Thank you for listening Welcome to Friday show you brace yourselves we re into the last week of the election campaign. A tidal wave of investment waiting to come into the country one by estimates of goods is 150000000000 pounds of investment waiting to come into the country if we can get pretty darn good our dealers the ones as we can use ready to go we increase the basic wage by bringing in a living wage of 10 pounds in a week and universal credit and we control rents in the private rental sector and all this adds up to an improvement in the living standards of the very poorest people in this country we should stop or exit by democratic means and whether that is through this general election or whether it s through people s vote on the specific breaks that deal that has been put forward clearly that needs to to be done that way population you know articulate has risen by 8000000. It s not 80 percent of that is because about the immigration policies we perceive how could you plan or provide future health services if on the open door migration you have no idea how many people are coming something that big up the backside this must be the climate election the future way and it s taking action on the climate and that is it isn t just the fact that it is about right but. It s much matter over the past few weeks we ve been in Weston super Mare Keynsham Bradley Stoke Southmead Shire Hampton and bath herring from you before next week s vote now for people like Sheila from how Cliff in Bristol where politics is concerned she s seen it all now you know not some politician. Because I m 830 my God I was born then no reason to feel happy. And then reset down all my life you know because things keep Go roll I knew then threw it. Down and get on with it she s my new heroes you got to stand up and he got to get on with it that Sheila from the needles knitting group if you have more from that group on Monday s show but let s not forget for many people next Thursday is the 1st time they will have ever been able to vote in a general election and what a time to do it say with May I have got 4 1st time voters so I m going to get them to say their name and their age you could probably guess their age and then we ll talk to them about what they re going to be doing on Thursday so off fast guessed your name place Hi I m Layla and I m 18. And I m Kayla but I m also 18 and I start I may think I m Nicky and I m 18 but turning 19 tomorrow. I m saying your age will be obvious but I suppose it depends when you 10 voting age according to when the general election was doesn t it thank you all so much for being here I m going to talk to you individually a moment but something that I feel as long as you re happy to say there s no hope in you are who are you going to be voting for and why I will be voting for the Labor party I ve been a member of the party for nearly 5 years now and I really agree with the policy so you started really young Yeah I did where did that come from my family very involved in politics it was kind of I was always around politics as a child so I thought get involved and your family Labor voters Yes So start with the family and you re happy with that you haven t asked Wade by anyone who was likely 40 collapse what about you well I think breaks it means breaks it so I m going to voting for the conservatives I think it is the principle issue this election and the conserves will deliver bricks are. You voting as a true conservative or as a tactical it s you know I ve definitely got myself as a true conservative as well but I think that the brakes issue is the most vital and it s only the Conservatives through Boris Yeltsin s deal that will be able to deliver that and 31st of January Alastair you voting for a little Democrat. That s most important issue I m on the exact of the side the fence. Is a national disaster as is the climate and that s why the Liberal Democrats in the strongest parties on the environment noise happening that s why I mean how do you when you became so politically aware. There s probably around $24.00 chances for about 30 more complexity well join the Dems in $26.00 to $15.00 and Nikki Finally you can be fighting for and why I m going to be voting Liberal Democrats as well because like Alice said I think this is a national emergency and I think that the only way that we re going to escape that and rectify that is if we have another referendum because I think that the previous referendum was lies by the believe campaign and we can we can regard that as a democratic vote because because of the lies it was built in the interests of balance I just want to point out that is it true Nikki that at one point you were wavering between live demo and grain is that I was wavering because I think the climb emergency is a massive crisis but I think that when the Lib Dems came out with a manifesto I felt that the the climate scented reforms and Manifesto plans of they had in place. What in line to make proper change so it wasn t as if they were they like Alice said they ve always been forward thinking in terms of tackling climate change and I think the manifesto was the displays that so I was happy with my choice of voting Ok How are you feeling about voting your 1st time does it feel significant I mean you couldn t picked a better time to do it it s a very historically significant election but have you been waiting for this day I mean I think I have very much I m waiting for the state yes I mean I like many people the country feel somewhat was running tryst with the current political system and I think that M.P. s but ignoring the will of the people for 3 years now when it comes to issues like bricks it I think it s vitally important that people can have their say on this through the general election to ensure that they re interested livered And I think to bring opportunity not just young people for everyone to come out and vote really have a voice Alister do you think the political parties do enough to engage with young people I think everyone could be more generally thought sometimes it was annoying how little it seems to young people there s not much action trying to get young people involved in politics. There s no political education schools like you but a manifesto that would be interesting wouldn t it obvious you came from a politically active family we re told the country is divided some people say torn some people say angry is that how it feels to you and your family not within my family most of us are a couple of people on the right but most of us are quite leftwing but I can definitely see how nationally we are divided and it s like it s been very interesting garden up in such a divisive political climate like throughout my whole teenage years like I was 14 or 1514 during the break that referendum so the last 3 or 4 years have been very. Political climate is not always well politics always in politics but in my slightly more longer years and you have never known it to be like this Yeah very interesting time to be studying as well about my politics you Tory says like there s great examples of everything going on minute like during like the 2000 and before that it was really boring to teach because nothing was really going on t.j. Were having a great time Nikki are you going to a polling station next Thursday you re going to do. It do you feel it does not feel significant to you as a 1st time voter Yeah I actually voted in the. Elections and I went on my own and that was it was really exciting but was actually quite intimidating I didn t actually know what the process was I came out and I started walking away from the table and then the woman called off into the old do you want your 2 on your ballot paper yet yeah. I think I m a bit more school this time but it s not quite it s quite exciting Ok Well before we wrap up just a couple of sort of more party specific questions Caleb What s it like being a conservative in Bristol West which is possibly the least part of the entire country I mean I have to ask how does that feel for you I ve got to admit it s not always great I mean I think some of the rankings but the West. Is that the least leave and constituents me on the whole of United Kingdom and I think inevitably with pro bricks a message it s going to be hard for a party like the conservatives going lot of traction or yeah I think it s really important but you ve made consider that actually they have a whole raft of other brilliant policies I think when it comes to more fun if you had a chance when it comes to portraying forces in the police I think that the party to get the job done and I was there Is it frustrating voting Liberal Democrat in a seat like Bristol south which is traditionally a dead cert for labor labor since going to 35. I think going to see someone in my entire life in both a been saved for Tories one for the Labor Party. Lack of support for ups and really annoys me every election time I want to vote for a party I want to vote for change why can t I stuck with whatever I get which really frustrates me and your party leader Jeremy Corbyn he s been in for a rough ride. Out of the way he s getting a lot of flak my house is the Conservative Party leader as well are you a German. Fan I have been for a long time much to a speech about the fact 80 under 18 year old couldn t vote in the leadership election and I was like 14 or 15 I think I have always supported me and finally I know you ve been wavering but you ve told us this morning that you re going down the Liberal Democrat really what do you make of your party leader Gerry Swinson as a political operator I mean since she s come in she s she s become party to fairly recently so I think she s still finding her feet but I think generally in this political climate the Liberal Democrats as a party in general there is more centralized and I think the Bracks referendum proved how polarized our nation is I mean the margin was so small so I think that the way to truly make our nation more unified in the future is to have a more centrally line party to make the majority of people happy and I think whether judgements and can do that we get to find out but I think that the Liberal Party. Democrat Party in general is the party to to make that happen it s been really interesting to me all 4 of you thank you so much thank you you are wrong are voters of today on the future and who knows our political activists are all right and there are n. Pay s our party leaders who you know who I m sitting in front of this morning it s been great to have you on the show good luck next week later Nikki Alister and Caleb all from Bristol voting in the general election for the 1st time next Thursday Don t forget there is a debate tonight on b.b.c.

Oh yeah what I did today it s not too bad it s mild for the next few days we have got some showers out there but also we start to see some spells of sunshine so I think we ll see a mixture today there will be further showers mainly through this morning they will tend to die away into the afternoon a very windy day actually winds gusting 35 to 40 miles an hour but that should break the cloud up quite nicely and very mild with highs of 13 degrees tonight breezy with some close spells frost free and lows of 5 degrees tomorrow probably the better of the 2 days this weekend by Want to isolated showers it should be dry with some brightness and less windy to highs of 10 degrees.

Really interesting to talk to those guys as 1st time voters can remember the 1st time you voted Ah I think I probably was university Yeah 19 I remember going to the party says you my parents before I was old enough I never really understood who they were voting from I understood how insignificant it was and important to them while they made me wait outside in the car I just got to travel let s go to St George our problems all morning here on Church Road still closed off because a police incident this is in between some of the road and chalks road just by the King George Pub and Restaurant the road we believe likely to stay closed for sometime probably on mid morning now we think so watch out for Richmond Road people coming off church road causing queuing traffic down which would road on to both roads you ve got queues in both directions along both that road which runs of course alongside even the cemetery there s also a single line of alternate traffic on air balloon road because of road works before it leads on to some hill road and also Church Road getting busier as you had a long pass and George park both those routes busy by around 10 to 15 minutes m 5 south still got the issue with the accident to cause a bump in the middle lane between 19 Portishead and $24.00 Cleaves And so the cameras are confirming that $23.00 and $4.00 are closed with traffic passing in lane one and the queue time roughly around half an hour at the moment on the southbound side between 19 and 20 at the m 481 length closed off going over the bridge between junction want to off and junction 2 for chap Stone Temple lights report to us from Phil imported head there in Winterbourne they are 3 way like to the end of Bradley Avenue in flux but it s lane and it s also slows you had from.

Stop 08594100. And every cent b.b.c. Radio Bristol. On this day stop by the time we get to Friday standards tend to slip Do you have a display the speed limit in Bristol is 20 mph. Come on be honest one resident know West is so fed up with drivers speeding down the 20 mile an hour road she lives on that she complains the police and they sent one of those community speed watch teams out Emily Jones lives on credit or Creswick depending on your position. And he s worried about the safety of children pedestrians and residents our reporter Alexa Cook is with her this morning joining the rush hour How s it going Alexa. Morning you are well we are standing on creasing road and it s been a really busy morning out here watching the traffic was passed now through Freedom of Information request and even some of the place told us that they had seen a speeding Foresman unit to the screen that road 5 times and caught 67 people speeding the police can t tell us if the speed is a buses or cars but the figures show that in the majority of those cases people a teen miles over the limit and a handful are actually driving at over 35 miles per hour instead of 20 days when the police van was almost straight it did make a huge difference or said to give They can t say why because the traffic is so bad and the neighbors the 2 skins let the kids play in the front yard now go evenly here with me evenly How long is the speeding traffic been a problem on the road when I ve lived here for 6 months but my neighbors tell me it s been a problem for much longer I think now we have more buses on the street and with more rate but they are using this as a cut 3 and just joining us and they may have done in the past but since I ve lived here it s definitely been a problem so who would you say are the worst offenders well as much as I love the Metro bus of being a bit greener it does whiz down this road also trucks and you know the old car just kind of doing 40 to 50 miles an hour thinking you know about getting to work on time or whatever people are doing and forgetting that it s a residential street. No way got a statement from 1st class and they say that actually none of those 60 Steven people that the police caught speeding with the what do you make of that. Well I mean I guess it depends on what time they were there and hopefully people did slow down once they saw this this be found I think what s interesting is the fact that they still caught people doing nearly twice the limit when they probably right seeing the fun to try to avoid any fines so I think you know it s it s quite interesting still quite a large number of people who have been caught speeding and just as we ve been standing here in the past you know 510 minutes we re saying quite a lot of people in way that whizzing past us over the speed bumps that doing much in fact. They go as one will know this we don t actually have no impact at all because they are not wide enough so you can just go straight over them in a car so you know if you re a bus or a truck they re not going to do anything it s whole there are the streets in the neighborhood where they ve got speed tables that go all the way across and they re so much more effective people actually slow down and it s just it s just makes it a nicer place to be is that what you d like to say from the council Yes definitely I mean I m I didn t miss it months ago I d like to stay in the area but to be honest I m thinking about selling my house next year because it s not a nice place to live with all the traffic and it s also not safe. And when that spade watch team kind did you see much of a difference in the behavior of the drivers absolutely people slow down well in advance of the they don t want to get caught speeding but unfortunately unless there s something in place that makes them such as a speed tables that s not going to be the case so you d like to see you know be just a bump in this area what happens when you contact the council of bouncer then tell them Oh you can since I haven t had anything back unfortunately so I contacted my local council who has been ill I understand but also I had a chance for and various departments and I just had nothing back in school we will start to look at flying the street asking people to get in touch and again we haven t had any responses so that s just really sad. And what s the next don t you think from here well I d really like a response from the council I d like him to start thinking about the neighborhoods that need a little bit of investment no West is usually neglected when it comes to spend the metro buses cause the city huge amount of money and a lot of road works it would have been nice if they could consider the effect it would help in residential areas I mean yes the speed tables will cost a little bit of money but we all pay taxes on this street Ok Ok And you know we deserve the opportunity to live in a safe place Thank you Elaine thanks for coming out of your warm house it was very great called with St thank you Alexa thank you very much our porter lexer Kirk on President road in no West in Bristol talking to resident Emily there we asked 1st bus about this because local residents had indicated to us that they thought buses were speeding 1st but say despite reports that the police recorded 67 recent incidents we ve had no notifications are made and some set place to any of those events involved are buses 1st west of England have a rigorous internal process backed up by telematics on our vehicles to monitor speed and safe driving safety of our customers the public is our number one priority all our drivers understand speeding is a criminal offense and if we re made aware of anyone breaking the law we would take appropriate action we also asked city council about it but they said they couldn t help us because we re in an election Perrier it not wrong to go before they will be able to use that as you know anyway what have you been saying about this this morning from to sin which shows fulfilled road in which churches like Brands Hatch Wharncliffe gardens to they re not gardens it s like a racing track Eddie and what an underage said speeding is not just an urban issue here in when we get idiots ripping through the town 40 miles per hour plus John Dowell this morning is going to be asking Where would you like a plea a police speed in Foresman unit to go have your say with John on the phone in after 9 It s 844 it s time for thought for the day our guest today is Chrissy Hackett who is a humanist from Bristol Good morning Chrissy morning amah. So today we ve been hearing about a fantastic Bristow Leean who gave up her job to care for her dad and who today might well be named care of the year by the brain injury charity headway this made me think of the heroic work that carers do and also about the many ways we can help people who are going through times of great stress in their lives one of the ways I decided to do this was by training to be a volunteer in a chaplaincy team as a non-religious pastoral Kara so once a week I spend the morning with patients and families at a personal hospital it s always a privilege to be a listening ear for people who need it sometimes we just talk about the weather but often people want to tell you about what s happening to their child and how they and their family are coping sometimes their present challenge or distress gets them thinking about the big questions why me why my little one what can we make of all this suffering or even how can we even begin to face the possibility of losing this most precious person people with a religious faith are often supported magnificently by their rabbis and moms priests and others in their faith community pastoral support is often enrich by a stop issuing a report with a like minded person so that s why there are now about 150 accredited non-religious pastoral care has fallen tearing in hospitals hospices prisons and elsewhere throughout the u.k. So if you re a non-religious person a good listener and you d like to make a real difference to people at difficult times in their life have a look at the humanists u.k. Website and find out more about it. Thank you Chrissie Chrissie Sackets we thought for the day. Let s get the latest b.b.c.

Countries came together with the aim of protecting Western Europe from the Soviet Union the original members included Britain Canada France Italy and the United States who provided most of the money the alliance was founded on a principle known as collective defense NATO member countries agree that if any one of them was attacked the others would come to help. The North Atlantic Treaty was signed with great fanfare in Washington in 1949 but then u.s. President Harry Truman told the assembled dignitaries the partnership would deter aggression and safeguard freedom if there is any evidence. It is there will. Be since then NATO has expanded to $29.00 member states with countries joining including Germany Spain and Turkey with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War is now focused on more diverse threats like terrorism and cyber security but some believe the organization has lost its way President macron of friends made headlines last month when he described NATO as brain dead with no clear focus about its long term goals. Are still the default NATO is a collective defense organization but against walked or against who who is our common enemy we need to clarify that u.s. President Donald Trump described the French comments as nasty but Mr Trump isn t exactly the biggest fan of NATO either he s previously called it obsolete and threatened to cut u.s. Funding unless European allies spend more on their own defense want to keep NATO I don t want them to pay I don t want to be taken advantage of we don t want to be the stupid people anymore Ok for 7 decades NATO has helped keep peace in Europe but behind the scenes a battle is brewing over the future of the most powerful military alliance in history.

Website highlighting the story the lot of these festive drinks produced by the coffee chains you know the name. The coffee chain s have got tons and tons of sugar in them would you ever go for a cinnamon Christmas special or a spiced gingerbread something like that I did not sell an hour packed with point not so long ago do you mean this year or some years ago this year it was easy because it sort of blinking at me and I feel when they use well I think somebody else was buying in moderation They re Ok but $23.00 teaspoons of sugar it s a lot isn t so you had 3 of those a day every day for a month by Christmas you d be very Porky wouldn t you Porky and seeing the doctor probably to get checked it would affect your blood sugar levels would net I think in moderation maybe one perhaps 2 over the Christmas period but that is a lot sugar in one thing what about the whole business of introducing the Christmassy spices to the range do you think that s appropriate or should we do all year now just to Christmas I think Christmas is just an hour in any I mean I don t know what they say people that it is 6 in the coffee shop and a lot students day but as you know things today you know if you re busy woman exactly I mean you re working right now more or less anyway let s talk about these Christmas specials or courses it s a way of making money is generating income isn t it because they re not didn t give them away you re probably talking 34 maybe even more pounds to buy one of those so Dr off I want to go to a coffee shop they d say you want you know medium small or large where if you just go for the smallest That s more than adequate with the large ones like Pocket c. Rushing around all day palpitation both those you ve got up terrible school heads and we all remember I think the school headmasters and had mistresses childhood they can have a profound effect on us they can be scary particular my days when you ve been a white but of course they can be iron rulers or they can have a gentle touch Do you remember the heads when you were at school. But the head teacher member certainty is and I m the head teacher at my secondary school is divine. And there were certain teachers at school that was sort of that would stand out say we Scott was the music teacher she was lovely Mrs Finley in secondary school she was Scottish lady with a chick to a chain full of keys but she would be coming before she she arrived and she was quite strict but strict but loving you know and just wanted good for you basically and say essays are the ones that pop into my mind and my daughter s teachers I probably know them a little bit better they have their favorites but yes there are certain teachers that do stand out at school we had an exchange teacher called Mr Euston from Canada for a year as my reception teacher and when he turned up all the class were lined up outside the classroom this was in 2nd year in secondary and he got to the head of the queue and want to kill he said Take that smirk off your face and whacked him across the face and that was the 1st thing he said to the class and we thought of these days be in jail when a actually he turned out to be a lovely teacher and he did an Elvis Presley impersonator but it s funny how times have changes now I can t see my mom and my mother stand for that following business school had this talk about that horse of the Year show not have seen on television in the past and I ve talked to John Dollar earlier on and he said that yes she rode a horse of the horse of the Year show I would have thought it was one of the top not potential award winners it might been like and I know a Shetland pony or something it was just for the. Fact it was a if you seen the horse of the Year show on television in the past but they do all these fancy sort of Jim Cana type things and special competitions you know it s nice and it has an air of his middle to lower upper class ness of ita Because it to afford a horse or even just to go horse riding you need a bit of spare cash don t you the expense of friends but they re dedicated I mean these young girls and the principal are young girls they love grooming them don t they and they put a lot of effort into they love the animals no doubt about it it s a special special animals they are they re more intelligent than we are My guess in the 1st of the show is to enforce.

Know all close but no one s got it correct. Shorty on the program we ll be talking about organic gardening with Tim Foster but before we meet him it s going to take on the road situation with all of a hat importers head on Wyndham way the a 369 is the off peak road which caused delays again it s taking back on to the end of the port $300.00 coming in was about road which queues in Bristol hang grove on Airport Road and through westerly on westerly road as well on the trains on South Western Railway industrial action continues so there are no southwestern services between Bristol and or between Westbury and Yeovil junction. Limited service elsewhere journeys between reading and Oxford are either being cancelled or seeing long delays of up to 30 minutes is because of track repairs being done at Apple for it and yet they call us a few hands free 080-085-5949 re the embrace still have a platform like for people like myself and like the guys from the state school to know that it s that such a brilliant idea played with. It s not something that comes along very often so to other artists on the upload some tracks and. Respect what you do and for everyone playing your content Gayton b.b.c. Dark Angel you can. Play a brilliant and like to thank you so much like on behalf of all of us like it s been such an experience playing with. Is great as hell there s so much weeknights from Saturday on b.b.c. Radio in Bristol. With the time I was 25 minutes to one you re listening to local radio stations b.b.c. Radio Bristol and I m delighted to say I m joined by my guest of the day it s time for us to the local organic on the team thank you for coming in thank you for inviting me along not to and I Tim has written a new book called fruit for life a friendly guide to growing fruit organically is described as a ripe peach of a book and it s a supposed assist of volume to his earlier but which was about vegetables and tim has taught organic whole to culture and courses for around 20 years in this area thank you very much for coming in today you well very well yes how about your right not to have been rather busy today but it continues it s lovely to have you when now before we talk about the books which we will do in detail a moment let s talk a bit about your background I come in where you re from originally where were you born on from the middle and Ok you know sites I mean them in fact okey cokey used to go a little bit in Europe so I have been here get rid of it completely now nothing is very pleasant Now tell me about your background you ve got a degree in how to culture and you keep a couple of allotments these days with your interesting gardening something that started when you were a child. Yes and it seems to be you have a very common occurrence when. People interesting horticulture it stems from when you re a child particular seems for some reason grandparents Yeah I ve heard that before I mean do you have any particular memories of being in the back garden with your grandparents I do yes yes you have been told to get out. No it was always a wonderful experience really yet now you ve gotten professionally I think since you left school so did you go to some sort of college directly after school straight after no gap years there in those days a long time so why did you go off to in those not in one of the few places which did the courses. At that time and now suddenly no longer doing them what was the course you actually took specifically that call it was a degree in horticultural science I think is very sounds very flash but actually not much use in the end did your parents push you in that direction or try and steer you away from it no no they were both both librarians So if anything I should have been had my nose in a in a book all the time well the outdoor life I think is preferred Well I mean I love books but want to moan when want to be in the indoors all day with them and you ve been teaching organic gardening courses in and around Bristol for many many years when did your interest in specifically organic food began organic food gradually probably when it came to Bristol actually so that s around 35 years ago what brought you to the city work I think it was there was not much work around at the time in the early Eighties you might remember and yes and so I got a position as part of the co-op Riverside garden center right and we started building the garden center as soon as I got down here and then working from there on went without is a wonderful garden center but it s slightly under threat at the moment is the thing about rebooting a road near I want to disaster Yeah well I personally hope that doesn t happen because I think it s a lovely and she says a garden center which is a co-op which is quite interesting and not many of those around or that there aren t co-ops have this kind of inbuilt mechanism to destruct at a certain. But Riverside has kept it going and all this time and obviously when when we were setting it up initially it was supposed to be a totally organic garden center who I didn t know that yeah as well as where you had to bend to market pressures there was that problem yes we kind of got a little bit more real at the end of it and we decided that having other items for sale we could at least talk to people about it you could proselytize a lot and they ve got a lovely cafe there if you ve been there in recent years but it s a super place I still pop down there and say hello and it s a lovely cafe You re quite right it s delightful Well I don t know what is the future as far as rerouting the road goes I mean it s been positive as a theory but I hope they can come up with some other solution because it s a unique site there is that alongside the waterway it is it s an old it was the old salt for road gritting and all of that so it was kind of recovered by the garden center and made into something rather lovely and it really would be a shame to lose it so you say that you got into organic food when you came to Bristol and you know what it was that the put you on that route did you have some sort of a not not a major event but it was this gradual realisation of the amount of chemicals that are in our food plus the fact that our food over the past probably 60 years has gradually been depleted of nutrients and that s as a result of chemical farming. And you may have heard Isabella tree who is this wonderful woman from Sussex and he s done this Wilding project and she was on the radio as well recently and talked about the fact that if you. Want to eat tomatoes for particular nutrients you have to have 10 nowadays to have the equivalent amount of nutrient as you would have done 50 years ago so why have the nutrients sort of been sucked out of them what s occurred to them organically then or well because the ground has been covered in. Chemicals particularly very heavy with only a few major fertilizers that displaces the other nutrients from the soil and gradually over time they get lost and so those trace elements if you like other things which provide us with the vitamins and minerals and indeed enormous amounts of water as these days aren t even grown in the ground or they are grown sort of high up and with these particular water systems that they are hydroponically That s exactly it is it s called harder panics Yes and strawberries as well yet which I don t agree with the talks not naturalists it when it isn t I mean there would be arguments to say that you can supply the same nutrients in the water as you could do in the soil anyway but I think what there s a major feature missing from hydroponic system and that is the ability of a plant to interact with what is in the soil interact with the wider natural world at the margin that as far as organic goes I mean you go back to well maybe but the war time just before that there were not many chemicals used on the land and then they came in swathes and swathes of a crisis point I suppose in the seventy s when they realized that some of the chemicals they were using that were really severe yet to this day many unnatural chemicals they use this form of fertilizer on the ground on they it s just still a huge range they keep testing them they keep checking that they re safe they put them out and then eventually they re withdrawn because they then discover that there s something not right with them and even if they were perfectly safe for human health which they are clearly not. The biggest worry is the effect on the wider environment now you must meet naysayers over the years who say that organic stuff is overpriced and no better for you than the cheaper stuff what do you say to those people when I think they re wrong. It is more expensive but you can get around that in a whole number of ways like the Bristol farmers market they have organic stands there are. And on what ladies road Saturday morning there s Lee court farm with their organic vegetables. And they re cheaper to buy like that and just want to grow your own at us has to be the cheapest way of getting organic vegetables where the mantra I think is to eat less but eat better I think that s a fairly common statement and very wise to know you have extensive experience of how to culture of course through your work of the years in gardening landscaping nursery work garden center work tree work market gardening you ve been involved with thing where we City Farm for how many years now you ve been doing a course there. Not that long the course actually moved around a little while and it s kind of landed there for probably about past 5 years you start in February doing work through the years all right yeah and you teach all the basics of theory impractical and you re still working hard you don t do so much for time gardening now because you tend to do courses don t you yeah your body is playing a little you now so that is the problem for outside all the time is quite tiring isn t it and you know being outside in the elements it can never wearing effect on you it can I mean it is wonderful to be outside and not d. Trying it out as much as possible in fact I am but working hard full time I think is is quite difficult on the on the on the body indeed just generally speaking in this country there are far fewer people doing that and that that is one of the reasons that people living longer they don t do the hard labor on the land that they would have done 50 years ago it s true yes it would have taken its toll it s very very difficult it s no wonder people drop dead sort of 3 or 4 years after they retired in times past because they were literally worn out when they they were here now your 1st book which was published I think in 2013 was called good earth gardening a friendly Guide to Growing vegetables organically that was a paperback with lovely illustrations that you produced a practical and light hearted guide the principles of organic gardening entertaining yet underpinned by sound science tell me a little bit about that 1st book clearly it was about vegetables how did it come to being. Well it s because I ve been teaching particular the little organic course want to say which is not. A convict her to meet a certain point why not just put all the notes of made all together and put it in a book and clearly that s never going to get anywhere but a friend from down the road who just happened to be a publisher decided to take it on and then well just have to do it and that was a publisher pomegranate book so I don t think exist any longer do they but you can still get out of the book can you you can still get hold the book it doesn t exist still but he s decided not to do anymore publishing which is why the current one well the book is available you can search for online a practical guide laid out with clarity and full of good tips that s the 1st book by Tim called good earth gardening now that was the vegetable one the brand new ones just been published it s called fruit for life a friendly guide to growing fruit organically and we ll talk about that in detail after this. Something just between you. Can tell you something just between. When I. Was. Sat. With. Those marshmallow and churches here with me Steve with you on this Tuesday lunchtime I guess at the moment is a local organic garden a Tim Foster we were talking to him a bit about your background in that 1st book of yours good earth gardening which looked to vegetables Well a few years later you ve come up with the fruit equivalent haven t you what brought this one on then it was. One of 2 requests believe it or not yes that surprised me as much as I am. That I was in the vegetable book for. Isn t covered and it was worth it given a go well the new book is called fruit for life a friendly guide to growing fruit organically we should mention your lovely illustrations you ve done those yourself I think of a near 100 yes it keeps them off the street how to grow every fruit you can think of and it really is a lovely list because when we talk of fruits in this country you can discard an awful lot of the exotic sin the citrusy ones can you know yes that was that was a handy statement to make is that it is covers the fruits which grow in this country yes the citrus and there s already a lovely tropicals mangoes in them to serve as an adult to that what are your views on importing fruits and vegetables from overseas you know to fill in the gaps in the seasons in this country. Big fan of seasonality and so you can take the example of strawberries and grow strawberries on my allotment and the anticipation and the joy of when they actually appear and you can stroll down there and just pick them ripe off the plot is just wonderful and when they finish Ok it s sad but that s it and and I just revel in the in that that they are there for that time and the enjoyment they bring Yeah and also I think if you pick them at that particular point in their life cycle when they come into being then they re at their peak of perfection on the way because that well generally commercially grown ones are picked under ripe and that s for ease of transport Yes and the end result of that of course is that the never taste is quite as tasty as you are indeed and you get things like I know asparagus is imported from Peru Yes which is appalling and to me very bland to taste as well whereas if you get asparagus during that short season in this country which has been grown locally in Somerset whatever perfect with a bit of butter in it well with that about butter of course goes on I m going to listen to your hog roast. And know you can put a bit of olive oil on and they will as far as you re quite right about the asparagus be. Because it starts changing the moment it s cut and they do say you should actually take your little Primus stove down to the allotment so you can eat it as soon as you can well quite tricky to grow the oldest But I ve you grown asparagus yourself we have it on the lawn Yes You re wonderful but they re precious each spear is a little golden piece of preciousness isn t it anyways fruit we want to talk about now as I mentioned the new book by Tim for life how to grow every fruit you can think of that grows in this country complete growing instructions for apples apricot blackberries blue bris cherries damsons figs good brisk grapes hybrid berries Kiwis now Kiwis an odd one because you would associate that with this country but you can grow them in Britain can you you certainly can it just needs a bit more of a sheltered place perhaps. A south facing wall or something like that the trickiest thing with them is the amount of space they actually take up but otherwise yes you can easily get a crop you also mention medlars Mowbray s peaches peaches again it s not a fruit I would associate with this country you can do if you just got a bit of sunshine have you on a warm warm exactly that yes it does need that protection it s not so much that they don t like the cold temperatures it s that they don t cope so much with the wet and particularly the certain diseases which they pick up in wet conditions let me just complete the list this pears plums quinces raspberries red currents rhubarb strawberries and indeed other fruit Let s talk 1st of all about positioning I mean you sort of hinted at them but each particular fruit has its own preference as far as it where it s positioned in the garden isn t it it does you can find something for every bit of the garden yes it depends on the size of your garden of course you also mention tools I mean they re the basic tools that you do anticipate most gardeners would have but you talk about planting in the tools are essential for that also harvesting is where you need the appropriate tools then you yes I mean you can go completely overboard and get a long handled fruit picking things but yes a. Pair of secretary and. Something to plant the. The Bushies in the 1st place and I think you re off you also talk at the various techniques some fruit of course would just have a very similar technique apples and pears I daresay not that different but some fruit would need a particular technique and a few insider tips which you sprinkled in the book yes along the way some things are lost certainly there s a lot of myth around certain fruit grapes are a great example and then if you get the basic principle behind what to do when you re pruning the great it s so so easing there you look at pruning propagation pollination I m going to ask you about that in particular with reference to insects because we ve heard about this insect apocalypse in recent years and everybody has the personal experience of the insects not being on the windscreen in the front grill of the car like they were when we were kids clearly there s a lot fewer insects around these days how is that affected pollination Well it s interesting you say that because the biggest problem and what you re describing that the windscreen effect is because when you go through the countryside that s what you would have got but it s the countryside is bearing the brunt of the demand eyes of the insects and a lot of our countryside even the green fields are actually mana crops and sprayed to give no problems whereas one of the great refuges of insects and this was shown by research at Bristol University. That allotment sites are one of the best sites for wildlife probably better than Nature Reserve did you get a lovely mixture that s exactly it s there s a huge range of habitats and plants and all manner of different. Situations that insects can hide and live Yeah I mean just as a broader world view it seems like we re sleepwalking towards some sort of terrible apocalypse that nobody s even waking I mean a few people are now but it seems bloomin obvious that if you use Mondo crops are you going to get rid of essential insects which are going to profound influence down the line it s seems to be this. Kind of it s driven as a lot of decision making is by the money principle and and it s really hard to get out of that but you kind of hope the politicians will have got the message by now when you well you also look at pests and diseases it seems every fruit you can name and indeed vegetable it s got some particular pesto disease that it s it can be subjected to yes but then again if you get the balance right with. The complete range of plants particularly mixing in flowers in amongst the fruit then a lot of the pests and diseases are actually controlled or minimized at least Yeah I mean slugs are probably more of a problem for vegetables and fruit but how do you deal with slugs. I want to know about. Is it brutal know that I m a vegan so I kind of want to let them sort themselves out and you can talk them out surely Well you can whisper occasionally. The worst thing I do is a be a trap Well it s a good way to go but that s what I thought Ok you also look at the storage of fresh fruit which is important if you store it correctly or indeed if you store it incorrectly you can make a big difference can t it it can be with the softer fruits I suppose the softer fruits some respect the softer fruit because you can freeze them. It s the larger fruits like apples and pears where you ve got to find these bulky fruit gotta find some space for it and it s nice to be cool but at the same time not to try not to wet and it s not that easy What would you say is an easy fruit to start off with I mean just moved into a new house you ve got a back garden you never garden before what fruit would you point people in the direction of I suppose I would go for the soft fruit because even if they require a certain kind of pruning it is very very easy to do and and in a small garden in Bristol you can feed any amount of suffering and what about the other end of the scale what is tricky what takes the most time and technique to really get the goods at the end of the day yeah you can really go for the complicated stuff the worst I think I ve tried to do. That is growing plums believe it not as a fan against a wall on those beautiful shaped fun trees but the pruning of it is actually quite a tricky one and yet plums a lovely now you ve condensed a lifetime s knowledge into this book and the one before it if people want to get hold of a copy how can they track time for life that very nice of you. It s available in Bristol at various shops like. Current harvest on the Gloucester Road and Riverside garden center. Is the better food company also has it or it could be directly from the publisher it says Bath based publishing Ok well it s a self published book and they ve helped you out with Alvin they were very decent they took pity on me and we should also mention that the book although it contains a lot of hard knowledge and information is a cigar lighter side you include random nonsense. But that s a fair description of my entire life I think the movie thank you for coming in today Tim real pleasure to see you again every success with the book thank you very much indeed for inviting me that s Tim Foster the local organic gardener that new book of his is called fruit for life a friendly guide to growing fruit organically and the one before which was about vegetables is called good earth gardening. Please please. Every time I guess to. Have it something else I would say. Let s get some up Rita Ora what a character my thanks to Jim Foster for coming in the local organic garden the new book of his newly published is called fruitful life.

Dear Bristol why he did the challenge in Ogust we found out my dad had to say killer cancer and I wanted to raise money for question cause she really were helping them and I love football so I so I can try helping fund raising and football together to help my dad one of the Minerva owls from the bath sculpture trail is being donated to the Royal United Hospital in Bath in memory of a 13 year old girl who died from cancer even Clover had a brain tumor if his parents have too many of ours and have decided to permanently loan one of them to the hospital to say thank you for the cash she received Brian Clover is a dad and runs a charity called Evey s gift which helps parents with costs when their children are in hospital in a way it s good in that it helps focus because of something else to think about but if he was alive the chance he wouldn t exist so it s a real double edged sword there are days when you think you re doing something great and then you wake up and look at.

Whole weekend of life support continues. Maybe you see radio Bristol Saturday morning in the West Country you re on the James Hansen show and Terry the old joke man I say it is time for de Terry good morning good morning James a comedy Ace is the end of November and sings a baby well tomorrow 1st day of December I can t believe it like I mean Christmas is around the corner and I cubes is getting baked like you and I often come in the person I am having guy as come we open up like it was a process or Terry the old man advent calendar just give me an idea write that for next year much until it s the next day we got some more question stands in for Terry because of course he is all regular agony uncle solving your problems or trying to jack into us and he was the 1st one day Terry I ve been put in charge of organizing this year. Office Christmas party but I ve left it all to the last minute every venue seems to be booked and I ve got no ideas of what to do any suggestions or was always an ordinary what today I mean obviously a tradesmen I saw trader. Is always see what you do obvious or you just used to be what are you know going to say to do even have a Christmas party can you do like you know they get tax benefits they need a office lot so you know whatever it is you season get. Whatever common at bars and all that we could do something different and a right pain Bolin or. A tribute band or strictly come dancing style fast true and also maybe that we depends really jack into us and what. During the day doesn t have to be in the evening do a nice lunch you probably find more venues are available at lunchtime a nice lunch you could maybe the office might write off the afternoon a bit if you can have a few drinks over the lunch and then also a late lunch or something like that. What you can get away with at work what a budget isn t all that. Hard and I ll. Email me privately and I ll tell you what traits and I mean. It s a little bit you know when you re just a little. On top of a crane. Well. There s an idea for you Jack you know the question here for Terry the old job I don t see a Terry from Karen in Redland Terry my son has just failed his driving test for the 4th time and is really beating himself up about it I ve told him it s not the end of the world but it might sound better coming from you can you give him any words of comfort or advice or is there are felled on me 1st time. But you just got to relax don t worry about there are no yes Big yourself or no I m going to kind of never go in there or whatever runs up. You know I mean just I think almost would work I mean I m not saying trying to make a mistake early on but when I took I passed 1st time and I was very lucky because I made a mistake that turned out to be a minor early on but I thought it was a major So why within the 1st 5 minutes thought I had failed so the pressure was off for most and I wasn t that stressed because I thought I d failed anyway so clearly the rest of the driving test run quite well because I wasn t feeling too nervous and I was stunned when the driving instructor with the end that I actually passed so maybe if you find a way of just taking all the pressure off you you might do well to. Ask what b.b.c. Radio burst along or something to structure exactly exactly that are so very good suggesting on a Saturday morning Exactly yeah I mean you go Well said. Nothing question here from Mary in Bradley Stoke did Terry I m hosting a dinner party next week but the guests include 2 vegetarians a vegan and someone who s gluten free I m struggling to think of what I can serve that will please them all any ideas or I mean your stuff is now. Free veggies and. While they can all just go on what can also be. So she can see they can cook boiled Roy. We in Yes Can they like while they can offer like onions and peppers. It. Sounds like a great dinner party. I mean there you go enough that s not all male I mean it s just plain you know some so. I tell you what I love the French onion soup in one that can t make it myself but a friend oh no yeah French Onion French Onion but. Without the crude Soames that we are you might do that as a start and then. Main course. Peppers and onions. The result. A result but you got cheese and it was only. What about. Or. Soil. Yeah Mary you ve got your work cut out there really jacket potato. Jacket potato and baked beans that would work that we saw in the party like that would work and then putting is a bit easier you could just do some sort of fruit to it like a fruit salad fruit salad and some condensed milk oh no because I know. This is. Connect you could do coconut milk instead yeah why oh I see Mary I think we re saying French onion soup to start then. Jack would say so we baked beans then fruit salad with some coconut milk and ice penny sauteed if you have any color and really inquiries or any other problems that you would like to submit email the main James dot Hanson out b.b.c. Doco to t.k. Or call our 800-855-9493 extension 2 call and Terry their job I will be back next week in December Terry assembler looking forward to James a seeing December. The edge of and. Was. The.

Kate Rusby is a multi award winning singer known as the queen of British folk music she s got a new Christmas album coming out called Holyhead and she s coming to the foreman bar on Wednesday the 11th of December with her show Kate Rusby a Christmas and Kate Rusby Santa Hello good morning hello how are you doing on very well thank you thank you so much going on the show nothing else thanks for having me Oh pleasure it s basically a Christmas tradition now isn t it a Kate Rusby Christmas show yeah so we we ve been doing the Christmas tour now for about 12 years I mean it s not it s not the same to reach changes most years you know but but yes we ve been doing touring at Christmas for 12 years now and way back when well 13 years ago I decided that state I m going to take some of these songs from our local area out around the rest of the country because they were kind of lost from the rest of the country so I decided right we ll get a brass quintet together and we ll get the band and will go out and we ll have a good laugh and here we are 12 years later. And when you talk about your local area I mean you re a Yorkshire go originally only and I am yeah yeah from so I was from South Yorkshire just outside and here in South Yorkshire we have this strange thing where we get together everybody just certain people do it and they go to these certain pubs that have been holding these Christmas things for generations and like I was saying you know that the carols and Christmas songs that were once across the country and the Victorians came along and got rid of most of the happy ones and the ones that have a big ruckus sing along color says. But the people that loved singing them around. It took him to the pope s And then they stayed in the bin kept alive you know being passed on so once I realized oh my goodness still the people need to hear these because you know because I because I ve been brought up here I thought everybody knew them but then of course as I was touring around I realized that people didn t know anything about the song so I went right we re doing it so so we did it. Yeah 12 years later and 5 Christmas albums so yeah I m clearly wherever you take it in the country people respond to the music I mean both in particular humans have several times now over the years why do you want to come back to places like bath all because it s absolutely rebel not know only as a beautiful city of costs but but also the audience there are just up absolutely amazing and you know on the on the Christmas tour we get to play our favorite towns and in cities so we do choose them quite carefully so so a city like bath you know coming there at Christmas time is special in itself a good Christian thing as well beautiful I know you see Yes and that s one of the great thing about doing the Christmas to us is that we get prime town center parking so I can go to the shops and like that we do I go and I ve got a little list right so in Bath I need to achieve this for so and so so I m going to do that oh no no but I hope that no I just love it and love coming to the forum it s just gorgeous yeah and so the show is called Be a Christmas last Wednesday the 11th of December for I m in bar you ve also got this new Christmas album this year is your 5th Holyhead tell us about the album Well I called Holyhead because I decided recently that anyone that adores Christmas music as much as I do is quite clearly called a holy head so I invented that there the phrase So it s not an album about the town in Wales where you get the flat I wanted that is a little holy like you like because they call you a petrolhead you know you re calling your holy had a holy head yes so I just thought it would be the perfect name for an album you know so yeah but we ve got great fun making it I mean obviously when. We ve got one when we working on a Christmas album. Inevitably you ve got to do it at the wrong end of the year so after last year s Christmas to away thought Christmas and we had new year and then I was working on the next Christmas album so I ve been doing it like through spring and then we finished finished the record and just before. So we thought it down for a little while but it is really strange you got to get your head around it you know doing it at the wrong end of the it s quite funny what the album is called Holly had less era tracks from the album your choice Kate s what your hair oh my choice I think will be Christmas season comes. To me. Strong. I would bet with folks saying a case that was Christmas is Mary from her new album Holly had Kate s also bringing her new show Christmas to the foreman bar a Wednesday the 11th of December. Brought Asinorum Christmas album this year we have a whole philosophers poets and kings tell us about yes so so so we recorded philosophers at the end of last year and so whilst I was promoting that came out in May The Shia So whilst we were out promotion that we re actually back to and fro the studio finishing off Holyhead also so it s been a crazy year but it s only a little when you talk to people like me about one album Auster writing another and then it kind of flips around again does not make it quite difficult it does actually sometimes yeah because I forget what time of year we re all seem to have this default setting if a car remember what month we re on it must be April so I revert to April would go. But yeah I mean it does do sometimes get a bit mixed up but you know I ve been touring and making albums for 27 years now so come kind of used to the upside down to solve it and also the thing of planning 8 to 18 months. Vance you know because that s how long the it is books that far in advance so you know 2 is 2 is planned an album s planned Also if you ve got to plan it quite far enough and also holidays so I can just be a mother that s also quite nice to put in the best of times absolutely you same like a very prolific songwriter case I mean just the number of albums you ve released in recent years would suggest said Oh you always wrong thing pretty much of you always go I did this for songs in your head or do you always make it like a weekly a drawing it s never well I say no I kind of always have ideas going on and you know I absolutely love the record mechanism I m on phones these days because it makes it so much easier you know you stuff to carry around a little dictaphone all them years ago when we did our phones the thing I do you learn is no no no and then you go down ass clever Absolutely and even when you know back in the day when we did of mobiles there was one song I wrote years ago called and meet the stars and I was away on tour when I was writing it and the only thing I could think about to to record it was to to ring myself up and leave a message on my answer machine thing in the field lines from you know which I ve still got some where I think the little tape so so yeah I mean but but but but but also because I do normal gigs as well as Christmas gigs I like to keep both things quite fresh so usually a do well to one year I ll do a normal album a lot and almost a huge album The Next year I ll do a Christmas album so for the last few years I ve been like alternating How would you sum up the State Super says folk music of the moment cats I mean it seems from the outside to be in a very healthy place is that the impression you get from the inside. You know looking back call them years ago when I 1st started off you could count on one hand the young people playing you know a nun to the audience and all the rest of the people playing folk music at that time were all our parents generation which were you know that the generation that were around the original sixty s folk revival really so but that because there were some you young people start playing younger people start. To watch also and then they stopped playing and he s just kind of snowballed and snowballed and now there s all manner of influences comin in because of course music is so much more exciting easily accessible these days so the influences come into the saying you know it s his dad so it s making it so diverse and vibrant and you only need to go to a festival you know to see the huge diversity and the people from all walks of life the coming to watch the music as well any age is any jobs you know everybody s welcome and everybody s embraced in it and just so it s been the most vibrant and healthiest I ve ever known and you can say. They form involved on Wednesday the 11th of December and you Christmas album is called Holyhead it is quite Rusty thanks so much thank you but how did they. You. Told me if you died a few. Weeks back struck by. What was cut. Was. Winning the rings and rings. True. Can you. Some of these. Golding is of course. To save b.b.c. Radio breaks to find you very much like a recipe for coming on the show you can say you have to have Christmas before I m involved when you say the 11th of December and I need Christmas album out now called Holyhead. Or I would love to me at 11 warnings of course Hello good morning good morning how Phil ridiculous for asking that we do have to yeah how prepared are you for the fact that tomorrow is the 1st day of December all you December ready are you Christmas ready Well I m just hoping it you know the day will just roll in like all the others are not prepared to at all I ve got to be honest my partner s going to get a Christmas tree today they say you know quite early I think well we like to enjoy it for the full stretch far enough to have a massive Christmas lover so last week he went and got I told you something sort of big but it was a Father Christmas kind of face. Lights up so we ve got that now he s going to go get a tree and I just kept saying to him. Just buy you one that is just go small a smaller than what you actually think yes he does not have any sense if I said How big is a meter. He just has no. No idea for Porsche 9 so it will be meaningfully oversize are there which fills me with dread the only thing that makes it likely to be smaller is that he won t get anything really big in the car with little one in the back seat is true so I m hoping they re letting us use up to the roof of the car. All Anything is possible James so I m not ready but it doesn t matter because the other half is just going out and buying random things and filling the house with it in time for Christmas which is part of what is about I am going to Crystal service tomorrow noise like a messy church type thing when I think now that the both Christmas market is started and I go back to places like the Mala going to be hit today and tomorrow people in Christmas shopping all like I think so kind of feels like everyone starting properly this weekend yeah I know apart from me and all my notes I was cut off after 11 so I know this is sort of one of those slightly cliched things but you do get to the end of a year and think back a little bit about how it s been and if you ve got some other things that you would like to do next year is there a classic reflective time so we thought we would catch up with a couple of people he did that and actually decided to make a change and do something completely different while we re going to talk to them on the show also a bit on your brain and how that adapts to change what can you do to make it more adaptable flexible and you know if you are thinking right you ve got some goals that you want to achieve So talk about that we ve got someone who makes me feel good about getting older I know I m not old but honestly when I talk to her she just gives me so much energy she s energizing to she is a documentary photographer Alex rate is oh really yeah she s. Brilliant throwing in a little bit about how to look after your legs and feet nice with the club that I never even knew existed I ve entered another world they re a great bunch of women come.

I promise you these are all on sale in the u.k. a Number fall it s a pet advent calendar lots of places doing these now you can get separate ones for dogs separate ones for cats pets advent calendars and now a thing. On a forward to the printing goals advent calendar The only difference with this one is that instead of $24.00 windows there are only 12 probably because you get a mini tub of Pringles for each day so if I did it for $24.00 days it would be a normal. Number 3 alternative advent calendar it s the protein advent calendar containing muscle building protein products in each window. And it s the pork scratchings advent calendar containing 24 baits of individual polka cracklings that is a thing of the number one alternative advent calendar I kid you not pay for a better advent calendar.

Junction 20 for the m 5 around the change that s also slowing things down at that junction as well come right in both directions east in go down a very slow a round the m 5 junction 90 in the road works area on the roundabout lane restrictions in Tempe traffic lights are in place for the works there is affecting all approaches on the roundabout so just be aware Mrs Green tea will me a 417 for this one line blocks queuing traffic due to a broken down vehicle so that s around the drum way round about the station rage link. To heavy traffic between Greystock way and the m $32.00 junction one for Hambrook And then finally a quick look at the maps it s looking very busy around Ashton Gate especially on Ashton road which is then also slowing things down on the winter state worried when State of the passed and also congestion on Clannad road than in the opposite direction there keys on Bruno way is traffic gets into the holes area said leave about 10 to 15 minutes actually travel time on one approaches the funny thing to do that is now give us a call in 0880599 but only if it s a from the group d. So be more travel news in 15 minutes like you very much indeed might. Have and The going gets tough the tough get going 13 minutes past. With you on a t s day evening he s going to tough it out tonight then this election debate i.t.v. . And and it is Boris Johnson the prime minister says Labor leader Jamey Copenhagen is going to win that debate tonight us but it will be a lot of mumbling involved if you notice that the. Both kind of do that are you going to be watching it are you going to be turning on tonight or is a turn off for you tell me what you think I want to pull 3 start the message with Bristol it s already been pointed out to me that it clashes with Bristol Rovers and f.a. Cup 1st round reply Bromley which we are of course going to be bringing you commentary from b.b.c. Radio best of from 7 o clock this evening but if you re not listening to that will you be watching the debate tonight have you engaged with the whole thing or have you had enough of the whole thing and what you think I want to pull through is that the message with Brit so you can tweet me at Cadwell to is how you do that now we ve got an idea finally of what a new 17000 seat arena on Filton airfield is going to look like the owners why t.l. Want to redevelop the Bradleys and hangers into a new arena with a conference hall and leisure facilities it does look very fancy indeed to previous plans for an arena in the city center were scrapped in 272018 respectively the idea of building a stadium at the airfield was 1st talked about earlier this year but this is the 1st time that we ve seen formal plants and rebuilding and is the managing director of the white e l a Rena complex we form a submit finalize our planning application this week which which is a significant milestone and you know that s to bring forward 100 percent privately funded built and operated exciting 365 arena complex it s really unique it s a hybrid design without going too technical but it really will you know put Bristol head of its competition certainly across the u.k. If not across across Europe 17000 in full capacity but we can come all the way back and we can attract shows in a theatre style for 4000 people so I m really excited about that design and I think it s. It s as a venue that you know autists and comedians and event organizers will really want to come and performance we can hope and rebuilding him who is managing director of the by tailoring a complex Well here s what people in nearby Brant tree make of what would be the 3rd largest arena in the country right on their doorstep the farmers already there so yeah there s. No additional problem really apart from is going to bring render so much traffic to a ready poor infrastructure of a. Regular design I think it s a good idea for you to place having to go to Cardiff if you want to see somebody really really famous. And we re really pleased they had a concept they re coming here and we didn t hear anything to my son lives right next to it he said it was a minimum so we re really really pleased and yeah massive attack played on the site last year didn t the former marriage bristle George Ferguson says it s poorly thought through and the plans for an arena in the city center should never have been scrapped in the 1st place what we re doing is we re exchanging a people s arena or a green arena arena that people come or can cycle and come by public transport easily too because it would be right in the. In the side West s public transport but we re exchanging that what basically is going to be a pretty dirty arena. Transport because. Unless the plan is a condition it s making on the delivery of the the top a public transport on the railway but the railways are in a way it s token because you d have to change trains to get there and people to bother said drive and this is an arena that would be Bristol s a return to the white c.l. Arena. If this was the b.p. Arena young people wouldn t be going to it because we re now in the extinction rebellion where people really care about these things. The fundamentals are wrong and actually it shouldn t get planning I don t see it s of any real benefit to Bristol having it stuck there it s not going to help the thriving city center it s not going to help. The climbing high street that s a former Bristol George Ferguson remember of course he wanted the arena to be built in the city center by Temple Meads and he pointed out transport there and that is going to be something that no doubt and it would have been the same with if we d had one in the city center of course that is something that no doubt is going to come up time and again I had a chat with Marty Burgess the chair of Bristol at night which supports the city s night time economy to us having it on the rain is going to be a piece of the city when I understand the confidence apart from the ones Ashton Gate You have to travel out of trying to play Cardiff Birmingham London was having our own arena will be great Do you have any reservations about where it is for example very very few I mean ideally yes great hover in the rain in the center but we haven t yet managed to pull that off and far as I can see if we can we haven t been able to afford it yeah I mean why Chiles seem to want to build one like they re going to get one of the grants we are on for the behind it would you have rather it s had some impose some financial impact from this city you know to be a an arena for this city would Iraq that there was financial impact on the sentry Not really I think given given where we are economically I think it s great because the fact that let s go back to the location because you are chair of bristle at night so you care about you know the economy abreast of this that she would be in South Gloucestershire wouldn t it so not I think like a minister in the progress creation is going to go still many. It s just within the boundaries but I mean that whole division of Bristol source close enough some of them were actually one city region and so yeah I don t think I think Bristol like I might spend most of my young as a child any self said and thrive a lot of stuff in there I never say are fast bosses and I ve always said so yeah and I suppose also of course very much depends on where you live if you re in South Bristol then you would have been happy presumably if you wanted and Rina temple made in this case if you re north Bristol much better if it s going to be here you know I think that there is now a good non city to connect north and south better I mean if you are living in. Osho at this Irena then yeah you need to be able to get there so yeah I think the city really doesn t travel as connected and high people so people from France Presse So who I believe it would have been the same so that when center if you go if you re from follow in the sense or not is not the best and easiest to get around I think there is a very much pressure on the city who is connections are because of that location as well you know it s quite near Cribbs It s quite near the m 4 and 5 interchange arm and spring what do you think about the potential for the transport chaos that this could create if there s a massive gig or not how is this city going to cope with that how to cope with it and sent them in if there was a massive gig in the center of the whole city would clock I think that as you said there s a huge burden there on I suppose the city have got. To do something so I or connectivity and. I think it would mean the same with everything from what the say 32. Weeden its way through the city center would have been just as much tonight I think coming off the m quite Amcor in where it is now do you feel like that is a big bad and neither the potential problems of transport I mean which we talk about every day don t we on in the city. Yeah I think. I think they should sue the student oxygene see the sort of collective the problems we do have as a city we don t have you know I would have a mass well told. The boss is not brilliant. And there is no burden on. The city unlike those who like to sit down learn the problem and be. Caught to they soon are now bigoted wouldn t it Marty Burgess they re the chair of Bristol at night which supports the city s night time economy generally very very positive about the idea of having this arena Filson brothers and hangers there I mean something we ve talked about a lot haven t we are baby Sea ready abreast of she makes some very good points that if you are from whole field Filton patch right you are going to love the fact that the arena is up there if you re from South Bristol it s a heck of a long way to go to get there and so you would have preferred if you wanted an arena at all and the one next to Temple Meads station George Ferguson points out there that if you had it next to a station people would have used public transport to get there or would they have there are so many more questions out there if you would like to see those pictures and it does look you cannot doubt that it looks very very nice in the pictures hasn t been built Yeah of course you can see those on the b.b.c.

Is he ready in Brazil now is found in a loft in knoll and is expected selfless thousands of pounds when it goes under the hammer next month a rare and original vintage $960.00 s. Rolling Stones poster from Colston hole featuring the stones on their 1st British tour with the run and Marty wild also on the Bill Andrews style is you actually he s going to be selling the poster. For 5 really rare posts that we are saying is probably the only piece of valuing poster from the concert that night. Come to us from a local person I think they moved into a house in the right 1900 for an old and I They were kind of sorting out that they came across in the loft of Cedar Fair by the previous owners and it kind of stayed with them ever since they subsequently moved house and then I think they were having a spring clean they re going to get what I would pay for doing throwaway And I think they happened to see one of our somewhere and I would just go and get it checked out and then they brought in to us and we discovered this wonderful rare poster it s mostly text so it s right 90 percent text and then there are any little quite poor quality black and white printed pictures of the Rolling Stones and a few of the other acts that link you to the one that broke. Those big bands especially like the Rolling Stones and The Beatles and those early concerts they would play maybe 4 or 5 songs at the end of the night and it was all kind of about kind of building up the suspense for the main act of the night and you know if we paid some of the prices that tickets are these days for maybe 4 or 5 songs I don t think we d be best back and it was it was all about kind of like you know like always like a gang show or you know you have your friends who are from coming dime further on the bill so it s kind of like these great kind of musical events and some of them some of those posters you know not necessarily this one of those this is got a lot of acts on it so you know you see like the Stones Hendrix and hundreds and lots of other people on these concerts on the same night you know these days we call a festival and it goes on for about a week or. So during our research or so we did actually discover that a poster from the coast and all the after 965 sold 410000 pounds that I could find 2 of those in existence was this one here is obviously the 1st tour that they did where they came to Bristol and it was just about as they were on the cusp of becoming really really famous and I would have I would say that there are any of these places in existence because nobody would have kept them or souvenirs they weren t particularly well known at that time and I think this one survived just through probably luck I would imagine so yes so let s see how we get on of the. Deal today he s going to be signing that paper at a house in gray so I know that. I m one. Of them and. B.b.c.

So not that much variance with elevation at the moment it s not going to be a particularly chilly evening or for that matter a particularly chilly night certainly not as cold as last night not expecting any frost or fog for that matter and indeed the breeze from the southeast will become quite noticeable through tonight they will stay dry and tomorrow will then be a breezy day with temperatures up to about 8 or 9 degrees I will probably find on balance that brings a brighter day compared to what we ve just had still cloud around certainly but a better chance of seeing.

Student at the University of Bristol and keeps an eye on the skies and also the rocks in the lab when I m not in the lab music is one of my biggest interests I ve always been in bands throughout high school and 6th form and university and I listen to a ton of music in my spare time. One of my favorite bands is the Smiths I m one of my favorite songs does ask I think is one of Johnny my best guitarist and Maurice s voices Angelica s at the. Roots our son was still you was told things are done such a room area I discovered the Smiths in Manchester shortly after living death and my undergraduate degree back in 2011 I was missing home quite a bit and not really knowing many people in Manchester the Smiths were always death of me to listen to at the end of the day when I was feeling a little bit lonely and a little bit lost soul was. Not allowed a little over a period but pretty much my entire undergraduate degree the Smiths of the only family that I listened to everything else was kind of cerebral I delved into the singles in the Besides I absolutely love them to bits and this is one of my favorites the last time I listened to the song was the small man while walking into the lab I m told and told it was told. Oh the tears are loudly trial runs through the town there s a particular line and ask when Morrissey sings in it to read a line which can you read that s exactly how I think about science as he is the language by which we describe Micha So this song really strikes a chord with the room.

Get someone to let you go in the restaurant. And love that it meant this is I was a teenager that 1st few albums were a real slice of life of what it was like living in the north of England as a teenager but the latest album Tranquility base is very different to their old albums it s more of a concept album about the hotel and casino on the moon and being a space enthusiasts it strikes a chord with me I would love to visit the Tranquility Base Hotel and Casino some point in the future when humans won and settle on the sets of that name. Was I. I. I. I really love the Arctic Monkeys since that 1st album came out and I feel like it s one of the only bands that I followed the career old with and in a in a weird sense I feel really proud of them I just all Rawdon a lot from Sheffield now and real estate on the Moon thanks to our.

Radio Bristol News 7 minutes past 5 well down the cellar Yes we got there you see. We did the news of paper for the 1st time in about 15 years because it was the day that the news died right let s say on the roads because of the sun and I thank you starting on you found them way a little something but a slow traffic especially going northbound from the British Bristol dairymaid Bristol city center towards the m. $4.47 bridge has now one line close g to the strong winds that s in both directions between junction one and junction 2 the travel speed has also been lowered to about 40 miles an hour so the lane is close in each direction for safety just to just because of the winds the m 4 going westbound is looking pretty slow from junction 900 junction 21 Friday afternoon congestion there the m 5 going southbound similar story heavy traffic from Junction 19 to junction 24 caved in into Bristol be a 38 but missed a parade to sing a bit of congestion if it St That s just near the as to Superstore and then having a quick look at the maps the birth rate is still looking particularly busy both directions seeing a better queuing traffic but it s especially bad going northbound queuing traffic for about a mile to be sure to leave about 5 to 10 minutes extra And then fine. Really things are beginning to get a little busy around the Aston gate area ahead of the game especially going southbound there s traffic queuing which is then slowing things down on the when to take underpass and when to start road and staying around Ashton Gate is something to bear in mind this evening if you re traveling later on following the game or Ashton Gate the. Road will be closed in both directions after the match they do be aware of that if you spot anything to let us know give us a call on our 880-5949 but only if it s safe and legal to do so not be more trouble than 15 minutes Also if you know how to fix our news computer do you get into. Right now and I counted about 100 references to ast and that there were many asked of us don t get them confused we ll you know I. Have a b.b.c. Radio Bristol. Was I. Was. I. Was. I. Was. Pet Shop Boys 13 minutes past 5 baby Sea ready a Bristol It is Friday afternoon we re going to be back to Aston get in a battle for as time chatting with Jeff about the big match and of course is going to be live on b.b.c. Radio breast all from 6 o clock this evening and telly addict tame right is going to be in the studio in about half an hour s time as well to tell us what he s been watching this week so we wait and see what tomorrow s special sitting a parliament brings and whether Boris Johnson will succeed in getting his withdrawal agreement from the European Union voted straight by M.P. s target has been having a bit of fun today ever the few tweets suggesting that this deal is very similar to to raise a maze but the big difference is it was struck by a man a bit like when women suggest something in the office and it s ignored than a man suggests and everyone thinks it s a great idea and in the studio we have Katrina McWhinnie who s a lawyer. Strategist and she s also been taking part in the festival of female entrepreneurs in Bristol today Katrina welcome to the show Hi thanks have very welcome lovely to have you on and what do you think about this idea that actually it s sort of a similar deal but it s a bloke that didn t. Turn enough to a degree I I can see that perspective however I think pretty much most of it comes down to lack of charm and charisma on trees amaze part I m sorry she just doesn t have the skills of a leader she was fabulous She s a fabulous politician I don t take that away from her she hasn t had the best of jobs and there s very few that would want to do portraits of May has had to sacrifice. In the last 3 years. But I think it s time for the fact she lacked that charisma and charm and was unable to get both. The u.k. M.P. s on side and also those of the I mean it s an interesting point because I suppose in this particular role and Boris Johnson came into this job and said This is what I m going to do right from the beginning and he has not wavered from the at all. And you have to have this element this extra element of persuasion I suppose yes he s been out there he s campaigned quite strongly and being very forthright that it s a Deal or No Deal. Or do or die as I think you say in NY and yet we are going to leave on the 31st of October according to barge Johnson hopefully he ll be able to well. We ll try and remain a political here because I think a lot people are just bricks if a t. Get. Enough of uncertainty in business I just want to get on with business as usual and say that really Parliament can just focus on our home issues Bracks is a domestic issue and there is so much going on on a global scale right now that that we you case it since have to embrace you re going to be watching it tomorrow I m actually going to be in London Are you Ok so we re going to happen is the debate begins at 9 30 in the morning that will be a stop for some M.P. s and then it goes through until around $230.00 now we don t know if the vote is going to be from then on words or we think there might be amendments or something like that so it could be a very very long day to find out whether Bracks that is going to be approved or this particular deal is going to be approved by and pays Yes 1st of all it was capped at 90 minutes and now they ve extended it with no time limit on it which is probably sensible This is a big decision for our country to make. And it does need that time 3 years Ok we probably nobody anticipated it was take this long we have to remember this is just the start of things we ve still got free trade agreements that can take you. Is to decide to discuss and agree upon so even if we do get a deal tomorrow matters have still got to be discussed and we have to agree the free trade agreement if we can with the so I envisage that there may be yet another extension if we do strike a deal on the political on the transition period I would be highly surprised if we re able to strike that free trade agreement. Funding. What s interesting is that . A lot of politicians have said look I m going to wait and see I m going to actually read it the withdrawal agreement you do wonder sometimes if they actually read the whole. Onion and put you on the spot have you managed to digest any of their scent is it very different to to reason Mays I do not digested the full withdraw till I ve certainly read a lot harangued at the moment I simply don t have time to have a look and compare and contrast the 2 documents together at this early stage. But it does seem that there is very little. Digression from trees a maze of richer nor do I think the main one does appear to be the backstop issue in the Northern Ireland will be part of what in place of the backstop comes a concession to a customs border in the Irish Sea designed to quarantine the new Northern Ireland arguably and protect the e.u. Single market there s a lot that has really been a lot of opinion around this I mean junk has just recently said it is high time to complete a divorce process move on as soon as possible. To negotiate the future partnership with the u.k. And Boris Johnson says we have a great deal I mean that s very British isn t. It yeah yeah waving is a yeah Ok where there are. Yeah there s still a lot to be done even if we can get it through tomorrow is still very much. I think the new the new results have come I turned we are now I. Base is that there s $49.00 undecided eyes are 2 not $292.00 names $298.00 so we re still it s going to very very tight it is it s going to be proper no biting for the government I imagine tomorrow now sorry this is more sequels to it than sed a Star Wars actually it s true. It is incredible and now let s talk about because you ve been at this event today festival of female entrepreneurs in Bristol and all importantly you know talking about the women the role of women in business what was the sort of feeling that you got from the eyes women about you know the whole thing what was the general kind of failing you think. What were they saying I have to be honest the b. Word was pretty much dismissed really unfairly from the discussions today so much focus is on bricks it and there is life beyond bricks that there really is business still happens and it s up to you as a business individual to decide what that looks like the politics of sea left and the politicians but we must remember that we do need to discuss about Bret s it between us as business leaders and that is important because you can gauge when is key in this process engagement with your employees with your suppliers and your customers. I would strongly recommend everybody just start engaging I m talking about it not a political level which is very emotive but from a business perspective what do you have to do to continue to operate on a day to day basis do you feel optimistic about the whole women in business thing you know the fact that you have you know a festival in Bristol talking about it today and you must got loads of new ideas out of it and it must have been a good thing to see all those women together I went along with absolutely no opinion of it I m not a feminist in my kind of stand back from a lot of feminist movements. But I have to say I felt really empowered coming away from that today and thinking Right I m going to review my business plan my shattered and I m going to look at things from a different perspective looking at different funding arrangements and just people discuss and the challenges that women actually have in business. You have to be so organized as a woman in business often they are the childcare they have a double burden Reidy. If you re trying to negotiate the logistics of school your children s diaries which quite often surpassed. What is just trying to be a savvy business leader and keep abreast of business changes. Work on your business absolutely Katrina great to have you on thank you so much very much and you will be watching no doubt or listening or somehow big in touch with what s going on tomorrow cause you well thank you so much I could train here is a lawyer strategist and she s been taking part today in the festival of female entrepreneurs which has been happening in Bristol right in the city now talking a breast still at the latest film from Brazil s Aardman Animations is in cinemas today we ve already talked about it the beloved sheep shorn who 1st appeared in a close shave with Wallace and Gromit is taking off on his own adventure in Shaun the Sheep to call Farmageddon with his genius let s face it Britain s most decorated filmmaker and the film s executive producer Nick Park has been talking to our reporter Nicholas tablet.

Is a naughty shoot and outside the flock really and as executive producer what s your role I get wheeled in I am sort of consulting on the whole process and comedy punch ups we call them which can turn out like that but we watch the movie about a 1000000 times and see how can we Plus this How can make it funnier visual guy shameless puns. Shaun comes from Wallace and Gromit and it s the 30th anniversary and you have thoughts of returning to them in more adventures might that create new characters it s what I love doing really it s what we all.

No Ok Ok no cold in the cold like a maybe just a bit chilly No it s all right place something like leaving impressed the license in South Bristol Anyway you sound fine can t wait to hear this so you can see this is a date is just 20 min then he s going to be live on air from 6 o clock this evening and all the build up and then of course a lot of commentary of the much life I m asked to Gates bristle back against Bath rugby it s a big game. And Claim that new one from the script is called The last time and told minutes to 6 already let s say hello to our telly at it this afternoon 10 right type 10 Highclere How are you really good thank you yeah just back from New York and we re just talking about how expensive it is that so so it s very very painful Ok now you ve been having a look at a few shows this week on the telly and let s start off with Top Boy this is a Netflix series is it yes it is an epic series actually started people might remember it started on Channel 4 and it had a couple of seasons some time ago and it did build out some fans there but it never got picked up for another series but it did pick up one very influential fam which was Drake and Drake decided I want to get more of this and so he is actually producer on this series and took it to Netflix and and so the now we have a new season which is actually 10 episodes previously I think they only did 8 across 2 series so it s quite a lot more and it picks up sort of some years after Yeah and for those that didn t ever see the original series it s about basically drug gangs in a long. And it s kind of not glamorous it s about the kind of gritty and authentic life that these people are leading and it s actually got quite a lot of grime artists in it it s Ok no Isn t it actually Walters who is in So Solid Crew is in it Dave is in it as well and they bring a real kind of authenticity to the language and because they kind of grew up in those places the center fictional estate but instead of very much east London and it s absolutely fantastic it s a little bit violent I would just put that that warning out there yeah but it s one of those shows it s it s kind of not too much of a stretch to say it s a bit like the British version of The Wire Ok using the wire Yes I have seen a couple of episodes of that or say that isn t. You know I know it s cliche in France go on about The Wire but it is a little bit like that in the sense that you know it s not such clear lines between good and bad in it you know there s a new character in it Jamie who is a pretty ruthless gangster but he s also looking after his 2 younger brothers because their parents are around anymore and he s kind of doing the wrong stuff but for the right reasons and yeah you kind of swing back and forth in terms of the way you feel about the characters and it s just a minute side from the authenticity that they re generally great actors as well and it s just such a brilliant show it doesn t try to glamorize any of that live it s a lot about the the ins and outs of it and yeah I d really recommend if you ve got Netflix they ve also got the previous series on there as well so you can watch your friends start and have you watch all of it oh I finished it yeah yeah straight through it was it was a bit of a binge a little bit of a binge but I tell you what despite the fact that it s you know quite clearly not a funny series I did have one laugh in it which was this. When you watch the credits it tells you who these it produces were of course Drake is one of them but it was his real name which is all Bri what yes exactly do you know that. His name is Drake Graham Ok I mean I can see why maybe he adopts a dress you need to I m not sure that hot line bling by Aubrey would have had the saying. Same. So I did enjoy I did enjoy that as well as an aside while you re at it Ok I will be back to him in just a 2nd let s do this. I m 48 the original 7 bridge is open to all vehicles but usual stuff will come off and on again via the roundabouts because of the strong cross winds that s causing queues on the m 4 if you heading Wales bound and the a $43.00 trying to get towards junction on the m 4 Prince of Wales bridge all the way towards the bring blast tunnels at Newport is really slow going Bristol Ashton Gate Bristol Bath in the rugby tonight kick off at $745.00 this free parking at the Brislington park in rides after the match only they ll be a couple of road closures Ashton road and Marsh road outside the stadium the Cumberland basin is really heavy and busy in places on when to start road if you are coming from Bath using the a for it s busy approaching so for coming from the Globe roundabout as ever on Bath road through Brislington temple way and temple gates again because of some road works some things happened only a 46 between Pennsylvania and Durham park traffic bunching up their habits queuing back to. The other side almost to the 46 will be closed both ways later between cold Ashton and junction 18 for resurfacing 8 o clock flights Saturday and Sunday and until the early hours of Monday on London Road and the High Street near the Rose and Crown is heavy because of road works and the updates it s 800855949. Radiographs do you want to go into business and find a way of making money or would it be James Hansen saying I saw one crown while. There was. No use so would you expect for your grandma 79000 and. The school. So how do you feel about being sold for a fiver on b.b.c. Radio Bristol. Not impressed right back to Tim right so we ve had Top Boy that series on Netflix and next choice is motherland it s the b.b.c. Production isn t it yet is a b.b.c. Production I don t know if you remember but some time ago they did this kind of sitcom season where they they put 3 pilots on and you were allowed to choose or 20 that was your favorite and motherland was the one that was that was the favorite They made a series it s now back for a 2nd season and this is not quite the writing kind of line up as Yeah absolutely it s great Linehan Sharon Horgan as well so from the from catastrophe from Black Books and it s great to get from pulling all the. Organ co-wrote and starred in and that is amazing. Only got 2 series and then got dropped it s got it s got serious pedigree this this season one I m not sure it s going to quite enter the history books as some of those ones that we ve mentioned how it is still a really good war if you re after something that doesn t challenge you to March is quite genteel maybe by their standards and is actually just a good easy watch you know it will make you laugh then this is $11.00 for you I think it s still got that lovely dry humor that they re famous for it s obviously you know it s called mother land it s about essentially a mainly a group of moms out there if you dads in there and how they re kind of juggling kind of their kids and their work and their home life and all of those things and at the center is a performance by an american Well Martin Yeah who is absolutely brilliant We re used to seeing here really kind of heavy drummers you know she s always playing police officers and lawyers and she s done Dickens and so yeah yeah she was in line of. The person that try to nail Ted Hastings for. Crimes and you know she s often those or thought Erin figures so to see here in this in a comedic role is absolutely brilliant and she s absolutely nailing it and I do really like just occasionally they just hit you with a line from left field like this one dad in it says one point he wants to change Korean he wants to be a children s author and he d like to be like David Walliams But you know less sinister. And. They still eat just you can almost hear it being delivered by any of the writers that you know because I think it s just that that kind of twist of. Line that sort of famous for and just kind of catches you off guard and really makes you laugh out loud so well in a really good cause made a very strong and finally and I think to my being forced to watch this that circle on you know for. So we ve all we ve all been in a situation where she housemate whether it s your partner which friend you get that sort of watching something by proxy this is basically what happened with my wife over the last few weeks is that she has been obsessed with the circle. How to explain it s basically it s sort of like a kind of game show slash reality t.v. So there s $100000.00 pound prize for the winner and it s basically a bunch of ordinary members of the public who are put into apartments and then they are given access to the circle which is a kind of fictitious social media site which is kind of a bit like an amalgamation of sort of Instagram or Facebook or Twitter kind of all put in one. And the big twist is that they don t have to play as themselves yeah so they can be themselves and they can put their own pictures up and talk in their own voice or they can be a catfish and they can choose to be someone completely. Yeah. Yeah yeah yeah and they can be completely different people one lady decided to play as her son and used. But the one that seems to be being successful is a chap that s playing as. A single mother and he s I mean I think he s like a sort of late twenty s early thirty s Scouser and he s he s playing this young working mom with a small baby and honestly he cannot keep his shirt on whenever he s talking he has to take a shirt off it s unbelievable to watch but I did have this moment where I was I walked in about halfway through one episode and I asked my wife to sort of explain you know what was happening and she made me feel like I was about $100.00 she was like basically you just got to be an influence to get to the top of being an influence and then you can vote for other people and I was like oh my God I cannot know. How to deal with this but it is the final tonight I want it it s 10 o clock if you want to watch the final and one of the catfish is still in right so one person in there is not who they re. Who they actually are and whether the other players will figure it out still remains a mystery and did you catch any of the episodes with Richard Maitland and I did actually younger woman yeah well Judy. Very funny yeah that is very funny and that that probably is the best bit of the show is where it happened as well to the lady that was playing her son it s very hard for people to talk in someone else s voice they think it ll be easy because they know people that are 20 or they know people that are doing a particular job but you know then they start going you know they start putting you know hash tag lads lads lads in or whatever. And and they kind of get you can kind of see through it Richard maybe didn t last very long but yeah you know I. Love to have been in the room when that was pitched you know like we re just going to check in Richard mainly for a couple of days I felt like that was a genius move yeah that has made this series which I watched about 4 or 5 episodes off but I think those were the key moments because at one point he was flirting with. The son of a Norman. Yeah and Woody thought that he was a young woman called Judy and you know there s a lesson for the ins and exactly and he was doing very very successfully I thought although it was it was light you say like the language is different isn t it and he . Is probably a man in his sixty s now and he was struggling with it but it was very funny yeah very very what I knew then is 60 has been his hand he s 30.

You can put that right with 3 to 12 by the way requests from Robert Palmer addicted to love it s not the right answer though Donna in North common you re going for Madonna material girl know why men freedom says Chrissie informed Rita No Mark from. Your saying Simple Minds are live and kicking No Phil Collins in the air says lies in the now no no no no no those who are tweeting on that their Twitter Where s it gone there it is Gary you re also saying Robert Palmer addicted to love in Fishponds no. It s not that. I mean you re a drama you could probably identify from the drums. I normally pretty good but I don t tell you what I guessed no that would be very true because it would ruin the entire format of the program that was there and then then of course we would have to search the studio on fire right. Drug use please it wouldn t be long as a broom cupboard if you re traveling southbound on the Ring Road just go to key for a long while green down towards the Hicks get roundabout take it around 5 to 6 minutes and also temple gate is fairly slow moving as well with 3 at the center now if you re traveling through filtering of course lane is blocked because of a demonstration at Southmead road that s causing some traffic on surrounding reeds pull way beyond 32 in Ok if you heading in on Wells road just a bit busy down towards the 3 legs junction and into winds come got some temper lights on the a 38 just around sit conlang starts looking busy as well and if you heading into both London Road and lower Bristol Road are slow moving but the boats ways and the planes and trains are fine and are more fuel in half an hour it s amazing how people think it s also so glamorous down there and actually you re not you re in a cupboard and I m in a room and no windows there is no shows long in here. You re lucky if you get a pair of working headphones anyway more for you in a half an hour Thank you Farai. John Di b.b.c. Radio Bristol. Sometimes even. When. You go. To some. Of. The material so. We think you know you want to. Believe it is a sign feeling nobody has. The belief. That if you don t say anything. Crazy in Love. So we round 2 of noteworthy which of course follows what round one. Because the 2nd time in just a moment while by Jane who says I m going through chemotherapy at the moment and I often feel noses in order to cope I take my 2 dogs out which sets me up for the day I would even go in the wind in the rain as long as it makes me feel like I ve achieved something. I think Jane has Justin capsulated something in the very last sentence I have achieved something here s the truth and this is my own personal view this is not the views of the b.b.c. This is not based on anything else it s just based on what I ve learned from you who listen to this program and knowing what I have gone through in my 53 years around the sun it s very hard to feel that you ve achieved something on a daily basis because you re constantly having to jump to the next thing or you re constantly feeling that you re missing out and this is why I question the whole mobile phone and use it I sit in the newsroom people just looking at their mobile phone scrolling through feeds all the day they re not getting anything out of it at all there really aren t and then you get people watching t.v. And looking at mobile phones it s it s the sense of achievement that you ve actually done something so I just wonder when you have completed that jigsaw puzzle or you have gone for that war or you have planted that plant or you have baked that cake and you put the icing on it you ve actually done something and it s one of the reasons that I like ironing and I This may sound nuts but when you wire a shirt I on the shirt I wear you take something that s creased you are in it you put it on a hanger you ve done something. Jane I think you re on to something here about mental health and that sense of achievement in a world that is designed to constantly bombard you with information but make you feel like you haven t really achieve anything. Just a thought how you know trading. On. 85594. So 2nd round of noteworthy all I need from you to be no worthy in this actually could be a sense of achievement because if you are no worthy then you have achieved something is you just have to give me the song title and the artist that s all I require song title artist easy peasy lemon squeezy with a cherry on the top here is the 2nd clue. I did tell you that this is probably going to give it to you. Song Title. Artist. 800855949 it s free it s free to Cole Well I mean it s not but I mean you don t have to pay for it I mean someone s paying for all this like. Whole the director general he pays for everything if I were 800855949 coal with you ll guess you just have to give me the correct song title and artist I that make you know worthy you can then gloat all day on the ceiling and indeed until 10 o clock tomorrow morning. a slight girls wet because it was I think last year halfway through the main fireworks display.

Radio Bristol News the time now 6 minutes past 7. And the place. Radio Bristol. Welcome to Thursday s show how well you putting in official complaints about the amount of rain we ve had I feel it s not raining since the 1st of October I ve had enough I m fed up have been permanently damp I don t know about you not as bad as what they re about to experience in Tokyo though as you wake up the small in the last few hours it s been announced that England s Rugby World Cup match against France on Saturday has been called off because of Typhoon I think I m saying that right the typhoon has been described as the biggest of the year and they set to wreak havoc in Tokyo and the surrounding areas now if you already woke up farm What does that mean for Obviously there are great concerns about the the Thai food I appreciate that but from a Ripley point of view it will mean that the match is cancelled it won t be replay replayed both teams awarded 2 points as part of a no no draw an England will progress as well as pool c. It has lots of implications on some of the other matches as well check the b.b.c. Sport website for the latest So on the street today I m asking whether you should be able to vote at the age of 16 both the Northeast Somerset Council are going to discuss it after a liberal Democrat council the council to support the campaign to lower the voting age plenty of teenagers have made an impact by the age of 60 Harry just a few. Weeks I should be back in school on the other side of the ocean. Yet you ll come to us young people for Hope How did you see the I Am the thing goes from getting educate. Desperate fear this big carrot I kept going to school when the Taliban head in now instead you will not go to school so I kept on going because it was the only mission I had that I have to go to school and I did it and it was risky. And. It s all right with all of you know out of your work with. Me. Was a. Huge honor to be doing it got legal scholars in England. Highly pressured moment for the county s quite nervous. Thankfully it went in and. I m such a prominent. So it s a bit like a pop quiz did you get it so in reverse order Wayne Rooney who made his professional debut for Everton at the age of 16 his wife s in the news at the moment for very different reasons but anyway William Hague who spoke at the Conservative Party conference at the age of 16 in 1977 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart wrote his 1st symphony at the age of 8 Mulai use of his eye women s rights campaigner from early teens who was shot by the Taliban at the age of 14 Gretta term bird climate change protest a from the age of 15 and we kicked it all off with One Direction Harry Styles was only 16 when they 1st formed so this morning on the show you were asking whether or not you should be able to vote at the age of 16 what do you think 100855949 Call me now with your thoughts on this all you can text 81 trouble 3 Start your message with the word Bristol Hillary. Is from the University of Bristol students union morning Hillary So how do you I m now 21 now 21 so where do you stand on whether or not 16 year olds should be able to vote. I think it s so important for 16 year olds to be able to vie and I I was able to vote in 2016 but that was 3 I do think it s very in the referendum so I was 3 days off from them because I was $17.18 on the 26th in the referendum was an intern to that so that was really really horrible not to be able to vote but ever since I voted in every election that I ve been able to but I think 16 year olds definitely and 17 year olds need to be able to vote and their voice is socially important and really needs to be had when do you remember that day when you did your 1st ever vote what did that feel like it was it was weird I thought I thought it would feel more like dramatic or like I don t know something big. For me personally I felt proud of myself to be able to go and write and I think being able to be in a position where I could actively do something and see the results of it like in real life was so important for me but it was very anticlimactic often it s like Ok . Yeah I get that all remember as a little girl go with my mum and dad to the polling station and being told it was a very important thing but I never ever told me who they voted for it was you know it was a it was really I didn t want to talk to Mom about it but it was just a thing you didn t you didn t say it was a private thing where is nowadays it s you know everyone likes to express their political opinion what would you say to people who say 016 is too young that you don t know enough that you re not been able to form your political opinions in that way you know you need those extra couple of years and I think there s a few things I would say I think fastly we need to recognise a 16 year olds are already able to do so much right now they can give consent to medical treatment they can pay tax income tax and National Insurance join the armed forces they can join the armed forces so there s so much 16 year olds can do already I think they should be able to have a say in how that shapes from that age and I think secondly and it s really import . That we see that like right now 16 year olds even younger exposed a lot more than they were beforehand before social media before there was like the Internet and I think it s important to recognize that there are a lot more educated than people think whether it s through formal channels only more channels and and it s really really important that we recognize that they are ultimately the future generations are going to shape this country and if we don t get them involved from right now we re going to keep on making decisions that will fit the demographic of the country or here s a life then and when the facts happen there may be political parties no mention any name would be nervous of 16 year olds voting because they may not be that typical you know the typical party voter and that could end up affecting them majority Yeah but I think with political parties what needs to really be recognized and I think this is coming from a point of view where the whole party political system is a bit convoluted for young people because it doesn t seem right now that a lot of people represent what they re saying and I think when we look at political parties they should be representing everybody and they shouldn t just be trying to get the people that would normally vote for them the whole point of the government is someone like rules or that governs for the whole country and presidents have Exactly and so if you re only looking to represent the people that vote for you then you re not representing the whole country and that s not a democracy interesting isn t it yeah Ok so among your you know the students at the university how politically engaged would you say generally they are I think Bristol is a very peculiar university because students are more politically engaged than we normally see so I think I m in terms registrants of Bristol students have registered to vote like on mass and I think that s a great thing to come and I went to Bristol graduated from that. University and I work for university that has such. Politically engaged you this is you don t actually care about what s going on in the wild I miss I mean courage and I was seeing that all over the country more most leaders get involved in politics and political activities and it s great I think they re really engaged Thanks Hillary thanks for being on the show you know that s Hillary Jeb I have a bio there from the University of Bristol students union a motion calling on both the Northeast Somerset Council to support lowering the voting age is going to be debated later today the conservative groups that have confirmed that counts as will be voting against the motion saying on balance they believe 18 is a suitable age now Bristol adopted a policy for 16 year olds to vote a couple of years ago but for a change to the voting age that would requirement require the government to actually change the law so even though you may adopt the policy doesn t necessarily mean that it s going to happen he s a quarter past 7. Ok let s get the latest b.b.c. Radio Bristol News Headlines Thursday morning 10th of October his Richard the outgoing chief medical officer for England has called for a ban on aging and drinking on local public transport campaigners in the village of selfhood say they re exasperated at a lack of progress over plans for a new train station and a special service will be held today to unveil 5 new data plaques at a Presto park Scott the weather forecast Emily Wood is at the Weather Center for us this morning and many are on board have been damp now on board.

Yeah campaigners have been calling for a railway station insult for for years tonight a motion will be put before bangs Council calling for a detailed study to be carried out to see if it s possible all I would say is I know what s coming up on our i wouldn t I wouldn t get over excited or just trying to like you know temper your expectations should 16 year olds be able to vote is something we re talking about on the show today you ve been getting in touch and says I have for a long time been in favor of 16 year olds voting not all people including adults are able to make an informed decision or want to be. They should be given the opportunity on the other side though Clive and Stapleton says the world revolves around coma coma us if you aren t in work I don t believe you should be able to vote unless you re contributing into the system to get your point Clive lotsa 16 year olds they will be working and paying taxes but does that work the other way that any age if you re not contributing does that mean your right to vote gets taken away that would be a big thing to suggest thank you for getting in touch though should 16 year olds be able to vote we ll talk more about this later oh wait 100855949 is my number and it s free to call the show you get much for free in life these days also you can text one trouble 3 Start your message with the words Bristol right on your bike ladies. Give me a bike give me a give me a spin on the sound of the rain I have to school I love to swallow I was on my income it was that a fact bottom goes which I didn t think well it would be appropriate for me but apparently men in Bristol are twice as likely to travel regularly by bike than women lots of women have said they never ride a bike the was is my but Bristol based charity lifecycle u.k. Is launching the 1st though women s cycling charter today to try and change this and hopefully inspire more women take get on a bike Poppy Pret is from lifecycle Good morning why why women not doing this well I think one of the main reasons is that they think cycling is dangerous and we really want to change the narrative around this lots and lots of things in life are dangerous if you don t know how to do them properly cooking walking across the street driving a car and what you do is you learn how to do that. Things like learning to cook you learn very gradually over many many years but what we re not doing is teaching people how to cycle on road so they may be able to ride a bike but that doesn t mean they can ride on the road so we really want to change the narrative around this and inspire women to think about cycling for short every day journeys is this a is there a perception that women and men view the risks differently then I think there is I mean we I haven t gone into that in any great detail looking at the risks at the perceptions that they have but men a much more likely to cycle men are much more likely to think oh I can get a bike I haven t been on one for years but I can get a bike and work out how to ride it whereas women won t do that and one of in fact you were just saying oh there are many things that are free in life actually we offer free cycle training in Bristol so women and men can have 3 free sessions and the idea is really to give people the skills that they need to cycle on the road safely the other thing that we do is we show people good routes because people are like oh you know I don t do that road yeah yeah and they think they have to go the same way that they would drive a car and it s simply not true that there are a load many many other routes there are some bad cycle infrastructure there s some really great cycle infrastructure and then there s all those roads in between that you can use to to make your journey how much are the periphery so important I m thinking about so say someone was contemplating instead of our dinner getting the bus or even using their car to do that commute they could cycle but if at the other end there wasn t a shower facility or a safe place to park their bike or whatever how much impact does that have on their decision I think that s really important I mean obviously you know a shower might depend on the distance you re going you may not need a sheriff you re only going a couple of I can t believe what. I get sweaty just thinking about my show. But yes. Parkin you know if you go out and spend some money on a bike and it gets nicked a week later then obviously you re going to be extremely upset so good cycle parking is really important and part of this women cycle charter is calling on organizations to make their workplaces cycle friendly if they make them cycle friendly for women then they ll be cycle friendly for men too and when I say that what I mean is you know women for example if a workplace was to say to their female staff Ok We re going to make sure that you cycle training is available to you yet then they might be encouraged to do it men probably a less likely to want to cycle training for example so is the main excuse the perception of danger and safety yours anything else that women are so I think the main reason is is danger and poor infrastructure which is kind of part of the same the same picture to there all the other reasons I mean some people genuinely you know they have too far to go some people like me have a delicate undercarriage. And it might be. Possibly that it might just be that people buy excess out wrong for the and you know the bite slightly too small slightly too big the handle bars are a bit too far away a bit too close so there s all sorts of you know part of the training as we hope you get your bike set up now roughly Now this is a positive thing this is not about like oh it s a struggle women aren t cycling so let s remind people the benefits of getting on your bike well that I mean there are numerous bearing in mind the show finished at 9 Ok. All right Ok and be quick so well obviously it s very affordable form of transport it s very environmentally friendly everyone will know we ve got a climate crisis we ve got an air quality crisis to congestion it s crazy and it s so it s a sustainable form of travel and it s very healthy so you know if you want to get a bit fitter this is a really great way to do it you don t have to build going to the gym. Something into your day you can cycle to work and home again and you ve kind of killed 2 birds with one stone so lots of positive reasons to cycle so what s happening today what should people data find out more about your charter Ok so they can look on our Facebook page on Twitter or on our website which is lifecycle u.k. To the u.k. They can stand up to the charter so we d really love people to sign up but we ve also got through the signing up it s the easy bit then we ve got a list of different actions people can take there whether they re individuals or whether they re part of an organization that s in different actions which are things like you know get some psycho training or you know if you love cycling and you re a woman why do you take your girlfriends out for a bike ride encourage them to give it a go because we think that you know the great thing about women is that they kind of if they learn to do something they often share it with their family their children and their friends so it kind of cascades down good luck and thank you for telling us about are those poppy brats from the breast store based charity life cycle u.k. Today is the launch of the Bristol women s cycling charter to encourage more women to cycle regularly and if it s something you ve been a millionaire in about check out that cycle training because it could be something just as simple as getting your bike set up right and you could be up up and go and big bottom small bottom wide bottom narrow bottom delicate undercarriage or not. Was from Weston super Mare to bar the only way to them and. B.b.c. Radio Bristol was. Was just on 730 on Thursday morning listening to Emma Britton on b.b.c. Radio Bristol with the news Richard Lawson have a clash as a been reported in northern Syria where Turkish ground troops have joined an air offensive against Kurdish forces Turkey is facing internat. No criticism because Kurdish a Fighters it considers to be terrorists played an important role in defeating the Islamic state militant group there are now worries that i.i.s. Could make a resurgence councillors in Bath on northeast Somerset are being asked to consider firmly supporting a campaign to allow 16 year olds to vote a motion proposed by the Liberal Democrats is to be discussed by Baines later Bristol adopted a similar policy in 2017 ultimately up to the government to make any changes to the voting age well Hillary Gebbie. From the University of Bristol students union it s really really important that we recognise that they are ultimately defeats generations are going to shape this country and if we don t get them involved from right now we re going to keep on making decisions that will fit the demographic of the country oh here s he s alive again they re going chief medical officer for England says eating food on buses and trains should be banned in the sugar tax extended to help tackle childhood obesity and a final report Professor Dame Sally Davis also wants the marketing of less healthy food and drink to be phased out across all media and major public venues the government says it will study the report closely and act on the evidence their demands for a new plan for a train station and so ferde is after a decade of frustration from residents and campaigners who want a new station on the Great Western line between Bath and Bristol it s like counsellors n Bains will be asked to back a detailed study and plan for progressing the project. And the cycling charter is being launched in Bristol later today to encourage more women to Cycle Research shows that men in Bristol are twice as likely to travel regularly by bike than women and many women say they do never get on a bike because of fears of a safety inadequate infrastructure. A man from Africa who s helped who was helped by a family from North Somerset more than 30 years ago says he wants to find them to thank them for their help Marco were Kayser from Kenya was sponsored in the 1980 s.

And every so b.b.c. Radio Bristol. Day is World Mental Health Day and on the show before 8 o clock a University of Bristol student who go in touch a couple of months ago saying he d really like to talk about student mental health his name s comrade and I called him this week and in our Chairman how do you come out he says well. On Thursday is his best day couldn t say no he s going to be on the show before 8 o clock I m really looking forward to talking to him now if you are a rugby fan something has happened overnight while you were sleeping the England against France game in the Rugby World Cup on Saturday has been called off because of a typhoon that s heading for Tokyo so it s been described this typhoon as the biggest of the year it s set to apparently wreak havoc in Tokyo and the surrounding areas so they ve called off the England France game it won t be replayed it will be a nil nil scoreless draw so both teams will get 2 points it means England will progress as winners of pool say 2 points ahead of fronts in 2nd place the issue being Scotland if the Scotland Japan much was to be called off under tournament rules it would mean Scotland would be likely to be knocked out of the World Cup So that s a very different situation isn t it so current situation England France cancelled Ireland Samoa on Saturday morning and Australia Georgia. Set to go ahead because obviously in different locations as it stands for the Sunday games which include Scotland and Japan a review is going to be made on Sunday morning because it will depend on the damage caused by the typhoon the day before you can read more on the b.b.c. Sport website but yet for rugby fans that sir that s a bit of a blow this morning. Trains between Bath and Bristol are as quick as they ve ever been but building railway stations Well that remains a very very long. Arduous process just ask everyone living in the village of salt on the a for between Preston and bath that could be you it s crying out for a station the line runs past the village and residents of long campaign for railway station but any new platform seem a long long way away here s our politics reporter Pete Simpson. Ok so we don t have steam trains anymore I mean what noise would you use to depict a train. Yeah fair enough however the overriding sound rail campaigners in the village of sorts for it make it into a horny one but this part of. The harrumph thing is because despite campaigning for the best part of a decade despite support from whichever political entities in charge of the local council and despite positive vibes from Network Rail. A new station insult for it seems as far off as it ever was. It s mentioned very briefly the station in the latest regional transport plan under the section vaguely headed old investment schemes under development a part of dosh was set aside by the council 4 years ago to progress the project but that s not been spent only listen to this people living in the village of salt food discussing the prospect of a new station in 2011 so for us a population of 5000 people the station shut in the early seventy s and since then the village is probably grown by about 40 percent of the I 4 was busy from about 7 o clock on words to about 10 o clock and 2 days ago I was a part time to come in here will cover me for 2 or 3 hours in the morning. He said no and I asked him why because he said that the traffic light tonight a conservative party motion will be presented to Baines Council it demands the new Liberal Democrat leadership and I quote the cabinet to commission a detailed study when resources allow which sets out their plan for providing salt food with a railway station. Aka pull your finger out after all it was part of the Lib Dems manifesto on which they swept to victory in Bath and Northeast Somerset in May. If the plan is to encourage public transport use remove cars from busy roads for help the environment isn t infrastructure like this but the most priority issue for you with the city is. Politics reporter Pete Simpson so the conservative group in both the northeast some a set of commotion tonight calling on the liberal democrat control Council to go ahead with plans for a new railway station in sulphide But the thing is if it went ahead it would need the support of the only the council but Network Rail on the west of England combined authority so we asked all of them where they stand on this business basically the Liberal Democrat group that controls both the northeast and that council says it supports the idea but has got no means of delivering it Wacker the west of England combined authorities say they support the idea but they didn t give us any detail on how it might happen and Network Rail statement Well can I just say it doesn t suggest it will be happening any time soon sorry self it just come 228 let s have a look at the papers our guest today is Lisa Beazley you say mindful eating and body image coach from West trim Good morning morning I m a lovely to see you what do you make of that story on the front page of The Times tell us the story 1st I guess you re probably not surprised I went for this one that s right time and yeah. So leading story in The Times this is about a proposal to ban food on trains Ok so the outgoing chief medical officer says that eating and drinking must be bound on trains and buses to tackle a.b. City keyword outgoing So I think that s what you call in the industry a mike drop I m just going to say something leave it here and then I m off what you re about I guess I mean I just. I don t I can t see this helping I really can t I think this is kind of about the nanny state to me like you know the rules we have around food and stuff like that and for me you know telling people they can t eat on trains is not going to make a difference to how people Homan things so it s for me it s much more around education. Getting to the root cause of why people may be a very and it s not even true that all people who are in larger bodies a very anyway so yeah Jenny you were doing a really long journey you know like Penzance to Edinburgh I know you couldn t eat the entire way I mean like that s just not a thing really no I think I think we need to be allowed to do what we want to do and if we ve got issues we need to get to the bottom of them not just say we re going to have portion sizes or you can t do this or you can t do that interesting Ok let s move on to the Daily Mail what you picked out from the Daily Mail Today Ok so well this so this one s in the female section of the Daily Mail This is about Sarah Ferguson and one of one of her children got married recently and stories were around have fantastic she looked anyway so Fergie has opened up around all the cosmetic surgery that she s hat Ok so it one way it s a nice story because she s being open around how she looks you know why she looks like the way she does but it turns out she s had Botox a thread lift laser facelift organic fillers and vitamin injections to look the way she does. If you can afford it. You know is that a problem I don t know is it for a cut for water now so I mean you know my head naturally goes to the serious side so for so for me this the backstory to this is all around that we re kind of not allowed to age as women you know where we re soft. Expected to not age to strive to look younger to have procedures you know all which is all around actually that we re not allowed to get older when really if you think about it getting older is a privilege why we constantly trying to not get older and I find this is a general sweeping generalization sweeping you get to a certain age and then you embrace sure aging you start every sentence with well I m 87 you know yeah you know I m not quite there yet I m not like this obviously So I mean about embracing the age and I don t know I m contradicting myself but I just I just think you know why can t we just be as we are instead of having to constantly wish people something different Yeah I always like it when famous people are nice they are tending that trait wake up in those Instagram photos with a full face of makeup and false eyelashes Yeah if I went to bed with false eyelashes on they d wake up on my chin. And then you d wonder where those Has it come from right Daily Express next yes I want to like to know I was just flicking through this them as a story 1st up a story that about Duffy leaving casualty nurse stuff a nurse Duffy is leaving after 33 years.

Dons having a gas from 6 an abrasive b.b.c. Radio Bristol. Coming up after 8 o clock should 16 year olds be allowed to vote their feature that we re voting on usually So I think 16 year old most of them able to make decisions about things that they won not biting the ball they have in formulation been used by the. They haven t lived long enough in the world I would suggest to 20 world counsellors in both the north east Somerset looking at the idea of votes for 16 year olds today I ll talk more about after 8 but if you ve got an opinion get in touch let me know what you think should 16 year olds be able to vote oh wait 100855949 days my number. Today is well out mental health day now it s an annual event to raise awareness of mental health issues all over the world and a University of Bristol student go in touch to ask if he could talk on the radio about his experiences of being a student in Bristol and how that s affected his mental health. And when I found out that today was also comrade Jennings 20th birthday I couldn t say No good morning and Happy Birthday more on that like no maybe I ll start the 20th best aping life on the right you know it s very unique. You are no longer a teen and I no longer tell the grown up it s going. Ok so. When I got your e-mail which was a couple of months ago now I thought I m definitely going to do something about that because you seemed really passionate about talking about mental health to students so how would you describe mental health problems at the university is it something you see on a regular basis I say I see a lot in young people definitely I mean I ve got. A lot of friends who do suffer from you know mental health is a very wide spectrum it s not just like depression it anxiety can be anything yeah and. I ve noticed is that people don t really know how to cope or how to how to go about it you know they sort of the have a problem and the 1st the 1st thing I would say is definitely talk about it you know you have to all you have to open up conversation Yeah it s very hard trust me you know I went through it all myself and definite The hardest part is that is the starting point you know getting to talk. And do you think university life contra p. In general not just in Bristol but contributes to people s mental health as a precious thing do you think I think there s obviously a lot of pressure regarding universities you know you come from a school and then you re thrown into the deep and you know you don t know anyone really you got to make new friends you know you re away from home you ve got a long time was precious all builds up but it s more responsibility yeah lots more songs but it is exactly. The problem is like it will just. It does apply a massive pressure on the individual. And it s the coping mechanisms like people that don t know how to cope and that s when you know you see sort of like a slip in mental health and people s dog going down the slippery slope that has mental health issues now when you and I ve been chatting you described your own mental health as a rollercoaster Yeah and immediately that struck a chord with me because that s how I describe my mental health and sometimes I go on that right a coaster on a daily basis or an hourly basis and some days I can be on a really level for weeks and weeks and weeks and he s When I heard you tell it like that I was like oh my goodness it s not just me and that was a real proof to me about you know the importance of talking and sharing. Definitely I mean what people don t seem to. Think or understand is that. You talk to people that say they have Men s of issues and they don t necessarily know how to go about it but they they feel isolated I mean that is the most common thing I d say with Men s of vision is you feel isolated you feel like you re on your own you don t you feel like you don t have anyone to turn to and it will just builds often that is the problem in speaking to you before I did several because to because some days you have good days and then before you know you wake up and it s completely swept off your feet because it s just very up and down and mental health is something that needs to be talked about more. When you experience trouble with your mental health university what kind of how did you get and was it good help did it did actually make a difference when I finally got the help from the I went through the university route because Christine of us it does offer a support system when I finally got the how. Far they ll come out Steinem and I have to say the counseling was actually I had 2 or 3 I think throughout the year and all of them lovely people really helped I mean the problem is it is so over subscribed in the universe you can t cope with this oversubscription. I read an article where said the ever shoot downs to a 52 days before saying someone a lot can happen in 52 days who you might have spent 50 days plucking up the courage to say you needed help yeah now and if you then go away another 5th well to all my 1st application that I submitted I got rejected. From the counselors of a saying. I. I don t I don t know how they phrased it best I didn t fit the criteria was on this it wasn t bad enough some was up anyway for months later I had the maximum out counseling that they could give you at the university and our main Let s talk about what you ve done because you ve not only took about this you ve actually done something actually tangible haven t even designed your own claim you think Bratton is actually one of them was a cult it s almost the idea behind it basically you know cause ugh. In the name of Allah fashion if you go on in my friends when they are mad on clothes love studying history by the way not fashion I have studied fashions this thing like yeah yeah but fashion is definitely I think so I love fashion and an old friend of mine turned around to me when I was feeling I was I love you feeling like I want to do some of the stuff and I thought what can I do for myself with all the fashion one let s not get along and I was quite funny because the name into a cause is a metaphor for depression because what can a car do and those that I think nothing useless covers the truck so yeah what I ve done is a correct claim run in the car as we partnered with a great jockey to how. May who suffer from depression because it is the leading killer for men under 50 I believe. So we partnered with them or proceeds all the profits that we got from the sales they go to come and hopefully we can help some people out and I thought that thank you for giving not having to go but I knew best tight so being so I put it on I asked him for doing giving back because I think that s pretty had no With Thank you you are the perfect guest on wild mental health day if people are to find out more about what you think they. Are Instagram is in the old thought caused the clothing is not the. Everything s all not basically the cloves you can buy through the there s a link to the website. If anyone listening has meant to have issues and feel that they need someone to talk to my out is current Jennings message me I m more than happy to speak to some people if you go on that talk about we just get people talking as well myself that I think you know we need to really push.

Radio Bristol the time now is 30 minutes past 2 and I m delighted to welcome you to the seat of the wonderful singer songwriter and multi instrumentalist Amy Stewart hello I m a hi it s Amy stuff I sang What time is I should know this I could name I m so sorry is it Danish Yes. Well I knew it I ve always had a problem with the Danes your family going back from Denmark clearly and they used to organize travelling funfair as Didn t I Yes So they came from I guess Denmark with travelling musical fun fact is that I had lion tamers and that I have about but the but you know they really living wagons were. Trimmed everything is usually I mean at the time of course animals were integral to entertainment I mean there was no such thing as caring about animals so it was all part of the fun wasn t it and I ve always had a soft spot for Denmark house like Peter Schmeichel the old goalie with the national team I was like advertised bacon on television at one point on the. Vegetarian Well we had a group of violinists called with the starts in the 1700s that used to play in the world Danish school orchestra and I think that s as far back as we ve been able to go yes with the family tree stuff but let s talk a bit about your family you are from a very musical family your dad Richard himself was a violinist and conductor and perform with some great artists overnight Yeah just give me an idea of the range of artists he s perform with so he s toured with like Shirley Bassey Roy Orbison The Rolling Stones The Beatles. I mean the list is endless and he s only every bit of film music you could think of Star Wars he s even like he s even the violin solo in the snowman cartoon when all the snowmen advancing with Santa I see some to that to be honest I forgot on but you know it ll be on again this Christmas Day Well he s obviously a prodigious Lee talented individuals he s still busy these days and it s you know I mean he does the odd thing I mean he conducts still conducts the symphony at The simply answer. And just does Christmas concerts I think and then you know his He s really well known in that side of the industry so I think you know friends ask him to do things but I think he s eased back a lot and that someone saw him get on a better very busy career just quickly talking about it working over the years I mean Roy Orbison has become an icon so. What a voice I mean he nobody could touch people like Roy Orbison couldn t his voice What do they do with the Beatles your father they don t do you know what he played strings on a tour I think are fantastic I think it s even just like with Bowie and he kept that secret until like 6 months he was writing a book on my. Face Now your mother is also a musician a name is Delia you know I thought they I think they met at the Royal Academy of Music they said yes yes and there was a meeting of minds I suppose Do they ever play together. They do you know Yeah actually they do they put together this little thing where my mum paid plays piano and my dad. Play strings when they met I think my dad was dating my mom s friend could used to be known as juicy Lucy harsh Oh yes she probably dried up since and now your childhood in Bournemouth was marked by your rebellion you were rebellious schoolchild Yes well cause I was a boredom was it just because your mind is so sort of all over the place I don t know it you know I think it was a mixture of things I think it was natural inclination to be known and also I don t think I was very well because I because I had a hip thing that happened and then I think that sort of Chick it my mental health and then so for years I was undiagnosed bipolar but I didn t know about it so it wasn t taking any medication so I think that was sort of affecting and then rule the whole mines of being a teenager did your parents despair at points when you were a bit naughty Yes Yes Do you feel guilty about my mom read my diary once was not. It was not I don t know what we were allowed to talk about my radio but I m going to keep it p.c. And and yeah I know but she was very upset and I was very sensitive so well you mentioned you re a problem you had a rare bone disease in your hip you how rare is it to many people really really rare how did they get to oh my God it took forever to get diagnosed everyone thought that the reason I couldn t walk was because I was getting a paying was. Because my bones were going to fast for my muscles all these other theories I was doing all this physio that. Was actually making it worse and it s because. This hadn t been seen since the 1920 s. And it was only ever seen in knee sockets and essentially what it does is it fines like. A blood clot sort of the knocked my hips somehow just being a kid and it gets in there and it just basically eats and dissolves your Byron course it s all in the control and I go yes fine but you know I mean I skip I missed being in a wheelchair for the rest of my life by like a hair and I remember I mean obviously this is I was like 12 but I remember my mum the muscle wastage and not being able to walk having to learn to put one foot in front of the other again because you just came back from the brink really didn t you yeah I mean I was in hospital for a really long time for that and. You know my mum brought keyboard in so I could carry on writing my songs and used to go down to the cafeteria and play music on the piano in the cafeteria to the other sick people in hospital in fact that s why I m going to be I want to put together a hospital tour and tour all the hospitals around the country just playing shows in the well the audience won t get a walk out well they should be good enough to stay as you mentioned you hone your songwriting when you were on well I knew eventually recorded your 1st 2 damn demo albums and got signed to poly door didn t you yes your debut single just to go released in 2002 and then misfit which went to number 6 in the charts people might recall did and just so go the 1st one went to number one and on radio play in the States as well Blimey I didn t know that and the debut album for Smalls went gold quite extraordinary I mean for you as a young girl at that time how did you feel in middle of a whirlwind when you yeah I mean when it was quite it was quite a dramatic life shift Yes because one minute I m just this girl that spends all her time in the writing room and on breaks at school and then the next. You know I m I m in this office and there are all these awards everywhere and I m talking to these really quite intimidating I mean I found it when you were 1314 you wrote a 30 year old is like well that s a really old person and yes and I was quite intimidated by the whole thing but it was amazing it suddenly launched me into this I was suddenly flying all around the world and traveling to meeting all these interesting people and writing songs with these other people that I ve never written with other people before and it was it was just so nice you know it was amazing experience but often it s really obviously a lot of pressure as I used to try to deal with that pressure by pretending that it wasn t really happening. You were I think on the tail end of when it was actually possible to make real money for music is thing yeah since I haven t though it literally was at that moment because that s why we didn t carry on I think we didn t carry I m releasing music in the States because we released the 1st single went to number one on radio and then something happened with m.t.v. Which was a big deal at the time Universal Records didn t put out freaked out Napster happened new universe freaked out didn t put enough records out into the shops so everyone downloaded online and that literally was the moment that online downloading started happy and the income stream for artists like you suddenly vanished and these days the way I make money is from touring isn t it where you did end up making a 2nd album my paper made men you moved to New York briefly what was the impetus for that. No one s asked me about that part of my life yeah. Was it for love it was yeah it was for love I was madly in love with somebody and which a lot of this album is about how it is about. My current album it is about that transition from 2 of my 2. Great loves that I had in my life and this was the 1st this was my 1st full long sledgehammer hit falling for somebody and it wasn t very healthy and it wasn t he wasn t very nice to me and I was very sick at the time and I didn t know why that was that this was sort of just as I d had a nervous breakdown and then I was put on medication which actually you shouldn t be I later found out if you have bipolar because actually it makes you super manic so I just had this whirlwind move to New York with this guy and it didn t go great how long we were actually there for. A few months I was there for. I did a few very regretful for what was not right almost well because you moved back to this country to look at some of your family and one thing another but you went quiet for a while and now you ve come back with your your 3rd album which is actually going to be released I think in October isn t it properly is the actual official release yet you ve done it together with Toby Kidd Now for those unfamiliar with Toby tell me a bit about him Ok So Toby kid is probably one of the few actual geniuses that I ve ever met in my life. When I met him I was instantly fascinated with him. I could I could just I could just you know. Right away to say waxworks lyrical wax lyrical about him but we ended up starting to see each other he became a very important figure in my life and we would write music together co-produced together. Live together I mean I think you know it was kind of like a marriage we would to gether about 6 or 7 years. And he was there throughout all of this 10 year journey and you re still probably with him or you Yes So when we when we split obviously like I knew that when we split I just didn t want to lose him from my life. Very different to other exes it was someone that I wanted to sort of ease ourselves into a position where we were like family and I actually didn t take too long and and now he is like he s like a member of my family and one of my best friends and I you know I love him dearly but the album proper happiest girl in the universe is released officially next month but you ve been sort of releasing tunes from incrementally haven t you let s just briefly talk about those tunes because you were saying when the record was on a moment ago they tell the story of your life don t know yes so I didn t know at the time but I was writing about what was happening during those 10 years. For example overdoses after an overdose attempt when I found myself in a hospital and they had a piano there and I wrote overdosed so these sort of. At the end of these 10 years I realized that it looked to me and felt to me like a book of my life a sort of autobiography of those 10 years and the songs were chapters and so I thought so I ordered the album in order of succession and I just thought I m not doing the whole singles thing I m just going to release every song every chapter of this. Book. Every 6 weeks and so that s what I ve been doing when you had that overdose How close did you get to succeeding I tried it a few times to be honest but because I was so physically used to the drug. You were immune to it where you just said. My tolerance level was I was taking way over the lethal dose but it but my tolerance level was too high say what I was one point where I did feel like the life of me was kind of like going up into the sky outside of my back window but that s what I put into that I was I Well thankfully you re right now you seem by and you seem like a bundle of joy which is nice so that the story of the old music scribe is a narrative story of depression hope and redemption I suppose there is light and of the tunnel is there it s funny I mean I was seeing this album as quite a depressing album but actually the people who have listened to it said to me that they find it very hopeful and that she kind of triumphant and that they find it really comforting to listen to so so that s I think that s actually quite nice that s come from and where it s described as haunting cinematic pop the album itself is going to be released properly next month in fact you got some to launch party haven t you yes we ve got an album launch gig slash party on the 9th of October at Victoria and Alston How do you feel about going live with the album doing performances my lover can t wait it s a great and I love sitting there and talking about the story we told you think ultimately yeah I was already got I ve got a Northern Tool book which I m just about to announce for this November December and then hopefully a servant or just after Christmas well if people are more details they even have to look at Amy s website although her name is Amy start it s a nice day yeah which is a dot com I should mention that you find details there of course of all the music and any future live dates we re going to play the track which is called Sleepwalk which is 10. About the lyrical content what s it about I m especially about it s about having successfully and it s about when I just fast retire and from. New York and it s about being lost in London and finding comfort with somebody else and it was during the London riots so the streets were literally banning outside of our windows and yeah that s when it was written well thank you so much for coming today I mean every success in the future with a musical career and your continued recovery as well I can wish you well she is likely. a forthcoming album the happiest girl in the universe which is released next month more details about Amy at her website.

I ve got rather nice romantic view of the odo ISIS with the palm trees and little spring in the middle where you can get refreshing water after trekking through the desert and being famished maybe some of the date palms there as well I wonder whether the above a boy s oasis of negatively affected the image of Oasis does the queen know how to tie shoelaces has she left it too late to ever learn I mean what was in Bend over these days plus if you were the farmer employing that oboe paper how would you discipline her after she repeatedly lost your shape if I slack practices in it would be instant dismissal or maybe a final written warning if you ve got a view or not maybe you do have strong views give us a call. 8 find. Next up on the show then your guide to winkle. After the Super Bowl. Please. To. Sierra I m thinking about you the time now is 22 minutes to 3 Steve Yabsley with you on this Friday afternoon thanks for tuning in let s take a look at tell Winkle shall we the common peril when coal or when coal it s a species of small edible welcome or see snail a Marine gastropod mollusc it s got Gail s and a little shell need to protect its soft body Here s a bit of information about finding them preparing them and cooking them if you want to have a crack at it. When Calls are a robust intertidal species native to rocky shores and the wonderful forage of Monaco Why would you look at her websites Monica wild with an e dot com She s got tips on how you can deal with them she says you can identify when caused by that color their dark gray when they re black when they re wet but they re dark grey with a white edged opening and their shape and size is small and rounded try not to confuse them with well which are much more pointed and lighter in color and they ve also got a mushy texture which is worse. Head to the sea shore with a bucket low tide and collect them from the rocks if you visit sandy areas you ll have a job getting rid of the gritty sand later on unlike limpets Winkles detach easily from the rocks and they like to collect together and hide in damp clefs and the edges of the rocks together when coals with the freshest flavor of void foraging for them in the warmer months of May June July and August purge the wing caused by putting them into a bucket a sea water make sure all the wing calls a covered in water you can do this by using a pram that there is small enough to fit into the bucket and then pushing it down so that all the Winkles are in the water. If you don t do that then the the Winkles will make a bid for freedom they ll climb up the sides and they ll end up being sand in gritty leave them soaking for 3 to 4 hours but never longer than 12 hours next you want to steam the wing course which I must say does surprise them by putting a small amount of fresh water in a big pan and bringing to the boil and you might want to add a splash of white wine brandy or cow for dos once the liquid is boiling at the wing close to the Palm. The Winkles a small and they were packed tightly together it s best to do in smallish batches that will mean that they steam even the steam for about 4 minutes and then drain with a calendar remove the wing course from their shells either with a specialist Winkle pin a fine skewer or unfolded paper clip take a winkle in one hand and the pin in the other at the entrance to the shell was a little late small brown hard flake of shell that cannot be eaten if the lid is a little open put your pin in and catch the Winkle and pull gently the cold body will come out on the lid is discarded if the lids a bit closed gently prise or open with the pin once all the wing calls a dish out put them to one side and they can be stored in the fridge like this for only a day or so and then serve them warmed through with a little bit garlic butter delicious Hello Jane in prison 10 she says her friend went when called picking and got a good hole in a bucket the next morning although when course had escaped and they were all over the caravan this is it you ve got to incarcerate them in some way because they re plucky little characters. And talking away Channing King s words been in touch she would feel sorry for Little Bo Peep if she lost her sheep she thinks Little Boy Blue leads her astray most of the time she often loses her sheep when she s trying to count them as she s trying to sleep many thanks to an in King s word lovely Next up on the program or Martin will join me with.

City center that slow going as well there also may be heading further north from the M 5 just setting up 2 of the Michael Wood service is still new fuel available at the lorry pumps heading into his West End on the A 370 of the M 5 slowing patches and still the late in Rock Springs for the A 30 Bristol Road not up on the previous collision the course in amongst the road work section for me Geoff in 15 minutes strolls tot mom thank you.

To play and to be on air again loving this level of the notion. That it was OK and we know was going to actually have to be seen radio Bristol have a gas B.B.C. Radio Rovers fund that your programme your thoughts are welcome on the yes season so far early doors I know early doors I know but it s a good home record not so good away from the Memorial Stadium your thoughts are welcome gives a call 08805949 text 81 trouble free with 21 at the front of the message or drop me a tweet via. 20 Monrovia s at home to turn on Saturday or say home form is good a draw and 2 wins in the league 3 defeats away from the Memorial Stadium they lost on chewed it Plymouth and the Football League trophy this is what Graeme Cochrane said about that one after the match was a home now God knows this and it might be penalties and might be. A young team that we put out tonight but I still want to when I still want to win and failing and that mentality to the football club that one is. Going to sound like a broken record but that s another one another want to take. Not a hard one to swallow not a bitter pill we we ve seen chances to put into bad. Luck it was a very very spirited and pleasing display yet again against a really good team they were really good to a stronger experience which is the source of their squad but I was pleased I was I was relatively placed with their performance and I am with. I you. Who came in a quick themselves actually knocked anything serious they were nickels you know what it was just cramped and I just felt this quite tighten up so I don t need to be looked at I ll need to be investigated as to war or what s happened so it s something that we really put a head in the pillow tonight we wake up in the morning we ll have a look at. Our help and we re not too bad hope we ve come out of a relatively injury free. We got a clean bill of health fingers crossed for Saturday Gronkowski that was off to choose they in is on the line big Rovers family thing you know the season so far that. I m well yeah really going to be company Yeah I think for me yeah but I think the see the safe. Option dying I think is best way to describe it for my wife. I mean last season the concern was the home form what is so far out of any alley these impressions not conclusions but home but away from home I d say it s a struggle Well why d you kind of what s the rush gnowledge eating I think I think things go brighter in the last couple of weeks when I took the kids up to Coventry away. As who always and I was a charge if I didn t meet her effect on them. Or myself. But since then things got a bright turn. Back to play while I just. Said we haven t got that much struck that Josh has been extended a real good side of Barack probably keep it side the baby which is a real surprise. And that you know you got the positives of Alfie Kilgore signing a contract as well. As you know we need to we need to turn around the whole last season we had a great result heads against Oxford. We got back the team on Saturday that turns a velocity I think 1st game of the season. Be nice to see it improve the fold and get on the 3 points with a little sustained effort so we can yeah I mean I shoulda trun me a game on the Oxford game with your back to back home much and I tell them times I ve seen a performance an improvement in performance so much is one to the other. That kind of Oxford performance is going to be the benchmark isn t it really is the going to do everything we know that we know the score capable for Tejpal of it we ve got that we ve got talented players I think grains are created Well I just I think we ve got the budget to recruit as much as we want so I m sure if you know you don t sit on high for the supply line show that if we work with we have the budget to get more rate we cannot stress the strength to depth that we would like but we know that the squad is capable of playing better than it did a commentary we know this guy capable of playing better than it did a lot to. Take the biggest balls if I may say for the season this is TELL ME Nichols is a science Corp I m not sure any other club in the country would have given it the patients that we ve given him you know off. Times as well as a club Cyrus amazing by being repaid in the face and being repaid less happy keep up but we know the scope capable of doing good things. We just need. A place to turn around the cold last year play to our strengths Try to our capabilities and you know we we can have the results of the ball to the credit for yeah I mean you re right about Nicole a lot of other clubs may want to jettison them but I think the fact you can see is a good football account you technically is good in her bright brain but you ve got a school goals even a front man you ve got a school goals Yeah absolutely and I think the thing that kept this kept so many calls go it is were right you know you get you hear people in Sarasota get frustrated with him and I ve been frustrated with him but you can see he s got the call to say what you know way where the staff are painted and you look at the reception he got. The little time we ve got to Stefan pay Tahmeena has not been fined that is the back of the net until the work rate but at the athletes but there are people can see the talent is gone and the why did they start buying because he put the effort that no one can complain about not a lot of clubs probably a chest in the middle of the effort because you know it is a strike you have been scoring goals but we probably if anything does to our benefit we can t afford to just get rid of players because now we have. Thankfully the faces did we paid and hopefully will continue to repay with going to continue to school grow you mentioned already Dr Paul Alfie Kilgore s and I looked them up on absolutely fantastic yeah he s replaced lucky in a way that I think anyone thought he could look he was a great player and he s doing pretty things Charlie Weis a fellow locks on social media he looks like he s up to a really good speller child and I m saying well that we ve got a replacement in Alfie That was a. Is as good as not I would say yeah Tom Davis is going to be funny looks it looks yes as well I stand that I have satisfied Tom Davis that Coventry were when I left what it could take. Coverage you gave me was the only will this place Tom Davis of the part was absolutely fantastic any is a critically. Standing as well you mentioned I cringe and I wrote it down and he said it all bogey team do you believe in both the teams can you do you really factor in what happened last year in the year before last and what will happen this weekend I m sure the players. As a fan I just you know I just think things like not going to. Say Viking members. What was right said is a loving a lot. I think they could i was in the bank that comes to my place when I m just never seem to we never seem to get results and certain that I say running. Is not return it s just one of those teams that they take their strengths you know I m amazed of what they ve done with the budget they ve got or so much respect for that for that chávez you re actually out there but they are tough to beat they term is a velocity isn t strong enough once to go. You know they re there to fight to be a place their strengths Well let s hit on the break and we just need to you know it s great I m always says 90 percent of. What we need today when we ve got the talent and it s got to be the best just say we can get rid of the baby. I know and I want to pitch your I mean the forcing the Mona tally day 6 games played but I mean do you expect Rovers to be a problem Obama not league table. Being realistic I don t think we ll be doing anything to set the world alight this season I think the ball is started spending money again. I think we ll be lucky to get anything that isn t Top 10 To be honest with you. But I tell you what just I think twice about their attention take away from the squad slightly just by what well said before the Blackpool David was way of. This consortium You know this is huge I say the latest artist to see this before whether stadiums on the horizon but you know. It does seem what with your letter that is taken as well the best approach there is something in it and I ve worked out a way to know why that is it credible and the folks who always take it apart see I m a pretty happy that we re not going to time the season on what I see so far as any sets but I don t think we re going to set a world like either because I think we re treading water under those who ve got something in the pipeline to take the club forward and so fullest potential I think we have to tread water and so we could get some news off the presses what we deserve for all these years Yeah sure thing and you re the chap our time in question or just he told me I. Am big Rovers fan a talking about his team Australia declared 49748 that I ve been a bowler England in the last half hour or so Mitchell Starc 54 not out Nathan Lyon made 26 not out of the main man shocked Steve Smith true 111 he made today let s get the news.

Which is just growing from strength to strength we ve just built a whole new education suite that the men because of the number of students we ve got we have 31 sign up this year. Alone so it s a great project and there has to be to level 3 in support. In the West and I as I said big suite then there are 2 classrooms we ve got open evening coming up on the 19th September so funny ones all finishing G.C.S.E.

Pre-season friendly on Sunday put the Sports Center and the girls played Gloucester ladies we had Yeah we had a big wind up there and over 120 people so it was fun while the show shows that the women s game is growing Oh it is it is for sure I mean the Super League starts this weekend the record united against Man City is going to be a huge crowd of the reality I think a lot of our goals are all working forward to watch in that yeah it s great I think the women s World Cup has really kicked it on and we ve got massive interest we you know when we set the project up with over 100 women took part in the project for some reason we ve still got the 1st team the development team but we ve not said no to anyone so we run in sessions for all of the players. And given everyone the opportunity to play football where will they be affiliated or are they affiliated to really get Yeah so the 1st team are in Gloucestershire Division one and then the development team in Gloucestershire Division 2 so the season actually kicks off this Sunday for them for real but as I said on the back of Saturday s story Sunday s game where we want to 111 things are looking good for this season and with that amount of people over 120 for a preseason game show you get a game is you know and the mental health delivery that you re involved with I mean I know it s really important and I was I still remember vividly coming that evening at the man season before last in the room was I thought it might be a couple of dozen that it was absolutely heaving to call is that still something you re drawing Yeah absolutely we re trying to put on a large scale event everywhere obviously last year you were at the event at the Memorial Stadium this year we re doing another one with a W.P. And the staff that we were with from the N.H.S. This time rather than being in a way aniseed them are actually going to concentrate on coaches and players from the grassroots level we re going to invite them along to the Memorial Stadium and find out a little bit about how coaches parents players can sort of find. And hear this. Symptoms that they might see in some of the younger players boys and girls that might be indicating that there could be some mental health issues so it s important for us to keep that project going delighted action in a couple of weeks that Stuart Sinclair is up at Walsall here but he s an ambassador for the program and he s come in one to work with our group again so I do take my off to it you know he s coming all the way down from Walsall to support the project but yeah it s a great project the recovery through sport doesn t surprise though some likes to your I mean you are great in a human being as an absolute fantastic ambassador obviously when he was at the club he was a Antarctic ambassador for everything we did the trust and the fact that he s you know he s left Rovers but he still supported the project I think it goes to show the mark of the man yeah sounds Tell us about sounds yes sands is Sanjay night it is a new project reinvolved with is the stillbirth in the N.H.L. Death society we find out about the charity it s about 40 teams across the country and the idea behind it is that it s an opportunity for fathers that lost a child by the year in childbirth during pregnancy or very early in the birth and I thought it was really important volved I was really really taken with the guy so people remove runs a club we met up and Bristol Rovers have said we have to them as well because they they paid for the donation of a kit so we ve actually sponsored the sand United team in this year and they ve got a game on the 28th of September up at lot really is where they re going be plain sand United Wales now so it s an opportunity for dads to come in May have lost a child and support each other because as we know Geoff and we ve spoken about this before of the men don t want to talk about issues that a painful or you know her so yeah it s a great great project the community trust the sponsor in this season you know and you are linked I mean I show us that our charity day for the Empire fighting chance chair. The football club is also involved with them is not yet what we we re part that the community did with Empire one of the one of the projects we work on together is that on the B. Tec program I was talking to you about earlier it s not just football so you have students come along to us they study with us at the Memorial Stadium and then instead of going off and playing football we ve got students that go down when Parise and do the boxing training and what we re trying to create the education suite is an opportunity to keep people in education through whatever ways we can and if it s an interesting market box and that s what we re trying to help them with yeah no it s all fascinating and these are all these are things I want to cover on how many gas over the next year actually just come along to some of the sessions if we can do that and the like so the food banks have gone at something really important that a little immunity issue official charity partner last year that we were working with food banks we re still supporting them in any way we can we were delighted that the few weeks ago we managed to give him a donation of a 1000 pounds which came from the Charity Shield. Give out some charity money so we shared that with them last year so so it s another project you know really really important Bristol during our fun days up at last really they supplied us with food so we were going to feed some of the children that came along to those events and your team I mean your chief exactly I mean how many people you go and you re in your team. 10 full time is not really this many I know it has grown it s really growing sort of rapidly over the last couple of years that was recognized a few weeks ago by the Gloucestershire Football Association we were delighted that we the charity won the Jeff a grassroots project of the year for all of the work that we ve done be it within health education social inclusion so yeah we got a great team as I said Nathan is a Stu s a great example he came through the program we did a B. Tec with us He then stayed on for another 3 years did a degree in some coaching courses and now he s head of women s football community trust so. Shows that the projects work he s heading up the women s team he s doing a fantastic job as do all the team there and I know you know a lot of them are brilliant and how you funded I mean yeah I mean what I mean 10 people full time is a big Yeah how does it work financially the way it works normally or in the main is that we are funded through the Premier League and through the E F L the English Football League they fund various projects such as our kids project our women s projects but we are a charity. And we face the constraints all of the charities there is that we have to try and raise money in any way that we can I can put in forbids with organizations like Comic Relief and such like. We ve we ve recently launched on our website a fund raising page so that people can come along and help support us Ken Marsh s one of the directors is going to be doing the bath half marathon and he weighs in some fund Yeah which is quite fantastic at 70 plus years of age going somewhere so yeah we constantly on the search for you know trying to raise funds in the many many ways that we can because the more finance that comes into us the more work we can do in the community yeah where you keep growing is the ambition to get Yeah yeah we want to keep growing that starts the idea as I said the education program we ve got to expand that now we ve got to move into other parts of the stadium and a big thing that we re working on now is plans for a new facility in LA please and you indoor facility that will enable us to be why not reach for that because at the moment we re unable to do any indoor sports or any will sports and that s a new area for us is we ve recently signed up with an organization called goals beyond grass and we re running a power chair footy OK It s amazing how many places you can go and source money and get benefit from you must be a bit of an expert in a particular field Well yeah I think I think you have to ask you have to go you know we re cup in hand as such Jeff we re very well supported Bristol Rovers fan.
