Scenes of snow in Plymouth yesterday

MINUTE

PENNY CROSS

A HOMELESS snowman has appeared on Union Street.

As people enjoyed playing in the snow, Harry the Homeless Snowman was built with a very different message.

A group of volunteers known as ‘Help the Homeless in Plymouth’ created him with the help of school children.

Harry was built next to the Palace Theatre to help “lighten up the mood” during the cold weather conditions which can be a difficult time for those who are homeless.

Volunteers Mike and Kirsty along with Leony Stokes, Liam Oakes and five-year-old Reuben, built the snowman, leaving a note attached which reads: “Made by Help the Homeless and the local community. Harry the homeless snowman.”

Senior volunteer Mike said: “As us volunteers decided to build a snowman, we were joined by my friend and her son.

“Reuben had just been picked up as the school closed, he’s five and had never seen snow, let alone a snowman.

We had a great morning in building Harry The Homeless Snowman.”

Plymouth School of Creative Arts, which is situated behind the Palace Theatre donated items from their unused lunch menu to the homeless.

The Palace Theatre is in constant need of donations and is open between 2pm and 3pm, Monday to Friday or any evening after 9.30pm.

The group open the theatre doors at 9.30pm for two hours, seven days a week and they provide the homeless with a number of things, ranging from food to clothing, toiletries and bedding. There is also a warm room that is separate from the volunteers. The homeless have access to the room between 9.30pm and 11.30pm.

Irma relief effort given extra £25m

‘Stay at home’ warning as the snow sets in THERESA May defended the Government’s “speedy” response to the devastation of Hurricane Irma as she promised a further £25m to the relief effort.

The Prime Minister announced the extra money in the Commons amid criticism of the Government’s actions following the disaster in the

Caribbean. The £25m is in addition to the £32m already promised to tackle the devastation.

Further troops will also be heading to the region and 40 tonnes of aid has already been delivered, Mrs May said.

Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn told Mrs May to examine the speed of the

Government’s response to the tragedy.

Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has travelled to the British Overseas Territories in the region including Anguilla to “see the recovery work at first hand and assess what more is needed”, Mrs May said as she set out the Government’s response.

‘Homeless’ snowman offers message of a very different kind

How does cold in Plymouth compare to -50C in Siberia?

FREEZING temperatures have hit Plymouth and more snow is set to fall.

The city has not experienced snow since 2010 and many services have been disrupted, but one snow expert has offered top tips for coping. Julia Glukhikh (pictured), a law student at Plymouth University, has experienced temperatures as low as -51°C in her hometown of Siberia.

Julia said “once it goes below -30°C, you stop feeling any significant difference”.

The 21-year-old said: “Wrap up warm, multiple layers of clothes and a super-warm pair of boots. Also, in Russia because it’s that cold, we have heating on all the time so when I’m at home I don’t even suspect it may be ridiculously cold outside.”

Julia’s top tips for coping in cold temperatures is to wrap up warm and don’t underestimate the cold weather; drink hot drinks, but never when outside; eat honey which warms you up with a couple of teaspoons in your tea; stay inside a shop when waiting for public transport and if you feel unwell or you have lost sensation in any part of your body and it’s not getting better in the warmth seek medical attention.

Robber threatened staff with screwdriver RACHAEL DODD Herald Reporter

rachael.dodd@plymouthherald.co.uk

POLICE were looking for a man in connection with an armed robbery in Barne Barton.

The Co-operative store in Poole Park Road was robbed on Wednesday after the man reportedly threatened staff with a screwdriver .

Police were called at 5.05pm to the shop opposite Riverside Community Primary School.

A large amount of cash was taken from the till, though the

full amount has not yet been confirmed.

A spokesperson for Devon and Cornwall Police, said: “The man has arrived at the shop and collected several items before going to the till.

“He has approached the till and the worker has scanned his items. He has then lent over with a screwdriver up his sleeve, demanding the cash.

“He’s then fled from the scene on foot.”

Nobody was injured in the incident and no arrests have yet been made.

The man is believed to be in his early 30s and is described as a white with a “loc al

accent”. He is thought to be between 5ft 5 and 5ft 9 and was wearing a navy blue baseball cap and a navy blue duffle coat with the hood up.

Anyone who was in the store around the time of the incident, or if you have information call the police on 101 quoting CR/ 017897/18.

Drug danger to mental health CARL EVE

Cannabis grown in a home ‘factory’

Crime Reporter ceve@plymouthherald.co.uk

POLICE in Plymouth say they are seeing more “super strength skunk” m a r i j ua n a than ever before, following publication of research which highlights the potential threat posed to users’ mental health.

King’s College London has published the first comprehensive survey of cannabis strength for nearly 10 years which has shown that highpotency varieties made up 94% of police seizures in 2016.

Researchers analysed almost 1,000 seizures of cannabis from London, Kent, Derbyshire, Merseyside and Sussex – the same areas last sampled in 2005 and 2008.

The researchers found that 94% of seizures in 2016 were high-potency marijuana – often referred to as skunk – compared to 85% in 2008 and 51% in 2005.

The three main types of street cannabis were defined by researchers as hash or resin, herbal cannabis often named weed or grass and highpotency cannabis.

The high-potency skunk contains more of the psychoactive ingredient THC than some other types of cannabis, such as hash.

Hash is made from the resin of the plant, while herbal cannabis is made from the dried leaves and flowering parts of pollinated cannabis plants.

Hash and herbal cannabis are considered to be milder than skunk. That’s because they contain higher levels of a substance called CBD (cannabidiol) which experts say works as an anti-psychotic and

counteracts some of the negative effects of THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

Skunk is made from unpollinated cannabis plants which naturally contain higher levels of THC – the substance that gives recreational users the ‘toned’ feelings they seek from the drug, but can also cause unwelcome side effects, including paranoia and hallucinations.

A recent King’s College of London study, based on a study of 780 people in South London, suggested the risk of

psychosis was three times higher for users of the more potent skunk cannabis than for non-users.

The study found the use of hash, the milder form of the drug, was not associated with increased risk of psychosis.

The research team is now investigating whether changes to the cannabis market in the UK are having a measurable impact on mental health. According to the Royal College of Psychiatrists, there is sufficient evidence to show that people who use can-

nabis, particularly at a younger age, such as around the age of 15, have a higher than average risk of developing a psychotic illness, including schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

According to Home Office statistics, cannabis was the most commonly used drug in 2016-17, with 6.6% of adults aged 16 to 59 having used it in the last year.

Dr Marta Di Forti, MRC clinician scientist at King’s College London’s Institute of Psychiatry, Psychology &

Neuroscience, one of the senior authors of the new research, said: “In previous research we have shown that regular users of high-potency cannabis carry the highest risk for psychotic disorders, compared to those who have never used cannabis.”

She added: “More attention, effort and funding should be given to public education on the different types of street cannabis and their potential hazards. Public education is the most powerful tool to succeed in primary

prevention, as the work done on tobacco use has proven.”

Det Con Simon Rawlinson, Drug Liaison Officer at Plymouth police said officers had first hand experience of the dangers of the higherpotency skunk use.

He said: “The skunk-type cannabis can sell for around £10 a gram while the price for the simple old-style leaf cannabis is a little under £3 a gram. It’s financially more profitable from the criminal to grow and sell the higherpotency cannabis.

“In Plymouth all the seizures we’re getting is highpotency cannabis. At the same time officers are encountering a rise in mental health issues.”

According to drug seizure figures, the most prevalent drug seized in the city is herbal cannabis.

In 2016 The Herald reported on a study led by Exeter University which found some cannabis smokers were more likely than others to experience visual distortions, paranoia or psychotic-like symptoms when suing the drug. The study found this was down to a variation in one gene, the AKT1, which was present when young cannabis smokers went on to develop mental health problems.

At the time Professor Celia Morgan, of Exeter University, said the discovery could be a first step in treating people that went on to develop cannabis-related psychosis.

She added: “Putting yourself repeatedly in a psychotic or paranoid state might be one reason why these people could go on to develop psychosis when they might not have done otherwise.”

The Royal William Yard marina and (below left) Ben Squires

Grand plan for makeover of RWY marina SARAH WADDINGTON Herald Reporter

sarah.waddington@plymouthherald.co.uk

PLYMOUTH Boat Trips founder Ben Squires has signed a deal to take on the Royal William Yard’s marina waterfront area and give it a makeover.

The harbour will be undergoing a deep clean, with a fresh lick of paint, new signs and modern lighting.

Mr Squires, 42, has been running Plymouth Boat Trips for nearly half his life and is excited about his next big business venture, Royal William Yard Marina Ltd. “The marina is the heart of the Yard,� said Mr Squires, “the beating soul. People are naturally drawn to boats bobbing on the water and the fantastic view. It is a big attraction. “The first thing we will do is get everything sparkling and this summer we are going to bringing in some lovely boats to be our annual berth holders. We want to mix it up a bit, with lovely, modern motor boats and some classic boats as well. The boat is a great way to get to the yard, on the ferry or your own vessel, and our arms are open. We want you here.�

three years old and started running the ferry service from the Yard last July after it went up for tender.

Through this he got to know the Urban Splash team, and since November they have been working on a deal for the future of the marina.

Emily Handslip, commercial lettings director for Urban Splash, which is responsible for the regeneration of the Yard, said the team will be making more of the water by drawing more events to the harbour area in the future.

This will include events like catch and cook, where people can hop on a fishing boat, catch their dinner, then come back to the Yard to cook it or have it cooked for them.

Talking about the exciting venture, Ms Handslip said: “We originally met Ben when

our ferry operation came up for tender and Ben successfully won that agreement and since then he has done great things, not only connecting it through to the Barbican, but also round to Mount Edgcumbe, improving the ferry service dramatically. “We’ve got to know Ben really well through that relationship and became increasingly confident of his ability and his vision with what he could do with our marina. “We are going to work really closely on trying to make more of the water by drawing more events to the marina, making it the heart and soul of some of the events we have got planned over the year and into the future as well. “We will be marketing the marina as a place that visiting boats can drop into, from Salcombe, Fowey, Dartmouth, or wherever, round to the Yard, almost on a pay and displaytype basis. We want it to be an active waterway, not a static boat park.�

Mr Squires said: “I am really excited as I love the Royal William Yard. Urban Splash is a cutting-edge business and it is great to be working with them. The marina is going to be buzzing and vibrant. We are going to have some great boats in there with people having a great time.�

News The vulnerable Plymouth rail link at Dawlish

Farmer crushed under tractor A PIONEERING farmer well known for filming documentaries for David Attenborough was crushed by his tractor when it overturned on a steep slope, an inquest has heard.

Timothy Green was working at his farm, Village Farm Organics in Salcombe, when the fatal accident occurred on February 10 last year. Pathologist Dr Syred concluded Mr Green’s death

was “very swift” due to the compression injuries he suffered, recording the cause as an extensive traumatic crush injury. The inquest jury at Plymouth Coroners’ Court concluded Mr Green died as a result of the accident on the farm.

On the day of his death, Mr Green had gone to find a rogue ram. Farm worker Emma Oliff said she had tried to warn Mr Green

about taking the steep route down the hill in the unsuitable tractor.

She said she wanted to wait for the co-director in the farm business Rebecca Hoskings to arrive but he insisted on going ahead.

“Tim said ‘we can do it, we’ll be fine. I was a bit hesitant [as I] wanted to wait for Rebecca – his confidence said we’ll do it, and he was the boss,” she said.

Rail problems report has no ‘miracle cure’ THE Government’s response to the region’s railway woes has failed to deliver a longedfor ‘miracle cure’.

Urgent work to shore up the vulnerable stretch of line between Teignmouth and Dawlish and flood-prone Cowley Bridge is among plans outlined by Jo Johnson, minister of state at the Department for Transport.

And Transport Secretary Chris Grayling has committed to delivering a modern railway in the South West that is resilient to extreme weather.

But his response to the Peninsula Rail Task Force’s Closing the Gap report, fell short on hoped for funding pledges and detail.

Mr Grayling said: “We are investing in the biggest modernisation of our railway network since Victorian times, providing faster, more reliable and more frequent services for passengers across the country.

“The 2014 storms caused devastation to Dawlish and huge disruption followed. It has been a key priority since I became transport secretary.

“That’s why we’re investing in the infrastructure of the region – making it easier for people to get around and better connecting the South West

to the rest of the country. And that’s why sorting out the route through Dawlish is my number one national rail priority.”

He said: “I want to do my part in driving economic success and helping the businesses of the South West create the better higher-paying jobs we all want to see.

“That’s why we’re investing in the infrastructure of the region”.

Sorting out the route through Dawlish, he said, is a key priority.

“It’s vital that we find a permanent solution to this engineering problem – which is a real challenge because of the unique terrain.

“My department has given £15 million to Network Rail to devise a solution and I want work to begin as soon as possible once they come forward with their proposals.”

Gary Streeter, South West Devon MP and chairman of the All-Party Parliamentary South West Rail Group, said: “The response was broadly as expected. I know we were all desperate for some kind of miracle cure for our railways but the reality is that it will be a really hard slog with incremental advances over 10-20 years.”

The Government response to the Closing The Gap report, a 20-year vision for the future

of the region’s railway network, came 15 months after it was delivered to Whitehall in November 2016.

But its response is not enough, said Geoff Brown, chairman of the Peninsula Rail Task Force.

He said after waiting 15 months for the response, he wanted to see a pledge of funding set aside with a timetable in place for the work to begin.

Cllr Brown said: “I am really disappointed. All they seem to have done is read the report and quoted it back at us with things we already know.

“It is jam tomorrow and the detail we were expecting just has not materialised.”

Mr Streeter said that although Mr Johnson’s response does not mention wider funding, he said he has been assured that £20m has been “set aside” for resilience plans at Dawlish.

Luke Pollard MP for Plymouth, Sutton & Devonport branded it a “complete and utter sham of a report”.

He said: “It sets out only what the Government is already doing, not what it needs to do. “As a region we are being fobbed off by the Government.

“We are being basically told to accept this poor deal, and I won’t accept it for the South West.”

News Child, 7, ‘scalped’ by dog A CHARITY shop worker whose Airedale terrier dog ‘scalped’ a sevenyear-old girl has been fined £300. The dog, called Rhett, will now have to wear a muzzle whenever he goes out.

Newton Abbot magistrates heard how the little girl had been patting Rhett at Stover Country Park on a summer evening last year. Owner Elizabeth Lamboll and the girl were giving Rhett treats and everything was going ‘perfectly well’. The girl’s mother was there with their own dog.

But then as Rhett moved away, the little girl went to hug him, and the dog grabbed her head between its jaws and shook her. She suffered a large wound on the top of her head which prosecutor Christopher Bittlestone described as a ‘scalping’ injury.

The court heard the girl had teeth marks on her torso as well as the head injury. She had to have plastic surgery at Bristol Children’s Hospital.

In a statement to the court the girl’s mother said her daughter had started to suffer from anxiety after the attack.

She had nightmares and was nervous of dogs.

The dog had never done anything like it before, said Mr Bittlestone, and Ms Lamboll was extremely upset.

She was fined £300 and ordered to pay costs of £85 and a victim surcharge of £30.

Walker’s shock at seeing rubbish spilling into river SARAH WADDINGTON

Litter beside the River Plym

Herald Reporter

sarah.waddington@plymouthherald.co.uk

SARAH WADDINGTON

A WALKER says she was left ‘horrified’ after seeing piles of rubbish spilling into a river which leads to one of the city’s key tourist spots.

Glynis Dyson has accused Chelson Meadow Recycling Centre of marring the River Plym, near to Saltram House, but council chiefs insist this is the work of irresponsible fly-tippers.

Miss Dyson, who lives in Lipson, was walking along the path by the tip, on Monday when she spotted the litter blowing into the river “from the centre itself”. And to make matters worse, she claims staff were “making no attempt” to clear it up.

The 56-year-old freelance copyeditor and proof-reader said: “I was angry and frustrated at seeing the litter. Only the day before I’d watched a shared video on Facebook of a whale that had swum into a harbour in Norway to die.

“Eventually it was shot as it wouldn’t return to the sea and was clearly in distress. When they opened it up they discovered 30 plastic bags in its stomach. I used to wonder how plastic got into the oceans; on Monday, at Chelson Meadow I understood why, and what was horrifying was that nobody seemed to care or be doing anything about it – and this at a time when the whole world is becoming aware of the problems of plastic in waterways and seas.

“On Friday last week [February 23] I actually picked up the largest of many plastic bags that were being blown around in that area and spent 30 minutes doing my best to clear up the worst of the rubbish.

“I took it over to the recycling centre and asked why nobody was doing this job. I was told that ‘it was too windy’ that day! I was flabbergasted.

“When I spoke to somebody in

charge at the centre he told me that they sent people out two or three times a day to clear the rubbish.

“They may be obliged to do it, but I don’t think that any clearing up is done on any regular basis there. In the meantime, the estuary is becoming choked with plastic bags and rubbish and this will affect the wildlife and the environment. It is heart-breaking that this is being allowed to happen.”

It is estimated the world is now producing nearly 300 million tons of plastic every year, half of which is for single-use. More than eight million tons of plastic is dumped into our oceans every year, it is said.

The United Nations Environment Programme estimates there could be as many as 51 trillion microplastic particles in the oceans already.

Scientists say plastic in the ocean disrupts the entire bio-geo cycle causing unwanted problems to the whole marine eco-system.

On seeing the pictures of the rubbish spilling into the River Plym, a spokesperson for Plymouth City Council insisted the site is cleared “on a daily basis” and the extra litter is probably the result of fly-tipping.

The spokesperson said: “Chelson Meadow is Plymouth’s biggest household waste and recycling centre. To make sure that litter is not blown from the site it is swept and cleared on a daily basis.

“The Ride Road is the scene of persistent fly-tipping and the majority of the waste pictured is likely to have resulted from that. The Street Scene and Waste Team have been informed and will investigate and clear the area.

Fly tipping is one of the most infuriating environmental crimes. It is also costly and time consuming, both to clear up and to investigate.

“We would strongly encourage anyone witnessing a fly tipping incident to report it via our website with any information they can provide.”

Suspended jail terms for attack Indecent images found on laptop TWO friends have been spared jail for punching and kicking a stranger unconscious after a row in a crowded city pub.

Stephen Edwards (pictured), aged 22, and 21year-old George Pardew were handed suspended sentences after a dispute over pushing at the crowded bar turned violent, a court heard.

But Edwards may have to give up his hopes of joining the Army because of what happened outside the Union Rooms.

Angry off-duty security guard Stephen Edwards punched Alex Yates to the ground in the early hours, a jury ruled. Seconds later electrician Pardew kicked or

stamped on his head, Plymouth Crown Court heard.

Mr Yates was unconscious for 15 to 20 minutes and needed hospital treatment for cuts to his head. He could not eat solid food for four days.

Judge Paul Darlow said: “Both of you outside of the offence that night are men of impeccable character, hard-

working, well-liked and wellrespected.”

Edwards was handed an 18week prison sentence and Pardew was given a 12-week prison term, both suspended for 12 months.

Each man was ordered to pay Mr Yates £775 in compensation and £115 victim surcharge to the court.

Edwards, of Cressbrook Close, Mainstone, denied assaulting Mr Yates causing actual bodily harm at about 2am on April 23 last year. But he was found guilty by a jury after a trial.

George Pardew, aged 21, who gave the court the same address, had already admitted the same offence.

A PERVERT with hundreds of indecent images of children on his computer was shopped by his own brother, a court heard.

Loner Steven Wright, aged 35, left the laptop at his father’s home – where the brother stumbled across vile search terms.

The computer was taken to a police station and Wright quickly confessed to his crime, Plymouth Crown Court heard.

Steven Jamie Wright, of Harewood Crescent, Honicknowle, pleaded guilty to three counts of possession of indecent images between February 2016 and April 2017.

He admitted charges of

possession of four images in Category A; six in Category B and nine in Category C. Category A images depict children being sexually abused by adults.

Michael Brown, for the Crown Prosecution Service, said that “hundreds” of indecent images of children were in fact found on the defendant’s laptop.

He added: “I cannot quite understand why the police saw fit to charge the amounts which they did.”

Mr Brown said that the defendant’s brother found Wright’s laptop at their father’s home.

He added: “The search history caused the brother some concern and he took

the laptop to the police station.”

Barry White, for Wright, said his client “rather went down the rabbit hole”.

He added: “His life is rather small. He had little in the way of a social network, little in the way of friends.”

The court heard that he was 35, had no previous convictions and had pleaded guilty immediately.

Judge Darlow handed Wright a six-month prison sentence, suspended for two years, with 35 days of intensive probation supervision. He must pay £340 prosecution costs and £115 victim surcharge. Wright must sign the Sex Offender Register for seven years.

A PLYMPTON mum’s determination after the discovery of a brain tumour on a Caribbean holiday has led her to raise more than £6,000 for research into the illness to continue in the city.

Sue Frost was diagnosed with a brain tumour in July 2012 shortly after having a seizure on a family holiday to the Caribbean.

Despite the tumour being benign, the mum-of-two suffers from seizures every two to three weeks which come on as she sleeps.

And the 47-year-old has lived in fear since the diagnosis that despite her tumour being benign, due to it slowly growing in size, it could one day become malignant. In May of last year, Sue was given the worrying news by her doctor that her tumour had grown larger in size but in November last year she had the surgery to remove it.

Unfortunately surgeons were unable to remove the entire tumour during the first operation and so Sue will be returning to hospital in April to complete the procedure.

The Derriford Hospital nurse told The Herald that following a chance meeting with a fundraising officer for

Brain Tumour Research she was inspired to take on the year-long challenge of raising the large amount the local lab need to stay open for just one day.

She has now raised double the amount she first expected to for the Plymouth laboratory of Brain Tumour Research, having held quizzes, cycling competitions and other sports events.

The money raised will be used to carry out research for two days in the city’s brain

tumour research lab which costs a whopping £1 million a year to keep running.

One day of research costs £2,740 and so Sue has been awarded two tiles on the Wall of Hope in the laboratory for her contribution.

One tile pays thanks to family and friends who helped her raise the funds and the other to her late mum who lost her battle in 1995 to breast cancer which also left her with secondary cancer of the brain.

Man Engine is resurrected for new THE awe-inspiring Man Engine is to be resurrected in the far west of Cornwall before heading on a tour of the UK’s industrial heritage sites.

The venues include a stop at Tavistock on April 3.

visiting key Cornish mining locations (Geevor Tin Mine, Heartlands and Lostwithiel) before heading up to the gateway of the Cornish Mining World Heritage Site, Tavistock then travelling on up to Radstock in Somerset, South Wales, Shropshire and Yorkshire.

“It’s been a long journey,” she said, “but it was a really proud day and nice that something positive has come of my illness.”

The risks of operating were high and it had not been an option before as it was feared it could cause stroke or left sided weakness as Sue’s tumour was so close to her motor centre. Sue was awake for the entire craniotomy but because she was not able to answer the surgeon’s questions well throughout, he was worried about the damage trying to remove too much could cause.

Sixty per cent of Sue’s tumour was removed in November but she will have a further operation to remove as much of the tumour as can be done safely.

The nurse highlighted how difficult her struggle has been following the discovery of her tumour on a family holiday, more than 12 hours from home.

“The first night there I had a massive fit and was blue lighted to hospital where they scanned me and found my tumour,” she said. “I had to be flown home with a doctor who had to come over from the UK to get me. It was an awful time.”

She emphasised why she

Bear business is one of UK’s top exporters WILLIAM TELFORD Business Editor

wtelford@plymouthherald.co.uk

PLYMOUTH’s cuddliest business has been named as one of the UK’s most successful exporters.

Collectable toy maker Charlie Bears has clawed its way up the SME Export Track 100, the list of small businesses selling best overseas.

T h e L a u n c e s t o n headquartered firm has jumped from number 96 to number 64 in the list after seeing a 52 per cent hike in exports over two years.

Charlie Bears, run by husband-and-wife team Will and Charlie Morris, boasts sales of £8,572,000, of which £2,867,000 comes from abroad. Also in the list, published annually by the Sunday Times, is Newton Abbotbased dancewear retailer First Position, and Liskeard’s Puckator.

The list, now in its fourth year, was topped by student verification service UniDAYS, from Nottingham, which has seen overseas sales soar by a jaw-dropping 299 per cent to make it a ÂŁ15million turnover company: But here is the lowdown on the Plymouth area businesses:

cats, dogs and even giraffes – annually since getting their paws on a huge export market.

The teddies, each designed by Charlie, are sold in 37 countries. A visitor attraction the firm created at its Cornwall base has become a tourist draw too – pulling in 2,500 visitors from as far as Australia, New Zealand and the USA in its first six months.

Charlie Bears, which employs 29 staff, became an overnight sensation after the teddies were featured on the QVC shopping channel shortly after the firm was launched in 2006 in Holsworthy.

They moved to Launceston in 2007 and exploited a gap in the market for mid-priced collectable bears. The firm has risen to become the leading collectable teddy bear brand in the UK. The bears are made in Thailand and Sri Lanka, where Charlie Bears has more than 1,000 workers.

It now has distribution facilities in Australia and the USA, but its main distribution nerve centre is in Launceston.

The firm manufactures 500,000 units of 140 different teddies – all designed by Charlie.

Its international sales have grown 39 per cent to ÂŁ9million, landing it at number 92 on the SME Export Track 100.

The company was founded in 1990, designing and producing products for retailers with customers across western and central Europe.

It is led by managing director Mark Howard, aged 61, and has invested heavily in showing off its products at European trade fair.

It is also ploughing cash into new product design.

Puckator has its own inhouse design and development department complete with professional sculptors.

It even has a website just for the German market.

Coining best A to Z of Britain JAME Bond, fish and chips, an English breakfast, the Loch Ness Monster and even queuing are celebrated in a new collection of “quintessentially British” 10p coins which will soon show up in people’s change.

The collection of 26 new 10p designs, unveiled by the Royal Mint, is intended as an A to Z of what makes Britain great – from the Angel of the North to a zebra crossing.

The English breakfast coin depicts a fried egg, bacon, sausages, tomato and beans, while the James Bond coin says: “007”.

Stonehenge, a double decker bus, the NHS and the Houses of Parliament are also celebrated in the collection, which is released into general circulation alongside collectors’ versions.

The Royal Mint also has a

PLYMOUTH could get even more coffee shops and gyms with major chains wanting to come into the city despite there already being outlets nearly everywhere you look.

Starbucks, Costa and, particularly Coffee #1 are keen on opening more Plymouth joints, a major business meeting heard.

And gym operators are making inquiries on a daily basis, a leading commercial property specialist said.

This ranges from independent personal trainers to huge chains including 24-hour gym operator Anytime Fitness, which hasn’t got a Plymouth operation yet.

And restaurant chains, trampoline and climbing parks – and even retail chains – are eyeing opportunities in the city too.

It means Plymouth is still attracting huge business interest even from sectors that are well represented or, such as retail and leisure, have been hit by economic headwinds of late.

About 100 business professionals were told the city is a huge draw for investors when Vickery Holman presented its annual Market Review, at the Royal Western Yacht Club.

Joanne High, who heads the firm’s Plymouth office, said the main constraint on chains arriving in Plymouth was a lack of units for them to move into. But it is expected that large-scale developments at Bretonside, where British Land is creating a multiplexled leisure centre, and Colin Campbell Court will provide new buildings for chains to occupy.

Mrs High said coffee chains were “absolutely” keen on Plymouth and added: “It’s the sort of thing we may see going into Bretonside.”

She said all the major chains were surveying Plymouth, particularly Coffee #1, which opened in Cornwall Street in 2017. “Coffee #1 is on a major expansion,” she said.

Meanwhile, gym operators are just as keen.

“I have a telephone call every day for a gym,” she said.

“Some are still looking for city centre locations.

“Trampolining and clip-

and-climb operators, they are looking round the city too.”

Restaurant chains are still gravitating towards Plymouth too, despite the casual dining crunch which has given chains such as Byron and Prezzo palpitations.

Mrs High said Plymouth’s restaurant clusters are outside the city centre, such as the Royal William Yard, unlike in other cities, for example Princesshay in Exeter.

But forthcoming developments at Bretonside and Colin Campbell Court could give the city two clusters.

She said the arrival of the Turtle Bay chain at St Andrew’s Cross in 2017 show how firms are already being attracted to the Bretonside are.

And she said: “If they (restaurant chains) are not already in Plymouth they are looking to be here.”

Mrs High said there was even interest from retailers, despite fears the high street is in decline nationally.

She said outlying areas such as Plympton and Ivybridge were attractive to independent “d e s t in a t i o n” t r a d er s , while Plymouth was a honeypot of chains.

A woman who killed her husband with a hammer has won the go-ahead to challenge her conviction.

Georgina Challen, known as Sally, says she killed 61-year-old Richard Challen in August 2010 after years of being controlled and humiliated by him.

Yesterday, after the Court of Appeal granted her leave to appeal, Challen’s son David said: “I think a lot of good can come from this for my mother and for anyone else suffering from mental domestic abuse in reference to coercive control.”

The detailed survey documents the Anglo-Saxon kingdom before and at the time of the invasion. It will be the highlight of the Anglo-Saxon Kingdoms exhibition, from October 19 to February 19, 2019.

Storms cause £10m in car damage – AA More than £10 million of damage has been done to cars in just three days as the Beast from the East pounces on the UK’s roads, an insurer has estimated.

Figures from the AA’s Cardiff-based car insurance claims team suggest that nationally the Siberian snow has led to more than 8,000

collisions – costing insurers more than £10.7million.

The estimated bill is based on the average cost of damage repairs being around £1,300. On Wednesday, the number of insurance claims was more than a third higher than on a normal Wednesday for that time of year, the AA said. Two-thirds of claims

related to mishaps in the snow and ice.

Michael Lloyd, the AA’s director of insurance, said: “Claims are going up as you might expect during the extremely icy weather that the country is experiencing.

“Based on the AA’s share of the car insurance market, we estimate that the total

number of private cars involved in collisions is well over 8,200 and rising. That equates to around £10.7 million of dented metal.”

The UK is currently gripped by two winter storms, the Siberian-borne Beast from the East and Storm Emma, which rolled in from the Atlantic yesterday.

Inquiry II must go ahead – Leveson

Sir Brian Leveson urged the Government to start the now-jettisoned second part of his inquiry into press standards because the public had been promised a full probe.

Culture Secretary Matt Hancock told the House of Commons that reopening the “costly and time-consuming” inquiry – which reported on press regulation in 2012 – was not “the right way forward”.

Leveson II was due to look into unlawful conduct within media organisations as well as relations between police and the press.

In a letter to the Home Secretary Amber Rudd and Mr Hancock dated January 23, Sir Brian, who is the head of criminal justice in England and Wales, said the bulk of the inquiry’s scope should go ahead.

He said: “I have no doubt that there is still a legitimate expectation on behalf of the public and, in particular, the alleged victims of phone hacking and other unlawful conduct, that there will be a full public examination of the circumstances that allowed that behaviour to develop and clear reassurances that nothing of the same scale could occur again.

“For the reasons given above, I do not believe that we are yet even near that posi-

tion and would urge you to give further consideration to the need for at least the bulk of part two to be commenced as soon as possible.”

He added that while he could not preside over the second part himself because of his workload, he would have been “very willing” to help another chairman.

And he said he could not see why Leveson II could not be organised in as “similarly efficient” a way as part one, which cost the taxpayer £5.4 million and ran for 17 months, while the level of press involvement was “a matter for them”.

Mr Hancock also announced that the Government will not put into effect a controversial measure which would have

required media organisations to sign up to a state-backed regulator or risk having to pay legal costs in both sides of a libel case, even if they won.

Labour shadow culture secretary Tom Watson described the decision not to go ahead with the second part of Leveson as “a bitter blow to the victims of press intrusion”.

Mr Hancock said there had been “significant progress” in the practices of the press and the police, including by the creation of the new Independent Press Complaints Standards Organisation, since 2012.

Telling MPs he was formally closing the inquiry, he said that priority should be given to dealing with the challenges of the modern media landscape, such as the rise of clickbait, fake news and social media.

Ian Murray, executive director of the Society of Editors, welcomed the “common-sense approach”, but warned that further challenges to press freedom remained.

But the director of campaign group Hacked Off, Dr Evan Harris, said: “This is probably the first time that a Government has over-ruled the views of the judicial Chair of a statutory Inquiry by cancelling an inquiry against his will.”

YOUR VIEWS QUOTES OF THE DAY

OPINION Wake-up call on Get in touch – tell us what you think cannabis Email: yoursay@plymouthherald.co.uk dangers Post: Letters, The Herald, Studio 9-11, Millbay Road, Plymouth PL1 3LF COMPARED to what are often considered ‘harder’ drugs such as heroin, the use of cannabis is something that many people are readily willing to admit to.

There has been a longstanding debate about the effects of decriminalising marijuana because of the potential benefits for sufferers of certain ailments, as well as a general attitude that a little bit of puff ‘won’t hurt you’.

Of course, there are some people for whom the use of medical marijuana would make a big difference – just as hospitals make use of opiates as powerful painkillers.

But just because the NHS makes use of morphine, does that mean we can justify using heroin or smoking opium? Of course not.

Yet that seems to be the reasoning that some people come back to.

However, the warnings of the threat of marijuana on mental health from researchers at King’s College London should act as a wake-up call to smokers of the drug that they could be doing their mental health significant harm.

Some of the problem is down to the variety of marijuana which is being seized by police – a likely indicator of the type of drug which is on the street.

More super-strength ‘skunk’ is being seen than ever before, which researchers say contains high levels of the psychoactive tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) – which can have side effects including paranoia and hallucinations.

This form of the drug is also associated with psychosis, and an investigation is on-going to find out whether changes in the UK cannabis market are having an effect on the country’s mental health.

Of course, the simplest and easiest way to make sure you – or your loved ones – are not affected by such dangerous side effects is to avoid using it.

RE TINA Jones’s letter in The Herald, “Conning Labour’s Brexit voters”. I do feel it is necessary to correct her factual inaccuracies.

Any factual analysis of Jeremy Corbyn’s record as a backbencher proves him to be both consistent and correct on many issues, including his vehement opposition to the invasion of Iraq and his opposition to the now discredited Private Finance Initiatives. The tired and hackneyed remarks regarding support for the IRA have long been discredited – like many others, including past Prime Ministers, Mr Corbyn favoured dialogue over violence to resolve the conflict in Northern Ireland.

Ms Jones suggests the Labour Party has been taken over by communists – this is simply nonsense.

Jeremy Corbyn, his shadow cabinet and the party manifesto promote a form of democratic socialism which is successful in many other northern European countries and was responsible for many of the social welfare developments in this country after WWII. Support for private business, wealth generation and innovation are fully supported in Labour’s manifesto, government intervention is only proposed to ensure that bona fide public services such as utilities and transport are run for the benefit of the public, not shareholders, and that progressive taxation is used to ensure a higher degree of fairness in society. This is absolutely not communism.

The suggestion that Mr Corbyn’s speech relating to a customs union was designed to divert attention from spying allegations is also nonsense. Those allegations have been withdrawn and the person who made the claims has apologised and made a charitable contribution.

Jeremy Corbyn has never described Brexit leave voters as xenophobic racists as implied in Ms Jones letter – he has always had his own misgivings about EU bureau-

cracy. However, he, like so many, including numerous Tory MPs, can see the damage having no customs agreement with the EU will bring – chaos in British and European ports, destabilisation of cross border relationships in Ireland and a significant negative impact on UK business – acknowledged by CBI and EEF. He is trying to avoid a situation which will have a disproportionately harsh effect on Britain’s working class.

This is hardly anti-British.

We are now almost 20 months beyond the Brexit vote and the complexity of the issue have become more evident to leave and remain voters alike. It has to be time to set aside simplistic or ideological motives and accept that the devil is in the detail.

We owe it to future generations to find a way of limiting the adverse effects of Brexit whilst respecting the democratic decision to leave the EU. Stephen Brown Mannamead

Homeless is terrible reflection on UK today ON WEDNESDAY there was a blanket of snow in Plymouth.

For the first time in nearly 20 years I drove on to the Torpoint Ferry whilst it was snowing.

But last night I feared a vulnerable adult may have been forced to sleep rough in Torpoint. I drove around in the town just in case this was actu■ Please keep letters as short as possible and include your full name, address and phone number.

ally happening. Why has it become so easy to be homeless in 2018?

W e know how to build flats and houses, we know how to keep them warm and put solar panels on them if we want to make them green and trendy.

We know how to make homes more then just an empty shell.

Does the government actually care about homelessness when the amount of private money in housing is considerable?

Knowing that people could be freezing to death on our doorstep makes words turn to ash and immaterial.

Homelessness is a terrible reflection on the lack of morality in Britain of today and this is even before you consider the UN’s condemnation towards how the UK treats disability.

I hope and pray we have a more inclusive tomorrow because the autistic children of today depend on a much more better world.

Marvellous memories of seeing The Beatles THE archive photos in The Herald, Tuesday, February 27, bought back some lovely memories of that time for me.

I was 14-year-old and my sister Jean was 13 years of age, when The Beatles came to Plymouth in 1963.

We both had paper rounds at that time and saved hard to pay for the tickets to see them.

They were worth every penny.

What an experience. It was the first live show we had seen.

Off for a snowy swim SEAN WALKER

Exodus begins as snow hits Hoe THOUGHT OF THE DAY

IT WAS 2010 when we last saw snow on the Hoe. Before that in the 1980s I remember struggling to get home from St Budeaux along the Crownhill Road, before the Parkway was finished. They had released the whole of the dockyard workforce early causing an omnishambles.

After that the authorities decided that should it ever occur again they would stagger the release of people, so that the whole of the yard workforce wasn’t choking up the roads.

I don’t know whether such a plan still exists, or the employees’ numbers are now relatively small, and the problem doesn’t arise.

This snow is really hitting southern England, as Canadians, Russians, and even the Scots take this all in their stride, having built houses to adapt, and transport links equally well equipped.

There are lots of consequences in this country. First of all we set out to work on a sunny day hoping things will work out. Then chaos sets in. Schools decide to close faster than the snowflakes are gathering. Parents and carers have to stand by to receive school children, thrilled with the prospect of timeoff and the fun of the snow.

The particular quality of the snow we are getting this week is a dry powdery sort, which doesn’t compact so well. It’s much harder

Out on the roads the gritters will be out distributing salt.

There are also standby bins of salt on hilly roads. We are asked not to stockpile this for our private use, but we can use our own table salt and dishwasher salt, an expensive alternative. We are also asked to report empty salt bins to the council. I saw on a weather website 14 different items to carry in your car if you are heading out.

It became a bit idealistic with coloured tabards, a shovel, and a warning triangle and so on, but

NOSTALGIA

MEMORIES

Snow-under with safety advice PANIC! Despite endless snow warnings there was meltdown in the city on Wednesday as thick flakes started falling and everyone rushed for home.

Shops, schools and offices began closing with workers heading to their cars to avoid being “snowed-in”.

The result was an inevitable log jam as a mass of panicking drivers simultaneously hit the slippery roads.

OK, so we need to be careful. In fact, the police were urging people only to travel yesterday if it’s “absolutely necessary”. But it’s not as if we weren’t warned to prepare for bad weather.

It’s a long time since we’ve had any serious snow in the South West so we can be forgiven for getting a little over-excited and a little over-anxious.

But I can’t help thinking that we’d somehow learn to cope with “snow days” if the bad weather

was likely to continue a bit longer.

How long would employers be prepared to allow workers time off to get children from closed schools? How long could public services be suspended for? And how much education should children miss?

I remember colder winters in my childhood when schools and workplaces remained open even on the snowiest days.

I was sent off, embarrassed to be forced to wear a pair of bright red Wellingtons, to a school seven miles away.

The school had a contingency plan of “snow homes”, meaning any child who lived too far away had somewhere within walking distance to sleep over if there was a blizzard. I was excited about staying at my friend’s house but sadly the occasion never arose.

The trains still ran, if a little late,

and the snowploughs cleared the roads for traffic.

Bins still got collected and the post and milk were still delivered.

While I don’t want to set off a rush of panic-buying, perhaps we should think back to how we used to prepare for bad weather, despite not having the benefit of modern weather forecasting techniques.

The Met Office is now spot-on in its predictions, even able to give an hourly forecast.

So surely we should have paid attention to the weathermen and changed our plans before the snow started falling this week.

But there’s the rub. The media’s obsession with any story predicting extreme weather has left many of us cynical about the reliability of forecasts. From summer heatwaves to polar winters, the headlines scream from the tabloids. The source of the pre-

dictions is usually some vague weather forecasting website, prepared to take a punt on the weather for the sake of snatching some cheap hits.

The sensational headlines keep coming but the hot/cold weather doesn’t materialise.

And that leaves reliable forecasters, like the Exeter-based Met Office, frustrated as people ignore weather warnings designed to help them prepare for floods, high winds, snow and heat.

And it leaves the UK a laughing stock among Europeans as we fail to cope with just a few inches of snow.

Having written this column, better prepare myself for a hike through a blizzard into the office today.

Now, where did I stash my crampons?

Clinical trial joy after halting breast cancer CHARLOTTE TURNER Health Reporter

charlotte.turner@plymouthherald.co.uk

A WOMAN who underwent a clinical trial to eradicate her breast cancer said she’d go through it again “in a heartbeat” rather than taking the conventional route of surgery and therapies.

Annette Richards praised the trial she was put on at Derriford Hospital, which involved her having to take a regular tablet to shrink her tumour. As a result, she had only a small part of her breast tissue removed, rather than losing a whole breast in a mastectomy.

Annette was 58 when she came across a small “pea sized” lump in her breast after getting out of the shower.

She was referred to Derriford Hospital less than two weeks after seeing her GP in 2015, and was offered the usual options of immediate surgery or radiotherapy.

But another route was suggested – to take part in a clinical trial which would mean taking a drug being piloted to shrink tumours and reduce the impact of surgery.

Annette said it was a “complete no-brainer” for her to try it and, after 18 months, she was given the all-clear.

“I think the main reason for wanting to delay breast surgery and take part in the trial was because of the potential outcome,” said Annette, who lives in Bude.

“Knowing how it could help me, primarily by reducing the size of the tumour, [meant] not having to have such a big operation. This alternative was going to be so much better for me. Honestly, why wouldn’t you do it?

“I started the treatment in February 2016. It involved taking a pill in three cycles – two weeks on, two weeks off. I was done by the end of April. During that time I had to have weekly blood tests, so that they could keep an eye on me. Luckily my local GP surgery had a great relationship with the hospital – they are really supportive of you going on a clinical trial – which meant that I could have the blood tests done there, and saved me from having to travel to Plymouth each time.

“I did have to have several mammograms and biopsies too, but you just have to accept that it’s all part of the process, and that it will take up some of your time.

I saw various doctors and nurses at the Primrose Breast Clinic but I had a designated research nurse allocated to me for

the clinical trial bit and she soon became my new ‘bestie’.

“Surprisingly, they allowed my husband and I go on a week-long cruise in the Canaries, even though it was in March and the middle of the trial. It was amazing how supportive they were about us going. Doing something special is so very important.

“At the end of the trial, my tumour had ‘significantly’ reduced in size, and all through the taking of a tablet. It meant I could just have a lumpectomy, instead of a full mastectomy. The surgery was done as a day case in May. Two weeks later we went on holiday to Turkey.

“I did still have radiotherapy afterwards – the ‘belt and braces’ approach – just to be sure it had all gone. I was then given the final allclear, nearly a year later in June 2017. I’ve not looked back since.”

Annette has just returned from a cruise in the Caribbean and hopes to have follow-up plastic surgery at Derriford Hospital next month.

Dusty work clothes blamed for asbestos disease Herbert Tookey, who died in 1997. His wife Elizabeth has contracted mesothelioma RACHAEL DODD Herald Reporter

rachael.dodd@plymouthherald.co.uk

A PLYMOUTH woman is appealing for information after being diagnosed with a terminal asbestos-related disease believed to have been caused by washing her husband’s dusty work clothes in the 1960s.

Elizabeth Tookey (known as Mary), a mother of three and a devoted grandmother and great-grandmother, was diagnosed with mesothelioma in February 2017 after suffering from breathlessness for some time.

Her late husband, Herbert Tookey (known as Herbie) who passed away in 1997, was a carpenter at Dudley Coles in Plymouth between 1965 and 1967.

During this time, Herbie would come home from a hard days’ work covered head to toe in dust. Mary would wash his work clothes every day and it is believed that doing this exposed her to the dangerous asbestos fibres.

Dudley Coles was a well known business within the Plymouth area, undertaking large contracts for the Council, including the construction of the Devonport tower blocks in 1964.

Herbie left Dudley Coles in 1967 when he decided to move the family to Australia.

In 1973, they returned to the UK, settling once more in Devon.

Mary is trying to locate her husband’s former colleagues from Dudley Coles during the period he worked there from

Jail break fundraiser put on ice EVEN determined ‘criminals’ are finding the cold weather too much. A group who were planning a jail break today have put the whole thing on ice – because of the snow.

But the JailBreak, which will see a group of local business people thrown behind bars until they can raise the bail for their release, will now be held on April 17.

The group, including a local estate agent and a solicitor will be ‘locked up’ in the austere old cells at Devonport Guildhall.

The Draconian sounding punishment will be raising money for Children’s Hospice South West (CHSW).

This will be the third Jail and Bail event that CHSW has held to raise funds for its Little Harbour children’s hospice.

The charity will be arresting, charging and putting on trial some well-known business people in the area who, if found guilty of their entirely fictitious crimes, will have to raise a bail of £999 each to be set free.

The scene at Maker Heights in the Random Arms, below left, Pete Dunstone strong sense of belonging that they feel here. Rural-coastal areas are at risk of experiencing a type of ‘youth drought’ because housing is expensive and hard to find, and there are very few jobs, so they migrate to cities to find work, creativity and live music. “Maker is important to many young people so they stay living here, or come back frequently, and, because of this, our area is an amazing place to live. “Another key finding is the importance of inter-generationality.

We have a very strong mix of all ages at our community events. I cannot overstate the socio-cultural value and intense sense of belonging that Maker has for people.�

Simon Dobson, conductor and composer, who won two British Composer of the Year awards (awarded by BASCA) in 2012, also a member of Bad Core Horns and Antimatador, is a resident of Millbrook and calls Maker his home. He is passionate about retaining The Energy Rooms at Maker: “There’s a really warm positive momentum up at Maker – lots of musicians recording and making music and loads of brilliant artists... it’s the centre of our creative lives.�

Musician Elani continues, “It doesn’t matter who you are, how old you are, where you come from, if you’re a professional musician who works loads or if you’ve only played the guitar once in your life. If you’ve got good things to bring people you’re welcome at Maker. I can’t think of anywhere more creatively charged and more welcoming for

everybody. It’s a special place.�

It can also heal rifts in a divided community: “It brings the smaller community together,� says Jenny Fox. “Yo u ’ve got Kingsand, Cawsand, St John, Torpoint, Whitsand. When we were growing up there was always a divide between Cawsand and Millbrook that had been going on for years.

But at Maker, it doesn’t matter where you live, it brings everybody together.�

Josh Elleschild explains how music club at Maker was a head start for what would become his musical career.

He said: “Just playing with my friends, to our friends, which led up to holding the stage for members of the public and my first performances as a musician. “That led me to study in Plymouth at DBS and then progress to Leeds College of Music. If it wasn’t for that platform, who knows where I’d be right now.�

Musician Jake Calladine even wrote his university dissertation on Maker. He says: “The elder generation here were just so helpful to us, they taught us how to write songs, it was the first place I played actually, we were really nervous, but everybody here was just so supportive.�

He continues, “What would life be like without Maker? Well, it would probably be pretty boring because it made me into a musician, it gave me a purpose, this has been my creative hub, and so many peoples’ creative hub.

pharmacist – and to make the pharmacy their first point of call.

We talk to pharmacist Anshu Bhimbat about how your local LloydsPharmacy can support you when trying to quit smoking:

When someone comes in to pharmacy to stop smoking we recognise how challenging it can be and have a range of ideas to help along the way, including e-cigarettes, patches, gums, inhalators, lozenges; it’s about finding the right product for you.

If the right option for you, e-cigarettes are considered to be less harmful than cigarette smoking as they don’t include tobacco, which contains carcinogens and toxins which can be detrimental to your health.

Q

What happens to the body as soon as someone stops smoking?

A

The positive effects and benefits on your health are noticeable almost immediately.

Around 20 minutes after stopping smoking you will notice an improvement in your circulation, and your blood pressure will return to normal. After 72 hours you’ll notice an improvement in your breathing as your lung function will improve.** When someone stops smoking there might be some initial sideeffects. Side-effects could include mood changes, such as irritability and nicotine cravings. Nictone is highly addictive and most side-effects should subside once your body has adjusted to being smoke-free.

Pupils help residents share their memories RESIDENTS at a care home in Plymouth enjoyed taking a trip down memory lane with a visit from youngsters from nearby St Budeaux Foundation School.

Eight pupils met up with four people who live at Freshfields as part of the Archie Project, a scheme that links local schools with people with dementia.

The ‘Life Stories’ project involves children asking residents questions about their life, including favourite holidays, fashion, and former beloved pets.

Dog lover Elizabeth Bessant, 73, relived happy memories of her cherished ‘Westie’ dogs and the companionship they provided.

She also told the girls about her favourite childhood destination, Looe in Cornwall, where she and her family used to go on trips.

“This is the third year that St Budeaux children have been coming here and our residents get so much out of it,” said Freshfields’ activities co-ordinator Paul Hutt.

“The ‘Life Stories’ project enables the individuals who

Elizabeth Bessant (centre) with teacher Carin Thompson and two Year 4 pupils, from left, Paiton Newton and Miley Porritt

live here to reminisce about days-gone-by and relive happy memories.

“Their stories really seem to strike a chord with the youngsters – there is a real connection and it really brightens up our residents’ days.”

St Budeaux head teacher Cathy Drage said the visits provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to interact and connect with a different generation.

“Our young people get so much from their visits to Freshfields. They are always fascinated to hear residents’ stories about their younger days.

“Young and old lead increasingly segregated lives these days and coming together like this is an excellent way of raising awareness.”

Freshfields in Agaton Road, Plymouth, is a specialist 36bed dementia care facility overlooks the Tamar Estuary.

The Archie Project is a project created to provide links to reduce the stigma and fears associated with the word dementia.

Homeless man propositioned women for sex STUART ABEL

Court Reporter sabel@plymouthherald.co.uk

A HOMELESS alcoholic groped a woman in a bakery and offered to make love to her if she bought food for him, a court heard.

Drunken Michael Stock, aged 54, grabbed the customer’s breast over her clothing in Friary Mill in the city centre. He later grabbed a passer-by by the arm and suggested she perform an indecent act on him, Plymouth Crown Court heard.

Judge Ian Lawrie jailed him for nine months.

Stock, of no fixed address, pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting a woman on October 4 last year.

He denied sexually assaulting the other woman two days later but admitted the alternative offence of causing a public nuisance.

Emmi Wilson, for the Crown Prosecution Service,

said the pleas were acceptable and no trial was needed.

Stock appeared in custody after failing to attend court for the earlier hearing.

She said Stock begged the 40-year-old woman for food in the bakery at about 3.15pm.

Miss Wilson said she told him she did not have any money.

She added Stock then wrapped his arms around her and grabbed her breast.

The barrister said: “He told her that if she bought food for him he would make love to her.”

The woman shrugged him off and called police.

She said that drunken Stock was sitting on a bench in Notte Street on October 6.

Miss Wilson added that he grabbed a passing 34-year-old woman by the crook of the arm and asked her to perform a sex act on him. The barrister said she walked away and called the police.

The court heard that Stock

had 30 previous convictions for 54 offences, mainly for dishonesty and violence.

Barry White, for Stock, said that his client had been sleeping rough for more than four years, dividing his time between Plymouth and his native Bristol.

He added: “This is a man who clearly has quite significant learning difficulties. He obviously needs to live in some form of supported accommodation.

“Custody is just not the place for this man.”

Mr White said the defendant drank every day to cope with life on the streets.

The court heard Stock failed to comply with probation supervision for a previous offence in Bristol.

Judge Lawrie said Stock “had not helped himself”.

He added: “He poses a risk, not the worst risk perhaps, but a risk which cannot be ignored.”

Saltash and District Royal British Legion

AS PART of The Royal British Legion’s national “Thank You” Campaign, the Saltash and District branch are having a WW1 Centenary Grand Prize Draw.

Tickets will be sold throughout Saltash during the next few months with the draw taking place on Sunday, July 22, during the WW1 Centenary Commemorative RWindband Concert at Saltash Social Club.

Tickets will be available from the middle of March on the RBL table at the monthly table top sales in Wesley Church, at the Saltash Mayfair, Saltash Regatta, from Piglets and the Saltash Pop-up Craft Shop.

T HAS been a very busy time for the campaign with the hosting of a Sustainable Transport Conference at Plymouth University in January when about 100 people attended from across our region and had their opportunity to put their views forward to Gary Streeter MP and representatives of SUSTRANS, Plymouth City Council, Plymouth Cycling Campaign and IAM Roadsmart.

As one can imagine things got very lively at times which simply illustrates the depth of feeling there is on the issue of cycling.

Two of the many points raised were that

RUN entirely by volunteers, the monthly table top sale takes place this weekend, tomorrow, March 3 open to all from 10am until 1pm.

Refreshments are served in a warm and friendly atmosphere at the event held in St Mary’s Parish Centre, Market Road.

Plym Ramblers

OVER the past few weeks Plym Ramblers have enjoyed several walks in the area and have been fortunate to pick days when the weather was fine. However, we did encounter quite a bit of mud.

Our walk on February 4 started from Aveton Gifford and was a trip to Bigbury, returning along the Avon estuary. This was a great walk of five miles led by Pam Kingsland with 24 members. Following this we did a seven mile snowdrop walk, starting in Dartington, again in good weather, but we did encounter some muddy conditions. In fact we spent so much time looking where we put our feet, we almost missed the snowdrops.

Our mini walk of three miles along the Plymouth waterfront had to be abandoned this month, which was a rare occurrence. The high winds and lashing rain resulted in a sensible retreat to a local cafe.

The final walk of the month was a five mile circular walk from Yealmpton. Led by Carol, it took in the river and fields surrounding Yealmpton and again included snowdrops.

Plym ramblers are well known for having a good social programme, as well as regular walks, and last Saturday the club participated in an entertaining quiz night. Over 40 members attended and enjoyed Laurence Axworthy’s audio visual quiz show.

In March we will be looking forward to a skittles evening with food at the Westward Inn. Our new book “On the Beaten Track 4” is selling well. It features 25 walks within 20 miles of Plymouth and all the proceeds go to local charities. For just £6 it’s yours! For details about obtaining the book and our programme go to www.plymramblers.com

So please Saltash help us to say ‘Thank You’ to the First World War generation who helped to shape our world as we know it today.

Plymouth Cycling Campaign

Civil rights leader Martin Luther King was the subject of a talk

by Professor Brian Ward, left Plymouth City Council should have a policy encouraging people to cycle especially to work or their place of study. Once there, cyclists need safe storage for their bikes and somewhere to wash or shower. There are 12 or 13 lockers and showers at the Roborough Park and Ride and although this facility is very welcome most cyclists wish to end their rides at their final destination. There can be no doubt that cycling greatly improves ones state of wellbeing and health in general.

If we cycle on the roads in Plymouth we naturally want to feel safe and this is patently not the case with the road layout at Stanborough Cross or at the Deep Lane junction where the layouts appear to suppress cycling. The campaign is very concerned that health and safety audits by traffic engineers are not identifying the needs of cycling and the campaign will be agitating for change.

Historical Association FEBRUARY was very much dedicated to ‘Luther’ when Professor Peter Marshall, University of Warwick, challenged our perceptions of how the Protestant Reformation began suggesting that Martin Luther did not nail his 95 thesis or written challenges against indulgences etc to the church door thus creating this iconic image we associate with the Reformation.

The second lecture in February moved to the 1960’s when Martin Luther King chose to visit Newcastle-Upon-Tyne University to receive an Honorary Doctorate. Professor Brian Ward (pictured) suggested that in some ways it would never have happened if King had not fallen out of favour with President L B Johnson because of his anti-war stance and

secondly, he was not radical enough according to his fellow Civil Rights activists.

Both talks were interesting, thoughtprovoking and generated a lot of questions. In March HA talks focus on Vietnam and its two wars and how they originated and tragically escalated. Please note Professor Martin Thomas from Exeter University starts at 7.30pm March 6, and on March 20 Professor John Walter, University of Essex, takes us back to the eve of the English Civil War looking at crowds, oaths, petitions and popular politics.

Two great talks at the Roland Levinsky Building Plymouth University. More details available on the HA website www.haplymouth.org.uk

Doggie day out for Golden Retrievers was huge success THE Cornwall & Devon Golden Retrievers Group from Facebook have a get together now and again throughout the year, but the meetiing on the Sunday nearest to Valentine’s Day is often the best attended.

Mrs Mattos said: “Lorraine Johnston, who runs Irish Retriever Rescue, tells me

that it costs £650 to save one dog, whether that dog be abandoned, mistreated or handed into the pound.

“To think that by having such a wonderful day on the beach together, we have given one dog a future it would never have had brings a tear to the old eye.”

Dark forces gather in hair-raising thriller P Has Matilda’s only chance of solving the mystery of who she is died along with Meredith, above?

SOAP watch Your guide to all the drama in the Square, on the cobbles and in the Dales

ERHAPS it’s the distracting, choppy fringe or maybe it’s the scary weirdo in the woods, but this has certainly been an odd series so far.

“That weirdo could be my dad,” exclaimed Matilda (Lydia Wilson), who has been on a mission to uncover the mystery of the missing girl Carys – who may or may not be her.

And indeed, the cloaked, hooded fellow, who wanders the woods like a fairy tale villain, makes a reappearance in tonight’s episode. He tries to offer Matilda an explanation for what she is experiencing.

Grace and Will with their pals Larry and Joe WILL & GRACE Channel 5, 10pm This newly rebooted sitcom may have received complaints for “going political”, but the odd swipe at Fox News or President Trump seems fair to me. It is your weekly dose of pure unadulterated joy.

In this instalment, Jerry Levine and Tim Bagley appear as Will and Grace’s friends Joe and Larry, who won’t stop showing off baby photos of their daughter Hannah.

“Pretending to care about something when you want to kill yourself is what a human being does,” says Grace (Debra Messing). But with Hannah now off to college, Larry is sad and Grace offers him a job to distract him. A little too nice, thinks Will (Eric McCormack), especially as Larry’s only office skills are crying and scrapbooking.

Watch out for a scene where the innuendo and misunderstanding gets so out of hand, you’ll be amazed the cast doesn’t burst out laughing.

Where can Matilda turn for help now?

Also, Matilda has woken up with a nasty mark around her neck. A mark that is very similar to the one her mother

Emmerdale ITV, 7pm Hilarious scenes tonight in one of the most awkward moments of all time.

A flirty Pollard and Faith head into the sitting room, but unbeknown to them, Red faces all round Cain and Moira are getting it on on the sofa. Everyone is absolutely horrified to discover each other.

It’s less amusing elsewhere as Victoria confides in Robert and Aaron that Rebecca is struggling to cope, Priya is wracked with guilt, and Jai is shocked when he finds Eliza covered in bruises.

had when she died. The work of a supernatural presence perhaps?

Plus she keeps having blackouts and has no recollection of what happens.

This is all very confusing, although we are still hoping that we are meant to be confused.

Expect lots of scary moments, gasps and jumps, and in this episode some actual flying objects.

It’s like Harry Potter meets The X Files meets Broadchurch. We have no idea what’s going on, but we watch, we wait, we stay away from hot beverages, and hope it will all come together in the end.

EASTENDERS BBC1, 8pm After catching Aidan playing with Ollie, everything took an even more sinister turn, with Linda finally deciding to call the police.

But was that the Was it the right move? best decision, or will the Carters regret their actions?

Meanwhile, Kim discovers the DNA results letter and waits for Denise to open it. And elsewhere, there’s the ongoing case of the box hidden in the coffin, with Keanu terrified that Jay will find it. Can he get it back without getting caught?

THE LAST LEG Channel 4, 10pm Watching this enjoyable topical show, you get the feeling that the hosts make this whatever they want it to be every week. Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdecombe, pictured, lurch from comedy to hard news to political comment to sporting coverage, depending on whatever has been happening during the week.

If they want to take a pop at President Trump (or a million other political figures), they will happily do so. There has also been coverage of the Winter Paralympics and a steady stream of celebrity guests.

Rather than desperately trying to fit into one mould, it just goes with the flow, resulting in something sharp and funny.

In this show, Line of Duty and Broadchurch star Vicky McClure and writer, actor, comedian Tom Davis are welcomed into the Last Leg fold.

CORONATION STREET ITV, 7.30pm and 8.30pm Poor Zeedan, he still loves Rana, even though Rana has revealed that she’s in love with someone else – a woman. Leanne provides a shoulder Leanne comforts Zeedan to cry on tonight, but watch out for an awkward scene between the pair. Meanwhile, Craig is worried for Bethany as she gets ready for her court case, and the stress sends his OCD into overdrive.

Elsewhere, with Billy still missing, Geraldine calls at Eileen’s to see Summer, but Eileen sends her packing.

any of the big hitters in the business of building mobile phones congregated in Barcelona this week for the Mobile World Conference. The trade fair traditionally sees the big reveal of new models from many makers (except Apple, of course. It has its own way of doing things).

This year was no exception, and we saw new flagship phones from Sony, Nokia, and the behemoth that is Samsung – the biggest mobile maker in the world.

It announced its new Galaxy S9 and S9+ phones to the world, and stole many of the headlines.

Here’s a round up of the three biggest reveals from Barcelona.

Sony’s new Xperia XZ2

Samsung Galaxy S9 has some Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ interesting new camera features Samsung sells more mobile phones than anyone else on the planet, owning 22% of the global market in 2016 – this despite shipping a model that year which had a tendency to catch fire. So it must be doing something right.

Last year’s Galaxy S8 and S8+ got the company back on track, with their distinctive curved screens (the so-called ‘infinity display’), which gave the appearance of sliding around the edges of the devices.

With the success of those phones, it should come as no surprise that the S8’s successors look very similar indeed.

Both S9s have that same display, the only obvious differences being bezels round the edges that stand out less.

Spec-wise the two new models are similar and the only real difference is in the rear cameras.

The bigger phone has two (wide and tele), while the smaller has one (wide).

What they share is that they both sport a mechanically adjustable aperture – a first in a mobile phone.

The aperture essentially is the hole through which light passes to the sensor. And the S9s have two settings - f/1.5 and f/2.4.

This, Samsung says, allows for Software-wise Samsung the fast, wider setting has decided to ape Apple and (f/1.5) to be used in low introduce the ability to control light, and the slower an animated on-screen setting to switch in when character with your own facial light is bright to avoid expressions – the new AR blown-out highlights in Emojis are not animals as on the your photos. It’s an iPhone X, however, but a 3D interesting move, and a rendering of your own head, feature that gives these which you capture using the phones a USP. phone’s front camera.

The only other major It’s all somewhat underdesign changes over the whelming, but that’s no bad thing.

S8 is that Samsung has Samsung will sell a lot of these wisely decided to move phones. the fingerprint sensor on Oh, and both still sport a the back of the phone headphone jack.

No official release date has been given, but we’ll have to wait less than a month according to Sony. Prices will also be forthcoming soon.

they were running on a desktop computer. The new docking station is extra-clever as it allows you to use the surface of your phone as a trackpad to control apps on the big screen.

The phones will ship on March 8, and start at £869 for the S9+ and £739 for the S9. You can order now.

Sony Xperia XZ2 & XZ2 Compact The XZ1 phones only came out six months ago, but Sony chose to reveal radically updated versions of its star phones this week.

Gone are the angular corners of the old, and in come curves and a beautiful glass back (at least on the bigger of the two versions of the phone – the smaller one sticks with plastic).

To-do apps have loomed large on these pages, and with good reason. There are an awful lot of them.

Habitica is one. It takes a mundane premise (getting things done), and tries to turn it into a game.

There are many such apps, and for a lot of them, the gaming element is a gimmick that doesn’t stick. But Habitica has a secret weapon – it’s social.

So while you can play on your own – finishing

These phones are solid if unremarkable, and move closer to the kind of simplicity of design now favoured by Apple and Samsung – which are now shipping all-screen phones as their standard.

The XZ2 is not quite all-screen, and still sports a top and bottom bezel. But it’s a step in the right direction.

The two stand-out features are some Sony magic in the software which upscales low-resolution video to look better in the phone’s exceptional screen, and a weird “dynamic vibration system” which monitors the video you are

Tackle a group of

Nokia 3310 and 8 Sirocco Nokia might be more or less a new company these days, but it has no worries about trading on its name’s illustrious past.

Last year saw it resurrect the fabulously successful 3310 model (with an all-new design).

That must have gone well because this year it’s doing it again, bringing back a version of the curved 8110 phone with the sliding front panel.

Although not as popular as the 3310, the 8110 is fondly remembered as it had a starring role in The Matrix films – Keanu Reeves was seen using one in the trilogy.

Anyway, it’s not the same phone, but it has the same name and takes some design cues from the original.

Specs are underwhelming (even though it is a 4G phone and has a limited number of apps available for it, including Facebook), but you would not be buying this phone for cutting-edge tech.

It’ll cost £69 and you can register your interest at Nokia’s website.

Nokia also revealed a new high-end phone – the 8 Sirocco, which looks very much like any other smartphone out there, but has two distinguishing features.

Firstly, it’s very strong – carved out of a single piece of stainless steel.

Secondly, it runs out-of-thebox Android 8 Oreo without any of the manufacturers’ ‘skins’ that modify (and ruin) Google’s fabulously simple yet immensely powerful OS. It’ll cost £659 when it hits the shops in April. tasks with a team, then you’ll find yourself on a quest.

And unlike other apps, achieving things in game, means you’ve achieved something in the real world too.

Rugby

Albion hoping to build on recent wins with strong home display PLYMOUTH Albion are at home this Saturday, March 3, to tenth-placed Rosslyn Park in National League One (KO 3pm).

Kieran Hallett’s side will be looking to build on their recent successes against second-placed Darlington Mowden Park and seventh-placed Birmingham Moseley.

Albion staged an impressive comeback against Moseley at Billesley Common last Saturday, overturning a 16-5 deficit to win the fixture in some style, 16-20.

The performance was all the more remarkable because of injuries sustained to key players during the game, including back row Sam Daly and fly-half Harvey Skinner.

Daly eventually returned to the field with his knee heavily bandaged but Skinner’s ankle injury forced a backs re-shuffle, with centre Dean Squire taking on number 10 duties.

Head coach Kieran Hallett recalled: “In the first ten minutes we played all the rugby and had chances to score. We converted one and got held up over the line a couple of times but we were all over them.

“Then the wheels started to fall off!

We didn’t agree with the referee at scrum time and that led to frustration. Then we lost Harvey about 20 minutes in, and when you lose your fly-half with no other recognised 10 in the squad, the game plan goes out of the window.

“We had to adapt and find a way to win, and that’s what we did.”

Hallett was delighted with his team’s response after the first half: “Everyone stayed calm and there was real clarity about what we needed to do to win.

“In the second half, while it took us ten or 15 minutes to find our feet, from that point on there was almost an air of inevitability about it.”

Hallett was quick to praise dualregistered Exeter centre Tom Hendrickson, who not only scored both his team’s second half tries but also made a last gasp tackle to curtail a Mosely counter-attack: “His tackle at the end was probably most valuable. His two tries were good as he picked out the weak defender, but they came off the back of some excellent team play.

“Tom managed to make that tackle but three or four players were all chasing hard.

“I may have been close to a heart attack at that point, We are at home back line who having worked so have played where we are hard to get us back premiership more in that position! rugby.

Up front “I would have comfortable and they have had liked us to have got we fully expect to their difficulties the bonus point but but it is another win we will take that win in tough game. the circumstances.”

“That said, we are at While Rosslyn Park have home where we are more lost four of their last five fixtures, comfortable and we fully Albion needed a last-minute try to achieve 26-26 draw when the two expect to win.”

The visitors will meet an Albion sides met at Priory Lane in Novemcamp full of confidence after backber.

Hallett says the London club are to-back positive performances not to be underestimated: “They against quality sides.

massive for us. There are a few sore bodies starting to mount up that we will have to manage but that has been the case ever since we had the games called off. We knew it was coming but at this point of the season it doesn’t worry me too much.

“Our understanding of what we are trying to do is still there, as was evident by the position changes at the weekend, so if we have to adapt our training it is not the end of the world.”

■ Plymouth Albion team to face Rosslyn Park at Brickfields on Saturday, March 3, KO 3pm.

Squad news HERBIE Stupple remains unavailable for selection and there are further changes in the pack as Hallett has decided to rest 20-year-old back row Sam Daly.

Head coach Kieran Hallett said: “Sam has put his body through the wringer recently so we are giving him a week off.

“George Mills has played very well the last couple of weeks having been frustrated after missing out for a while and we have him in at his recognised position of seven, while Eoghan Grace is also avail-

able.” Second row Dan Swain also impressed at Moseley: “I thought Dan added a really big impact off the bench so we have got options there to juggle things.”

DARREN DRYSDALE (Lincolnshire) HAS shown 97 yellow cards and sentoff five players in 36 games this season.

His most recent match was Bury’s 2-1 home League One win against Gillingham last Saturday.

Drysdale has been an EFL referee since the start of the 2004/05 season.

He has taken charge of Argyle on several occasions, with the last time coming when they drew 1-1 away to Luton Town in February 2017.

Robbie Stephenson/JMP

PLYMOUTH Argyle are preparing as though their League One game against Rochdale at Spotland on Saturday will beat the snow and ice.

The Pilgrims’ squad reported to a bitterly cold Home Park as usual at 9am on Thursday for training.

However, because of the wintry weather, manager Derek Adams took his players to the Life Centre for their session.

Training on Tuesday was held on the 3G pitch at Plymouth Marjon University.

The Argyle squad are scheduled to leave for their 300-mile coach trip to Rochdale at 12 noon on Friday.

Protective covers have been on the pitch at Spotland as the winter freeze has set in.

Temperatures in Rochdale, though, are not forecast to rise higher than one degree centi-

grade between now and 3pm on Saturday.

Adams said: “We are just preparing as usual. They have got the ground sheets down at Rochdale.

“It just depends on what the temperature is like over the next

two nights. Hopefully the game will go ahead.

“We will leave at 12 o’clock tomorrow (Friday) but we will obviously be guided as well by the authorities if it is safe to travel or not.

“It might be that they decide the game is off because of that,

other than the pitch,” added the Pilgrims’ boss.

Rochdale recently laid a new pitch at Spotland ahead of their FA Cup clash against Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the condition of the playing surface might not be the only factor as to whether the game against Argyle goes ahead.

Adams said: “The pitch protection only provides cover down to I think it is about minus three degrees.

“So anything below that, you have got a problem and the temperature is below that.

“It’s going to be travel arrangements as well, not just for the team for the supporters as well that is going to bring things into perspective.”

He added: “It might even be taken out of the EFL’s hands.

“The police might come into play there and advise them that it’s not good for people travelling because of the weather conditions.”

IAN HENDERSON (Striker) IF ROCHDALE are to escape relegation from League One they will rely heavily on the experience – and goals – of their captain Ian Henderson.

The 33-year-old has already netted 15 times this season, with seven of the goals coming in Dale’s superb FA Cup run.

It was Henderson who opened the scoring when Rochdale took on Tottenham Hotspur in a televised fifth round tie at Spotland.

Henderson calmly slotted past ‘keeper Michel Vorm on the stroke of half-time to stun the Premier League visitors.

The match eventually ended in a 22 draw, with Henderson leading out Rochdale for the replay at Wembley on Wednesday night, which Spurs won 6-1.

Henderson, who can also play up front or in midfield, signed for Rochdale in 2013 after leaving Colchester United.

Since then he has gone on to score 72 league goals in 203 starts and six substitute appearances and been an excellent servant to the club.

OSCAR THRELKELD will come up against one of his former youth team coaches when Plymouth Argyle meet Rochdale at Spotland.

Rochdale manager Keith Hill, the former Pilgrims’ defender, had a spell working with Threlkeld when he came through the academy ranks at Bolton Wanderers.

Threlkeld, 23, has now established himself as the regular right-back for Argyle as they chase a League One play-off place.

Hill is in his second spell as manager of Rochdale and has worked wonders at the club despite a limited budget.

Threlkeld said: “I know Keith Hill.

He used to manage me when I was in the under-12s and under-13s at Bolton Wanderers. We know each other well.”

Hill, 48, now faces the task of trying to lead Rochdale to League One safety after their FA Cup adventure came to an end on Wednesday night.

Rochdale were beaten 6-1 by Tottenham Hotspur in a fifth round replay at Wembley, after drawing 2-2 with the Premier League side on home turf.

Threlkeld was born in Bolton, which is not far to the west of Rochdale, and spent a number of years at his hometown club.

However, he has only played at Spotland once before, in a pre-season game.

Threlkeld said: “I was at Bolton, coming through. I think Dougie Freedman was the manager then and he put me number 10 for five minutes.

“I had one opportunity which I

could have scored but I scuffed it and that’s why I’m a right-back!”

Threlkeld missed much of the first half of this season because of a lower leg injury.

He returned to first team duty in December and the Pilgrims have been on an incredible run of results since then.

Argyle have won 11 and drawn three of the last 15 games to go from

Enduring the cold is in Threlkeld’s blood OSCAR THRELKELD might have Norwegian ancestry in his family history but he has still been shivering along with everyone else in Plymouth this week.

Argyle’s right-back was born and bred in the Lancastrian town of Bolton, too, so he should be used to cold winter weather.

The 23-year-old met the media at a sub-zero Home Park on Thursday morning.

Not surprisingly, the conversation turned to the freezing conditions and the origin of the name Threlkeld cropped up.

“I think it’s Norwegian,” said the Bolton Wanderers academy product.

“I’m not sure how far back it goes. I have not really looked into it but that’s what my Dad says.”

As far as playing in bitterly cold weather is concerned, Threlkeld has only one problem with that.

“On Saturdays you don’t really notice it, apart from your ears,” he said. “If you have got big ears like me then you can catch everything!”

He added: “You don’t really feel it in training sessions.

That’s how training is – you have got to cope with it.

“If you can’t cope with it then you are in the wrong job.”

bottom of the table to sixth position.

Threlkeld said: “It’s unbelievable, from the position that we were in in November-December.

“That’s how football is. We have been playing well and have deserved our wins.

“We are in a great position. The club is on a high, I think the town is on a high, and we are on a high.”

Argyle are on 53 points with 11

games to go, which has already virtually assured their League One status for 2018/19.

However, Threlkeld does not share the view that anything else the Pilgrims achieve this term is a bonus.

He said: “If we were in between the top half and the bottom half, maybe that would be the case.

“But now we are in a play-off place, we are looking to get in there, or even higher if possible.”

DEREK ADAMS does not believe Rochdale will be affected by any fatigue when they host his Plymouth Argyle side at Spotland on Saturday.

Rochdale played their televised FA Cup fifth round replay against Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley on Wednesday night.

The bottom-of-thetable League One team held their illustrious opponents to a 1-1 scoreline at half-time.

They were eventually beaten 6-1 and were then faced with a long return journey to Greater Manchester.

However, Adams dismissed the idea that Rochdale would not be ready for the game against Argyle after their midweek adventure.

He said: “They have been away for a few days.

They went down to St George’s Park (the national football centre) and trained there.

“They then went on to London. They will be on a high and their fitness levels looked very good on Wednesday night.”

Rochdale have had only one league win since the end of November, which was a 1-0 victory at Northampton Town on February 3.

Since then they have lost twice and had a 0-0 draw at home to MK Dons, another of the teams threatened by relegation.

IN-FORM TEAM AIMING FOR LONGEST WINNING RUN IN FOURTEEN YEARS CHRIS ERRINGTON Football Editor

PLYMOUTH Argyle will be seeking a seventh consecutive win for the first time since the 2003/04 season when they take on Rochdale at Spotland tomorrow (3pm).

The Pilgrims’ incredible run of results, which have seen them pick up 36 points from the last 15 games, has transformed their campaign.

They have gone from being bottom of the table in December to sixth spot in League One now.

The last time Argyle won seven successive matches was from

November 22, 2003 to January 3, 2004.

That was towards the end of the first managerial reign of Paul Sturrock at Home Park.

It was also the season when Argyle were promoted to the Championship after beating Queens Park Rangers to the title.

The Pilgrims beat Bradford City 10 at Home Park last Saturday to clinch a sixth consecutive victory.

Manager Derek Adams said: “It’s a fantastic run that we are on. We have played top teams in the league.

“We have gone away from home, as well as at home, and performed well.

“It would be a very big achievement for the players and the staff (if Argyle secured a seventh successive win).”

The sequence started with a 2-1 win away to Oldham Athletic on January 27.

On Saturday, only a few miles to the north of Oldham, Argyle will try to pick up maximum points again.

Rochdale are bottom of League One and 11 points adrift of a position of safety.

However, they have played four matches fewer than most of the teams above them in the table.

So there is still a chance for them

to retrieve the difficult situation they are in.

Adams said: “They have got a long way to go in their season. We have got 11 games to go and I think they have got 16.

“So they have still got a lot of points to play for.”

Rochdale have had a terrific adventure in the FA Cup this season, culminating in a trip to Wembley on Wednesday. They earned a replay against Tottenham Hotspur with a 2-2 draw at Spotland.

Manager Keith Hill, the former Argyle defender, took his side to the home of English football and they were drawing 1-1 at half-time.

However, a strong Tottenham side eventually ran out 6-1 winners.

Adams, who was among the watching TV audience, said; “I thought it was a good football match through the snow.

“Rochdale started the game very well but the Premier League side came out on top.

“They are dangerous on the counter attack but it was a difficult match for them because they were up against very good opposition.”

Adams confirmed he has the same squad available to him for the trip to Rochdale as for the victory over Bradford.
