from the BBC News at Six. So it's goodbye from me, and | :00:00. | :00:14. | |
No cut in the cost of fuel. Most rural areas of the region will lose | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
out under plans to reduce prices at the pumps. | :00:20. | :00:22. | |
Good evening. Only one filling station in North Devon would see a | :00:23. | :00:26. | |
cut in duty under plans submitted to Europe. It's angered drivers who | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
think it should be extended to other rural areas of the region. | :00:30. | :00:38. | |
I think we ought to have it. I want to know why the price of | :00:39. | :00:39. | |
I think we ought to have it. I want to know why the price petrol is so | :00:40. | :00:40. | |
high here when Hello. It is Also tonight. Not everywhere | :00:41. | :00:43. | |
else. Most foreign forces are scheduled to leave Afghanistan by | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
the end of next year but one very special member of the British | :00:48. | :00:48. | |
contingent is already home. else. Most foreign forces are | :00:49. | :00:50. | |
scheduled to leave Sunny's ability to sniff out roadside bombs is said | :00:51. | :00:53. | |
to have saved countless lives ` we'll find out about his new home in | :00:54. | :00:58. | |
Cornwall. And we are the regional news. Where | :00:59. | :01:02. | |
else can you tell jokes in traditional dialect? | :01:03. | :01:17. | |
Only one small area in the region is to be allowed to apply for a | :01:18. | :01:24. | |
discount to bring down the cost of fuel for motorists in rural areas in | :01:25. | :01:27. | |
the latest announcement from the Government. The rest of the South | :01:28. | :01:30. | |
West is excluded under strict rules set by the Treasury. It's people | :01:31. | :01:33. | |
living in Scotland who could benefit most, with seven areas judged to | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
meet the rigorous criteria for a five pence a litre discount off | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
fuel. Just three have qualified in England, one in Cumbria, one in | :01:41. | :01:43. | |
North Yorkshire, and Lynton, that's the EX35 postcode area in North | :01:44. | :01:46. | |
Devon, where there is just one fuel station. The Isles of Scilly already | :01:47. | :01:52. | |
benefit from a fuel duty discount. We'll have reaction from across the | :01:53. | :01:55. | |
region tonight. First, Hamish Marshall reports from Lynton. | :01:56. | :02:05. | |
It is too pricey to fill appear in court on to the government and it is | :02:06. | :02:08. | |
the only place on the mainland South where it may help. This garage says | :02:09. | :02:14. | |
it keeps fuel prices as low as it can, to encourage people to use the | :02:15. | :02:18. | |
shop. But it is still higher than the lowest prices elsewhere. The | :02:19. | :02:23. | |
owner believes 5p per litre discount would have widespread benefits. Not | :02:24. | :02:26. | |
only will it help our business but all other small businesses, and also | :02:27. | :02:32. | |
the local economy. We are used by the different services like the fire | :02:33. | :02:35. | |
brigade and the police service. Obviously, every 5p that they don't | :02:36. | :02:39. | |
have to spend on fuel duty will go back into the coffers. Officially, | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
the discounters for the whole postcode area. But this is its only | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
filling station. The others are more than ten miles away. That's one | :02:50. | :02:52. | |
reason why the government feels a discount is needed valid. Rather | :02:53. | :03:07. | |
than just putting a fiver into get to town, where we can fill up where | :03:08. | :03:10. | |
it is cheaper, we can put 20 quid and because it would be cheaper. It | :03:11. | :03:13. | |
will work well for both of us, I think. This taxi driver is keen to | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
wipe off 5p off the litre. I am doing about 38,000 miles a year on | :03:19. | :03:23. | |
average and that mounts up to a lot of diesel that I'm using. 1p Alito | :03:24. | :03:28. | |
would make a difference. Good news here but even those who will gain | :03:29. | :03:31. | |
will question why other places will not benefit as well. The government | :03:32. | :03:36. | |
says it has got a good body of evidence to support its case. A | :03:37. | :03:40. | |
final decision would be made by the European commission on whether this | :03:41. | :03:44. | |
plan can go ahead. That is expected sometime next year. | :03:45. | :03:51. | |
Earlier this week it was revealed that the government had been talking | :03:52. | :03:55. | |
to petrol retailers in Devon and Cornwall about its application to | :03:56. | :03:58. | |
cut fuel duty in rural areas. So the news today that just one town has | :03:59. | :04:01. | |
been put forward has frustrated many. David George has been speaking | :04:02. | :04:05. | |
to motorists in some of our farthest reaches. | :04:06. | :04:12. | |
Today, fuel prices here are a few pence per litre more than they are | :04:13. | :04:17. | |
ten miles away in Penzance. The price has been higher but not for | :04:18. | :04:20. | |
long enough to trigger inclusion in the government 's proposed fuel duty | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
reduction scheme. These moors are rugged and remote but apparently not | :04:26. | :04:29. | |
remote enough. There are few petrol stations left. Here, the pumps have | :04:30. | :04:35. | |
been replaced with flowerbeds. Bus services in this area are under | :04:36. | :04:39. | |
threat with one operator pulling out of some routes within days. People | :04:40. | :04:43. | |
who live here so using a car is becoming more and more essential. | :04:44. | :04:49. | |
You do, you need a car, yeah. Most people have got cars, they try them | :04:50. | :04:56. | |
because they need them. I start work at six o'clock in the morning and if | :04:57. | :05:01. | |
I didn't have a car, I wouldn't be able to work. The local MP has | :05:02. | :05:05. | |
successfully campaigned for the fuel duty reduction on the Isles of | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Scilly. He believes with greater distances to travel, West Cornwall | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
motorists also deserve the savings. Yet it was his colleague, the Chief | :05:14. | :05:18. | |
Treasury Secretary, who has left West Cornwall. You must be fed up | :05:19. | :05:24. | |
about this. No, I am... I never give up. The fact is, I think the | :05:25. | :05:31. | |
government, partly as a result of EU regulations which I think need to be | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
looked at, art in a bit of a bind, taking a 2`dimensional view. I am | :05:38. | :05:47. | |
asking them to look at this matter again. Danny Alexanders Highland | :05:48. | :05:53. | |
constituency will be part of the proposed scheme. He says he knows | :05:54. | :05:57. | |
that fuel prices tend to be highest in areas where a car is most needed. | :05:58. | :06:02. | |
People in West Cornwall agree. They say they should be given the same | :06:03. | :06:09. | |
help to keep their vehicles running. David George is still in St Just | :06:10. | :06:13. | |
tonight, he's at the Square. David, do we know any more about why West | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
Cornwall hasn't been selected for this rebate? | :06:18. | :06:24. | |
Yes, the Treasury have told us about at least two more criteria involved | :06:25. | :06:28. | |
in choosing these areas. One is that they must be at least 100 miles from | :06:29. | :06:34. | |
the nearest oil refinery. Clearly, the whole of West Cornwall qualifies | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
on that score. The other is about population density for some region. | :06:40. | :06:44. | |
It wasn't me any more than about 135 people per square kilometre. This is | :06:45. | :06:47. | |
quite a densely populated area, despite being so far from the rest | :06:48. | :06:53. | |
of the region. That is possibly where West Cornwall has fallen by | :06:54. | :06:56. | |
the wayside. Well, that's the view from rural | :06:57. | :06:59. | |
Cornwall which, like most of the region, won't benefit from this | :07:00. | :07:02. | |
scheme. Joining me now is our political editor Martyn Oates. A lot | :07:03. | :07:06. | |
of people will obviously be disappointed. What's the government | :07:07. | :07:11. | |
got to say to them? To begin with, remember that people | :07:12. | :07:17. | |
in Dorset and Somerset will not `` were not allowed to apply for this | :07:18. | :07:21. | |
rebate, presumably because the government took the view they would | :07:22. | :07:24. | |
not meet the criteria. It's interesting, given that is the | :07:25. | :07:28. | |
case, that Clinton is the one place which has been selected because that | :07:29. | :07:33. | |
huge chunk of rural Exmoor is pretty much identical, geographically, but | :07:34. | :07:38. | |
they couldn't even bid for it. Devon and Cornwall were among only six | :07:39. | :07:42. | |
counties in England to be allowed to make a case for themselves. I think | :07:43. | :07:47. | |
that drove up expectations. But ministers all along have been very | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
clear that the rules are very stringent and it would be assessed | :07:51. | :07:57. | |
on very localised basis. Something which Danny Alexander has repeated | :07:58. | :08:01. | |
today. The list of times here is selected according to a series of | :08:02. | :08:05. | |
strict and objective criteria, that are based on what we think the | :08:06. | :08:08. | |
European commission will need to know about in order to approve the | :08:09. | :08:12. | |
scheme. It would be nice to have a longer list but on the other hand, | :08:13. | :08:15. | |
what matters most is having something that we've got a | :08:16. | :08:18. | |
reasonable chance of being agreed and to make happen. | :08:19. | :08:23. | |
People were hopeful it would be across much more of the region. Were | :08:24. | :08:28. | |
people getting carried away early in the week with the idea they might | :08:29. | :08:31. | |
get this rebate? The third reaction there from Andrew | :08:32. | :08:35. | |
George today. As recently as August, he seemed to think it was a foregone | :08:36. | :08:38. | |
conclusion that Cornwall would be recommended for at least a slice of | :08:39. | :08:43. | |
this. Of course, as Danny Alexander reminded us, any rejoicing in Linton | :08:44. | :08:49. | |
would be premature because we've got to await the European commission and | :08:50. | :08:55. | |
their decision next year. Lots of you have been telling us | :08:56. | :08:59. | |
what you think about this story. Carl emails to say, I think the | :09:00. | :09:03. | |
South West of England should be the first place to have the 5p off a | :09:04. | :09:06. | |
litre. The government knows nothing about living in rural areas. Mary | :09:07. | :09:10. | |
says, why on earth should Lynton get the fuel subsidy? It's a town, not a | :09:11. | :09:14. | |
rural area. I live in a truly rural hamlet, with no shops, no pub, and | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
no bus service. And on Facebook Simon writes, yet again this so | :09:19. | :09:21. | |
called Government of ours has shown that they don't really care about | :09:22. | :09:24. | |
rural communities such as those in Cornwall. The fuel rebate should be | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
extended to all rural communities. Thank you to all of you who in | :09:28. | :09:31. | |
touch. Now could an incinerator be coming | :09:32. | :09:35. | |
to town near you? Five sites in Devon have been suggested as | :09:36. | :09:37. | |
possible locations to turn waste into energy. The county produces two | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
million tonnes of rubbish a year, but with landfill becoming too | :09:42. | :09:43. | |
costly and environmentally unacceptable, planners are looking | :09:44. | :09:46. | |
to develop a range of alternatives. Our Environment correspondent Adrian | :09:47. | :09:58. | |
Campbell reports. We all produce vast quantities of | :09:59. | :10:02. | |
rubbish. In Devon, planners are now looking at ways to reduce the amount | :10:03. | :10:07. | |
and then efficiently dispose of the rest. The plan being considered says | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
that by 2031, the county will have 440,000 tonnes of waste a year which | :10:14. | :10:17. | |
could be turned into energy. At the moment, 213,000 tonnes is already | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
accounted for and it might be possible to produce more energy from | :10:23. | :10:26. | |
facilities which have already been given planning consent. But there is | :10:27. | :10:33. | |
still a potential gap of up to 224,000 tonnes requiring new | :10:34. | :10:37. | |
facilities. Holes in the ground are vanishing rapidly and in the near | :10:38. | :10:41. | |
future, we are going to run out, so we've got to look at alternative | :10:42. | :10:46. | |
means of disposing. If we can use waste as energy, this makes sense. | :10:47. | :10:51. | |
Devon is being brash has been consulting about his strategy for | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
the future. A number of sites around the county have been suggested for a | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
range of different energy from waste technologies. But in Tiverton, close | :10:59. | :11:07. | |
to one potential side, some people are unhappy. My house is there, the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
wind in the right direction, I am sure you will get with being next to | :11:13. | :11:19. | |
it. It is a no`no for me. I'm retired, enjoying retirement and I'm | :11:20. | :11:22. | |
very sad and second to see this area being destroyed by all this | :11:23. | :11:28. | |
development. From what we've heard, it is not as bad as some people | :11:29. | :11:32. | |
think but when you go and read some of the stuff, it is unclear what you | :11:33. | :11:36. | |
could end up with. It could be worse than what they are actually saying. | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
Plants which digestible gasifier waste are set to be more important | :11:42. | :11:46. | |
in the future and Devon is deliberately keeping its options | :11:47. | :11:49. | |
open. Over the next 20 years or so, newer technologies will come into | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
use the planners and politicians will have two persuade us they are | :11:53. | :12:00. | |
all the best option. Still to come: David has the weekend | :12:01. | :12:04. | |
forecast and there is another international for the Exeter Chiefs. | :12:05. | :12:07. | |
In fact there's an international feel to the sport tonight. Join me | :12:08. | :12:13. | |
later to hear about my world`record year! | :12:14. | :12:15. | |
And ever been left none`the`wiser, even after the joke? We'll have | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
another punch line from the past. Among the troops in Iraq and | :12:18. | :12:33. | |
Afghanistan in recent years has been a dog ` who's played a key role in | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
the conflicts. Sunny can detect roadside bombs, protecting | :12:39. | :12:40. | |
servicemen and women he was with from deadly attack. | :12:41. | :12:44. | |
And now after his active service, he's finally having some rest and | :12:45. | :12:47. | |
relaxation. He's been adopted by the Cornish soldier who developed a | :12:48. | :12:50. | |
close bond with him while they served together at Camp Bastion. | :12:51. | :12:53. | |
Spotlight's Julie Fisher's been to meet him. | :12:54. | :13:04. | |
Roadside bombs have killed hundreds of British troops in Afghanistan. | :13:05. | :13:10. | |
IED sniffer dogs have stopped even worse tragedy. From the front line, | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
4000 miles away, to Callington, ten`year`old Sonny is one war that | :13:21. | :13:23. | |
truly loving every second of retirement with the Army reservist | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
who fell in love with him in the heat of the Afghan desert. They have | :13:27. | :13:31. | |
saved countless lives, yeah. They are worth their weight in gold, they | :13:32. | :13:35. | |
really are. They deserve all the credit. But it is no stand to Sonny | :13:36. | :13:44. | |
has bonded with. Fantastic what he has done. It makes you proud, | :13:45. | :13:54. | |
doesn't it? He is fantastic. Nobody knows about what he has done. His | :13:55. | :14:00. | |
biggest job now is playing fetch. He has been out of the army for two | :14:01. | :14:04. | |
years but still sniffs for IED is, even in a Cornish countryside. He | :14:05. | :14:13. | |
runs around, does a loop up and down. It is his instinct to go up | :14:14. | :14:19. | |
and down all the time. His days as a dog with a dangerous job are over. | :14:20. | :14:27. | |
He is glad he is year, I think. He is fantastic. I don't know what I | :14:28. | :14:37. | |
would do without him. And he knows it as well, I think. | :14:38. | :14:43. | |
Onto tonight's sport and Dave's been to Plymouth Life Centre to join Ruta | :14:44. | :14:46. | |
Meilutyte who's just come back from the swimming World Cup with three | :14:47. | :14:55. | |
more gold medals. Here at the Plymouth swimming pool, | :14:56. | :14:58. | |
it is where this swimmer is warming down after her daily morning swim. | :14:59. | :15:03. | |
This is where she trains and she is fresh from winning another three | :15:04. | :15:05. | |
gold medals in the World Cup this week. We will be talking to her in | :15:06. | :15:10. | |
the moment but first, Exeter Chiefs go for another win in the European | :15:11. | :15:14. | |
Rugby cup. This time, it's a Glasgow Warriors this weekend after another | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
good week at Sandy Park. With Tom Johnson winning a recall for the | :15:20. | :15:22. | |
England squad, and his back row colleagues in cracking form, they | :15:23. | :15:29. | |
are three different characters. In rugby, there are teams within a | :15:30. | :15:34. | |
team. The back row combination of Ben White, and Tom Johnson, has been | :15:35. | :15:38. | |
making a name for itself in recent weeks. And the England man was quick | :15:39. | :15:43. | |
to praise his young number eight. He is a beast, isn't it? The size of | :15:44. | :15:47. | |
him. He grew up in Zimbabwe and they make them strong over there. He has | :15:48. | :15:50. | |
been knocking people live a beast, isn't it? The size of him. He grew | :15:51. | :15:53. | |
up in Zimbabwe and they make them strong over there. He has been | :15:54. | :15:56. | |
knocking people over for fun. The modest player is not letting the | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
attention given to his head. I've got a hard enough job to stay in the | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
team so I will just keep my head down and take it week by week. The | :16:04. | :16:06. | |
last member of the trio was Ben White, who has broken into the | :16:07. | :16:09. | |
starting line`up and has developed quite a useful try scoring habit. | :16:10. | :16:13. | |
But too many bangs on the head may have affected his memory. It doesn't | :16:14. | :16:22. | |
do me justice! You've got to take them, haven't you? The best back | :16:23. | :16:26. | |
rows worked together as a unit and know each other inside out but how | :16:27. | :16:29. | |
well do these three know each other off the field? Ben White, he is | :16:30. | :16:35. | |
folic or challenged and fortunately and tries to spend time covering up | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
at the back. Has to be Tom Johnson. Ben White. Hang on, sorry. Ben | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
White... He would be dancing round to his... Maybe some things there | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
are better off not knowing. Yeovil town Hunstanton first win in | :17:01. | :17:06. | |
the championship. After a fortnight 's break, the manager is keen to | :17:07. | :17:11. | |
start afresh by beating Brighton in Somerset. Where will Scott Bennett | :17:12. | :17:17. | |
play when they go to Scunthorpe? Will Bennett revert to midfield or | :17:18. | :17:23. | |
defence? John Sheridan takes his struggling team to Hartlepool with | :17:24. | :17:27. | |
Marvin Morgan facing an operation on a shoulder problem. At this player | :17:28. | :17:32. | |
looks to his third goal in four games as Mansfield town come to the | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
region. She is suitably relaxed with a total | :17:39. | :17:41. | |
of nine gold medals in big tournaments this year. Hello. Three | :17:42. | :17:48. | |
more gold medals at the World Cup in Russia. How did you achieve that? I | :17:49. | :17:56. | |
have no idea. I didn't have the best preparation and I wasn't expecting | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
to do so amazingly. This was all done in a 25 metre pool which is | :18:05. | :18:08. | |
half the size of the one behind you. Was it easier for you? Yeah, I | :18:09. | :18:19. | |
mean, the races are shorter. There is more underwater work and less | :18:20. | :18:23. | |
actual swimming than in the 50 metre pool. You have to be more skilful | :18:24. | :18:27. | |
with the tins. Would you regard this year as your best to date? Breaking | :18:28. | :18:33. | |
the world record in 100 metres 50 metres breaststroke in Barcelona and | :18:34. | :18:40. | |
then I went to the world juniors. I had an amazing season. It has been | :18:41. | :18:49. | |
my best year so far. Whatever you take part in, I am sure you will do | :18:50. | :18:56. | |
very well. Thank you. Imogen Sills tried to a a world youth title to | :18:57. | :19:02. | |
her recently won European crown on Sunday. Six days of competition will | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
determine whether she can do it. We wish her well. | :19:09. | :19:14. | |
To one of the more unusual stories of the week. A family in Dorset had | :19:15. | :19:18. | |
a bit of a surprise when they discovered what was almost a perfect | :19:19. | :19:22. | |
image of an owl on a window at their home. It turns out that a bird | :19:23. | :19:25. | |
crashed into the glass leaving behind an imprint of its body. As | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
John Ayres reports it survived its ordeal although it may have had a | :19:30. | :19:32. | |
bit of a headache. It is beautiful, if not a bit eerie. | :19:33. | :19:36. | |
This image was first spotted by a friend of Lisa, who thought it might | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
have been stencilled on by her children but apparently not. An owl | :19:41. | :19:44. | |
has flown into the window, leaving its mark and it appears it has | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
survived. I absolutely love owls. I really didn't want the owl to have | :19:51. | :19:54. | |
been hurt. There is nobody or sign of the owl. We are hoping it got | :19:55. | :19:59. | |
stunned and may maybe because it had its whole body against the window, | :20:00. | :20:03. | |
rather than just its head, in a way that means it is more likely that it | :20:04. | :20:10. | |
is OK. This isn't an uncommon phenomenon. Each year, tens of | :20:11. | :20:14. | |
thousands of birds fly into Windows because they don't see the glass. | :20:15. | :20:17. | |
This impression is pretty special. What happens is the birds, their | :20:18. | :20:24. | |
feathers are covered in a kind of dust. When they hit something solid, | :20:25. | :20:27. | |
they will leave a mark on the window. I have seen this before in | :20:28. | :20:31. | |
one or two occasions with owls but the impression this one has left is | :20:32. | :20:34. | |
amazing. You can see all the feather detail, all the feathering and | :20:35. | :20:39. | |
everything. It's quite something. Lisa is now hoping the image will | :20:40. | :20:42. | |
last as long as possible. I don't want to touch it or rabbit because I | :20:43. | :20:50. | |
don't want it to be damaged. It is so divine. I feel like it is | :20:51. | :20:57. | |
touching a work of art. He would never go into a museum and touch a | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
painting. That is how I feel about this. So far, it has lasted a couple | :21:02. | :21:05. | |
of weeks. They are hoping it might stay a little while longer. | :21:06. | :21:12. | |
We spend quite a lot of our day trying to bring you the true essence | :21:13. | :21:16. | |
of a region here but after meeting two women in their 80s from Dartmoor | :21:17. | :21:20. | |
we realise we may as well give up and go home. | :21:21. | :21:23. | |
They know their bibble from their buckerly, their churn from their | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
clathers. But imagine when they get together with traditional dialect | :21:27. | :21:28. | |
speakers from around the country in Exeter tomorrow. Carole Madge has | :21:29. | :21:31. | |
been listening to our representatives in that lively | :21:32. | :21:33. | |
conversation ` they speak proper Debn. | :21:34. | :21:40. | |
I think that's a better start doing something for tea you know. I'll | :21:41. | :21:44. | |
make some scones. You sit down and do some apples. This is not a | :21:45. | :21:48. | |
novelty to these two sisters, it's just the language they were brought | :21:49. | :21:52. | |
up with and love. We are very proud of our accident. We belong to the | :21:53. | :21:56. | |
WRI and there are a lot of new members there. We are the only two | :21:57. | :22:00. | |
speaking with a Devon Jackson. Then you feel conscious of it. Isn't that | :22:01. | :22:05. | |
right? We are the only two. And we are the eldest, too! Yes, yes. Now | :22:06. | :22:10. | |
they treat us with respect excavation mark they do. Carry some | :22:11. | :22:14. | |
of the stories you will have told within your dialect. There is a dear | :22:15. | :22:20. | |
old couple, I saw her in Kempton yesterday. I said, hope EU? I said, | :22:21. | :22:26. | |
not very good, Martha what's up? I'm having a job with George. George can | :22:27. | :22:33. | |
hear very well. I took him to the doctor and I sat him down in the | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
surgery and I said that he is, Doctor, I've brought him in about | :22:37. | :22:41. | |
his urine. The doctor looked at him and said, have you brought a | :22:42. | :22:48. | |
specimen? He said, I couldn't not come without. It's this here `` hear | :22:49. | :22:57. | |
hear. That is Devon should dialect. Ie doing some bacon for tea? I've | :22:58. | :23:03. | |
nearly finished... Now a younger member of the family has taken up | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
the story. HE SPEAKS is it a shame it is dying out? If | :23:06. | :23:25. | |
they applied for a job and spoke like this, they would never get it. | :23:26. | :23:30. | |
But it is a pity. It is sad. That is why it is nice they are trying to | :23:31. | :23:35. | |
get people interested in it again. You see? They do look good. What did | :23:36. | :23:44. | |
happen to the farmer who bought the lavatory rush as a last`minute | :23:45. | :23:46. | |
present? good evening. We have got some rich | :23:47. | :24:10. | |
whether to look forward to this weekend. Certainly, it is mild. That | :24:11. | :24:15. | |
is perhaps the main theme. It will be breezy and we will seize on the | :24:16. | :24:19. | |
showers but we will also see some sunny spells. It's not a write`off. | :24:20. | :24:24. | |
We should see temperatures up to 17 or 18 degrees. The air is coming | :24:25. | :24:27. | |
from a long wayside. In fact, this stripe of cloud stretches from | :24:28. | :24:32. | |
Scotland, down the West coast of Spain and Portugal. That really is | :24:33. | :24:35. | |
the source of the air at the moment. It is tempered by sea | :24:36. | :24:47. | |
temperatures as it travels along way. It is full of warmth and | :24:48. | :24:49. | |
moisture. It will bring rain overnight. That rain band will cross | :24:50. | :24:52. | |
us through the night into the eastern side of England during the | :24:53. | :24:54. | |
small hours of the morning. It is replaced by showers which we will | :24:55. | :24:57. | |
have on Saturday and Sunday. Plenty of ice was so quite a breezy affair | :24:58. | :25:00. | |
as well. By the time we get to Monday, we still have the same | :25:01. | :25:02. | |
source software. It's from a long wayside. Some more persistent rain | :25:03. | :25:05. | |
on Monday morning before it turns more showery through the afternoon. | :25:06. | :25:09. | |
But for tonight at least, the rain is a bit more persistent and quite | :25:10. | :25:13. | |
widespread. This was earlier today when we had some brightness across | :25:14. | :25:19. | |
Exmoor. There were clearer skies and some glimpses of sunshine briefly. | :25:20. | :25:24. | |
Parts of us had a reasonable day, a fine day, despite all the cloud. | :25:25. | :25:28. | |
Further south, as we hop across the border into Devon, plenty of water | :25:29. | :25:32. | |
after the recent rainfall but also blue sky. A bit of blue sky in now, | :25:33. | :25:43. | |
the fad has become quite extensive and is starting to fall quite | :25:44. | :25:46. | |
heavily in a few places. The rain band moves steadily overnight | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
tonight and once that starts to happen, it begins to dry up from | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
Cornwall first and then into West Devon. A bit misty over the moors. | :25:53. | :25:58. | |
Still quite breezy with winds from the site. The overnight | :25:59. | :26:01. | |
temperatures, unusually high. 15 degrees in a few places overnight | :26:02. | :26:04. | |
tonight. That is above the daytime maximum temperature we should be | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
seeing at this time of year. As for tomorrow, yes, we will season | :26:09. | :26:11. | |
showers. In the middle of the day, they could be quite potent. Either | :26:12. | :26:16. | |
side of that line of showers, we will season sunshine and a brisk | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
south`westerly breeze. A top temperature of 16 or 17. For the | :26:22. | :26:29. | |
eyes of silly, probably in a few spells of sunshine. `` the Isles of | :26:30. | :26:30. | |
Scilly. Plymouth... Challenging surfing conditions for | :26:31. | :26:51. | |
our servers. The reason for that is the strength of wind. It has been | :26:52. | :26:55. | |
blowing from the South West. Occasionally, seven, showers are | :26:56. | :27:01. | |
otherwise, mainly fair. But the forecast for Sunday, showers. | :27:02. | :27:04. | |
Showers again on Monday after the morning rain clears out of the way. | :27:05. | :27:08. | |
A little bit cooler on Tuesday. Not too bad because in between those | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
showers, it should hopefully be sunny. Have a nice weekend. | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
Traditional music is also being celebrated this weekend as part of | :27:17. | :27:21. | |
dialect Dave so we will leave you with a wonderful sounds of the | :27:22. | :27:23. | |
melodeon played on Dartmoor by Thomas White and Danny Watkins. Have | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
a good weekend. I buy. `` goodbye. | :27:31. | :27:34. |
