Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and Paul will have the forecast.
Tonight, we've got an exclusive BBC investigation on a convicted paedophile, who is now working with young people at Grimsby Institute. He was jailed in 1997 for the serious sexual assault of a thirteen year old boy, but we confronted earlier today whilst working at the college. I'm sure you're going to have a lot of concerns about this one. I'll have more on that later. And also, I will be talking to the actor, Shaun Williamson. Hes in town this week in the seventies musical, Saturday Night Fever at Hull New Theatre. Shaun, though, is well known for playing Barry in Eastenders. He also makes an appearance as himself in the Ricky Gervais comedy, Extras. Shaun will be joining me on the sofa tonight for a chat at half past six. Stories Dont forget, if youve got a story that you think I should know about, a problem that you think I might be able to deal with on the programme, or a photograph that we might be able to use, however funny or scenic, then drop me a line.

Click on Levy Letter, follow the instructions through and get signed up! Police Right, I need your help for this one. News coming in is suggesting that the Home Secretary is pushing for our local police force, Humberside Police, to merge with the South West force and the North Yorkshire force to become one super-force, which will cover the whole of the Yorkshire area. I want to hear from you if youre an ex-policeman or if you live in the area and are concerned about the effects this will have on your local police force. Do you live in a rural area and are worried that the police resources will be focussed on the larger cities and towns in the area and that your local service will become a remote police force? Get in touch with me on this one, and Ill put your concerns forward when we look at this story in detail throughout the week. Get in touch as soon as you can on this one to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Russell Well, I interviewed the super singer, Russell Watson last Friday. He was the star of the BBCs Just The Two Of Us and has an incredible voice. He was a great guest on the sofa and Ive had a lot of people email me to say how much they enjoyed the interview. Well, if you want to watch the interview again, then you can. All you have to do is go to the Humber website at bbc.co.uk/humber or follow the link below to the page. Follow the instructions through and youll be able to watch this interview again in full! http://www.bbc.co.uk/humber/content/articles/2006/03/17/russell_watson_feature.shtml Middle Aged Women I see wisdom used to be the talent, hard work and experience that was enough to ensure you stayed ahead in work, but I see that growing numbers of middle aged women are taking more drastic action to help them compete with their younger colleagues. Thousands are signing up for the so-called Silver Surgery, because they feel that displaying their true age means that they command less respect, and are judged by colleagues to be over the hill. And figures just released, show that more and more women are going for a face lift later on in life. I dont suppose theres any surprises there. Your views on that one and indeed on anything else, then do get in touch at the usual address. Sat Nav This question is posed in one of the national newspapers this week and it got me thinking, because it is one thing that I get quite a few letters about. Sat Nav is it a blessing or is it a curse? Ok, your views on Sat Nav gratefully received. We touched on it a few weeks back. Satellite navigation systems are offered as an extra in virtually all new cars or you can buy your own and attach it to the dashboard. Almost every taxi driver, with whom I get in a taxi these days, has Sat Nav and you can understand it for them. But of course, my sister, who has got a smarter car than me and has got Sat Nav and she tells the story of going up the M1 in the fast lane and the Sat Nav saying turn round at the next opportunity! Turn round, its screaming at her! And shes screaming back at it of course! Your experiences of Sat Nav and Im sure theres some funny stories out there, I would love to hear about them. Is it a blessing or a curse? Memory Have you remembered that it is the first day of Spring? Or maybe the second day of Spring if you count yesterday and of course this weekend, the clocks go (Spring forward, Fall back) so they go forward this weekend. We lose an hour this weekend. But if your memory is good, then spare a thought for this lady she can remember every detail of her life for the past twenty-five years. Give her a date at random and she can instantly recall what took place, what the weather was like, what she ate, who she met and what she did. But the forty year old, who is only known as A.J., to protect her identity, has the most amazing memory! She admits that many of her memories bring her comfort and she says that the constant recall is exhausting. Can you imagine being able to remember every single day for the past twenty-five years? What you did, what you were wearing, what the weather was like? It is extraordinary and I can understand that it would be exhausting for her. Well, this woman ! has got the best memory around according to the papers, but she wants to remain anonymous. Well thats all from me for today. Have a good day and join me tonight on BBC1 at 6.30pm. Dont forget drop me a line if you want to share any story or problem with me. I look forward to hearing from you.
