :02:28.describe as a main —— major internal incident.
:02:28. > :02:32.They say 50 patients were occupying much needed beds. Over the last few
:02:32. > :02:37.weeks we have seen pressure with was full of patients either waiting to
:02:37. > :02:40.go into a community bed waiting for packages of care.
:02:40. > :02:45.Those are patients we have essentially finished treating, but
:02:45. > :02:51.we cannot let them go back home, and that means we cannot get the new
:02:51. > :02:54.patients in. When a patient is discharged from this hospital they
:02:54. > :02:56.might not be well enough to go home.
:02:56. > :03:01.They might go to a community hospital or get a package of care at
:03:01. > :03:05.home. The agencies involved in providing that care, including the
:03:05. > :03:09.County Council, say they were not told about the bed crisis so they
:03:09. > :03:13.cannot be held responsible for the delays.
:03:13. > :03:17.We discharged ten people with very complex needs from hospital
:03:17. > :03:22.yesterday. There was one additional person referred, for whom we have
:03:22. > :03:31.arranged a package of care. So there is clearly a need for us to check
:03:31. > :03:36.those numbers. So at no stage are you saying this person has got to
:03:36. > :03:39.stay in hospital? No. Today operations were still being
:03:39. > :03:46.cancelled although the trust said people were contacted at home. The
:03:46. > :03:52.bed crisis is also affecting the emergency department. Meanwhile,
:03:52. > :03:55.Sarah says she has not been told when her operation will be carried
:03:56. > :03:59.out. She says she has been left in limbo.
:03:59. > :04:02.Well, earlier I spoke to the MP for Truro and Falmouth, Sarah Newton.
:04:02. > :04:11.She told me she blamed Cornwall Council for the current crisis. I
:04:11. > :04:15.do. From —— from what I have been hearing, the leaders of the NHS in
:04:15. > :04:20.Cornwall have been working hard for some time to join up their services,
:04:20. > :04:24.to work well, to do things more efficiently, better for patients,
:04:24. > :04:29.and the missing piece of the jigsaw has been Cornwall Council. Because
:04:29. > :04:34.of course they provide the adult social care assessments and services
:04:34. > :04:38.in Cornwall. What I hear is that the chief executive and the leader of
:04:38. > :04:47.the council do not go to those meetings, are not really giving this
:04:47. > :04:49.issue the leadership that it deserves. Cornwall Council have the
:04:49. > :04:52.responsibility for the health and well—being board, they have a very
:04:52. > :04:56.important role to play in bringing the whole health community in
:04:56. > :05:01.Cornwall together. To plan services, to prevent this dreadful situation
:05:01. > :05:05.from occurring. Cornwall Council say none of the delays were due to
:05:05. > :05:08.people waiting for social care provision. They are saying
:05:08. > :05:11.effectively they did all they could do is theirs, and that the Royal
:05:11. > :05:15.Cornwall Hospital was not allowing people to understand the scale of
:05:15. > :05:21.the problem, that there was some communication breakdown on the part
:05:21. > :05:24.—— part of the hospital. It is completely unacceptable that people
:05:24. > :05:27.are sitting at home this evening, people worried about going to the
:05:27. > :05:31.hospital, worried about their relatives in the hospital who should
:05:31. > :05:35.be at home, who should be in a better care setting, and hearing
:05:35. > :05:38.this sort of squabbling. They need to get themselves around the table
:05:38. > :05:44.as soon as possible and sort out services to prevent this from
:05:44. > :05:47.happening. Cornwall Council say they are spending money on initiatives
:05:47. > :05:59.including trying to avoid people going into hospital at the first
:05:59. > :06:01.place. It says as a result of these pressures they have a £3 million
:06:01. > :06:03.overspend on services for older people and people with disabilities.
:06:03. > :06:06.How confident are you that we are not even into winter fully yet, that
:06:06. > :06:09.the system in Cornwall can cope with the increase in emissions over the
:06:09. > :06:12.winter months? I am not confident at all after today. They need to
:06:12. > :06:20.address this as a huge matter of urgency. More people turn to go into
:06:20. > :06:22.hospital in particularly December and January, and they need to be
:06:22. > :06:25.working now, they should have been working on this for months and
:06:25. > :06:30.months and months. To actually prepare themselves for this. The
:06:30. > :06:33.Government has recognised the pressure that Cornwall Council is
:06:33. > :06:58.under with its adult social care provision. They have been given
:06:58. > :07:01.extra money. This year over £9 million alone, over £7 million last
:07:01. > :07:03.year at the year before. If they have overspent by £3 million, that
:07:03. > :07:05.clearly isn't enough. You have to look at how they are going about
:07:05. > :07:08.managing their services. The recent tendering process for adult social
:07:08. > :07:10.care has ended up in shambles. They couldn't handle that process
:07:10. > :07:13.properly. I feel extremely sorry for the social workers who are trying to
:07:13. > :07:15.do a very difficult job in Cornwall Council, but it is a lack of
:07:15. > :07:16.political leadership that has led to this very unacceptable state of
:07:16. > :07:20.affairs. A Conservative MP from Devon has
:07:20. > :07:23.thrown his weight behind claims that too few badgers have been culled in
:07:23. > :07:26.Somerset to meet the government's own criteria. Neil Parish, the MP
:07:26. > :07:30.for Tiverton and Honiton, has told the BBC the cull had "not worked as
:07:30. > :07:33.hoped" and there was "quite a problem with the numbers". Other
:07:33. > :07:36.sources had earlier claimed fewer than half the required number had
:07:36. > :07:43.been culled. Our Political Editor Martyn Oates joins us now from
:07:43. > :07:48.Westminster. These comments are extremely
:07:48. > :07:53.unhelpful, and they? Given who they come from, he is a Conservative MP,
:07:54. > :07:56.a former chairman of the European Parliament's agricultural committee,
:07:56. > :08:01.someone who knows a lot about farming. He is also very much a
:08:01. > :08:05.supporter of the cull, but like everybody else who is keen to see
:08:05. > :08:10.Carling given a chance in the fight against bovine TB, he is likely to
:08:10. > :08:15.be cross if it turns out to few badgers are being killed to test
:08:15. > :08:19.whether it works in the first place. How important are these numbers? The
:08:19. > :08:28.Government stressed they are important. These two —— mise two
:08:28. > :08:31.pilot culls were delayed. Simply because there was a concern they
:08:31. > :08:36.might not be able to cull enough badgers. If you take that into
:08:36. > :08:40.consideration, combined with the Government's insistence that it is
:08:40. > :08:51.making sure it gets every detail right, it will be very embarrassing
:08:51. > :08:54.for ministers if these suggestions turn out to be true. What have the
:08:54. > :08:56.anti—coal protesters been saying? They are saying is significantly
:08:56. > :09:00.lower number of —— numbers of badgers have been killed, it is
:09:00. > :09:03.likely to reduce the incidence of bovine TB in cattle. You end up with
:09:03. > :09:07.more badgers wandering the countryside away from the partially
:09:07. > :09:13.cold social groups trying to set out new groups and spreading disease as
:09:13. > :09:16.they go. As the dust settles on yesterday's reshuffle in looks as
:09:16. > :09:21.though ministerial responsibility for this will land on the desk of
:09:21. > :09:25.George Eustace. An inquest in Dorset has decided
:09:25. > :09:28.that the poor condition of a fishing boat contributed to its sudden
:09:28. > :09:32.sinking and the deaths of its three crew. The Purbeck Isle went down off
:09:32. > :09:35.Portland in May last year, and today experts catalogued a string of
:09:35. > :09:39.faults with the vessel included a rotting hull and overloading. The
:09:39. > :09:50.jury ruled that the deaths were an accident. James Ingham reports. The
:09:50. > :09:55.Purbeck Isle set out on an ordinary day at sea. Its crew were moving
:09:55. > :10:01.parts from winter fishing grounds to deeper water south of Portland Bill.
:10:01. > :10:06.Skipper David MacFarlane at his crew members Jack Craig and Robert Prowse
:10:06. > :10:12.died when the boat sank as they were laying pots. Mr Prowse's body has
:10:13. > :10:17.never been found. —— wrote Robert Prowse's body. Today an accident
:10:17. > :10:22.investigator told a jury that the boat was in a poor condition, and
:10:22. > :10:26.heavily loaded. The Marine accident investigation Branch said parts of
:10:26. > :10:31.the wooden hull were rotten and fastenings have corroded. A life
:10:31. > :10:35.raft had been stowed in —— incorrectly so it did not
:10:35. > :10:41.automatically inflate. When the Purbeck Isle sank quickly, the crew
:10:41. > :10:47.stood little chance of surviving. The accident shocked this tight—knit
:10:47. > :10:51.fitting community. —— fishing community. Other fishermen are
:10:51. > :10:55.determined to avoid such a tragedy happening again. There is a lot to
:10:55. > :11:00.learn from this report. The industry has to move forward with better
:11:00. > :11:04.health and safety requirements. If every book that sets sail from the
:11:04. > :11:09.harbour comes back at the end of the day with everybody on board, it will
:11:09. > :11:14.be a better job done. The coroner expressed his sympathies as the jury
:11:14. > :11:17.ruled that the three men died as a result of a tragic accident.
:11:17. > :11:20.Nearly 2,000 people have made claims against South West councils in the
:11:21. > :11:25.last year for injuries and damage to vehicles caused by potholes. The
:11:25. > :11:28.figures have been obtained by BBC Spotlight in a Freedom of
:11:28. > :11:32.Information request. There were more than 600 claims in Devon. Meanwhile
:11:32. > :11:42.Cornwall has paid out £9,000 in compensation. Hamish Marshall
:11:42. > :11:45.reports. They are seemingly never ending
:11:46. > :11:49.problem. Councils tell as they spend hundreds of thousands of pounds
:11:49. > :11:52.repairing potholes. But the ones that are not filled in our costing
:11:52. > :12:00.more money in claims made by drivers and pedestrians. Howard is one of
:12:00. > :12:04.those. A new tyre shredded after he hit a pothole, and after a battle,
:12:04. > :12:12.Cornwall Council paid for the repair. This was the —— there was
:12:12. > :12:17.this tremendous bond, crash, and noise of IOM, machinery. The carp
:12:17. > :12:24.jolted violently to the right, and with that we realised something was
:12:24. > :12:32.wrong. In the last year local councils were served with 1983
:12:32. > :12:51.claims. Devon had 616. Dorset had 454, while there were 424 claims in
:12:51. > :12:53.Somerset. Cornwall have 329 claims, and the council they put the cost of
:12:53. > :12:56.dealing with them including potholes at £97,000. It has paid £9,593 in
:12:56. > :12:56.compensation for injuries to people and damage to vehicles.
:12:57. > :12:58.dealing with them including potholes at £97,000. It At his garage in
:12:58. > :13:05.Exeter, this man sees the effects potholes have on cars. He dealt with
:13:05. > :13:13.two this morning. This is typical of the damage we are seeing. More than
:13:13. > :13:16.likely a pothole, you can see yourself two big cuts straight
:13:16. > :13:22.through it which has effectively ruined that time. Devon County
:13:22. > :13:28.Council says it has about 62,000 potholes so far in 2013, with £7.5
:13:28. > :13:34.million set aside for safety defect and pothole repairs, this financial
:13:34. > :13:37.year. But former policeman and keen motorcyclist worries that country
:13:37. > :13:42.roads are being neglected. When you are travelling down roads which are
:13:42. > :13:48.about seven or eight foot in width, and the vehicle is coming the under
:13:48. > :13:53.way, —— the other way, you have no alternative but to try and miss a
:13:53. > :13:56.pothole and you hit them. To get compensation claimant has to prove
:13:56. > :14:00.that the road had not been properly maintained and that this was the
:14:00. > :14:04.cause of the incident. Councils say all claims are investigated before
:14:04. > :14:09.they are paid out by both themselves and their insurers.
:14:09. > :14:18.A man from Devon has been arrested over the illegal online marketplace
:14:18. > :14:21.Silk Road. The man. In his 50s, along with three other men from
:14:21. > :14:24.Manchester were arrested on suspicion of drug offences.
:14:24. > :14:27.The Silk Road, which has now been closed down, was one of the World's
:14:27. > :14:30.largest websites selling illegal drugs. More arrests by the National

:14:32. > :14:34.Still ahead — the latest casualties of the cuts.
:14:34. > :14:40.Public toilets and CCTV cameras are facing the axe in one part of Devon.
:14:40. > :14:48.And the three—year—old boy so happy to be taking part in the Horse of
:14:48. > :14:51.the Year Show. A bitter row has erupted over a
:14:51. > :14:56.planned development on the outskirts of Truro. The City Council is being
:14:56. > :15:00.accused of wasting taxpayers money fighting the plans. But the local
:15:00. > :15:02.authority has hit back, accusing the development company of "emotional
:15:02. > :15:13.blackmail'" Spotlight's Rebecca Wills has the story.
:15:13. > :15:17.This site on the outskirts of Truro has become a battlefield in the war
:15:17. > :15:21.of words which has broken out between the company which wants to
:15:21. > :15:25.develop it and Truro City Council, which is seeking a legal challenge
:15:25. > :15:30.to the outline planning permission granted a few months ago. Back in
:15:30. > :15:35.July, Cornwall Council approved an application from the company for
:15:35. > :15:39.1,500 new homes, a primary school, care Village, community centre,
:15:39. > :15:47.hotel and 600 space extension to three mile —— park and ride. But the
:15:47. > :15:55.council is now seeking a judicial —— would judicial review of the scheme.
:15:55. > :16:00.I think they are using emotional blackmail, because they are trying
:16:00. > :16:04.to get everybody in tribute to believe we could be missing out on
:16:04. > :16:09.affordable housing. We want to see that, we want to see it in Truro,
:16:09. > :16:16.not in green fields were —— miles away from anything. The company
:16:16. > :16:39.declined to be interviewed, but in a statement the company said:
:16:39. > :16:47.there was a mixed reaction to the plans. Who has got the money in this
:16:47. > :16:51.day and age to go out and pay for them? I don't think it is a bad
:16:51. > :16:56.thing it is being developed, as long as the infrastructure is there. That
:16:56. > :17:02.road is always busy enough as it is. The traffic problem will be the main
:17:02. > :17:09.thing. You put more homes on that, 1,500 homes is virtually 3,000
:17:09. > :17:13.cars. But these opening salvos between developer and council could
:17:13. > :17:17.be just wasted words. The judge has yet to decide whether that are
:17:17. > :17:21.grounds for a judicial review. That decision is pending.
:17:21. > :17:25.As austerity measures start to bite, one area of the South West is set to
:17:25. > :17:28.lose almost half its public toilets and all of the council—run CCTV
:17:28. > :17:31.cameras. Teignbridge Council has decided it can't afford to run these
:17:31. > :17:35.services any more. It's hoping local groups and parish councils will take
:17:35. > :17:44.them on instead. Our South Devon reporter John Ayres reports.
:17:44. > :17:49.We all need to spend a penny from time to time. In Teignbridge it
:17:49. > :17:55.might not be so easy. 17 public toilets could close if no one comes
:17:55. > :18:00.forward to run them. It is more important to keep the toilet rather
:18:00. > :18:06.than save a bit of money. You have the playground over there with lots
:18:06. > :18:14.of small children. It is a right to be able to go to the toilet. It is a
:18:14. > :18:18.matter of hygiene. Today the council scrutinised its own decision to stop
:18:18. > :18:25.the funding. It has decided to press ahead with the cuts. Closing public
:18:25. > :18:29.toilet is an emotive issue. One councillor held up toilet paper and
:18:29. > :19:01.told councillors to bring them —— bring their own.
:19:01. > :19:04.And it was not just toilets. The plug could also be pulled on CCTV,
:19:04. > :19:05.affecting Newton Abbot in particular. Its supporters insisted
:19:05. > :19:08.provides vital evidence for the police. When they turn up, have you
:19:08. > :19:11.got CCTV and there is no CCTV, my answer would be no, and it will be
:19:11. > :19:14.difficult to get a prosecution. I am mystified as to whether this
:19:14. > :19:16.decision was taken, and in my view it is completely the wrong one. The
:19:16. > :19:19.council will not raise council tax. It is forced to make cuts. We have
:19:19. > :19:22.seen our Government grant shrink from 49% to little more than 4%. And
:19:22. > :19:28.we have got to take a look at all our facilities in a measured and
:19:28. > :19:34.sympathetic manner, to see if we can find any cost savings.
:19:34. > :19:38.This toilet might be saved if the parish council takes it over. The
:19:38. > :19:42.other toilets and CCTV services will only survive if other bodies do the
:19:42. > :19:46.same. A new business park in Plymouth,
:19:46. > :19:49.which could create up to 300 jobs, has opened its doors to prospective
:19:49. > :19:53.tenants. The Burrington Business Park is on the former Mother's Pride
:19:53. > :19:57.bakery site which closed last year. Developers hope to turn it into a
:19:57. > :20:07.thriving centre for up to 40 new businesses. Scott Bingham reports.
:20:07. > :20:11.Nick has been running his letting management company for nine years.
:20:11. > :20:15.He currently works from home but is looking to expand. Today as a
:20:15. > :20:20.prospective tenant he got the first chance to look around this new
:20:20. > :20:24.business park. Relocating here, he hopes, will allow him the space to
:20:24. > :20:29.grow and potentially create more jobs. We have been trying to find a
:20:29. > :20:35.suitable alternative to working from home. This was just presented to us
:20:35. > :20:38.as an option. We think it will be good for our clients when they come
:20:38. > :20:43.up here and see us rather than having to beat for a coffee or come
:20:43. > :20:48.round to the house. This is one of the huge spaces here. The developers
:20:48. > :20:55.hope once it is refurbished, this entire site, or 110,000 square feet
:20:55. > :20:59.of it, will be home to around 40 businesses employing some 300
:20:59. > :21:04.people. This neighbouring property is
:21:04. > :21:10.already home to 30 small businesses, and one —— part of the same team
:21:10. > :21:16.snapped up the site next door. It was perfect for our business model,
:21:16. > :21:20.which is to refurbish to a very high standard and attract a mixed use of
:21:20. > :21:26.interesting businesses into the park. Despite the economy, they are
:21:26. > :21:31.confident they can fill the park as well. It is difficult at the moment,
:21:31. > :21:35.but you have to offer something different and keep standards that
:21:35. > :21:39.people expect in the commercial market. This small corner of
:21:39. > :21:43.Plymouth seems to be thriving. A growing call centre already provides
:21:43. > :21:48.a steady stream of customers to the snack bar, and they are looking
:21:48. > :21:51.forward to a few more. Is this the busiest you have seen it?
:21:51. > :21:59.Absolutely, it is growing and growing. My mother has bought a
:21:59. > :22:04.Mercedes. So business is good? Honourable lady yes. The business
:22:04. > :22:12.park will feature a free gym to keep staff in shape, but it might bring,
:22:12. > :22:15.—— competition to. Plans also include an upmarket coffee bar.
:22:15. > :22:18.Exmouth sailors Stevie Morrison and Ben Rhodes have announced an end to
:22:18. > :22:22.their 12—year sailing partnership. The pair, pictured here training in
:22:22. > :22:26.Portland Harbour, race a 49er skiff. They won the world championships in
:22:26. > :22:30.2007, but never quite managed an Olympic medal. They say they now
:22:30. > :22:42.want to explore new opportunities outside of the Olympic sailing
:22:42. > :22:46.classes. A young rider from Devon has
:22:46. > :22:48.qualified for the Horse of the Year Show in Birmingham. Harry
:22:48. > :22:51.Edwards—Brady is, according to his mum, a natural in the saddle and
:22:52. > :22:58.loves competing. And what's most remarkable is he's only three years
:22:58. > :23:03.old, as Leigh Rundle reports. Horses are in Harry's blood. He has
:23:03. > :23:09.loved them ever since he was a few months old. Now he is off to one of
:23:09. > :23:16.them UK's most big —— prestigious equestrian events. Are you excited?
:23:16. > :23:19.Yes. When you are three, it is easy to get distracted, particularly if
:23:19. > :23:25.there are tractors around. But when it really matters, Harry
:23:25. > :23:31.shines. I was just totally amazed, and just so, so proud of him. To
:23:31. > :23:38.have done so well that such a young age in such good competition as
:23:38. > :23:42.well. Having tasted success at other
:23:42. > :23:48.events around the country, the toddler is ready for the next stage
:23:48. > :23:53.of his riding career. I've ever accusations it is a pushy mother
:23:53. > :24:02.behind his success? He would probably end up going to show every
:24:02. > :24:06.day if he could. He loves competing. Horses are all very well, but it is
:24:06. > :24:14.good to develop other skills and keep your career options open.
:24:14. > :24:23.Isn't she cute? He is a star! —— isn't she cute?
:24:23. > :24:31.Are you putting your heating and yet? Don't even mention it! There is
:24:31. > :24:36.a change. Colder area is coming our way.
:24:36. > :24:41.I might put my heating and to keep the house warm. It turns colder over
:24:41. > :24:46.the next 24 hours. Our risk of showers tomorrow, and it is the
:24:46. > :24:50.combined effect of lower temperatures, a bit more of a
:24:50. > :24:55.breeze, so the wind chill will be more of a feature. Lots of cloud on
:24:55. > :25:00.the satellite picture. This is the colder air coming down. That clearer
:25:01. > :25:06.sky brings the drop in those temperatures. At the moment we have
:25:06. > :25:09.a weather system across us. Drizzle and low cloud a problem this
:25:10. > :25:13.evening, but it will move out of the way and then we are between weather
:25:13. > :25:17.fronts by the middle of the day tomorrow. The second of those comes
:25:17. > :25:21.in through the afternoon, early evening, so by the time we get to
:25:21. > :25:26.tomorrow night it will be much colder, and by Thursday, a chilly
:25:26. > :25:34.northerly breeze. Temperatures much lower than they have been this
:25:34. > :25:39.autumn. Looking at that in detail, it is another drizzly evening with
:25:39. > :25:44.low cloud, mist and fog. It is beginning to clear though. Becoming
:25:44. > :25:49.drier, still a few fog patches here and there, and overnight
:25:49. > :25:52.temperatures probably down as low as ten or 11 degrees. Winds becoming
:25:52. > :26:00.north—westerly, they will freshen up during the day. That is how the day
:26:00. > :26:04.starts tomorrow, but as we move through the day we start to see the
:26:04. > :26:08.colder air come in. There will be sunshine tomorrow around the middle
:26:08. > :26:13.of the day. Showers developing, and towards the end of the afternoon
:26:13. > :26:19.another line of showers coming out of south Wales will drift in.
:26:19. > :26:22.Between the two we will see a brisk north—westerly breeze developing,
:26:22. > :26:28.holding the temperatures down. Last week we had temperatures of 19 and
:26:28. > :26:32.20 degrees, for tomorrow 15 or 16 I think will be the best we can
:26:32. > :26:37.expect. With that brisk North West wind it will feel quite a bit
:26:37. > :26:48.colder. For the Isles of Scilly, a few showers and quite breezy. Times
:26:48. > :26:51.of high water. The surf conditions on the south
:26:52. > :26:57.coast will be quite clean, two to three feet here, but between four to
:26:57. > :27:03.six feet and quite choppy on the north coast.
:27:03. > :27:16.The forecast for the coastal waters, then. The wins north—westerly. ——
:27:16. > :27:20.the wins. Generally very good visibility out at sea. The forecast
:27:20. > :27:26.for Thursday is bright and drive. A few showers possible across West
:27:26. > :27:30.Cornwall, similar conditions on Friday, and then cold, breezy, with
:27:30. > :27:35.some outbreaks of rain for the start of the weekend.
:27:35. > :27:41.We have been very lucky up until now. It had to turn colder sometime
:27:41. > :27:44.soon. I don't believe David will put his heating and yet, he is meaner
:27:44. > :27:46.than I am! Good night.
