History was in a terminal decline on average around $700.00 pubs close each year however however official figures suggest that the sector could be turning a corner according to the Office for National Statistics there was a net gain of $320.00 pubs in the year up to March Now that's significant because it was the 1st increase in 10 years so many pubs to shut their doors over that decade but it looks the slow the tide is turning so what you have to do to make sure that your Pub stays thriving stays viable and is a lovely resource for your local community one place which is doing just that is the White Horse in birth and I was there a couple of weeks ago to drop off some be a mate drip matts this of course our campaign to get men talking the folks at the White Horse was so keen to get on board and I'd never been there before and I thoroughly enjoyed winding my way through what looked like countryside him burst all over it was and to find this whole story I met up with Jenny he told me what they're up to John you have been inside and dropped off the be a mate treatments because that's kind of what's brought me here initially but it's been really ventured getting here from best and winding through the radio part of the village and then I have to say I drove down the hill into the carpark and through and I kind of took my breath away because how far are you from the city center couple miles yeah a couple of miles and we are just a little bit of the beaten track in the village but we're in kind of what is old Basto and hope of faces in towards me park so we've got all that beautiful view and and lots of passing trade lots of cyclists dog walkers canoeist Yes and we're in a really lovely spot particularly in the summer and we're very busy in the summer because the garden gets nice and full of our children's play area too which helps you know God And yeah you know I love stumbling across places that I've never seen before because I'm also driven over the top of a so many times and. We could be in the middle of the countryside looking across the view this is a few clues in the distance like some of the steam coming out of the chimney in the distance but I suppose it's quite a big responsibility keeping a place like this is a lot to do it's a very competitive How are you managing to to maintain it and keep going the team you have here we've got brilliant team and that a lot of our team have been with us for quite a long time and we employ quality of local. People for staff as well we try and keep really involved in what goes on in the community as well so we run the christ every bank holiday we get involved with we do best buy a car that we do from Mill and so we run that every year lots of community groups use or so they might use our barbecue area and they might come down to me and lots of groups can have our meetings which is really nice so we keep quite really involved in the community trying to keep people interested in changing how pubs have to survive that's what you have to do you have to throw yourself in it yeah and I think it's just listening to what you can and trying to we can try and change things up every now and then we had to be. A reef a year or so ago just to make things a bit different keep people interested rape in the garden bar that's been really nice for in the summer and kind of functions in the summer as well so yeah it's just keeping everybody interested in changing things around so that we're meeting the body amount of one in the local area and so keeping out of the game a bit as well I suppose I was thinking of the next thing you know much about the building and how old it is if you had a little. Yeah we did I mean this was has always been the white horse per banana little a few years back it change and typical the move betrayed them when we took away. The White House because we wanted to make it more of a community permanent place that people would come to a drink which is exactly what's happened which has been brilliant so we've got a real strong customer base are our regulars and we've got people that come you know just passing last year and have just come across the other confront event. And you know noticed what we've got and what we can offer oh. Bring the dog next time because your dog friendly so I thought we are we dog friendly there's always a dog treat baffler we have dogs yeah we've got water bowls and things and dogs are welcome absolutely when you've got a living area if you're more to me part where you can dog and enjoy that as well. As well thank you as well for being part of the b.m.a. Project because that's something that is just it's it's a small thing to have the drip mats but it means a lot to us and you know I think there's a few chaps in the public that I mean you never learn so much just cause or I absolutely and that's what we hope it's about it's just someone saying the right thing at the right time and been able to strike up a conversation with a friend so I hope it will help some people on the way take proper local pub and that's why it survives and thrives but goodness makes hard work isn't it running these places it sounded lovely birds to eat in the background there the outlook all there in your view and it's nice to find so my default is an experience isn't it just I go through Burstall every single day on my home drive home from work but if I just took a little wiggle a little left and right now left in rights and there is this fabulous place with a visa over the water you know shout out to the story because when you look at her still it's got everything you need you know down the street you've got everything. Has got water made Paul it got lovely pubs jewellers carpets perhaps perhaps better still is going to give Glenfield a run for. Another And we're not going to get carried away this morning but it's a great price yeah I don't quite think he was born b.m.i.

Would go back to the polling booth today a total of 50 candidates across all 10 parliamentary constituency is a wanting you invite us to east one last breath in the rotunda Melton any return Radio Leicester. And I sat down the file last night for that we had state last nigh on the course not to share a little bit weigh them. All the thanks of course the aid they tell you are a brings me immense joy that dog does and this is video right there in the rounds on social media and about man's best friend lies about where a dog comes into a room starts playing the piano and starts to say. How do. I most of watched it 15 times over and over again and Ralph was there is their lives were pricked open he was looking at me with his head on the side saying what is going on there I'm not quite sure what song is trying to say maybe the Hound Dog by Elvis I don't know did you know that the pets are a fond of music of the more festive kind perhaps because 20 percent of pets in their owners listen in these villages to a favorite song together Ok so I was trying to get this up because you got line you 1st down song with you Paul you know you've got your song grandparents perhaps we moment that you're growing up again that we made but 9 and 20 percent of people in the East Midlands have got a song with their pets which they know and I think this is brilliant because that is all according to the National Party Blue Cross who've even put together a top 3 Ok You know what we speaking to them after the whole 7 because the election free zone say we've all we want to we want to we want to kind of spread a bit of we want want to being a little bit different Ok so we want to hear this morning your songs for your dogs to jive what of your pain. I think this is the 1st one that came to mind on many reasons the title is incredible the artist is all. Kate Bush and Hounds of Love. Coming. Dana strong the song choice is a cracking song it's a really strong Don't judge my to tell you but I actually sing the song. And I'll take him. And I will dance with him in the kitchen and let the song to last I said old one but he said go ahead so Picture me singing this to me. As much as you. Do you make. My dog. Strong. To give him strength. You know. As much as. Those lyrics I love my dog as much as I love your love that don't. Say he was on the news yes they are yes I was what they say they went every way is on b.b.c. Radio West is Facebook page telling you about the 5 rules of what you can and can't do with the polling station and when you put a look on b.b.c. Radio listeners Facebook page Routh is everywhere going to be a lot more for me going to be. It's going to be. I'm going to put his name in lights we're going out a bit of fun today Ok because we want to know what it's very very very simple question for this morning we want to hear your songs for dogs yeah Fastpass is simple as that is all I ask him from me this morning or all we want from you is a song for a dog a k. So what does it mean they can be as Brewer really daft as possible all how if you got that song that you shared with you guessed it the dog danced to the music well and this is a true story a complete treat now is 995 a case in is kind of like you know entrenched in my mind went out South Africa and my auntie had 3 dogs and one was called Mr Bojangles good name this is a this is God's own history from. Jungles his dog was called and he would sit big strong Aubry kind of stuffy type dog run and whenever you put Frank Sinatra Mr Bojangles on he would sing the whole song was not long crooning it was a thing oh how willing he would go the whole whole lot and he was called Mr Bojangles So have you got a story like that yet you know what songs community your dogs or if you've just got a suggestion Come on let's have a bit of fun this will have a small Give us a call on 101 i Phone on we want to hear from you and you can text as well on one treble 3 starting a message with the word Lester we want to hear your songs for dogs it's 18 minutes past 7 and here is the news which made me really sad and I suspect id your generation my not feel exactly the same emotion as I am this morning I'm David Bellamy who is a naturalist and broadcaster he was so huge when I was growing up in the 1980 s. And he's died he was 86 years old and he was just everywhere Lenny Henry even used to do impressions of him that it was just he was that massive superstar of the tele areas on the b.b. . Backyard Safari series in 1981 thing about the reason why washing dries 1st on a sunny day to be back light it has to change from a liquid to would get a bite and that requires energy like heat of evacuation now the energy comes from the sand and the normally gentle believes well it helps to move the water by the wife and keep the whole process working flat out and they show you everything you know we should draw on when you if she must have been an academic to know all the stuff but yet she failed his exams at school he started in a sweet factory What does a plumber but then he got a job in a lab and that fostered a huge love of science and he specialized in marine biology at Durham University now it was when he was interviewed on telly about the Tory Canyon oil spill in 1967 that spotted and he said that kick started his broadcasting career I was one of the only scientists were normally pollution pollution in the city when Tommy Canyon went down so course I had to find some poor farm to be it can drive exhaust creaming from your ivory tower into the box my visit and I was interviewed by junk right even early diy on a sewer pipe in red car and I think that made me well it's a love of the natural world and I'm a terrific broadcaster he was so inspirational his passion for plants and trees but it was that voice that distinctive style that got him parody guy Lenny Henry His him during the Bellamy run on his comedy sketch show 3 of a car I. Should. Be. A member that was absolutely hilarious now it did face criticism in later life over the issue of global warming he did. Smith's state he described as poppycock and that led to a lot of his t.v. Work drying up but he always supported the environment he founded a Conservation Foundation that was with him through his life and they described him as a friend a teacher and a larger than life character who inspired people with his knowledge and enthusiasm are always really fortunate enough to me and you know the flower show I was she very lucky to go down with Dave Andrews when I was kind of just I mean this would be going back probably 10 years or so ago now a lucky man and he was that and our remember being quite bowled over because our among the Wanted to me was perhaps a generation are missed them if that makes sense yes yes bomb going to Brooks Bay and they had this horticulturist of the Year competition occur and I'm nice to him Brooks because hate a case was representing Brooks but didn't different do so well in the 2nd round the something a woman was that was a David Bellamy book and it was signed by David Bellamy and so on that that bull and I knew all of them and when I saw him and he was it was wonderful it was it was like a Brian blessid time yeah he was larger than life and he was absolutely great and I was really sad to hear that last night because I just thought my memory of him is he's been really really nice bloke he had loads of time he stood he talked and from a this was all about and you know it didn't ruin any illusions for me so that's really really sad news yeah treasure that book a day it's 20 minutes past 7 and let's see what's happening on the roads of care and thank you Will traffic moving well across the city and counties will shook a lady in fairness and still remains closed due to you floating in clear Laos house next time unless the road temperature of our lives start here today on eastward roads and hams and wrote on the way to ease and wala m. 69 and m 6 all moving while for now you got the very latest I'll have more for you in 20 minutes. And. Maybe a bit on ice on the car this morning minus 3 when I go into my car it is cold out there this morning Alex is going to warm up. It is going to warm up a little bit it's a bright but chilly start expected this morning Cloudland steadily building as rain moves into the area from the west now some of that wet weather could even be a little bit wintry over the high ground accompanied by freshening south westerly winds you can expect highs of around 7 degrees Celsius It's nice to be often cloudy with a few showers through much of the night there will be some clear and dry as spells lows of 4 degrees Celsius tomorrow partly cloudy but quite windy day tomorrow some sunny spells but also a few blustery showers with highs of 7 degrees Celsius Saturday we'll have dry conditions with a good deal of sunshine through the day it'll be very windy with gales at times and on Sunday after only Morning Rain showers have moved away you can expect it to be dry and sunny and dry and sunny weather will continue into Monday. I got a question for you this morning I want have a think about it how many of the gains do you know this isn't a Christmas cracker joke or anything like that but how many begins do you know. 2 or 33 or 4 I bet you know that's more than the same time last year I think it probably is yeah because more and more people are now becoming vague and one of the largest fast food chains Donalds launched a full of eager menu for the 1st time in January to seen an 80 percent increase in customers ordering vegetarian food I was fascinated by a documentary recently with Jermaine Jenas about vegetarianism of Reaganism in footballers as well well dominate. Is from the vague and Society joins us this morning Domenica 1st of all how does the Vegan Society feel about a mainstream restaurant chain finally tipping their hand including vegans Good morning well I think that anything that gives people more choice in giving them food is absolutely a positive thing so obviously McDonald's is probably not a place where you would expect a case of a big and we have a fatal sign of the changing times that such a mainstream band is actually offering a good option. It's obviously not just a vegan think we have a lot of people reducing their meat consumption as well as their consumption of their in eggs so this is a great choice for all of us who care about animals the environment or health as well so how does the word dominate because with you know with your society huge huge societies of. All you you consulted by McDonald's to make sure that they get everything salute the spot on so actually I don't know where but not when they went to the Vegetarian Society with it even though if you can products they got their approval from the Vegetarian Society but we have a scheme as well that approved products of the can so I imagine the better translation went out and checked all the ingredients into the that go into the bag and then they gave them the stamp of approval to make sure that this all began but having said that you know we have a spectrum from restaurants as well for just Wetherspoon's and. As well for the r.v. You can options out there that I decided by us and obviously a lot of places also launching an options without approving them by anyone so we've got obviously crags that we feel more that we are coming out with the Can product like inkjet and in Europe are launching a bigger bagus as well we've got 9 Those are saying a huge offering as well so there's lots of options out there lived a dozen noisome anywhere I've gotta watch this because I know somebody that isn't a vegan but loves the Gregs they can source it roll goes in there and has won and said it's kind of like that that you know they're just having their moment you know and they're helping a little bit but I mean do people fully embrace it or do you think some people are just jumping on the vague and Beram wagon Yeah I think certainly some people just do it sort of part time which there's nothing wrong with I mean he does say but I'm alive it does help the environment and it's good for your health so why not us and we want to share this message with everybody so even if you don't feel like you can go again then why not just a word occasionally a lot of people do it because they just like their taste and I think whatever reason it is fine because you are you know. We are doing a good thing by eating fewer animal products and I think we are seeing a huge increase in the number of people not just becoming began but also making those changes for African by mental and health reasons don't you could still talk to me Tell me more about some of these kind of meat substitutes because I was watching a documentary and they had some kind of like some big and fast food and they looked exactly like kind of like a dead leaf the he would get after a night out but there might have jackfruit and wood and all of these different materials I mean some of them just look absolutely identical to me doesn't like yeah yeah so the thing with this is actually a lot of you can see them become big and because I don't like the taste of I'm a product for example I personally like the taste of meat I just like animals more than I like meat so I still want to be able to enjoy the same textures and flavors by obviously about the animal suffering being involved so it's a great choice for people who still want to have this in those and fast food experience but don't want to harm animals a very good compromise obviously between the 2 and it is not the healthiest thing out there but it is healthier than all the Such rated fat and cholesterol and growth factors and home owners that you find in meat that was was going to last you know it's an ethical way to eat bird I mean it's kind of like a reputation is the kind of bit of a misconception the eat in adopting a plant based on bane of Eagan is going to be healthy to increase because some of it is still bad for you isn't it yes yes all diets are individual you can have a healthy they can diet you can have an unhealthy can diet and it's the same with a meat based Ayat as well so you still do have to make sure that you get the correct new change it's not overly complicated if quite straightforward as soon as you group food into that if and you change such as protein calcium ion so it's not the case that we need meat and milk to get our protein and culture it's just the case that we need those new trends and we can get them from plant forces as well as . The British Medical Association which is getting lots of each year nutrition in the u.k. They actually said the message that every going diet is suitable for people for all ages and ice ages so start the case of doing a tiny bit of research on what to eat and ensuring that you get all the nutrients Domenica thank you so much for speaking to is this morning I'll call my last is certainly my many things a few people I know and I love me on I love my meat you know you are not going to sit here and preach for one second but we went out see some friends and we were sent down in a ball and they were talking about a documentary they'd watched on Netflix and they said look you know you want to watch it it's not turned as we go on but we thought more and more about how much how much meat we do consume and I've had that conversation so many times I think over the last couple of months with people saying yes you know we need to be more aware we need to kind of cut back on some of armies and to hear. The ones that surprise you you know some of you might that you've grown up with that you know will have a kabob on the way I mean you know that they'll have a share a box of nuggets or something you know to to try and soak up the alcohol these are the ones now that content. And I find it I find it fascinating I think it's I think it's really really interesting clearly there's something in yeah it's a subtle shift isn't it and I think it's very much it's very much a little of what you fancy and you know mixing it up there's no harm in that you can eat no can do whatever we live but mixing up the diet sometimes is quite effective trying to be a bit different trying to be a new it's just coming out so you have past 7 we want to hear from you today songs for dogs it's as simple as that there are not is a song title which would be perfect for your pitch to how long to of a morning or whether or not your pet loves the music you listen to do you get a reaction from your dog when you start playing a certain track or certain song what is that music and what does your dog. To We'd love to hear from you this morning is all about the research that Blue Cross the veteran group of done about that the targets of music that some animals are actually really responding say and we're going to play some of that I was the next hour but we want to hear from you this morning we're trying to compile a bit of a list of of those Chines either that you don't should be listening to because they've got some kind of doggie pun in the title or that your pets actually love 101 for 9 with your suggestion place you are listening to breakfast on b.b.c.

So this is it just literally they join in and how long with why do they like him they do they like rhythm and I just love love warm but my own what I really love as well is Jones Oh I see that lovely pure voice I suppose maybe that's the key to it but I think maybe the pitch for the ears is almost like a dog whistle probably.

Of God pork scratchings advent calendar and I split my scratching 3 right got my problems whatsoever you know that raises about every issue that I didn't because we are tending to spoil our pets a bit more Only this time this year we can't help it we were full of the joys of Christmas and so we need to be a little bit careful about kind of overdoing the generosity we do I mean there's a couple of things you need to watch 1st of all leaving things around I mean my daughter usually love the challenge on the sofa or the selection box Be careful really care for the chocolate fruitcake.

I ratings only. With recount but it's afternoon our very own Funny Girl Mamie it got me chuckling all the way oh yesterday I was going for the traffic she was talking about jumping out of a plane going backwards Oh I was just laughing out. But this afternoon name is going to be chatting to wild famous singer songwriter James Blunt himself now James Brown is recently released his sick studio album and blunt is back and he's going for Christmas number one with his latest single moment where he is a little teaser of what's to come when they're replaced true or false with some of the new stories circulating about James Blunt at the moment James Blunt heats up food using his own armpits Well that would be silly wouldn't it. No I don't do that but this come from that's because I used to be in the Army I was a reconnaissance you get ration packs that come in that kind of silver bags and then yeah if you're if you can't eat the food then then you might stick it on your armpit just to get it to body temperature and then Egypt but I am no longer in the Army and I do have a microwave you have utensils at home what a joy to know Ok Marmite is James Blunt's singing superpower true I've you know you can literally apply that you know just a teaspoon full of that swallow it and it's like vitamin b 12 to the throat it's like oil lubricant to the throat and so on stage Occasionally I've had it to my monitor so in between songs I can use the squeezy one and I'm fully lubed up and good to go I have actually had it where the lights went off the squeeze into my mouth missed my mouth got all round my mouth the lights came back on and people look to me like oh my God what's he been doing. Getting a bit too close to the guitarist really an absolute All right. Kind of folk thing because I've only heard that meaning you can hear the full interview with the. Naomi from 12 o'clock this afternoon I can already guarantee just from listening to that little tease it's going to be something you do not want to miss 5 minutes to feel about the Christmas not been on the telly for ages now doesn't it they sort of popping up in late November but they are so important particularly as we enter this last sort of few weeks of Christmas shopping millions and millions of pounds of going into these ads months of planning to try and grab your attention and the people who make and produce those advocates are working year round to make that stuff stand out I'm sure but Mary's been speaking to those who work in the industry and can share some of their secrets doctrine exclude an angry mob shallots because Christmas talk was about spoilers shutdown but if you. Can. Bring that to me so you will. Hear after here Christmas festivities begin with the advent of companies pitching for your hard earned dollars so. It's focusing on motion. Happiness they've probably already started working on next is this is a key time of year for retailers so some students of advertising and digital marketing the University of North Hampton popped by to use some industry jargon and increase sales through the noise of thinking in motion comics. So let's flick through some of the most prominent a man with an Argos catalogue sits in his kitchen and comes across a drum kit tops twice on the page to his surprise at least side of him as he begins to buy a debate his cooker dishwasher and cabinets spin rolling to reveal stage lights his toaster and kettle expel steam his entire hoist morphs into a concert stage Kitty Russia I think is cheeky how they put all that product placement in there I think it's clever because it's not showing Here's our products it showing Here's the story. It's like being a big kid everything you see in this you can get dots rights and the Big Book of Dreams moving on. Marks and Spencer. In a traditional British neighborhood everyone has sold their am an ass Christmas jumpers and joins in a kind of dancing flash mob the messages are jumpers make you have a fairly little there's a 3rd student to come out or something and it weighs no big fights but what I think it's a really good buy of getting people to say oh C.M.'s I didn't think back to that and it just gets a talking a far cry from the. Traditionally killer it's because he's grappling like sounding like this is indeed snots just an eminence Christmas although they hopped on one of those as well and I can find these be. Earned itself a place on the advent calendar I find. I think the only reason people know that John never thought it was ever makes a massive deal out of it heartstrings dying all over the place a young dragon has a bit of a tech he brings fire when he's excited and on this occasion he incinerates the times entire Christmas tackle. Awkward. He locks himself away before being brought back into the fold in time for the bad back quit by creating these emotions the so conscious minds of the consumers of the message received was as say as your emotions created with a brand. And more one time to purchase and let's talk economics it's no secret that for retail Christmas is the biggest time of the year even though the days of on inhibited spending up and down the High Street are gone Brahms' the world over can justify to their board members spending millions every year on getting our attention. So the plotting for the festive dinner.
