Hello, its Peter here. I hope your day is going well and that youll be able to join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm for Tuesdays Look North. Well have all the days news, well have the latest on the Tory leadership battle of course, it should be all sorted out today and Lisa Gallagher will have the forecast. And if youre a fan of Neighbours, then Ill be talking to one of the stars just a little bit later on at 6.30pm as usual!
Write Dont forget if you want to drop me a line about any subject, Ive had emails on a variety of issues, including birthdays and lots of emails for our little whats on spot, then you can get me direct on [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you. Now the first letter comes from June Fitz Gibbon, she says, Would you please publicise Alford Arts Circle and Country Market Christmas Fair, which will be held on Saturday 10 December at St Wilfreds Church Hall, opposite the Co-op in Alford between 10am and 7pm. Therell be a special Christmas raffle in aid of St Wilfreds Church Hall and also an exhibition by local artists. Therell be the usual stalls selling cakes and jewellery and bird tables and plants and craft works. So go along and support St Wilfreds Church in Alford at the Christmas Fair on Saturday 10 December. And just a reminder, this Thursday night at the Street Life museum I shall be one of several people doing a reading at the Christmas Carol Service. Its at the Street Life museum and starts at 7.30pm in Hull on Thursday night. If you can make it along, then Ill be doing a reading, Amy Black will be performing and the evening will be hosted by Blair Jacobs and also John Godber and his wife Jane Thornton will be doing a reading as well. If you can make it along, then its the Street Life museum on Thursday night at 7.30pm. And a note comes in here from Terry Grant, he says, I read with great interest your letter on house prices affected by the title of your road. I was saying yesterday that if you live on a Lane, then thatll mean your house price will be higher, but it wont be so good if youre on a Road or a Drive. We live on a Lane and have the house on the market at the moment. Its a four bedroom detached house for sale at £101 000 and Peter, so much for living on a Lane, it is not selling! So there you are, I dont know where it is, and even if I did, I couldnt do adverts anyway, but a four bedroom detached house is on sale for £101 000, somewhere in our region! So if youve got any more views on selling houses and if you think the address can affect how much money you get for it, then do drop me a line. Calendars Just the usual reminder that the calendars are still on sale for Children In Need. Hopefully, in just a few weeks time, I will be able to announce just how much money weve managed to raise, but theyre still on sale in our receptions in Lincoln, Grimsby and in the Hull Open Centre. Theyre also on sale on our two buses, BBC Radio Lincolnshire bus and BBC Radio Humberside bus as they travel across our region. But if you want to send in a cheque for £6 to cover the postage and packing, then the address to send it to is BBC Look North Calendars, Queens Court, Queens Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. Just make the cheque payable to the BBC and well send a calendar back return of post. Ill look forward to hearing from you. If youve already bought a calendar, then thank you very much indeed. Panto Over the next couple of weeks, well be talking to some of the stars of the pantomimes in our region. Tonights guest from Neighbours is in a pantomime and later this week, now that the Jungle is over, Bobby Ball and Tommy Cannon will be on their way to Hull. Rehearsals started yesterday in Hull, but the duo of course wont be back from Australia until later in the week. By the way, next Thursday, not this Thursday, but the Thursday after will see the start of this years pantomime and I look forward to going to see that one! Christmas Presents If the news gets out, then it could cause a family row around the Christmas tree. Apparently parents spend nearly £100 more on gifts for their sons than for their daughters! The reason that boys are so lucky, well theyre better at pestering than girls. A study has showed that sons receive the lions share of festive gifts with parents spending an average £223 on their sons. That cant be each can it? They tended to want more electronic goods that obviously cost more than girls gifts. This year, the most wanted gifts for boys include the Sony PSP games console and the Roboraptor dinosaur. Daughters on the other hand are receiving gifts costing on average £127, £96 less than their brothers. So there you are, a little bit of inequality in the toy-buying department! Well, thats it from me for today. If you want to comment on anything Ive talked about today or indeed about anything at all, then contact me at the usual address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Before I go, just one quick mention to G4. Of course, one of the members of G4, Matt Stiff, is from Grimsby. Their album has gone straight in the album charts at number 6! Its only been beaten by the likes of Madonna, Robbie Williams and Take That, but G4 is straight in at number 6 in the album charts with their new CD. Theyve been extraordinarily successful, havent they? Well thats definitely it from me for today. Join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm and look out for tomorrows Levy Letter at the usual time.
