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 also the weather forecast for the weekend will come from Paul.
On tonight's programme, I'll have the latest as Hull KR gear up for their biggest game of the season. They're through to the Challenge cup semi-final where they'll face the might of St Helens. We'll be wishing them well on the programme tonight. And Ill have more on Humberside Airport's plans for huge expansion in our region. More on that later. Plus, we'll have the final part of our series looking at the emergency services on our East Coast. Tonight, Phil Norton will be with the lifeboat crew at Spurn Point. All of the emergency services in our region work so hard and I know from all of your emails and messages that youve all been enjoying watching their day to day lives. We wish them well and youll be able to see the final part on the programme tonight. However, if youve missed any of this series and youd like to watch any of the episodes again, then just take a look at our website www.bbc.co.uk/humber. Theres a link there to watch all of the episodes again. Also tonight, we'll have a jazz performance in the studio ahead of Hull's jazz festival this weekend. I always like having musicians in the studio with me, so I hope you can join me for them. Theyre a very talented group, wholl be performing at the festival as well. Its a busy weekend coming up. As well as the Hull Jazz festival, theres also the switching on of the lights in Skegness on Saturday night. And its Sutton-on-Seas carnival on Sunday as well. So lots of events to choose from. Whatever you decide to do, then I hope you enjoy it.

Get them to click on there, find Levy Letter link on the first page and sign up. Theyll then get their first email from me on Monday. Names I was talking about funny names for places around the country. And a couple of people have written in about this. Mike here says, Im afraid that Ugley is Hertfordshire and not Essex as you said yesterday. I know it well as in my younger days, I started twenty-five and fifty mile time trails from there. So Ugley is in Hertfordshire and not Essex apologies for that! And theres one here from Mary in Kings Lynn. Here in Norfolk, Peter, we have Great Snoring and Little Snoring! Any more names you can think of, then please get in touch! Heat Paul briefly mentioned this last night, but I often talk about the summer of 76. It just seemed to go on and on and it was so warm throughout the whole summer. But apparently, this summer season is hotter than then, although youve probably guessed that already. This is the hottest month ever. The heat wave is on course to claim another place in the history books by making July the hottest month since records began and that was in 1659! This months average temperature stands at 68 degrees Fahrenheit. Although it is expected to slip to 67.8 by the end of the month as the weather cools. Its likely to beat the previous record of 67.6 Fahrenheit. So there you are. Its the hottest July on record. Dora Bryan One of my favourite comedy actresses, and Ive interviewed her several times on Look North, is Dora Bryan. Shes a wonderful lady and very funny and a great character. And Ive just been reading that the actress was trapped in a lift in a clothes store in Brighton for over an hour this week. Can you imagine that in this heat? It was the most frightening experience of my life, she said. Shes eighty-two now and to cheer fellow trapped shoppers, she burst into several choruses of All Things Bright And Beautiful, saying that this had a calming affect on everybody. So Dora Bryan is eighty-two and was stuck in a lift in a clothes shop in Brighton this week. Cosmic Thanks to everyone, whos sent emails in saying that they too are going to buy Noel Edmonds new book called Cosmic Ordering. I understand the book goes on sale today. If I get a chance to go out, then I shall buy one today to read at the weekend. Cosmic Ordering is where you can order anything you want, but only things that are realistic. For example, a dream job, a dream house theyre all realistic apparently. But winning the lottery is not realistic. It makes you wonder why we bother paying money to play the lottery every week, doesnt it? Cosmic Ordering the book is out today. Let me know what you think if you buy it. Help Earlier in the week, we were talking about people in Hull, who think that theyve been unfairly targeted by over-zealous parking attendants handing out parking tickets in the city. So many of you have got in touch over this one. Obviously, weve touched a nerve and this is something that youre really cross about. So were going to return to the story shortly and we want your help. I really want to talk to a parking attendant and get their side of the story. So are you one, or do you know one, or are you married to one? We want to hear from you as soon as possible. If youre a parking attendant, then do you feel angry at all the bad publicity you get? If so, then nows your chance to get your side of the story out and dont worry your chat with us can be anonymous if you want it to be. So get in touch with my producer, Paul Lead about this on 01482 314504 or email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you. Pictures Since we went on the air, this is the busiest week, weve ever had with people taking pictures and sending them in. Dont forget if theres a picture you see when youre out and about, whether its a news story, or its a funny picture or a view of the region, then send it to me. We love to show them on the programme, and of course, I always love fuel to tease Paul, so any pictures you have, then let me see them. Its the usual email address of course to get me direct at any time [EMAIL PROTECTED] And also if youve got a problem, that you think we could help you with in Leave it to Levy, then let me know and Ill see if I can help. Last night on the programme, I mentioned many of you got involved recently when we asked you for your pictures and memories of the Humber Bridge. That was all to do with the birthday celebrations for the bridge. Well, it was such a success and so many of you got in touch with us that we want to do it all again. Today, we want you to bring us your photographs of what you do for a living and tell us the stories behind them. From eleven oclock you can visit our Open Centre in Hull in the city centre or pop on board our BBC buses, which are at the Riverhead Square in Grimsby and the church Farm Museum in Skegness and chat to the guides. Tell us your story and bring in your snaps, but most of all tell us what you do for a living. And of course, the more the unusual the better! If you cant get in to either the Open Centre or the buses though, send me an email and tell me, because Id love to hear from you too. Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good weekend. Look out for Look North tonight at half past six and Ill speak to you again on Monday.
