Which is summarize that is with us now good morning Sam morning cause how you doing yeah all good here is a little bit snowy So how would you how would you sum up the very brief day Flitcroft era at the town oh my that's an a. I think there's been some good things I think since. Change the formation race and they there's been signs of life and. It's been served up but I think people have been very split on the performance of the ground for the majority think the. Majority the fans and the certainly taken to him but we're in a good position and that's the biggest head scratcher about. Situations like this so Hobbs try to. Position support the choir or I'll change an image of. It's incredibly prominent he completely frank I was really surprised when I saw the tweet. Now there's an 11 games to go as a said before I mean how fast to the club have to what to look for a replacement it's quite a dilemma did they get somebody in quickly as kava or is it about but I did that time to to find the right pen some for the long for the long game and yeah I mean that's that that's the biggest predicament at the moment I mean if it was a mid table team we're talking about with aspirations of playoffs or no sort of relegation that it would be too much of a concern but I mean you can't you can't do something that's going to rock the boat too much you need someone these is going to come in and tweak it a little bit here and there this explain a bit much if I should try to guess I was a lot of what we had 5 years ago with. Temporary charge and Kevin McDonald came in and I think in an ideal situation he'd want someone with a bit of experience but of course finding someone is going to come in and just be a quick fix and just a short time job is a difficult predicament I mean this travel on I'm all about contracts except for the maybe that will be the wildcard and obviously he'd have to lay it on someone that's already at the club. Experienced players there and of course we've got a McLaughlin an athlete a coker by 15 credibly knowledgeable chops as well so you know my preference would be someone who's got experience management I mean it would have to be a short term thing you can have someone come in and try to implement you know someone a guy trying to implement new ideas except for when there's any and I think I actually got. I think there's a much bigger story to tell his sound Listen thanks very much for joining us this morning former strike hurts when a town strike has some parking there and of course weather permitting we will be welcoming Yeovil to the County Ground on Saturday so we may have more news that we may not but because he will she will bring We hear all that news as when we get it we're trying to cover every single study based on the program today and I think we're getting there but this is one thing I've not considered so thank you to Martin I think in Chippenham we're somewhere that start c.h.

And many 700 people have signed a petition calling for the Lansdowne monument in Charile neck come to be restored and uses a 32 I'm going to bring us a summer festival nice before 9 o'clock just to try to warm us up allow benign stuff a shiver imagine the cold lager shorts flip flops maybe an ice cream needed a worm or a festival in July sometimes tips for that wasn't yesterday and I saw somebody wearing shorts their legs all red idiots not even I could ever ask every year whether with a leaner long long time or at least a week in it before any were going to even begin to imagine wearing shorts again Alina a do you see somebody walking the streets of the day yesterday with their shorts on and I thought you are quite bonkers Ok we've been to the gym so maybe it is a bit warmer for that anyway braver than me very very cold out there it will stay that way we had lows overnight minus 5 minus 6 they're not much higher than that at the moment of course we're ready seen some snow this morning starting to pull away northwards now so it will ease off for a time but it looks like we'll start to see more developing through this afternoon into this evening and overnight as we have an amber warning from the Met Office just to the west of us across parts of Devon Somerset and up into South Wales about just increase that to read but here us here in Wiltshire it's still a severe weather warning expecting some significant snow some disruption also some strong winds that will see blizzards later on today and as the snow starts to settle with the strong winds could also get some drifting so we could easily see 10 to 20 centimeters in places perhaps even more over the tops of the hills for more eastern parts of the county might be something like $5.00 to $10.00 centimeters I think all of us will see some noticeable snow so temperatures overnight much same as it will be this afternoon really minus 3 minus 4 Celsius a little bit lower overnight but feeling much colder given the strength of the wind and through tomorrow that snow will slowly start to move way north woods behind if you spells the sunshine but also for the snow showers and again given the strength of the wind it will feel bitterly cold just a quick heads up to the weekend when we. Quite as cold temperatures maybe even get a getting above freezing but it'll be a wintry mix of rain sleet and snow on both days it's still going to feel fairly cold. Alina I don't expect you to know the answer definitively but you know as a member of the public you might want to discuss it with me Julien barfs as bad morning not sure how true this is but I think going round social media this morning is that your car insurance isn't valid if a red weather warning is issued heard that one before me ever heard of that without means everybody is not insured they can't be tree and I love that about the science to me like that a definitive answer I think you are trust you on that one Alina Jenkins back with the weather to be fatter if it turns out to be true is not her fault right she's never been asked that before she certainly never heard it Julian Bartley thanks for putting in the mix if you've got your theories on it let us know how 345951 double 3 double 6 For what it's worth our monoline aside Surely that's an absolute no nonsense. Great b.b.c. World show.

What you will know that all last month a very unofficial juror was taking on the wife's free February challenge so buy what she wanted live trust along with what you can so the aim really was to reuse and recycle as much as possible to reduce the amount you were throwing out well Febreze flown by and is now over you know I know it's hard to believe that with the weather working like it is out the window so 1st of March how did we are known gets on here we go watch snorts find out 9 pm 28th of February I have done it or have I. Well I started off with good intentions. One. Unfortunately I've managed to fill 123456 jam jars they're arranged neatly in my kitchen in a nice triangle at the moment unfortunately though filled to the brim There's also a little pot. Which is slightly bigger than my John Giles to be honest that's probably one and a half John just filled with well various bits and pieces that couldn't be reused or recycled and I'm ashamed to say that. He does so well with this because I made the mistake at the beginning of the month at buying some chips from the local chippie and they came in a pilot study. Sort of wrapper packet tray like most of them do. And the next time that I went to the chippy that I would bring a Tupperware box with me and just straight from work today a colleague was going along to get some chips I thought you know what yeah I've worked quite a long day today and I don't feel like cooking when I get home so I'll come with you and as we were walking out of the fish and chip shop I suddenly saw. Not the end of ways free from. All the challenges inspired by Gemma and from which one life tries to manage to do what Renaissance they were found awesomely into again an entire month rubbish into just one jump jump still scratching my head is how you did that and listening to someone else found Gemma I suppose it makes your achievement even more remarkable good morning Hi Ben Yeah I was actually quite disappointed a couple of days ago having had so much rubbish in one jam jar listening to that I'm actually feeling very proud yeah Has it been since viewing the 1st day of March do you still keep still still. Yes so far today. Is a massive relief to have the days over and not have to monitor referee single thing that I produce you know but to be fair I actually found this February this month actually easier than last year's challenge. Yeah say well isn't. Quite stressful and easy I think because you know in that time producers of cotton on and I know that the public is going to probably look at those 5050 decisions and and are on the side of doing a bit south of the world yeah I think so I think I found it easier shopping in supermarkets seem to be a lot more options on the loose but instead of buying packaged I still did have. To shop in several different places but do you think. Manufacturers' everyone are more aware now especially last. But yeah I think I've adopted a lot more changes as well since last year for me personally I think because I've already adopted a lot of the changes that some people are still trying to adopt now thank you but a food for thought there not packaged excessively food for thought of course as to what you might want to do this year if that's what your aims just you know leave a bit of a smaller footprint on the world so the right example to kids new grandkids or what have you a 55 there's an interesting piece in the paper today a. Breeds of dogs that are on the brink as the Times puts it I'm obsessed by this what with wanting as many different breeds as we can rather big event that we've got plan which I'll tell you a little bit about in just a 2nd of course if you've been living in a cave but congratulations if you've got one of these because you're doing your bit to sustain them carry Blue terriers Celia music terriers English toy terriers Irish and red white setters Welsh corgis the Scottish deerhound fox terriers a lot of terriers Lancashire healer never heard of one of those before the Norwich Terrier the Irish Water Spaniel is one of those in my village a lovely English Mastiff always at risk the English settler there's one of those sets or rather in our village his wife and his 2 lovely creatures and this just looks fantastic he got an otter around well congratulations because one they're handsome dynamic beautiful but apparently there are fewer and fewer of them it's an interesting piece in the papers today if you want to check how your breeds doing.

I don't mean any Syrian artists in the u.k. .
