Hello, its Peter here. Welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well. I hope your weekend was good and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm.
Last week, we got onto the subject of doing jobs around the house. We launched a little competition Hire Peter For The Morning! Well, find out just who actually managed to get me to go to their house and how I got on tonight. Well also have a special guest on the programme, Paul will have the weather, well have all the days news and a sport update as well. Theres the advert, so I hope you can join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm for Look North. Thanks very much for all the emails over the last few days. Im most grateful. If you want to drop me a line, then of course you can direct, no one else will see it, itll come straight to me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] Thanks also to the extra people, who have signed up over the last few days. We know theres been quite a few additions to the Levy Letter subscribers. If you know someone, whos not getting a Levy Letter and would like one, then spread the word. All theyve got to do is go to www.bbc.co.uk/humber or www.bbc.co.uk/lincolnshire, go on to the website, click on Levy Letter, follow the instructions through and then from tomorrow onwards they will get their daily email from me. We were talking last week, well I was saying how I was hoping to get a digital camera. Well, I managed to get one and theres a booklet here the size of the Bible! I thought, well thatll be alright. Ive treated myself to the camera, so I want to read the booklet and do it right, and besides it wont take too long to read, because its bound to be repeated in several different languages no it isnt! Its not meant for several different countries, its all English, so Im afraid I havent yet got very far into it. The only reason I mention this is because Sue Walford has emailed in, she says, If you find out how to get the photos from the camera memory card onto the computer, and how to send them to people, then please do explain how in simple language for simple people like me! I have a camera, I have the photos on the memory card, but from then on I am lost! Sue, I am the wrong person to talk to at the moment. I am working on it. And I might have some information for y! ou later in the week, which begs the question I wonder how many other people have gadgets, which they dont actually know how to use or only use the basics of and could do with some education through programmes. Because everybody assumes that people know how to email. I reckon it would make a really interesting radio or TV programme to have basic hints and tips for people to show them what to do. I might be wrong. Your views of course on that one gratefully received. A new survey is out which says that eight out of ten women find bearded men unsexy! Thats mainly because many of them only have beards if theyre too lazy to shave and the rest think its a handy place to keep bite size portions of their food in when they feel a bit peckish! Thats disgusting isnt it? Well, the new survey says that eight out of ten women find bearded men unsexy. Calling all bearded men readers of the Levy Letter, if there are any, your views on that one please! John Prescott I was talking on the programme a few weeks before Christmas to Des Lynam about taking over Countdown. Des was chatting and said, John Prescotts in your part of the world isnt he? I said, yes, hes local MP for Hull East and he said, well hes heavily involved at the moment in some planning permission for Brighton Football Club. So, I didnt think much more about it, but then of course, two or three days later, I found out that John Prescott has given planning permission for a new twenty-two thousand seat stadium for the Sussex club. He took the unusual step of overruling two planning inspectors by approving plans for a new club on the outskirts of Brighton. This was, as I say, just a few months or so back. So, John Prescott is now the hero amongst the Brighton supporters down there. Brighton and Hove Albion is the name of the club and now John Prescott features in their new football chanting song, which the supporters on the terraces sing. It goes, Hes fat, hes round, h! e gave us our ground, John Prescott, John Prescott! Its quite good isnt it? So there you are, well done to John becoming a hero with the Brighton and Hove Albion supporters. Sprouts No not sprouts for Christmas, or sprouts to cook, but its turning into the auction battle of the decade. Internet users are fighting over the privilege to own one cooked sprout this is on ebay. Can you believe it? Well, I dont understand this, not one jot! Apparently, bidding for this vegetable, one cooked sprout, has already shot up to £1400! The sprout has been offered by a woman called Rachel, but as the bids pour in, Rachels opening offer of nearly £1200 was easily topped, so she upped it and last night the price was still rising. Now the sale looks like raising thousands of pounds by the time the auction closes. Why would anybody want to pay £1400 for a sprout? Beats me! But at the weekend, I did buy some broccoli from the supermarket, which I had with some pasta on Saturday. Theres a chunk of the broccoli left. If anybody wants to bid, then Im starting the bidding at 20p! Well, thats a joke of course, because were not allowed to do auctions at the BBC so dont! take that seriously! As if anybody would! Programme Dont forget if youve got any ideas, or photos that you think we should see or a story that you think we might be able to tackle on the programme, then do let me know. Drop me a line and send me the details and well see what we can do. If youve got a problem that you think we might be able to help with, then Leave it to Levy is that place. Drop me a line and give me the details, tell me the story and send me a contact number as well. Just a reminder you can get me anytime on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Big Brother Am I the only person in the world, whos not watching Big Brother at the moment? It seems from reading the paper that everybody else is watching. I havent seen an episode yet. How long does it go on for? I dont know a week? I havent yet seen Mr Barrymore or Roula Lenska what is she doing on the programme, I was really surprised to see her and surprised that she agreed to do it. Am I being a fuddy duddy or are you enjoying it? Let me know. Well, thats it from me for today. Have a good Monday. Join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm and look out for your Levy Letter tomorrow.
