:10:37. > :10:43.Fortunately, we survived and it is about replicating the UK
:10:44. > :10:47.model and doing that internationally to different countries.
:10:48. > :10:51.So we have been successful here and want to go
:10:52. > :11:01.We are looking for the best prices, the best quality.

:11:49. > :11:55.They may be quite sensitive on the price.
:11:56. > :12:01.That is potentially an effect on our business development.
:12:02. > :12:04.The Russians meanwhile told me they expect to shake hands on a deal,
:12:05. > :12:20.so that is another prospective export about to crystallise.
:12:21. > :12:26.What does this tell us about the state of the economy and recovery in
:12:27. > :12:32.the markets that we are used to exporting into? It has been a long
:12:33. > :12:36.recession. This one now seems to be coming to an end and is encouraging.
:12:37. > :12:40.It is important we are starting to explore because we still have a
:12:41. > :12:43.negative balance of trade. But the signs are good and I think the
:12:44. > :12:47.European markets are picking up and maybe that will engender more
:12:48. > :12:55.confidence about the benefits of been in the European Community. We
:12:56. > :13:00.spoke about Spain and Italy. yes, most of Europe is now picking up and
:13:01. > :13:04.most of America too. There are benefits to the UK and clearly there
:13:05. > :13:07.are benefits to the south`west, too. As an economist, what do you make of
:13:08. > :13:11.the sentiment that was so clearly expressed at the ballot box? Not
:13:12. > :13:16.just did that was so clearly expressed at the ballot box? Lodge
:13:17. > :13:20.estate but in I think that stopping immigration will not solve the UK's
:13:21. > :13:25.economic problems. There have been there for a long time, before we
:13:26. > :13:32.enter the EU. We now face great uncertainty and in the long term, if
:13:33. > :13:37.we come out, there could be serious consequences. Interesting thoughts.
:13:38. > :13:40.Meanwhile, we will look and see what happens with the strength of
:13:41. > :13:42.sterling. If sterling becomes stronger, it will be interesting to
:13:43. > :13:47.see what happens with exports. The family of a woman killed
:13:48. > :13:50.in a coach crash near Looe have described her as a one`in`a`million

:14:57. > :15:00.sister. Miah likes to leave little notes around the house telling us
:15:01. > :15:03.how much she loves us. One day I stumbled upon a poem she had written
:15:04. > :15:08.for her sister and it was in her bedroom. Another day, I found a
:15:09. > :15:11.little message about how life would not be the same without her. I
:15:12. > :15:21.suddenly realised in a flash that that was the basis for precisely the
:15:22. > :15:26.kind but we had looking for. When Miah was born with Down's Syndrome,
:15:27. > :15:32.they searched for a book to tell her sister why she needed extra support.
:15:33. > :15:36.But now Miah has written I love you natty an introduction to the

:16:14. > :16:18.the shops. if I stand by can think about it, we as a mum, it makes me
:16:19. > :16:23.very emotional. I think is very simple, little piece of paper will
:16:24. > :16:26.change lives and will help people bond with their babies more quickly
:16:27. > :16:36.and they will not waste precious time. Miah and family hope that this
:16:37. > :16:37.book will help parents and children understand Down's Syndrome instead
:16:38. > :16:48.of being afraid of it. Now,

:17:00. > :17:02.locals say he's someone they can't do without and losing him would mean

:17:41. > :17:44.helpful and loves the village. He wants to be here and we want him to
:17:45. > :17:47.stay here. Ray himself is a little embarrassed by all of this and did
:17:48. > :17:50.not really want to be on the television. He is being removed
:17:51. > :17:54.because it would appear that postal workers with the longest service get
:17:55. > :18:01.to choose their own rounds. And as someone with 30 years under their
