Hello its Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. Another beautiful morning. I think this is what they call an Indian Summer! Anyway it will do for me.
Thanks for all the response from yesterday after last nights programme. We talked about the possibility of some of the temporary road works staying in place in Hull when the North Bridge is finally fixed and reopened in November. Huge response on that one and Im sure well be returning to that on the programme at the usual time. And also, after Paul mentioned hed turned down the opportunity to switch on the Christmas Lights in Withernsea due to broadcasting commitments well thats opened the flood gates on emails well have some of those a little later on. Tonight at 6.30pm As well as all the days news tonight, Paul will be here with the weather of course. I shall be talking to the former schools inspector, turned broadcaster and author - Gervase Phinn. So a busy programme tonight, join me at the usual time if you can. Sir Cliff Now I see that Sir Cliff Richard has vowed that hes never going to make another record because of the unofficial ban on his music by radio stations. The 64 year old singer is fed up that there is a boycott over his records. The final straw came in October last year, with the release of his latest album, which is called Somethings Going On. An album hed spent a year making in Nashville. It was well received by the critics, but failed to get any radio play. So thats a little bit sad, but Sir Cliff says that he wont be making any more records but then Ill believe it when I see it! But hes obviously not heard of BBC Radio Humberside, Im sure Radio Lincolnshire play his records as well. I cant speak for Radio Lincolnshire, but Radio Humberside certainly plays Sir Cliff Richards records. Maybe Sir Cliff should make records even if theyre only for Radio Humberside. Anyway your views on that one gratefully received. Banter As you know, just occasionally I will chat with Paul, just occasionally you understand. But from the paper this morning, many bosses say banter is good for business. Many bosses may frown upon it, but it is good for productivity. Humorous exchanges (well that rules me and Paul out then) is a crucial function in binding colleagues together and increasing staff morale. So if anyone tackles me about it, then its official its good for staff morale and good for business. So says a guru in the paper this morning. Leave it to Levy Dont forget. The usual reminder if youve got a problem or issue that youd like me to deal with and take on in Leave it to Levy then tell me the details and what your grievance is or what youre not happy about, give me telephone number as well if youve got one and drop me a line to Queens Court in Hull or if you want to email me direct its [EMAIL PROTECTED] Toy Boy I mentioned the subject of Toy Boys yesterday and the fact that more than ever women are marrying a man who is younger than themselves. Well a lot of emails on this one. But I just wanted to read one out from Chris Will you please give Dave, my husband, a mention. Hes 56 today. Weve nearly been married two years in October. He is my Toy Boy. I am two years older than him! And Dave a very happy birthday, 56 today, have a lovely day! House Prices Britains housing market is showing the clearest signs yet of a revival after months of being stuck in the doldrums. Figures just out suggest that the worst of the slowdown is over and the pickup is just around the corner. Estate agents are reporting that there are more would-be buyers than at any time in the past few years. So if youre trying to sell your house, then thats good news. Guests Thank you very much for all your suggestions on guests that we should get on the red sofa. Keep the suggestions coming in. Top votes are for Bryan Ferry. I mentioned Bryan a few weeks ago. I was telling the story of kitting him out in that white dinner suit for the cover of that classic album Another Time Another Place when I was just 17 years old, possibly 18. Thanks to Ned who managed to find me a picture of that same said album and he emailed it to me. Another Time Another Place a classic Bryan Ferry album. Ned thank you for that one. Keep the suggestions coming in for guests who youd like to see on the programme and well do what we can. Thats it for todays Levy Letter. Have a good Wednesday. Join me tonight at half past six, BBC One and Ill see you tomorrow. Bye.
