Well, its Peter here, welcome to todays Levy Letter. Hope your day is going well and that youre looking forward to the weekend. Bonfire night tomorrow night, if youre going to an organised display or if youre having fireworks at home, enjoy and of course be safe. Join me tonight BBC 1 six thirty, theyll be all the days news and Paul will have the all important forecast; the rumours are that its not particularly good for tomorrow night, the 5th of November.
Birthdays Now a few emails in for birthdays. One here that comes from Trish Cummings, Please wish a Happy Birthday to my daughter Tracy in your Levy Letter on Friday. Shell be 38 tomorrow, November 5th, shes been an absolute star throughout the year with her support and care and Id just like to say a big thanks you to her. We watch the programme every night and if you ever want to sell your redundant bread maker then Im your woman, I shall remember that Trish, thank you very much indeed, and Tracy a very happy birthday to you. Hello Peter this is from Trish Jordan, another Trish, Its my birthday on Friday November 4th. Its quite depressing really as its the last one in my fifties, next year I shall be 60. Im sure if I get a mention in your daily Levy letter itll make my day. Trish Jordan, a very happy birthday to you, have a good day. This one is from Sally Turner, will you please wish my daughter Sophie Turner a happy fifteen birthday for the 4th of November. We will ! be going shopping in Lincoln for the day to spend her birthday money. When we return we will relax with a nice cup of tea and watch Look North, a perfect day. Sally youre my sort of woman, thank you very much indeed, and Sally a very happy fifteen birthday, have a good day. Dont forget if youve got a birthday coming up in the near future and you would like a mention in the Levy Letter then get in touch. You can write to me about that, or anything else at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Stress We were talking about stress earlier in the week in the Levy Letter, now there are questionnaires put out to work out how stressed you are. Stress is the silent epidemic sweeping the nation apparently this year. The symptoms: aching shoulders, headaches, upset stomachs, sleepless nights and lacklustre days. The illness is stress and millions of us could be at risk. Thinking about this I probably am! There are ten questions on the questionnaire, Ive done the ten and I came out as B, which is apparently very good. Mostly Bs, congratulations you seem to have a healthy life/work balance, Im not sure that many people around me would agree with that but still. So look out for that ten question survey and try and do it. Calendar Weve had a great week this week with the BBC Children in Need Look North calendar. Theyre available if you want to call into one of our receptions in Hull, Lincoln and Grimsby, theyre £5. If you want to send a cheque drop me a line to BBC Queens Court in Hull and send a cheque made payable to the BBC for £6, a pound to cover the postage. If youve already bought one then thank you very much indeed. Social event of the year Middle of next week in one hotel in Hull the social event of the year I would say, the legendary comedian Eric Sykes will be giving a talk on the same bill as Paul Hudson, can you believe it? One of the funniest men ever in the country, the legendary Eric Sykes is giving a talk back to back with Paul Hudson. Tickets are £25, theyve sold out, just for the sheer novelty value of seeing Paul in distress is why theyve sold so quickly! If youre going, enjoy, do report back if you have a ticket for that literary lunch next week. Pictures Dont forget that Im always on the look out for more pictures for our back projector, the big screen every night on the programme. The more unusual the better and even some comical ones seem to be creeping in these days, as youve probably noticed. If youve got a photograph, either send a hard copy or email it to the usual address. Pay gap I see that women bosses earn a quarter less than their male counter parts, its been revealed. Female executives who reach the top of their profession can expect to earn £17,000 less than their male colleagues doing the same job. A typical male director of a British company is paid £72,000 according to research by the Institute of Directors. A female director though is paid £55,000, I dont suppose too many people would be that surprised at that . Well, thats all from me for today and this week on the Levy Letter. If you know somebody, a friend or a member of your family, who arent signed up for the Levy Letter and you think theyd like one them point them in the direction of the two addresses at the bottom of the page.
