Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to todays 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 will have the forecast of course. Are we set for a lovely weekend? Lets hope so.
Tonight on the programme, we'll be investigating the back street tattoo parlours of Hull. Trading Standards officers are warning about the dangers of these back street shops as it follows a confiscation of tattooing equipment from a housing estate in the city. Its feared that poor hygiene and bad tattoo methods could lead to outbreaks of diseases like Hepatitis C. Well have more on that story later. Tonight on the programme, we'll have the latest on the extraordinary court case in Lincoln of a man caught manufacturing sub machine guns and I'll have the results of that referendum in Beverley over the controversial continental-style piazza in the market street. Many people have been in contact with me over this one and were especially shocked over the interview last night with the Councillor from East Riding Council. Well have the results and the very latest on that vote by the people of the Parish of Beverley. Plus, Im sure you all know my fascination and love of boats. Well, I've been lucky enough to be invited out with the Humber Rescue team, so tune in tonight to see that excursion onto the River Humber and beyond! And he was the BBC's chief political correspondent from 1992 until the year 2000. Well, John Sergeant is coming to Boston shortly to share his many experiences and stories of his thirty year career in broadcasting and he will be joining me tonight for a chat first. I hope you can join me then. Just while Im thinking about it as well. I mentioned it yesterday, but Ill mention it again that if youre around next Wednesday and you fancy a trip to the Lincolnshire Show, then we will be there for Look North, broadcasting live. I will be there with Paul as well, all day and the programme itself will be on at half past six as always and will be coming live from the Lincolnshire Show. If you can make it down, then join me and my special guests. Get yourself to the Lincolnshire Showground its just off the main road into Lincoln. And thats next Wednesday. I hope to see you there. Thats Wednesday of next week. Football Congratulations, of course, to England for yesterdays match. If you were watching Look North last night, then Im sure youll remember we set a little fun text vote last night. All of the team of Look North were getting disheartened that perhaps not many people would be watching us last night, because we clashed with the football. So we thought wed put you to the test by setting up a text vote asking if you were watching us! Well, whilst on the air we couldnt see any text votes coming in, which confirmed our worst fears. We see now that you were watching us. I think maybe our computer people here were all watching the football too, because our text vote machine wasnt working properly! Hooray we see now that two hundred and eighty-nine people were watching us last night! Thank you so much for texting in! And to those nine people, who werent watching us, but texted in anyway, thank you very much to you too! Kylie Theres great news to report that Kylie Minogue is making great progress with her recovery. Shes got short curly hair now and she briefly joined her sister, Danni, on stage, just for a short chat on the microphone. The thirty-eight year old delighted clubbers last weekend with an impromptu live performance the first since she was diagnosed with breast cancer. The twenty second cameo happened at the end of her sister, Dannis high energy gig at the Astoria nightclub in the West End. Kylie Minogue is an inspiration to many and it was great to see her so well and back to her old form. Barbeque Well, we were talking about barbeques on the programme last night when I was getting a personal cooking lesson from Winteringham Fields top chef, Robert Thomson. Well, theres a very sad story here in the paper in the news at the moment. A warning against using petrol barbeques was issued after a boy of thirteen was left fighting for his life whilst his six year old brother was severely injured at a family birthday party. The youngsters mother was also burnt as flames erupted after a cap of highly flammable liquid was poured on the garden barbeque. A fire service spokesman said that if he had to give one tip, then it would be to never use petrol. So there you are. Im sure many people dont, but thats a very sad warning there to not use petrol barbeques. Levy Letter If youre with friends at the weekend and you know of anyone, who doesnt receive a daily Levy Letter and you think they would like one, then do a bit of publicity for us. Tell them to go to either one of the two addresses at the bottom of the page, find the Levy Letter link, click on that and get them to sign up. Theyll get their first Levy Letter, of course, on Monday of next week and then every day free of charge from then on. Ill be here to tell you whats what and you can also be first in the know for whats being discussed on the programme that night. Fathers Day Just in case you have forgotten, then its Fathers Day on Sunday. So if you want to get your Dad a card or a present, then today or tomorrow will be your last chance. So its Fathers Day on Sunday. Also on Sunday, Ive been told that theres a Fayre going on in Appleby. Its Appleby Village Fayre and it starts at 12pm. Lots of stalls and events in the main arena and if the weathers nice, then Im sure itll be a lovely day out. So best of luck to the residents of Appleby in North Lincolnshire and I hope they enjoy their Fayre. If youve got an event coming up, then let me know and Ill give you a plug in the Levy Letter. Email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Queen There was a special service yesterday afternoon as you know to celebrate the Queens birthday and it was a national service of thanksgiving really. There was a marvellous cartoon in the paper of the Queen pointing her finger addressing the Archbishop. The bubble out of her mouth says, Keep your sermon short, Archbishop! England kick off at 5 oclock! The people, who do these cartoons in the paper are just hugely talented arent they? Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good Friday afternoon and join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Have a very good weekend and look out for your Levy Letter again on Monday.
