Hello its Peter here. Welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well.
Ive just been reading in the paper that Britain is being warned about a harsh winter ahead. The Met office has warned that the gas and electricity suppliers in this country are to be prepared for prolonged cold spells in December and January. I dont think the diminutive weather man told us anything about that! Well thats according to the paper anyway Big freeze may lead to power cuts is the headline. If you live at Victoria Dock of course, which is looking particularly beautiful this morning, its no problem as it doesnt matter how deep the snow is - you can still walk to work. Talking of which, North Bridge is now beautifully gift-wrapped and I think were only a couple of months away from the re-opening, which will be good news for all. Tonight at 6.30pm ================= Join me tonight on the programme for all the days news. Ill be talking to one big TV soap star, who has been in Coronation Street for many years and is in a musical at the moment Annie Get Your Gun! And who is he? Well he played Jim MacDonald in Coronation Street and I shall be talking to the actor who plays Jim tonight on the programme. Emails ====== Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects. Let me just read a couple to you. One from Roy here I especially liked the story about attempting to record the Top 40 show which Alan Freeman used to present on Sundays on Radio One. I used to have the same problem and could never quite manage to record the whole track. How things have changed. In those days we used to have to wrestle with a cassette, these days of course with the iPod, you just plug in and download music. How things have changed. Also talking last week about situation comedies - There was a follow up to Are You Being Served which never quite worked. I couldnt even remember what it was called. Well Martin Storey emails me to say it was called Grace and Favour. Mind you we probably had a million other emails on the subject. Well we didnt actually this was the only one! And finally just one more cheeky email from Julie, saying I wonder if its possible to say hello on your newsletter to my mum. She never misses the show and she would be over the moon to read a mention in the Levy Letter. Can you congratulate her on losing so much weight in these last months. Were all very proud of her and we think it would be a lovely surprise. So lets give a mention in the Levy Letter to Barbara Webster. Well done on losing all that weight. Leslie Hornsby ============== Amazing to read in the paper that Twiggy, the model from the 60s, is looking so glamorous and stunning. She was 56 yesterday and shes looking great in the papers. Whereas the rest of us get older every day! Apart from Anne Robinson of course who seems to get younger every day! Dinners ======= Ive been reading that Britons are so unadventurous in the kitchen that two out of three families stick to the same menus every week. Research has found that in many households, the food on the table can be predicted day by day. Monday, apparently is always Shepherds Pie, Tuesdays its meat pies, Wednesday is sausages and so the list goes on. We only eat foreign food on Saturdays and Sundays we always have a roast dinner. Thats two out of three families eat the same every day of the week. Write To Me =========== Dont forget if you want to drop me a line to do with anything really you can always get me directly, no one else will see it [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also were still looking for problems as well for our Leave it to Levy section. If youve got any problems that you think I might be able to tackle, then send me the details, give me contact number as well and email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Toy Boys ======== I see the proportion of women marrying Toy Boy partners more than eight years their junior has doubled. Can you believe that? It has more than doubled over the past twenty years. Around ten thousand women a year now wed men more than a decade younger a dramatic reversal of the traditional balance between the sexes. The experts say the trend reflects the growing numbers of financially independent career women in powerful positions in the workplace. So there you are! Its alright girls to pick yourself a Toy Boy! Well thats it from me for today. Enjoy your Tuesday and Ill be writing again tomorrow.
