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 BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news, including the results of the shortlist surrounding the casinos to be built in our area. Tune in to find out if Hull and Skegness are going to be the home for these new casinos. Local people say it will be a huge boost to tourism and industry in the region. Ill have more on that later.
In Lincolnshire today, a knife amnesty has been launched. Ill be speaking to the Inspector in charge to find out how this is going and Ill be asking if anything has really changed since the tragic stabbing of the schoolboy Luke Walmsley. Join me tonight for that one. And in Beverley, I'll be looking into these new grooming sessions for men only. It's just for today's modern men apparently. Ill be finding out how men like to be pampered! With our new Home Grown series on the programme, weve been looking at locally produced food and free range organic crops. Well in Boston, I'll be finding out more about the school dinners, which are produced and packaged locally. Ill be finding out how these are going down with the local school children. And I'll be speaking to the opera star, Lesley Garrett. She's coming to the region shortly for some performances and I'll be speaking to her ahead of her tour. So a busy show tonight, I hope you can join me then. And of course, Lisa will be with us again for the weather forecast. Is the rain finished with and are we back on track with the summer weather? Well, probably not, but Lisa will be able to tell us more. And tonight is a big and important night. Were launching something really special tonight. If youve got a computer and youre interested in film from the old days, all archive material, then weve got something special for you on BBC One, straight after Look North. Paul has got a special half hour programme. So whatever you normally do around that time, then make sure you can watch this. Maybe you switch over and watch something else (heaven forbid!) or maybe you go out and make a cup of tea or take the dog for a walk. Well, dont do that tonight, because weve got something special for you tonight. So thats from seven until seven-thirty. Do not miss that one. So cross an hour out of your life tonight between six-thirty and seven-thirty for Look North and for Pauls programme all about archive footage. So theres the advertisement for that one! Problems Dont forget if youve got a problem or an issue that you think we might be able to tackle on Leave it to Levy, then drop me a line to [EMAIL PROTECTED] And indeed email me about anything else as well. Guests Last night on the programme, we were talking to Bonnie Langford. Ive had so many emails asking for Bonnie to be on the programme. So there she was on the programme last night after her huge success on ITVs Dancing On Ice. And Bonnie of course is on her way to Yorkshire later on in the year, but Ill remind you of that a little nearer the time. It was good to have her on the programme last night. Dont forget if theres anyone else that you would particularly like to see interviewed on the programme, then do get in touch. Ill see what I can do and see if we can get that set up. Face Lifts Women, who want to turn back the clock, but fear going under the surgeons knife, have got an alternative. Its called a face lift brace! The two and a half thousand pound device is worn on the teeth and is claimed that it will reduce lines, firm up jaw lines and plump up the lips, by training the teeth into a different position. Its said to boost the flow of blood and oxygen to the muscles in the face and neck, which will trigger healing processes. Its also claimed to stretch the skin across the face and helps to smooth out wrinkles and tackle sagging jowls! Springwatch Well, as Im sure you know the BBC has a special campaign during the summer to help look after wildlife and nature, called Springwatch. Well, it seems that this is taking off. A building firm has stopped the dismantling of a crane on a building site, because they want to protect some mistle thrush eggs in a nest at the top of this crane structure. These soft-hearted builders were so concerned at protecting these eggs that they dont mind that its costing them about £3000 to keep the crane in place. Leaving the crane in place is likely to disrupt and slow down other work, which could add to that growing cost! And office workers, who smoke, have been given an extra incentive to give up the habit recently, when a Great Tit took up residence in an outdoor ashtray. The bird, nicknamed Splutter for some reason, laid her eggs in her new home which hatched this week. And despite being such a tiny bird, she certainly makes her presence known if smokers come too near her little home! So it looks like lots of people are looking out for nature and looking after birds in our area. Let me know if youve got any nests in unusual places in your home! Sport Relief Last night, if you saw the programme, you would have seen me running (well, crawling!) across the Humber Bridge. We were launching Sport Relief in our part of the world. If you would like to take part on that Saturday in the summer and run a mile, then join me in Queens Gardens. If you go to the Sport Relief website and find out more details on that one and see if you can get yourself set up as one of the runners of the Sport Relief Mile. If you do, then youll end up with a pair of red socks, one before and one after youve run. So do support Sport Relief. The Sport Relief campaign has been a huge success and the last time they did it, a lot of money was raised and a lot of money was spent on projects in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire. So when you see the sign saying Support Sport Relief, then run if you can. Its only a mile and all the details are on the website www.bbc.co.uk/sportrelief. Well thats all from me for today. I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm as usual. Take care.
