Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm as usual. Well have all the days news and Paul, of course, will have the forecast, and our special guest tonight on the programme will be the glamorous supermodel, Jodie Kidd. Shell be joining me tonight, so I hope you can join me then! .
A very busy programme tonight. Ill have the latest on another sperm whale, which has become beached on the coast near Skegness. Ill be talking to a whale expert to find out why there have been so many whale sightings recently. Also, Ill be looking at the future of our regions small traders. Theyre claiming they cant compete with the large supermarket chains. And, in light of the fatal crash on the A52 yesterday, well be asking you what you think can and should be done to help improve the road safety in our area. I would love to have your comments on this. So, if you want to email me during the day, I would be interested to read your thoughts on this. How should we be tackling the heavy traffic in our region? Are the heavy lorries to blame, or do we have dangerous roads in this region? Or are we simply bad drivers? Get in touch with me today on this at my usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you. Thanks for all the emails. I hope your Valentines Day was good and dont forget, of course, that although we were sending out Valentines Day greetings yesterday, anytime you want to pass a message on, then you can via the Levy Letter. And if theres something youre organising that you want some publicity for, then do get in touch and give me the details. You can get in touch with me anytime on [EMAIL PROTECTED] Humour Well, Valentines Day is over, but its no joke, apparently. A good sense of humour really is the way to a womans heart. Men, who have been short-changed in the looks department, will be mightily reassured by a report just out. Researchers have discovered that a good sense of humour, or GSOH in the Lonely Hearts advertisements, really does make a man sexier to women. But the same was not true for men, who were no more attracted to funny women than to serious ones. Some funny women intimidate men, which I think weve touched on before. So there you are. All you funny fellas are alright; youve got nothing to worry about! Pictures Dont forget, were looking for pictures for our Big Screen and also any interesting pictures of events that you may have witnessed and have got on film. Well, get in touch and let me see them. And also have you got any stories that you think we might be able to tackle on Leave it to Levy, then get in touch to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Chip and Pin As you know Chip and Pin from yesterday is now the way to go. Cardholders now have to enter their four digit codes when making purchases. If you dont know your Pin number, then your card may be declined. Well, theres been plenty written about it, whether youre a fan or not. Its interesting that a lot of people have written in to tell me this and also a couple of members of staff told me this as well, that theyve seen elderly people standing at the Chip and Pin machine and as theyve been tapping in their number, theyve actually been speaking out their number aloud at the same time. So theyve been going 5 6 7 8 as theyve been typing in their number. Thats concerned people that theyre being too generous with their number. So maybe, its worth passing onto people as a reminder not to mention their number to anyone as youre typing it into the machine. Anyway, your views on Chip and Pin, you might like to send me them in the usual way. Leo Sayer Thanks for several emails from people saying theyd like Leo Sayer as a guest on the programme. Twenty-nine years after his last British number one hit, Leo is back with a dance remix of his 1977 song, Thunder in my Heart. Never has anyone deserved it more, apparently, and Leo is thrilled to pieces with his renaissance. So if youre a Leo Sayer fan and remember him the first time around in 1977, then hes back and is at number one! Ironing Of all the jobs that you have to do at home, then ironing is the worst. No, the worst for me is actually having to put the continental quilt in its cover, which I find almost impossible to do and it takes me forever. I end up having to stand on the bed and shake it to the ground. Anyway, theres news out today that theres a new washing machine out that apparently, does away with the ironing. When its finished washing, it actually irons the clothes as well. If you believe that, then you believe anything! I remember when we had the first non-iron shirt. They never worked either. Anyway, theres a new washing machine out that allegedly irons your clothes as well as washing them. Well have to wait and see on that one. And also, well have to wait and see how much it is as well! Probably a pretty penny or two! Art Im not one of those people that totally understand art, I dont think. I see the pictures of David Hockney and think that a five year old could do just as well, but maybe thats being cruel. Well, theres a new painting. Its just a canvas and its painted in a purple and blue colour (its a solid blue painting, theres no picture on it mind) and its just been sold for £960 000, just short of one million pounds. And all it is, is a canvas coloured in blue. I have to say that I think I could have done just as well. Davina Theyre all talking about it the first new chat show on the television for a long time and it starts tonight. Its called Davina. The first time weve ever had a female chat show host. Davina is on BBC1 tonight. It will be interesting to see how that goes. Of course, one of the ex chat show hosts is Michael Aspel, and I see that Michael is playing the narrator in the Rocky Horror Show, which is on tour at the moment and coming somewhere, not that far away from us, shortly. So hopefully, well be able to get Michael Aspel in as a guest on the programme to talk about that. Thats the role of course, where you have to wear high heels, stockings and suspenders, which will be interesting to see Michael Aspel wearing those! Allegedly anyway, thats what Michael will be doing, according to the papers. Levy Letter Dont forget, if theres someone you know, whos not signed up to the Levy Letter and theyd like one, then get them to go to either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page and follow the instructions through. If they sign up tonight, then theyll get their first Levy Letter from tomorrow. Well, thats it from me for today. Have a very good day. Join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm and look out for Thursdays Levy Letter tomorrow. And dont forget, if youre anywhere near, or can get to Lincoln on Thursday, then Paul and I will be at the Waterside shopping centre for the Sofa Tour between 11am and 1pm. I hope to see you there!
