Weather The Daily Express has a real thing for weather stories. Britain is set to shiver in a minus twelve degrees arctic blast. Deep freeze will last for a week. Minus twelve is some temperature. Of course, the Daily Express as I say loves to do weather stories, and Paul normally shoots it down in flames. Well well see what hes got to say about that one later on. Pets More than a third of Britains cats and dogs six million pets are overweight according to startling figures just out. 8 in 10 vets now run special clinics for overweight animals, can you believe that? The aim is to educate owners and help them to get their pets in shape. The pet fat clubs are likely to be oversubscribed in January as 31% of owners admitted that their pets put on weight over Christmas, so there we are, a third of Britains cats and dogs are overweight, and the only people to blame are us.

Drink Men with high blood pressure can cut their risk of heart attacks with a daily tipple, according to scientists. Traditionally, doctors advised sufferers to increase exercise and cut consumption of fat to reduce the likelihood of a heart attack, stroke, or kidney damage, but researchers found that one or two alcoholic drinks such as single measures of spirits or glasses of wine can have the same effect. Thats good news for all, isnt it? High blood pressure? Well take two drinks a day and its official, for those who want an excuse. Quiet Well I dont know if anyone else has noticed how quiet it is on the roads at the moment. It seems very different, and its not just the fact that the schools are not back yet. Figures show that record numbers of workers all over the country, not just in our region are taking a full fortnight off over Christmas and the New Year. Instead of joining the traditional return to work yesterday, theyre extending their holidays until next week. Other employee will be tempted to call in sick to give themselves extra time off. Employers have warned that the extended breaks could damage the economy, but many people have taken this week off and wont be returning to work until next Monday at the earliest. Its alright for some! Pictures If youve got any pictures of scenic views over the Christmas break, we show pictures every night. Last night on the programme we showed a gorgeous sunset at North Landing in Flamborough. If youve got something you think we should see, then send it to me at the usual address and well put it on the programme.
