That you don t want to find yet but what if I just would ring that we did it. I don t know whether. It s if you enjoy the experience yeah yeah yeah. But I would ask about more about breakfast and see how we got on. It in squinting a little bit before that today you can choose your friends but you can choose your family that that s how the old adage goes well explore that more with that honey Lancaster James after the. Change to carry us through this morning not least of which. Think is moving quite well I. Want to. Be a one I forsake says I what continues that just by seeking only $17.00. Find some problems between King s Cross and the whole of both directions at due to a lack of rolling stock. Any updates happen the main time to call us out of all 301230181. There is now tomorrow morning. With Mike PAPA 9 o clock Mondays on Monday should my soon to be discussing the brand new Dr Who yes I am so without the saving myself I will hear about the decline of local newspapers and the middle room I m calling on smokers to quit stories out to learn to breathe and talk again if you do smoke a story with my PA tomorrow morning B.B.C. Take night it will 12 keep in Seaside County Durham and North Yorkshire on the move B.B.C. . Present is a going back to school maybe they can tell us if your school is doing something special for Children In Need to see us. And we might just send one of our present to come see it and if that s not enough they ll even bring them so tell us what your sick email teased up studios at B.B.C. Dot co dot U.K. . B.B.C. T S. O. O. O. O O O O C. Good. Plan. On Norwalk of you don t bridge Have you brought the new classes just bend them. On the are a drop them between money and try to catch traffic we have thunder thighs and. Say that all of those years of playing cricket have come back a whole exactly cricket and hockey to fix it well let s do a little bit better but it s better and I don t know what I did going to just in case I might test 4 years ago when I went to night testing and so after the can do something about that and never went to do anything about it at all and went to have an eye test it out another I test so I ve now got the opportunity to go get some specs myself which would be interesting Carol this is going on right now I ll just give you but I actually thought my eyes were far worse than there were when I don t want to got them tested I expect them to be hideously deficient in the way what do you still read a number plate if they were correct distant and I can I see I can read that it s like yeah I can read that written very small writing which I we it s like deficiency in your eyes but you know we can make it all better but we think you re expecting too much of the self so. Rather than ripping you off yes I m going to kind of like this I m going to lower the bar. Even if I like I said the bana totally low anyway so I can overachieve on a daily basis but I m going to set even lower so odds I feel better about better about myself it s when you ve got that double whammy when you re young you short sighted so you need glasses to see long long things yeah and then you need glasses the see. The do the movie head back move your arm away or some kind of thing that you take every down again so I probably did the right thing done. But you have 50 classes that Afghanistan got a slight bend in the mud and all I need to go was a little kink taking up a bit of paint as well. Now I do need some more Anyway there s a scratch to pieces. A go a little inside bridge and Dave with you through until 12 o clock gardening L from 11 o clock this morning he will be states and then you ve got coffee on the wireless 12 until 2 Columbine and his vintage one from till 5 in Alex all of her songs from the shows everything just where it should be from 5 o clock until 7 this evening now you can choose your friends but you can t choose your family that s how the adage goes and apparently we don t call friends more than we like our family so new research says his honey Lancaster James. It s true and I think what s interesting about they said this is arising out of some new research from paying it they wanted to study what it is about friendships that are different from say family and I was quite fascinated by some of these findings said they found 2 thirds of this that s about 65 percent of us say we trust our closest friends more than we do our own relatives which I thought was quite interesting and also on our for each the typical Brit has about 554 friends online actually but actually only about 5 true and close friendships in real life I think if you get the 5 I think you re doing really yes really well yeah I agree with you I mean you can typically count on one hand the number of really close friends that you actually try not to let you down yet be there for you that you d let them see you in your pajamas when you ve got a terrible cold or you know when you d go you d go out for regular coffees and meals with them and actually tell them about your every day life whereas obviously those friendships that we have all mine are more people that we re perhaps producing the the edited highlights of our life these are friends and these are people who have poor family question and the going on collecting click yes there s another one you know you re such a saint Well you re going to say to me a half 1000 Fresnel you have and you have to know that people who pressed Yes And that s and all these people it s I think it s difficult isn t it because we don t have a discourse of a different term for it we re still using the same 10 as a friend but of course the kind of friend you happen every day life who you re going to dinner where then you re mixing it is very different from the kind of friendly betted callers that you have on social media but I do think there is some value actually in having both so for example I travel about quite a lot on my in my the course of my work and it s nice sometimes to be able to just go on to. Facebook or whatever I mean you know Twitter all Instagram and connect up with those people who are you know very far removed everybody s geographically located all over the world but it s nice to be able to connect with people and actually I ve gone to places where I dunno I ve been travelling in the States for example and I ve put a little status saying who s around in this location and it s nice to be able to connect with that but that s not the same as that kind of reading core group of friends that you have who you really want to invest in those relationships and for whom you d feel quite stressed if there was a little bit of tension or a little bit of disharmony among you and you of your closest friends that s very different I think one of things that you mentioned that was close friends the ones the encounter on one hand they re the ones you don t mind seeing you don t mind being seen in your pajamas Yeah. And you slobs. Well this thing even if you wanted it you know arms into a slot on the settee watch a bit say they. Don t feel dazed and if you press me you don t care because he does not judge you for what you look like in Cap contrast here to online relationships and online friendships because this is me going to people going are going to be goes again took them but yeah. But I think that social media is dangerous for giving people false perceptions of what life should be like and subsequently fills them with nothing more than disappointment that they haven t achieved the the 6 packs to make that the guy who spends all day work you know in the gym has the beautiful house that the lady who spends all day rearranging her furniture. Has the fantastic males that the the the woman who or the guy who s is a chef in the kitchen and that that s what he does that s what he loves Essentially I m saying if you presented with 5 or 6 people s life s works it takes a long time to get a 6 pack Yeah that I would know. It takes and takes a long time to master an instrument it takes a long time. To get your house absolutely perfect if you put in all the money into just great holidays and you can t afford to have a perfect house and we re presented with all of these unrealistic. Presentations of people s lives what you want to rubbish Yeah well actually what they do in is that on the setting as well some of them terrified of the thought that somebody from their social media contact would have a really good system and so yes I think there is an element of that you know to social media that obviously people are putting just those glossy edited filtered tie lights of their lives and you write that then you end up getting this perception everybody s leading this glamorous lifestyle but I think it s great that nowadays we are having these conversations that says actually that isn t what every day life is like and I think we have to not be too cynical about technology because I do think that technology also has a real positive part to play in friendships as well we often talk about the negative aspects and you re right to put to highlight those but what about the positive aspects of how technology can help so for example I know that I m in touch with people from school days and I ve met up with people that I haven t seen in years purely because we ve connected up on social media and I would have lost those relationships so I do think there is a positive element and then you think about well you know apps like ping it for example how you know you can actually reduce the tension in your friendship circles because we will probably be on those nights out where you go for dinner with your friends you having a fantastic time and then the bill comes and there s that old quote moment old D.-A who s going to take responsibility for working that s how and how we re going to split it in and who s going to own who money and all of that and things like paying it you know reduce the tension in those circles so I think we have to give credit where credit s due to technology to acts to social media and the positive that it can bring to your friendships as well as the negatives but you re right to be mindful about those things but just I think we should you know really forget that there are also positive elements. Such a big it s made. On a. Budget cannot call. Out on shooting. I don t know what is the. I ll give you no longer. A good model is Take that I m sure lame they can rock where they want it why can t how they can it would be getting tickets for next year. Also made out that I like them I wouldn t be buying it would be spending money on the. F.B.I. On a Saturn I will tell you to go to concerts you haven t got time to go to concerts you see if there were cheaper you got them all because I find myself these days. Enjoying the 1st 45 minutes after a 45 minute 5 minutes of a music gig going right there. Become kind of ready for that she can get up there and it s not that bothered about hanging around for the full gig comedy different cat with me and we have to forego a good night s comedy sit there all night I think that s why I like bandit festival so much because they don t do an hour an hour for 2 hours that go beyond some of these days for me to sit through a 2 hour set of a band. Shuffle effect I think I think it might be the shuffle effect on your i Pod or your chosen musical device you got your I pod casts you can listen to the pole cuts because yes it s the speeches interaction that s why I will always need radio yeah hopefully well despite the fact that we have all over which far you ve 155 friends online rubbish I just looked I don t even know how to find out how many friends I have not that number is tripe like today for that matter how many I think that you know these are people who have pressed yes depression economic cept when you point when you ve been taught. One thing for friends and collecting here well anyhow full of true and close friends in real life so if not convinced about the value of social media but the psychologist honey Lancaster James has given some convincing arguments to its benefits in moderation are you convinced you can video I mean at the end of the day you have to sort of look at the pros and cons of these things because technology is here to stay social media is here to stay the Internet is here to stay so let s focus on not only the downsides of it but how we can also use it for positive benefit so they said to me you know connecting with all the people who you might ordinarily lose contact with I think it s a great thing I mean I ve met people on holidays and then stayed in contact with them and then visited them afterwards when I d. Only Lancaster. I find that when you when you work and you bring up a family you ve got probably enough time yeah to say you 2 or 3 best mates Yeah when I read now and again yeah that s true certainly not people that you meet on holiday know the reason there s a reason I don t keep in touch with people I don t keep in touch with from school and ask that s how you know there s not is it don t you know this is. A Wish I could spend more time with saying for you know. Couple Yeah please please don t think I don t think this is a little internet I m completely I m quite happy with technology I just I get a little bit concerned about the charge Yeah whether. People well the rich. I do I know I totally understand that and a lot of people do get anxious about that but at the end today it also does provide you with the opportunity to connect up with those couple of lads that you had to school with years ago whatever you might one day get together and I knew right you know we lead busy lives we haven t got time to be meeting up with all the people all the time all the finances all the energy sometimes after a long working week but you might have just enough. Energy to you know check in with your friends online or something and see what people have been up to or at least see the edited highlights of what they ve been up to and that can sometimes you know it s early days for this. Sort of cultural shift that we have so we need to do more research as to the the positive and the negative effects of it but one of the positives I think is that it can help those people who are perhaps geographically remote maybe they ve gone abroad for work or maybe they re isolated in some way or some people are housebound and can t get out and for those people there are these opportunities then for them to at least maintain some form of connection with their social circles which we know is so vitally important to our sense of well being psychological studies have shown that if you perceive yourself to have a good social support network not only will that be good for you psychologically but it can even be good for your physical health and they ve shown that for example you re going to recover better from if you have to have surgery or if you ve got a cold you actually boost your immune system if you believe good social support network since it is vital it s not just about. Not decrying it here at all I mean is it is not just about feeling secure with your friendships and your relationships and therefore not experiencing a lot of stress because as we know the stress hormone cortisol suppresses the immune system it doesn t work as well when your body stresses that the whole kayak ties in doesn t yes I think it s all connected so we know for example that studies of people who for example get a diagnosis of a terrible illness if you believe that you are likely to get through this and you re going to make it through the other side then you are actually statistically more likely to do so so there is an impact of that optimism is really important and so one of the things that having a good social support network of friends around you. Is that if you believe that there are going to be people he can help you in your hour of need or are going to be there for you then you also feeds into that level of optimism I m going to get through this I m going to make it through so you re right there is that element of security in your relationships but there s also a slightly more practical point of view that actually if you ve got people are there for you helping you get to wherever you need to be to the hospital to an appointment whatever covering you if there s something you can t do maybe looking after the kids so that you can have a bit of time off whatever those are the kinds of things that actually have a real positive impact on your life and for that reason I think friends have taken on more importance in recent years because we now typically live in a very mobile society and we tend to move away from our families and away from our home towns quite commonly and so friends all of that kind of local family that you create for yourself wherever you are in in the world and it s really vital and important that we do that I think and we got to be psychologist honey Lancaster James you can use the year chapter and verse on one friend so important exactly quote to turn. Let me point out something on the. Start he had about on the roads no major problems reported this hour traffic is moving quite well just looking at Darlington no Winfield. There of course also in Chariton on the A 19 in both directions as well local train service is moving well if you are travelling down through her whole trains in both directions crossing the whole are replaced by cancelled actually no train to toll because of a lack of rolling stock back with more than half an hour updates in the meantime callers with them on 3123. Keep in Seaside County Durham and North Yorkshire on the move B B C C s. Yeah I ve just had a phone call from Linda how the we re called to say that you ve got plenty of acquaintances but anyhow I m full of true friends a true friend is someone who s not afraid to tell you the truth about things whether it s nice not. That s the thing isn t it you true friend is the one who tells you what spinach you need teeth now just smiles are lovely It s nice. To your friends. But you get your family thrust upon you sometimes you have to get rid of so many a family as well I hope that s just it in a distancing them a little I don t know a hill in a shovel kind of where a nice one lovely. Cheery things that she which operates ahead well has one of our friends. He s going to tell us all about the weather. Guy tell our friend I want to shake it shake a stick Oh no no no no no you know our philosophy we never shoot the messenger anyway. I want the news is like a very friendly like that that is very kind of you could you know a lot of people do I get a lot of I don t know do I get it from a traffic point of view people people complain about I don t get you to work I judge I just report it yes not my fault there s a broken down lorry there nor is it your fault that I don t you weather might be on the horizon but actually the weather on the horizon is pretty good to be honest with you. So we re going to have high pressure never too far away for the next few days not only is it going to be made with some sunshine so also going to get much milder So I think we ll be looking at about 17 or 18 Celsius as our top temperature for to morrow which is hard to believe is next it s a very very chilly out there initially we did have a little bit Frost really we are looking at a pretty decent start some sunshine yes but always a cloud starting to me even as we head to the rest of the day a little bit windy as well I think later on highs of 12 Celsius today that is $54.00 Fahrenheit as that when sticks around overnight and a lot of the cloud as well temperatures will drop anywhere near its low will be looking at about 8 Celsius overnight then tomorrow very similar date is it 80 and it s just not quite as cold 1st thing happened a little bit Mr fog early on that will lift though and I said it ll be dry with temperatures reaching about 17 degrees in the West that we expect the similar just the potential for a cold front to make an appearance Thursday so it could get a bit cooler and a little bit more unsettled for the end of the week but you know that s a few days off yeah and it is very likely to change well I mean a number of months I was thinking this kind of put the winter do they on all who. I d hold off for just maybe a couple of weeks unseasonably warm or not. I mean it s no it s not completely unheard of to have these kind of these come Sampras s this time of year I ve heard the phrase Indian Summer thrown around an awful lot but I think what we ve had this weekend is just completely crushed that mighty Chile initially. Mrs look really fantastic more from. Oh there we go disappear there for a bit more from the B.B.C. Weather Center in right about 2 hours time say that that s the friendship. Down the Cape pack up yeah but what we re trying to. Actually set out to be on the radio. By trade I m a secretary. On Anything that goes into production revenue bonds. At any given point you re waiting for another little from the place to make it come on HOW ARE YOU terms of Scott making I m expecting a knock at any point. From 12. Lol The A. Lead. All I can that one plane my faith until I am. A new one on oh I m not sure I m sure I knew it was David Guetta was that woman that. That one was from the 2017 album The architect so I go yeah apparently to buy some polonium. Yeah I ve got a couple on my Pod Yes I look at the singles on the album so I need to invest yet we need to invest I need to say a big thank you to. You Anthony you know in the beginning now I m there to tip on Apple juicing. Because you know when you get a project to either bash them or cut them up and they just put them through a shredder early and I have so many brilliant fantastic Yes I ll be doing that again this week wonderful wonderful wonderful. Do you read a lot I used to read absolutely tons and tons and tons and now I read it s time limited I ve got several books on my Kindle and I do plow through the map periods. Well over 3 what was reading or watching a story is their favorite form of escapism a similar amount it allows them to switch off from their problems but as you just mentioned there don t always have the time you know from watching T.V. It s kind of one of those things where I can watch movies in 20 minute chunks Yes which is as long as that last until I fall asleep and I think it s easy with a book you know you can put it down and people are but sometimes just you don t have the time to even think about picking a book up but what if it was a different type of experience he s Adam law founder of the app and read alongside holder writer Meghan Morris and red is a new. Fictional platform that basically allows you to experience real time fiction for your mobile phone this is they so imagine you have the phone of a missing girl and you can read all the text messages that she s ever sent and then also start receiving real time text messages over the course of 7 days we tell stories that kind of go away for free to 7 days that allow you to really get to know the person behind the phone and a plot that just kind of and rebels before your very eyes can you say. The genius. Genius was that that brilliant thing you can do you can kind of become an active member in the story so what you tell me is you an active member of the story and you can receive texts that are essential part of the story if you like yeah is it how it works you know you get the whole story through do you do you feel as though you re you re actually immersed in the whole thing or are you say still very much a casual observer do you have an opportunity to change the way things are happening you are casual observer because it s like immersive you feel very much involved within the story so the real time element just means that it plays over like 3 to 7 days as you get going about your day to day to day life but the reason why we wanted to do that as well as we wanted to go against the whole business quarter that s a problem at the moment so normally if if if you re watching like a really good drama you just click like play next episode and you can find out what happens to a character within seconds where there s we wanted to kind of create an app where you go to bed not knowing if the characters going to turn up alive or dead the next morning so kind as that real time tension back into fiction storytelling just come out of the northeastern part of Yorkshire where you haven t got decent in Access and you can do that with a box anywhere if you go off way through an episode. At night but I want this next show with the planet turned again. Meghan What makes you what made you want to get involved in this. Well I was working as a writer in the gaming industry and when I saw. And read and what they were doing I was just incredibly excited by the new format and the new way of storytelling. You know to be able to have someone s phone and piece together the mystery through reading their text message isn t looking at all their videos and reading their friends you know seeing their friends stories way to tell stories in crime in particular this isn t this isn t just the next chapter is going to arrive by text to more and more this is a much more immersive event he s saying essentially a tree in the form as though it was the girls fall in the story looking through all her text messages and her videos and piecing things together so. Yes I think that s why the closest thing to get this excited about some of them is this was the 1st I want to escape I want to escape a room in. A really really really good one that cost a fortune but it was brilliant and it was immersive and you felt as though you were more than a casual observer are obviously trying to get out of the room yeah but in the same kind of way I don t know something quite intimate isn t there about reading somebody else s text messages it s like when somebody is dying me definitely I mean but that s going to hurt the whole idea of like originally started as I think where we as the British public are always a little bit guilty of reading someone else s phone on like the births of or when you like waiting I. Got whatsoever. It s kind of like our chance to escape a guy probably speak of myself or like over people s lives and more interesting that are in the right sometimes so it s always nice to kind of like have a little glance over someone s shoulder to see what s happening in there and we kind of for that s actually a great insight for storytelling like we have one the most powerful devices in our pocket now that so was not being utilized for storytelling So imagine if you have the Pathak in this phone and you can read all the messages they ve ever said because we re going to tell so many secrets that we just expect nobody else ever to read like Barry did our What s ups from years ago so that the kind of thought of giving someone else your phone strikes a lot of people with a little bit of dread I think we re very much kind of trying to place it as the fact that you can find out a lot about people actually it s quite interesting as a storytelling technique to really kind of explore. For instance in one of our stories you can have the phone of a missing girl normally with like any other kind of fiction drama that would be on T.V. There s always so many reasons why that person may have got missing or something might happen to them and I think your cut your phone because it s not your most personal device kind of tells a lot about somebody. And from a crime perspective you can actually find quite of evidence because everything we do these days is is as an i Phone So as a storytelling technique it s really interesting if people want to find out more about this where the need to go so they can visit our website shows on red dot co dot c O O or they can just search and read UN R.D. On the Apple App Store. And call Steve and see they are. Proud of where we. Are 95 digital radio and online this is B.B.C. It s 10 o clock with the news his I m Tony Collins good morning press I m on shay says it has stopped working with a supplier who the sandwich chain believes Miss sold it a dairy free ingredient that resulted in the death of a 2nd customer says it is taking legal action against the company after the customer suffered an allergic reaction to a sandwich last December Brett Kavanaugh has been so.
