This is my idea is going to be thousands of people on Plymouth and I love you in paper to you know be poetic and be very description about fabrics and there are lots of other things going on as well so you know it's a great event trouble is I'm colorblind right yeah and John said well don't worry about this radio what I want you see talk all over the fireworks we had to do the using the as his a red one I think it was to music of our member Manny years ago I've been to an 18 overture in America once with fireworks and I loved. Yes ocular I love displays put to music and then the excitement if you're hosting that kind of thing is that you've got to talk to exactly the clock and then you've got to count down and you've got it all I love the anticipation that build up to there being quite a few firework night Bonfire Night Guy Fawkes night over the last few nights some of them were Friday nights displays Yeah right brilliantly organized displays but that's as far as it goes for me I had to do what you tell a south Molson last year introduce the fire box to music when they launched the late night shopping and we all went over to the big car park and sort of the trailer there we were sewn system and the fireworks you know got the signal Yeah oh I love it I love it if I like the ones that want to music as well because that the noises that fireworks make so much.

So I think. It's good. Now to have Devon then pays about the last days at work today having announced that they won't be standing for re-election conservatives Peter Jones he's represented North have been since 2015 and fellow conservatives are Hugo smart he's been the m.p. For 18 years ago says he's mixed emotions about making such a huge change I've enjoyed it he usually it's been a large chunk of my life obviously I've had a great honor of representing pretty much the same people and used in the rules the boundaries changed back in 2010. But it's been an extraordinary journey and hopefully not too bad a truck full of people what sort of thing happens on your last day where you don't get a gold watch and a team up suit on fortunately. The Just option which is to speak in the in the chamber and I'm not a good at that rhythm and I don't just sit by ATSIC up on my deathbed which I just I just I don't like the sort of great goodbyes I never have done so I very much doubt I'll be making a speech to the chamber but I might watch some of my colleagues so we have to ask the question why are you standing down. Well our Sunday night is quite simple really the under the 5 year fixed on Parliament type columns and your 5 year segments as the night at The View at the last election in 2017 that would carry me through to 2022 whatever it is and now we've got another election in 2019 that's going to take me through to the h. All you know $6566.00 I'm 60 next month and I took the view that I didn't want to be on 60 ready because I want to give my self an opportunity. In the remaining time allocated to me by him above to do other things ready I didn't want to be here as well as I said 65 and 7075 and frankly I've had a good run and it's time to time to move on and I was there were all these other things if you got anything lined up were going to be taking easy well what happens next well I'm not retiring that you made that quite you know I keep people that says to people keep on saying we'll never be as busy as you are not now you retard and I'm not now I shall continue my political interests will continue on as Deputy Chairman of the Commonwealth enterprise an Investment Council which is a body which promotes trade within the $57.00 countries of the Commonwealth and indeed creasing to can come all countries and home Commonwealth countries and that will take up a good bit of my time and I will also be travelling a lot for that and the rest is a mixture of different business interests but I will certainly keep mine my hand and I just won't be an empty well politics in recent history it's been quite extraordinary just watching it from the outside looking in we struggle to keep up but the last 3 years have been well phenomenal like nothing we've ever seen before how does that Miss fair in parliament now compared with what it was like when he 1st started I don't know what it is I think the quality of debates and in some case members of parliament has not increased so I say charitably. There are too many people coming in here who haven't really done much outside coming in just read their speech. She's meant to be a debating chamber and to many people I think increasingly in national politics you confuse being a campaign. With being a legislator is an m.p. You're here to hold the executive to account and to legislate well I said you've seen a lot of changes in your time and no doubt more changes to come in the future as well but what would you say your legacy would be is a nice definition pe would you like to be remembered for the My What I'd like to be remembered I mean I've had an interesting ministerial career break at Northern and the Foreign Office but I think I would like to be remembered lately whole for approaching every constituent and their problems in exactly the same way I have not introduced a party politics into my role as a constituency member of Parliament I have of course. Terms of elections but I I think even my critics would say that I have been even handed and try to represent. My constituents as best to the best of my ability and I suppose the thing I regret Macy's the way that the golden developers have been developing crown group I tried to set up a design panel in the early days to build something which we could all be proud and unfortunate that was that was just handed Well advice would you give to somebody Korea in politics now well I think to be you know open eyed about it and it is a huge change and the other thing is you know the job is in London it is in Parliament I was remember being. Our office being approached by constituents who wants me to come see that cranes on the Monday but it's not ready to run at the m.p.c. Mine my sector said on she was afraid that if I was in London on Monday so she could have a very well but Tuesday will have to do with my sectors created this was in London on Tuesday ship with a Wednesday but not after 1230 so I'm going to address it myself he said well let me say this is a cost between London on Wednesday so what was he doing then what he's. Cullen's and she said well I thought it was meant to be all local at. The state range so you know the joke is in the constituency the job of being an m.p. Is to represent your constituents in Parliament not to represent parliament in your constituency so it's a combined job of looking off your constituents locally that means having regular surgeries dealing with them on a want one basis and attending events functions supporting local charities and institutions but nationally it's about working with colleagues to ensure that all the just. Properly scrutinised and making decisions on the big issues of the day that's what an m.p. Is about. As an m.p. Today and there is giving up as an m.p.

Monday will mark 101 years since the end of the 1st World War and to mark the occasion a talent East Devon has taken it upon themselves to commemorate those who lost their lives fighting for our country in a striking way some people in xmas spent the last year knitting and crocheting poppies to cover a church in the sunshine our reporter Lucy will show in went to the unveiling was a welcome to the menu. For the 4th to hear about particularly hard to fight stations the bigger the inspiration the catalyst for this wonderful tribute to our heroes thank you very much and. This is the moments at Smith's new temporary memorial was unveiled by the $200.00 people have lots relentlessly to knit crochet and then stitched together thousands of tiny red and purple poppies ready to be draped over Tower Street Methodist Church those behind the idea have walked almost every day for the last few months to pull it together after all didn't is one of them is a way of commemorating in your songs a way of getting a community to get out and is where everybody has been absolutely amazing it has been really hard to be perfectly honest basically your fingers got her sewing them together but it doesn't matter now as hard as our men that are as I say I'm so proud of the community yeah it's been amazing it's all started around a year ago when the woman who spearheaded the campaign Stacy Waterhouse put out a play on social media for volunteers to help bring her idea to life that led to an influx of handmade copies Marian Fishlock saw the play and offered her help every puppy that was so unknown if got a look at that as a person. And I was told about 8080000 copies that all her knitted and. You know I have copies a usually worn throughout parts of October and November as a symbol of respect for those who fought during World War One because they flowered in fields where many soldiers lost their lives after the events and now this all church is nearly covered in them. Is the town's deputy mayor. That. Gives me goosebumps I think it's amazing thing I've done this in the tremendous amount of work and effort over a sustained period. As display the peoples of gratitude to the military especially the Royal Marines are associated with. The hard work and determination of those who hand crafted the poppies for this installation is just a nod to the hard work and determination of those who protected our livelihoods all those years ago our reporter Lucy Wilson There it is 22 minutes past 7 how much of the Queen could be in a bit of trouble Laura Oh she could be ordered to rip up renovation was not her personally should get people to do it this at Windsor Castle after a planning error the role how so does been forced to apply for retrospective permission after the project on the 14th century 100 steps began without planning permission. If the application is refused the rollbar of Windsor and Maidenhead can issue an enforcement notice which could require the Queen to reverse any changes made at the castle where the council. Put that into a fax while I think if it's one role for one it should be one rule for all not go in there you know not go in and just read for saying you know that the actuality you know me. You never know he's listening to the show Laura What exactly is true but again if it's one role for one it should be one role for one also from from some of the papers today not as much as I thought it would be I thought it would dominate news but selling oil elected. Speaker new old is on the front page story here today I felt that is a headline that should have some some white behind us a story close up also to talk about something that some people may fall find a little bit uncomfortable so we'll talk about it quickly but the end of smear tests on the front pages here what she needs help is clear a new procedures letting women send off swabs to check for 7 cancer avoiding the ordeal of going to the doctors and having to go through what normally happens it's just going to be a simple test to do at home instead I wonder if women would feel more comfortable doing in that way but. You have the reach that but also thinking. How long will it take to get there were like the right results but that's true I guess there's a you know there's there's definitely some information that comes with doing it at home on your own words you know all the angst it would say it Take Well the worry you take away you having to find time in your day to do it so it's a brilliant idea we'll see where that goes to it's coming it's 25 past 7 now the eagerly awaited new series of the royal drama the crown we're talking about the Queen again yes returning later this month a Livia Coleman taking over from Clare for years her majesty the queen picks up the story not in 64 and ends 13 years later but the SUV or Jubilee B.B.C.'s John McGuire was given exclusive access behind the scenes. As the world's most famous family returned to Libya Coleman Oscar winner for one role as a monarch takes on another one so much. I mean look at the hatch story. On set in between takes I'm granted a royal audience person made a vow in their twenty's to make sure she doesn't just now I think that is just extraordinary stuff like yeah I have to up and coming almost obsessed with her if it was that made on the show as much an investigation of this institution as it is the people so you know it's about those figures within. This organization and the sort of pressures that we had loneliness. You know that was the what if what happens to a family within those strictures impression that's it's all that kind of stuff that makes me to the ground in these you want to get used to what's that wheel being part of the symbol. For a guy and then bang. I remember seeing my father's face on a shilling for the 1st time and thinking how odd it looked at the same time I would probably one day have to look at. But one never knows what destiny has in store one . Did you ever imagine you'd be prime minister is now a recurring theme in the crown was the Queen's relationship with her prime minister's Jaish and what counts is Harold Wilson No one could possibly have foreseen his death I'm not going to do the vice now you'll have to wait a little bit very. Skilled I allow. He's has a particular voice but because my job is to sort of is to show him in all his. His eccentricities perhaps in his voice and it's a much it's much and personated for strikeouts to fill that up with what's going on and what the real real emotions that are going on and the real events of the day a traumatic and fascinating I mean absolutely fascinating vents that he went through you know from the moon landings to an attempted. And there's a kind of he was in the devaluation of the pound all those sorts of events which are all fascinating and he has an individual had problems later in his life which are also explored in the in the series. Yet knows he sees a great chance to play while filming here in North Wales Ben Daniels as Lord Snowdon and Helena Bonham Carter playing Princess Margaret both stayed in a hotel that was once Snowden's family home but his extraordinary being in his childhood room. With all his photographs and I was in the process Margaret's with my sister of course my sweet I have a better picture of myself which I was that she was looking at us like I do I Nope no I don't actually remember. I thought it's like but yeah Ok like they look in the mirror and go no no no I just thought well hopefully which photos it there's a one probably you took it. There's also a photo. By the bar they got really nice present involved and they got the photo you took of me in the bar for the terror that your. They had a meeting to hammer thing. Better. And they were incredibly clever it was so multi-faceted. So let's hope that it isn't justice in that sense while that's Helena Bonham Carter who plays Princess Margaret obvious so nervous if I was an actor or and I had to play a royal and thinking only one royalty thing. This isn't the years for it Prince Charles might be worried that you know if he was if he was washing and so the Burbage league did if he was washing Yeah you know it would go down here I mean thankfully you're not in that position distance Charles called Her Majesty mama. I just made me want to. Interview Yeah anyway thankfully it's not you it's a Livia Coleman and the likes of her car her starring home and well.

Coming here for the weather have dried out today as well just a few isolated showers possible otherwise there would be some brighter sunny periods however the cloud will be building at times at times it's going to be quite cloudy and the northerly winds becoming generally moderate or fresh will be quite lawyerly for a time at least in some of the south coast headlines the much in terms of a between $8.13 Celsius and tonight. Will be a fair bit of cloud around especially further east but should be largely dried with little in the way of Charlotte to Vittie expected overnight minimum temperature will be falling away to quite chilly levels 3 to 6 the range overnight with just a light north westerly wind developing tomorrow bright star will be some scattered showers but it will become increasingly cloudy from the West a frontal system moving in bringing that rain and drizzle for the afternoon and that rain becoming heavy for a time later tomorrow the winds moderate from the southwest the maximum 7. 210 degrees so it won't be particularly warm tomorrow overnight temperatures into Thursday down to 3 be some showers around all day as well as some light heavy they may merge to give some longer spells of rain and there's a risk of thunder and hail in the heaviest of the showers winds well quite strong from the West developing and the maximum temperature again on the coast side between 6 and 10 degrees at best on Thursday that's the weather Thanks Kevin. With your it tastes as good to. Get money as Cheese Day breakfast with lower and golden coming out nature and then you might think that the $2.00 go together but there are calls for a bass a balance between the 2 southeast problems like flooding the full story on the way we've heard lots lately about the state of our high street some weight loss in the news about mother cat in the last 24 hours it's a big day for Dr Marcus weld so day more on after 8 o'clock and remember remember the 5th of November and that means it's time for one of the biggest nights in the oldest traditions in Devon Richard Green is a nice Devon for us yes the parking suspension signs are out already the town of Autry said Mary is getting ready for the tall barrels tonight a ceremony a fixture an exciting evening that goes back hundreds of years we'll find out more 10 to 8 and we'd love to hear from you today b.b.c. Radio Devon now on my way to weight 10183 text a simple summary starting your message with the identified. Brains of grazing animals beavers and a whole new way of thinking and needed to help the flooding that's become commonplace in Devon This is the challenging message being offered to all farmers by a freelance nature conservationist who's helping reintroduce the paper to the county dairy go says he wants a better balance between nature and farming our environment correspondent aging Campbell has been to me to him it's a wet day I'm on the border standing on a farm where there. Could potentially be some answers to the problems that some of us are facing with erosion with water seeping away the goodness out of the soil Derek firms near here and he has some interesting in any of us who've ideas about what we need to do with our land some people say some of your it is are a bit far out but let's just talk about them for example you've got various animals here just tell me how they can help but Ok Well what we're doing with this this part of our farm which is 150 acres is a mixture of paddocks woodland plantation and tiny tiny bits of old wetland has we've changed the stocking really as opposed to having hundreds of sheep here mourning everything down to a couple of inches in height and having a tight part swore the Sol compacted so that when it rains and days unless the water goes belting down to the stream causes all sorts of issues father dying floods the bridges and Giles what we've got is a small herd of cattle head cattle be built to resemble the cave paintings we have some ponies and most importantly grazing through them or reaching through them we have a small number of wild boar which are changing the shape of the land by rooting and wall owing they're creating barns and Poneman and structure so when it rains the water is captured nice features and doesn't make it into the valley bottom but when it does make it to this valley bottom there are also beavers making many and those dams are very effective silt traps and slow to flow but if we look at farming as it is in lots of the southwest the for example there is maize growing a large area of the countryside now what do you see as being wrong with that. The maze is simply disastrous if there's no cover crawl under the maze and commonly There is no cover crop under the maze and all that happens is your harvesting I mean here we are no beginning to van but it's been harvested 3 weeks ago 2 weeks ago and then you're out there trying to repair the damage in the spring so when the rain hits hits the Marge had everything go sliding down into the water courses the other day 52 days ago I came up past the team other team hours running the color of coffee we are losing topsoil really is horrifying and the most recent estimates suggest maybe we're going to get 30 to to 50 harvests left now you've also been instrumental in bringing the beaver back into the south by stepping in particular tell me how that source so helping because that can also slow down flooding for example County yes if you look to our stream corridors before the beavers were there what you had was one straight line of water made by the Victorians taking the water from our farms in the farms that are into St John's River know what you've got very many and punishments and the water course the water is held back by dams of a variety of different sizes and it takes it 10 times longer to reach the river that was originally the case because the dams are there now and the and under beavers of failing she's running them to feed on over winter there's a lot of grasses a lot so mossies Rivers retreat sponges and filter that final question has to be brief I'm afraid Can you just explain to me whether your type of farming will provide the food that we need in the coming years because some people say that's the problem it's not going to do that. It's the kind of food we want to give a 70 percent of the corn the Greens are growing in this country are growing to feed to Hannah ML's we need to change that we produce meat in this country and by having extensive grazing over more life and then we can still produce in a significant amount of me and and under the credible prospect for moving forward the freelance Nature Conservation of chatting with Adrian Campbell a reporter. It's 22 a I can't believe our next story and you may not either but know it's true and it's happening 100 dogs and their owners are being invited to take part in dog ballet it's in Torquay this week trying to keep a straight face or what I saw on the wavelength festival of lights which will see a cost of dogs run off the little balls on the bait accompanied by local musicians needed to take part the idea was born after the organizer Nigel Barrett's or some dogs playing on the beach at nights he's been talking with our reporter I remember him in ski hat how. Dog is a show where we've asked most people to bring the dogs down on to the base and just walk the dogs as they normally do in the dogs run play and jump and run and see what we have and we like them with the article liked the part of the show and to have some live music some local musicians on offer sing a violinist and all the musicians will play and the dogs don't actually follow but there will be a sort of natural choreography an apple listen to the music and of course the dogs be so particular how fun that and then towards the end of the show after the lights on the dogs all have lights of all those. Lights and balls and then they'll chase chase the bulls in the dogs and be like a sort of talking for I would just play by the fire. And it's very lovely It's very simple. But it's just so fantastic to watch dogs just be so free on the streets and it's a celebration of dogs some patients to face on the patient for. The not for the people have for them where they bring the dogs love of the lamplit of the place through them and I know you did actually say to them this is a bit like herding cats. Yes I dispute that so they will be so it will be very unpredictable but one thing we can control is we might get some of the dog owners to maybe do some basic choreography but in terms of trying to get the dogs to. Now becoming known then have you ever done anything not just for what we have just done but we did a triage in June and could bring to science and so by a smaller amount of dogs which is brilliant and. I thought that was quite funny because there was a man on the beach on his phone and I thought Luis on his phone and I realize a dog or cat accidentally walked into the performance and he was face timing his wife who was in bed going up come I think I'm in the middle of a performance because you come up with the idea of it for this we were working actually we were doing a project in West Superman with 480 children never work with children on the move and we were just walking back along the beach in West Superman and we just saw some dogs playing at night with some like to pull some and all is only just it was fascinating the movement was so belated and we just wanted to. Be good set to music Yeah and with 100 dogs and some live musicians in for facing a record ballet and then the festival said we're going to get ideas in Europe where we got the ballet thinking they'd go but they would yes bring it on so here we are now I've seen they don't say they were all really well behaved you got to get some buttons and a good laugh yeah there's always going to be a naughty dog but I mean there's room for every one of the show I think people have heard about this now and they want to get in touch and bring their dog what should they do telephone the night please do come but on the night before you've contacted us the best thing to do is go on the ivy websites and all the contact details but don't buy late would be unmade because what you want to do to make you special made called is for your dog to want to get the right size color or small medium or large So do come to. Let us know as we can get the right number of followers on the right size for you to have you talk so you expect that. We've estimated for a 100 but we just don't know because as I say people might just turn up on the night so we'll just see it appear to be talking party. Committees and. If I had a dog I'd make conditions would say yeah I want my dog to take the lead. And I know is that was a bit of a Deaver in the background at Mena and the Romans trying to get the attention dog. Is one already trying to get center stage. Cat because I'm more of a cat person if you're a cat and you want to do ballet then let's team up let's do a cat. Is it more difficult because you've got to cuts here cats can still do things to order tell you they don't like dogs now they say the dog give me a pole shake out and say I'll talk quietly stick his tongue out go and give years poll was not all that well give us a point be very happy about it yeah but a cut. And it went if it wants to do it would you like to because cats always know exactly when they know how do they know you by the clock Yeah exactly when meal time is they did only have one the close of combat but that does ballet until k. Sounds brilliant does doesn't it if you had a pet would you give. It depends. Because also I think you could have the personality and yeah to go with it and I think that once one dog I don't know I'm not a dog. If one sees another dog doing it and enjoying the dog or want to have a go do you think so I think I don't know how it works possibly he looks like he's having fun all right over over there I'm off to go on another potential dog psychology but. There is probably leave it there.

England's cricketers lost by 14 runs to New Zealand in the 3rd t 20 International the series in Nelson the hosts take a 21 lead chasing a 181 so winning them 139 for true with 31 bowls remaining but they suffered a bunch income cups you know in Morgan I think that's when it's certainly slipped away from us I think we were in control for the majority of chase probably until about the 11th or 12th over probably after the run out then you know the younger guys coming in probably didn't adapt as we would have hoped but that's an experience that they need to go through and hopefully grow as the series go on the more they're exposed to it and it's one of the biggest race days of the year taking place that acts as a race course today it is the highlight of the season to many the Holden Gold Cup day gets underway later well let's chat to x. To race course general manager Jack Parkinson Jack is everything ready for the Big Day Yes Good morning Laura good morning Gordon you were you know really really good place the weather's been calling to us so we've got the enough rain the lead up and it's going to be adroit day for all those coming up to watch so purrfect you say the weather's been kind you've had enough rain I wondered if you'd had too much because you know with that made preparation quite tricky Yes Has he has made it take you for a ground think you know we probably lost in a short space of time but we really need to there again we have a pretty dry summer over Also the ground is perfect for for these horses to make sure they all come home safe and sound really for those of us if you don't know much about this I mean the title holder and Gold Cup day tells me it's important but why is today so important to the race course. It's basically a newly test for the the up and coming horses coming through to go on to your chart and go cups and all your major festivals really throughout the year so this is the 1st particular race on their way to though so a big tests and x. Series are always renowned for that and bringing through those young horses in the great horses that we see coming through in the future so really big day for the horseracing industry it's the richest race day in Devon as well democracies many throughout today is the most over any 7 track so it's a really important day in the racing calendar and a big day for a score is as well Jack because they get Church chance to see some of the leading names in the sport. Yes No absolutely I mean the one for the Romantics today in the Gold Cup is gold so he's going to go in for it for a 3rd saw and he won in 2049 last year and it's a record equalling So those who want to come down and maybe see some history in the making then that's a really nice story and fingers crossed for him I don't think it's great for the weather as well so yeah absolutely time passed when the 1st race 7 races and often gets open 11 don't they this morning. Yes same time I was going to say Well I'm very much Jack Parkinson rescue spot of a new channel So yeah the general manager the Holden Gold Cup day today this Saturday on Richie Green's retro show on talking to Simple Minds Jim undoubtedly one of the biggest bands of the eighty's but was their success a sure thing the idea that you could come from the neck up wasn't becoming more you had as much chance of being a national because it was that ridiculous everyone could name a simple minds track but how many of a written someone come to them for those were written over $250.00 songs together and as is still the same drive to perform at the highest level I was 0 to 6 o'clock a small it was frosty and it was dark because you know I don't want people to come and see is something you don't have the energy and that's Jim Courier of simple minds in conversation with me Richard Greene this Saturday from 12 on the retro show on b.b.c. Radio Devon man of many parts is our Richard Green retro rich. November the 5th Laura anything planned so I got a sparkler and I'm like yeah I want to and I like it when. Devon tradition happens yes very tall barrels townsfolk running around the streets with barrels of burning tar on their shoulders yeah Mrs ass has done this when she was young growing I mean her safety yeah let's go live to our serie were things are already being prepared in our mind retro Richard Greene is there Richard yes I am there are preparations going on already so. The shops have opened early the teeth in coffee shops in the parking suspension signs are out ready for the spectacular event which goes on every year on the 5th of November here in Autry's and Mary there's a pop up shop which is opened as well which features the history of the events house t. Shirts and mugs and various bits and pieces as well for the Autry Carnival and alongside me the man who knows all about what's going on this evening the top hours president and the white Good morning to you Andy what a day. At the right point yes indeed we are all working very well at the moment heading in the right direction. Obviously you know it's a historical day for us because the tradition that we carry on. These to perpetuate so consequently today we've all been working hard they'll be working hard to get ready for our start at 4 o'clock this afternoon which is the start of the boys barrels as we call it but it's boys and girls and then they will move on they'll be the bomb fire at. The bomb fire at 630 right and then at 7 o'clock the men's. 7 o'clock the men's barrel start and they go on through the day . Until. Midnight. Right right Ok so goes on to me I will come back we'll talk about car parking in bits and pieces like that just very briefly history of history of the event that goes back hundreds of years now of various theories as to why it started. It is and I think basically we've with the research that we've done. It is to do with Guy Fawkes and blowing up parliament except for and but originally I think it was you know burning effigies of the pope and Guy Fawkes and that kind of thing and lots of times throughout the country used to burn barrels as a way of. Celebrating that time in the year so it's not just us all over the stove and all over the country in fact we've researched and found that barrels lit but they were rolled in the streets I think we've probably. The only one that actually picks them up and carries them through the streets on the night Ok We're going to talk to a family right now who are heavily involved in the tar barrels and I'm going to be heavily involved a little later on tonight Mike in Hayden Mike is the owner of the volunteer in just down the road Mike 1st of all other barrels heavy you've shown us some of the barrels that are in your cellar ready are they are they heavy are they what happens they are heavy. They're just that. Gets presented to us a little bit by the sub We then pick up what we carry it's just what it is it's what we get all the living and why do you do it because I cared Ok so it's a tradition it is a complete you know the tradition. Of these his subjects to me it must both sides I But also we all role and I'm a wife as well however we don't do it and we don't keep it going for that but we keep it going for our next generation the generation after that it's not about what we're doing about what's coming in the future Ok Hayden is your son did that sort of twist your arm into doing this or was it something you did quite happily and there's a kind of. Looking for. Young kids and then when the opportunity comes you can just jump in with both hands in she says something you kind of. Born to do it yes and that's kind of what my family's why it's a journey it's nice to follow a tradition of like mom. And especially my great great granddad and things like that Ok Well listen I wouldn't do it I don't I don't think I've got that the strength of the aptitude who knows I don't know but explain for people that I What does it feel like when you're carrying one of the flaming tar barrels and there's not really any feelings you can describe it just kind of one of those unique opportunities and feelings that car just happen and. Yes that's always a hard question because you just can't describe it well ask you that Mike what do you what do you reckon do you feel the heat does the hair on the back he head gets changed what happens to your fingers get burned I don't know the hair on the back he had his own where he's standing up this morning getting ready for the day however actually when you're in that moment it is just you out there you've got the crowd around g. You've got everything going on would it's just such an incredible feeling that you just get caught up in the bow but you hear the crowd I mean they must cheer and weep and wild or you just stay focused you do hear the cries. Talk raids but most of the time of year just it's you you have mates all of us is role is together we're all there together and that's what you called Straight is that family is it just you or your immediate family is the family of rollers and you're all that you just live in the Bobet Is that what you get a year Ok Andy Well best of luck for tonight Mike and he just tell us a little bit then about the parking because the parking restrictions signs are already up in the in the town they come into force at midday I think they do a little later on but important message tonight that parking is going to be severely severely restricted it is indeed yes unfortunately our main car park. Is waterlogged So we're having to put a contingency plan in which will make the main car park the scene at the ata nurseries with a secondary one on one of the local industrial estates Unfortunately once they're full they will probably have road closures on the outskirts of our tree to stop any more vehicles coming in we've got clear ways in place from mid day to stop you know traffic from parking on the roads basically so we can keep them open for emergency vehicles and they will be quite well policed as well and people unfortunately will end up with tickets if they think they're going to park and you have a than in a proper car park that gets under way at Fort run street to midnight something like 15000 people are going to be in the town upwards of 15000 people and the main event that the main I guess the main event the highlight the gentleman star barrels and the clock yes and then they'll start at 7 and then carry on they'll be in various places throughout the town you know and I mean it's gets very very crowded so on the safety point of view. If you've got limited mobility it's not an ideal night for children. There are places you know that they can view it from read. Simply Safely It's just that when you get you know 15000 people in our narrow streets it can be a bit problematic but we've got marshals will be playing everything and doing crowd control as we have done over the many years all right so hopefully you know everything will go well brilliant best of luck for tonight there were all the tar balls tonight in our tree said Mary a spectacular event if you're coming along make sure you get here early if you want a parking space Yeah Richard thank you Richard Green in all seriousness I Mrs As she she did the tar barrels when she was young she did the junior section always remember the bomb far going up in all 3 by the playing field by the cricket club and it was always huge and it was about 2 months in the making every year that bomb fire civil one did I think got to the Tong or Sam in homes has been in touch I love all 3 Tom barrels a great Devon tradition and Sam goes on to talk about fireworks because we are sorry Ronnie staying in or you going out Remember remember the 5th of November Sam goes on to say I think as long as follow it displays are kept to November the 5th then it's all Ok I'm not going off at 2 weeks either side of November the 5th some people by now and saving for New Year's Eve Don't do that. For midnight Sandrine credits and I love bonfire and I appreciate it's not for everyone particularly the animals but if you go to an organized display with a crowd of people it can be a really great night yes so. Much prefer just organized events well have a bit of fun count will be an organized event tonight Xmas are in their life to Xmas Raleigh That's tonight Rick's going to be there Rick Edwards and also if you can't get out to a display We're going to bring that one to you not literally because that wouldn't be allowed but might tank on the radio from 7 o'clock this evening that's what takes debates from from the display we'd love to hear from you today you can text like Sandra did or sounded You can text a one triple 3 star a message with the word Devon or give us a call 8100.
