Celebs Still the letters and emails are coming in on the subject of Im A Celebrity. It is over now, so we dont need any more. We know that The Thatch has won! Well done to her. And well done as well to Sheree Murphy. Sheree spent a lot of time in Yorkshire before moving over to Cheshire to support her husband. But she did very well in the programme as well. But the interesting thing thats come out of the stories in the paper is that the producers were hoping for an affair or a row or some agro, but very occasionally something happens on television which restores our tarnished faith in human nature and this series of Im A Celebrity Get Me Out Of Here has confounded the critics and the programme makers alike. We fully expected a load of rows and all sorts of boorish behaviour and falling out, just like last year, but everybody got on with each other in a very sweet way. Despite the fact that the programme had a lot of nice people this time in the Jungle, the programme still had h! uge audience figures. I think it has surprised an awful lot of people. Emails I was talking about addresses earlier in the week. A note here that comes from Julian Fung and he says, Im about to move to Hull from Glasgow. He gets the Levy Letter in Glasgow at the moment. I bought a house in Oxford Violet off The Willows, so there is no Street, no Road, no Lane, no Drive, so is it posh? Well Julian, Im not familiar with that part of the world exactly, but Im sure its very select! Thats Oxford Violet off The Willows and Julian is about to move from Glasgow to Hull. So Julian good luck with your move. And still on the subject of addresses. This one comes from Lesley, Just a thought, what about the price of houses for those of us who live in a Close. They must be worth a minor fortune and nearly rivalling your Court! Of course that could be somewhere like Lincoln Crown Courts, because I was saying that I live in a Court. Its a block of flats and not quite as glamorous. I was also talking about cyclists and the number of accidents involving cyclists. Theres a note here from Mike Johnson from Sutton Road in Hull, After reading about cyclists in Mondays Levy Letter, I thought I would drop you a line to see if you could help us. I live on Sutton Road, in a small row of houses near the Sutton Road, Leads Road crossroad. We have a major problem with cyclists, especially when works are leaving. So much so that four years ago, my mother walked out of the gate on her way to the car and got run over by a cyclist, causing her a broken hip and a broken leg. And the cyclist got fined £25 for riding on the path with no lights on. A very small price to pay considering my mother is now restricted in how far she can walk. Mike thank you very much for your email. And just one final email on the subject of temperatures from Mr Bilton in Lincoln, I disagree with always quoting temperatures in Celsius. In winter, I think all temperatures should be given in Farenheit as all us old people feel that 30 Farenheit is warmer than minus 1 Celsius! Mr Bilton, thank you very much indeed. Want To Stay Slim Well, everyone is interested in that arent they? Well, dieters with a burning desire to lose weight are being offered a revolutionary new treatment setting themselves on fire! A spa in Hong Kong claim that customers can lose up to six inches of fat from their waist in minutes by smothering themselves in Chinese herbs and then being set alight. The heat melts the fat, draining through the lymphatic system, which destroys the bodys toxins. And how much does this cost to be set on fire? Well, just £78. You couldnt make it up could you? And another headline this morning if you want to lose weight, then a drop of your favourite tipple can do the trick. This is just what you want to hear at Christmas isnt it? But only a drop mind you! Researchers today said that moderate drinkers are less likely to be obese than people who never touch alcohol at all. Thats interesting isnt it? Moderate drinkers are less likely to be obese than those who never drink alcohol at all! But heavy drinking can increase the chance of getting fat by a staggering 46%. So if you just drink a little, then thats the thing to do to be slim! Music to our ears, isnt it? As many of you will have realised, we had a few technical difficulties in getting the Levy Letter out to you yesterday. Im not going to go into technical reasons why it was so late yesterday, mainly because I dont know why! However, Im sorry it was so late and Ive been assured that I did press all the right buttons! So thats a relief. Anyway, better luck today! Thats it from me for today. Have a very good day and join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm.
