Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Fridays 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.
Also on the programme tonight, Ill have the latest on the triple jobs blow in Bridlington. Ill be getting the latest on that and will be getting information from the food retail sector on this crisis. Tune in tonight to find out why divers from America have crossed the Atlantic and are in our region. And do you love antique toys? Do you remember all the toys you used to own and cherish when you were a child? Well, Ill have a special treat for you from Lincoln tonight. And Ill be speaking to a wonderful up and coming comic tonight. If youre a fan of stand up comedy, then Im sure youd love this mans Irish charm. Hes the star of BBC2s Mock The Week and has been the guest presenter of Have I Got News For You. Ill be speaking to Dara OBriain tonight on the programme, so dont miss that one! Thanks I had a terrific response yesterday on the emails on a variety of subjects. Thanks to those of you, who came down to the Princes Quay shopping centre in Hull for the Sofa Tour yesterday. Weve had a very busy week on the programme. Dont forget, over the weekend, if youre talking to somebody, who is not signed up to the Levy Letter and you think they might like one, then get them to sign up. Ill have news on a competition as well on Monday, which is exclusive to the Levy Letter. So sign up if you want to enter that one. Go to either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, sign up and then look out for your Levy Letter on Monday. Guests Dont forget if theres a guest that youd like to see on the programme and who youd like me to interview, then drop me a line and let me know. Ive had two or three emails all asking for Jilly Cooper. Jilly has got a new novel out and its another one of her blockbusters Im sure and this one is called Wicked. Its much awaited and is set in the world of education. She is having a book launch next week, where everybody, who is invited to the book launch, is asked to dress in school uniform! Well, Ive got some good news, and that is that Jilly Cooper is on her way to our part of the world and Ill be talking to her on the programme in the next couple of weeks. So, look out for that one! Fifties Now, this was music to my ears. People are happiest in their fifties according to research. The quality of life of a fifty-something is much better than a twenty-something and thirty-something, thanks to safe areas to live and regular contact with family and friends. A landmark study argues that these feel good factors outweigh any health issues that may arise. The decade of being in your fifties is the one in which youll be the happiest. So Im pleased about that one and looking forward to the next nine and a half years! 4x4 Thanks very much indeed for the array of comical emails reminding me that as a 4x4 driver, I will be paying more since the Budget was announced. Well, thanks for reminding me! Ive decided not to read those out at the moment, but as you can imagine there have been quite a few comical emails having a go at me about my car! Pictures Dont forget keep the pictures coming in. If youve got a picture for the Big Screen in the studio, a scenic view of the area, then send it to me either electronically to [EMAIL PROTECTED] or by the post to BBC Look North, Queen's Court, Queen's Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. And dont forget, if you want your photograph returning, then please be sure to include your address with the photograph. Well, that's it from me for today. Have a lovely weekend. Whatever youre up to, then dont forget to do some PR work for us and advertise the Levy Letter and get your friends to sign up over the weekend so that they can enter the exclusive competition on Monday. And if youre planning an event in your area and youd like a bit of publicity for it, then get in touch. Ill see if I can give a bit of a plug in the Levy Letter! Just email me the details to the usual address. Join me tonight for Look North on BBC1 at 6.30pm and look out for your Levy Letter on Monday.
