Ill be talking to Elkie, therell be the rest of the days news and of course Paul will be there with the weather, all on BBC1 at 6.30pm!
Thank you for all the emails over the past couple of days. Its been a very busy time indeed. Thank you for those. If you want to drop me a line, of course you can get me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fake Smiles Well, its the art that every celebrity has to master, and thats the art of smiling even if you dont really feel like smiling and faking it! I see there is a survey out a list of the top ten fake smilers in this country. Victoria Beckham is the number one, and at number two is Tony Blair. Apparently, we dont think his smile is genuine. Robert Kilroy Silk is number three, Prince Charles fake smile is at number four and Dale Winton, thats quite a surprise, hes at number five of fake smilers. Retirement Now, taking early retirement is often seen as the key to a long and happy existence freed from the stresses of work. Your health improves, your spirits lift and you can enjoy a carefree life of leisure. Well, thats the theory, but research suggests that quitting the rat race at fifty-five may actually do more harm than good. The study has found that those, who retire at fifty-five are almost twice more likely to die in the next ten years than those who stay at their jobs, experts say. The findings show how work can help you keep healthy and young and also stresses the importance of insuring retirement does not simply signal a life of boredom and loneliness. So there you are, if you want to live longer then carry on working after the age of fifty-five and dont take early retirement! Rude City Whenever there is a tag for something about a city, I always watch very carefully because on recent trends Hull is often in there getting slated for something or other. Theres a survey out for our rudest cities and Birmingham comes out top! Birmingham has just received a far less welcomed claim to fame its the rudest city in the UK. Cities have been voted the rudest in Britain after undercover researchers had been sent in to test the politeness of passers-by. They measured the locals politeness by dropping bags of shopping to see whether anyone would pick them up and listening for whether shop assistants said please or thank you. I think on this one Hull should come out on top for being the friendliest as everyone always says how polite and friendly people are around here. Anyway, Birmingham is the rudest city, number two was Edinburgh, and Exeter was the third, followed by Cardiff, then London and Southampton. No towns or cities in our area were mentioned in that surve! y at all, which was great news for us! RNLI Thanks to everyone who turned out to support the Royal National Lifeboat Institution on Saturday morning. I was in Barton to open an Autumn Fair. Lots of people turned out and I met lots of people who had signed up for the Levy Letter. So thanks to those people who came along and we raised a lot of money for the Royal National Lifeboat Institution, so thank you very much for all your support. And I managed to buy some Christmas cards the first Christmas purchase of the year! Leave it to Levy If youve got any problems or issues that you think we may be able to tackle on the programme and sort out for you, then let me know the details, give me a contact telephone number as well, and just drop me an email and well see what we can do! The address is of course as usual, [EMAIL PROTECTED] And well have another Leave it to Levy this week on the programme, so look out for that. Guests I always like to know who youd like to see on the sofa as a guest on the programme in the evening, so please any suggestion for a guest or indeed a story that youd like us to do, then get in touch with me as soon as possible. Well, thats all from me for today. Enjoy your week and join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm and look out for your Levy Letter tomorrow.
