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 BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and Lisa Gallagher will have the forecast.
Tonight on the programme, Ill have the latest on that gas explosion in Hull. And Hull West MP and Education Secretary, Alan Johnson, is in Hull, clamping down on turkey twizzlers! Following on in the footsteps of Jamie Oliver, the government is now banning all of the worst junk food in schools. Ill be speaking to him to try and find out where our children are really going for their lunches. Are they going to the local chip shop and do they really want turkey twizzlers banned from their school dinners? Ill have more on that later. Ill be meeting the man, who spends his days staring at clouds! He says Lincolnshire is the best place in the country to kick back with your cumulus! And tonight, Ill be speaking to the comedian Ken Dodd. Hes still going strong and is coming to Bridlington and Cleethorpes later in the year. Such a lovely man and the jokes just keep on coming with him. Ill be chatting to him later. Plus tonight, Ill have the World Cup widows on the programme, who are turning to belly dancing in an attempt to coax their husbands away from the television! Find out if theyre successful! All that tonight on Look North at half past six. Levy Letter Dont forget if theres someone you know, whos not signed up to the Levy Letter, then spread the word and let them know about the daily email from me. Or maybe youre getting your first Levy Letter today after signing up over night, then thank you very much indeed. And to celebrate that fact, Ive got a special competition, which is unique to the Levy Letter. If you are an opera fan, then this will be of interest to you. Ive got two pairs of tickets to give away to see Rigoletto at Grimsby Auditorium. Its a wonderful, vibrant show, so Im sure youll enjoy it. All youve got to do is answer this question who wrote it? Just let me know who wrote the opera, Rigoletto and email me with the answer. Good luck and I hope to pick out our winners very soon, so get in touch with the answer to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sport Relief As you know, Sport Relief is on the way. You must have seen the adverts by now on the television. Well, well be officially launching it on Tuesday on Look North next week. There will be plenty of ways in which you can take part. Ill give you details on that on the programme soon. Before that, on the Monday night, weve got another chance for you to get involved in Sport Relief. Do you fancy meeting our sport team and our presenters here and help raise money for a great cause as well? Make a note in your dairy that this coming Monday, the 22nd May at the Tigers Lair on Anlaby Road in Hull, we will be having our Sport Relief Quiz. John Inverdale from BBC Grandstand will be there as well, so you can come along and meet him too. You dont have to be a sports expert, so dont worry about that. If you can recognise well-known BBC theme tunes or the voices of famous sport stars, then you could win some of our great sport prizes. Therell be an auction too, so something for every! one.

The doors will open at 7pm and the quiz will start at 8pm. I hope you can join the BBC Radio Humberside sports team for that one and its all for a great cause. Ben Nevis The most bizarre story of the week, is the fact that a piano was found on the top of Ben Nevis! Heaven knows how it got there. But its a great story. And inside it was a biscuit wrapper, which said best before 1986! Although, somebody tells me this morning that it was actually put up there by some fellows from a charity carrying the piano up to the top of Ben Nevis twenty-seven years ago. But I cant believe that nobody has actually spotted it before now. But thats the bizarre story of the week. Busy Mums New mums get only four hours sleep a night and only one hour of me time every day. The lack of rest makes their lives more stressful than they ever imagined. So says a new survey out today. Mothers also blame their added pounds on not having enough time to exercise. Unlike Gwyneth Paltrow and other celebrities, who lose their baby weight in a matter of weeks, most women are still overweight fifteen months after giving birth. One in five have not lost the excess pounds three years later, according to some research just out. So there you are. New Mums have only four hours sleep a night and only one hour of me time every day. Pictures Dont forget if youre taking any pictures over the weekend or if youve got a photograph that you think would be just right for us to show on the programme and if its a local view, then do send it in and let me see it. Ill show it if we can on the programme. Also, if youve got a problem that you think I could help with in Leave it to Levy, then drop me a line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or theres our usual postal address of BBC Look North, Queen's Court, Queen's Gardens, Hull, HU1 3RH. Well, that's it from me for today. Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Have a very good weekend and look out for your Levy Letter on Monday.
