Z-Day (T-minus 5 1/2 hours)
It's hard to describe what's happening here in Tyneside. There's this creeping sense of unease, like we woke up this morning to the world holding it's breath. I'm worried.
I have to go into Newcastle this evening, to meet with friends, and I just - you see. The last time Look North was scheduled to go on? It didn't. Just an empty studio for five minutes. I get the feeling the radio stations have been told to say nothing - as cheery pop music pours out of the speakers.
Something is happening in Tyneside, my friends, and I don't know what it is. And that's scary.
We should've taken that item about an overturned chemical lorry a lot more seriously than we did...
