Hi there, Hope you're having a good day and enjoying the sunshine - though I try not to write about the weather these days. It just gives my diminutive forecasting colleague a chance to ridicule me later on air! Can you believe that grown men behave like that on the television?!!!
I've just been reading another load of suggestions for a new name for Look North. Last night the Deputy Prime Minister and Hull East MP John Prescott came on the show for a chat. He's very busy at the moment of course - running the country while Tony Blair takes his hols. But not too busy to make his own suggestion - how does HUMBER WATCH sound to you? ( Judging by this morning's emails, many of you thought it was a good suggestion ) . As you can imagine, John also had some strong words about the Channel 4 programme which said Hull is the worst place in the country to live. TONIGHT AT 6 30 ============= The voting begins tonight for the name change. We've drawn up a short list of 12. Tonight you can vote on the first six. We'll whittle that down to just two then next week you can vote on the second six - again we'll take the top two and then the week after we'll vote on that final shortlist of four. And I'm very excited because tonight we have a true comedy legend on the programme! Ken Dodd, the master of mirth and the squire of Knotty Ash, will be telling me about his plans for Skegness!! BIG SCREEN IN LINCS ================= If you're in Lincoln, get down to City Square! The BBC have put up a temporary big screen there and every morning this week Radio Lincolnshire's Breakfast Show with William Wright will be broadcast from the screen and ON the screen between 7 and 9 30. Try and get there early one morning to meet William and see the show being broadcast. DOWN THE SNICKET ================ I have always said "snicket" but then I've lived in West Yorkshire since I was 19. Some say "Ginnel" and others just "Alleyway". Last night as part of the BBC "Voices" Project, we started looking for local sayings and phrases. I have had loads sent already. Here are a few: "dooan't yar!!" - don't you do that .according to Joyce it was often said to her as a child. "your pan's leaking" - according to Mags was said in Hessle Road for "you're talking out of your bottom" "having a marjory move-all" - Lorna reckons that means changing around the furniture in a room. REPLY ===== If you want to reply to the LL letter, it's best to write direct rather than just pressing the reply button. I won't bore you with the technical details but its just a lot easier if you want to write to my personal email address which is [EMAIL PROTECTED] PHOTOS ======= I'm still on the look out for pictures for our Children in Need calendar. It is proving very hard to get a picture from the Scunthorpe area. If you have one, then email it to me as soon as you can. I'll let you know when the calendar is ready and I hope you'll buy one and support Children in Need. There will be a picture of me and Paul on it but don't let that put you off! AM I ALONE? ========== I have had several letters recently asking if we could do something on SUDOKU. Its that funny puzzle thing which has started appearing in newspapers and seems to be the latest craze. I have to say that they're far too clever for me ( in fact I don't even know how to pronounce SUDOKO! ) So if you're an expert or fan of the puzzle - help me out and get in touch! YOU THE REPORTER ================= If you have a story which you think we should know about then drop me a line. And don't forget "Leave it to Levy" - the Look North slot where I try to sort out your problems or issues. If you know someone who has a problem at the moment and think the might of Look North could help then do get in touch - assistance could be an email away!! GOSSIP ====== American researchers say that gossip is good for you. That will be great news for many I'm sure ( especially here at Look North! ). It took the researchers 18 months to work out that men gossip more about themselves whereas women prefer to talk about everyone else. You have to wonder who pays for these crazy surveys!! I could have told them that - and charged them a lot less!! B and W ======= I gather there is a rugby game of some importance taking place soon! Just a reminder - Radio Humberside will have the very best coverage of the big game in South Wales this weekend. So if you're a B and W supporter then make sure you're tuned in today and every day to Radio Humberside. That's all for now - don't forget to join me at 6.30 tonight on BBC1.
