Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Fridays Levy Letter. I hope your days going well and youre looking forward to the weekend.
Tonight at 6.30pm Join me for all the days news tonight on BBC1 at half past six and the Friday edition of Look North. As Europes largest fair gets underway in Hull, we shall be at Hull Fair tonight. Lisa will have the weather forecast and Ill also be talking to actress Amanda Mealing. Amanda plays Connie in Holby City and has a really juicy story line coming up next week. So well be talking to Amanda tonight about playing a doctor and about living in Lincolnshire. Sleeping We got onto the subject yesterday of snoring and the problems associated with snoring. We had a note here, and Im not going to say the name, because its quite an emotive letter in some ways, but let me just read it to you. I speak from personal experience, sleep apnoea and its symptoms have put a severe strain on my relationship and family life. I was diagnosed with sleep apnoea and am having 33 apnoeas an hour when asleep. This is when I stop breathing 33 times an hour, less than one every two minutes. This destroys your sleep and makes you tired and irritable and depressed. I havent been able to work since November last year and Ive had to surrender my driving licence. People with sleep apnoea are seven times more likely to be in a serious car accident than people who dont suffer from it. My partner has been through hell with me on this one and she has still remained positive. I am receiving absolutely brilliant support from Hull Royal Infirmary and Castle Hill Hospi! tal. The consultant is excellent and the staff are wonderful people. They realise the serious implications of the condition, not just from a personal point of view, but also from a medical point of view. I had quite a few emails on the subject of snoring, but that one, I thought, from Gunness in North Lincolnshire was particularly emotive. My Generation People round about my age, a little above and a little below, remember with affection Pans People. They used to dance on Top of the Pops once a week and Pans People still cause blokes of a certain age to go all misty eyed, even though its thirty years since the troupe, renowned for their cheesy dance routines, hung up their outfits. Well, for the first time, since 1976, four members of the original line-up of Pans People have got together for a TV advert. Its for an energy drink for those who are now over fifty. A little bit too close to home that one! There you are. Pans People make a return. Sudoku I remember we got on to the subject of Sudoku a few weeks back. Well, I see from the paper this morning that it is the quiz thats taken the UK by storm and now Sudoku has won a new honour as word of the year with a future place in the Oxford English Dictionary. And I still see that the papers are running it every day. And judging by the number of emails Ive had on the subject and also for my birthday a friend of mine bought me a Suduko book, its still very much with us.
