Birthdays One of the things that has really caught on is the birthday spot on the Levy Letter. Ive got loads coming in at the moment. Hello to Katie Jones, its her birthday today. Shes twenty-three. Katie, happy birthday and lots of love from Mum and Dad. An email here from Lesley in Boston, she writes, Great show tonight, you and Paul are the best tonic for laughter. I was wondering if you could give my husband, Paul Harrison, a birthday mention in your Levy Letter. He will be the big 50 on Sunday, the 11th December. Of course we can Lesley! So Paul, I hope you enjoy your birthday on Sunday and many happy returns to you. And a note here from Carole Jones from Bridlington, she says, When you do your Levy Letter on Friday, could you wish my husband Steve in Saudi Arabia a very happy birthday for the 10th December. Happy birthday Steve. He was not lucky enough to get in his request for my birthday on the 6th, but maybe I will succeed where he did not! Well, Carole Jones in Bridlington, belated greetings to you and happy birthday for the 6th and happy birthday as well to Steve. Hes one of our long distance readers all the way in Saudi Arabia, Steve and Carole, but they still have strong links with Bridlington. Missing Dog I suppose if you start something like this, then you open the floodgates, but this is such a sad email, I thought Id have a bash. This comes from Lisa Scargill. She writes, Can you help me. Yesterday my dog went missing. I have three very upset children, so I was hoping you might be able to say something for me and see if we can get him back. Hes a cocker spaniel. His name is Spot and he went missing in the Boston area. Ive put up a reward, because my children are so upset. So if anyone sees a lost looking cocker spaniel in the Boston area, then get in touch with me and Ill put you in touch with Lisa. You can get me as always at [EMAIL PROTECTED] William Hague We started the week with an interview with William Hague on Monday, and I was ribbing him about how he wont have time for writing when he has a job in the Shadow Cabinet and lo and behold of course he has. Hes agreed to become Shadow Foreign Secretary, giving up his outside interests that earn him, well its estimated, around one million pounds a year. David Cameron persuaded Mr Hague to join his Shadow Cabinet in a line up of heavy hitters. So there you are, you heard it first on Look North on Monday night, but now it is official! Women On The Phone For many long-suffering husbands and partners, it can feel as if their wives and girlfriends are never off the phone. Yesterday a survey revealed just how much longer than men, women spend making calls - a whole year and a half during their working lifetime. Ok, let me clarify that one. Women spend a year longer on the phone than men. Some people will say really as little as that?! But what men may be surprised to learn is that when it comes to hogging the phone, theyre almost as bad as their other half. The average woman spends four and three quarter years phoning during her working life. That means that shes away for forty-two thousand hours making calls. But whilst many men pride themselves on keeping call times to a minimum, they still clock up an average of three and a quarter years or twenty-eight and a half thousand hours on the phone. Staggering isnt it? Suggestions Dont forget, if youve got an idea or a suggestion of something we should talk about on the programme, or a guest that youd like to see on the sofa, then do drop me a line and let me know. Were still looking for problems for Leave it to Levy. If you think you might have something that we could tackle on the show, then get in touch and well see if we can sort it out. And also, I havent mentioned it all this week, but the Children in Need Peter and Paul calendar are still available. £5 from our receptions in Lincoln, Grimsby or Hull or available if you want to pop along to one of our BBC buses. If you cant get out, then you might want to send me a cheque made payable to the BBC for £6. Post it to me, and then the extra £1 will cover the postage and packing. Its not too late to get hold of your Children In Need Peter and Paul calendar. Then get in touch with me. Well thats it from me for today. Have a very good weekend. Whatever youre doing, then I hope it goes well. I look forward to being with you tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm. Look out for your Levy Letter on Monday. Have a great weekend.
