Hi its Peter here, welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter, hope youll be able to join me BBC 1 six thirty. Paul will have the forecast, theyll be all the days news and well be hearing the sound of the Beverley Minster Choir and finding out why they might be loosing some of the women.
Emails Emails on a variety of subjects this morning, so a few things to mention. Dear Peter, I have a theory, about stress, we were talking about stress in the Levy Letter at the end of last week. This one comes from Lesley, Im only 51 tall, I do not stress at all because I work on the theory that people who are taller than me will get stressed well before I do, especially if I hide behind them! Also instead of stressing I use the wasp theorem; wait, absorb and slowly proceed. Lesley says for her it works every time, Lesley thank you very much. A note here from Dave, he says the emergency number 112 is used all over Europe and indeed if you dial 112 in the UK youll get through to the emergency services, its been programmed in on new phone systems over here for a number of years ready for the change over, whenever it takes place. We were talking yesterday about 112 being the new emergency number replacing 999, if Brussels gets their way that is. Some more feed back from something we discussed in the Levy Letter yesterday, Joanna writes in wouldnt it be cheaper to cut down the trees that are close to railway lines, or at least the worst offenders? nice idea Joanna but Im not sure what environmentalist would say about that! Finally a birthday, this one from Chris Gray, he says please could you give a mention for my 21st birthday which is tomorrow, the 8th, in your Levy Letter. Im a student at the University of Lincoln and have been working really hard for the past six weeks and I would be most grateful if you can give me a mention. There we are Chris, all the very best, Happy 21st Birthday today, dont work too hard! Any more students, who get the Levy letter, let me know. Well give the students a call, and maybe Chris you could get some others to sign up at the university. All you need to do is go to one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, click on Levy Letter and follow the instructions through. Remember you can contact me directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED] about anything. One topic for you to get in touch about this week; are you having problems getting access to an NHS dentist, let me know your experiences on that one. Childrens Diet I see that children believe that chips are made from apples, eggs or flour, according to some anyway. One in three youngsters, can you believe this, have no idea of what the main ingredient in their favourite food is, so says new research out today. A worrying 6% of children, aged between eight and fourteen didnt know chips were made from potatoes, despite eating them regularly. Driving Well men are the kings of the road while women struggle with the most basic tasks such as parking, thats what the old jokes would have you believe. But its not true, research has found that women are the safer drivers and its all down to their hormones, they make them significantly better than men at shifting concentration when on the road. Scientists at the University of Bradford looked at how the sexes faired in tests designed to measure skills such as memory, spatial awareness and co-ordination. Some of the questions looked at the ability to switch attention quickly while concentrating. A knack know to be governed by the female hormone oestrogen. So there we are, sorry chaps but women are better on the roads, its official and proven from research, and thats from a university in Yorkshire. Guests Is theres a guest youd like to see on the show? If so, let me know, send me the details of who youd like on, or if you know of anyone coming to the region, or indeed from the region and well see if we can get then on. If you want to email me, its [EMAIL PROTECTED] At the end of last week I was talking to Katherine Jenkins about her new album. Now her album was only released last Monday and its gone straight into number four in the album charts. Well done to Katherine, great album it is as well. Well thats it from me, so far today.
