Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to todays Levy Letter. Thank you for reading and I hope youll be able to join me as usual on BBC One at 6.30pm. Coming up on the programme I'll have the latest on why Bridlington are placing photographs around the town of everyone served with an ASBO. Theyre all up on display in the town. Ill be getting your reaction to this.
Plus I'll be finding out how a big government cash handout will be spent in Hull to rejuvenate the rundown areas of the city. Im sure youve got views as to where this money should be spent. Tune in tonight to find out what this will mean for the city. It was Halloween night last night as Im sure youre aware. Lots of you got in touch with me last night talking about Halloween. Some of you wanted it to be banned and some of you thought it was just harmless fun. Ill have some of your reaction to that tonight. Plus find out as well how Look Norths ghost hunting went on! We were live at the most haunted pub in the city and well find out if there were any bumps in the night! And this will be an incredible sight. Organisers in Lincoln are planning a race around the city. Its not your normal marathon. This will be with five hundred Father Christmases running around the city! Can you believe this? Find out more tonight. And I'll be talking to Ruth Madoc, who's playing Miss Hannegan in a production of the musical, Annie. Shes a wonderful woman and a great actress, who recently starred in that hilarious clip from Little Britain. I hope you can join me tonight. Also, of course, Paul will have the detailed forecast for us. The rumour is that its going to get colder now. Were in November and the temperatures will come back to normal for this time of year. And I have to say it felt like November this morning! Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Emails Thanks for your emails on a variety of subjects. Keep them coming in. You can get me directly on [EMAIL PROTECTED] And dont forget if youve got a problem or an issue that you think I might be able to deal with on the programme, then give me the details and get in touch and well see what we can do. Hair Its been discussed at work and joked about several times over the last couple of years as I get greyer and greyer. What do we think about men, who dye their hair? Everybody unanimously at work has said NO! It looks awful and I must admit that on a man you can tell when the hair has been dyed. It was interesting seeing yesterday in the paper I dont know if you saw it as well there was a picture of Prince Andrew. One was taken last month and one was taken yesterday. Hes on a trip to New Delhi at the moment. Last month he looked extremely grey, even greyer than me! And then suddenly by this month, hes gone dark brown. So has one been at the hair dye? Thats the headline. One hairdresser has said that, Im 110% certain that Prince Andrew has had a tint. Hes made the classic mistake and gone for an all over colour. He would have been better off combing through a hair colour and leaving some of the grey for a much more subtle effect. But he didnt do that one. So your v! iews on men and their hair colour and hair dye. I particularly want to hear from you if youre a woman. I want your personal opinion! Should I dye my hair? Trains Passengers were somewhat taken aback when they were told that their train was being delayed by a broken windscreen wiper. This wasnt actually in our part of the world, but somewhere down south, but I thought it was worth a mention anyway. They were really astonished when this announcement came over the public address system. Weve lost our windscreen wipers, said the announcer. This seems like an unusual request, but does anyone on the train have any nuts or bolts? Passengers were told that the train could not continue its two hundred mile journey from London Euston to Manchester on Friday until the windscreen wipers were mended. Four passengers answered the call with one of them crawling across the windscreen in a vain attempt to fix the wipers. One of them was travelling back from London to Manchester with his two young nephews when the train was forced to stop at Rugby station. He says, I had a few basic tools with me, so I went up to the front of the train with t! hree other passengers. Its interesting, isnt it, that four people on any one train are carrying a tool kit with screwdrivers to fix windscreen wipers! Its a great story though. But if you can top that, if youve got a funny story, then do get in touch and let me know. Children In Need I think I mentioned it briefly yesterday. Children In Need is nearly here. Its on Friday 17th November this year. If youre involved in some fundraising activities for Children In Need, then the very best of luck. Fingers crossed and I hope it goes well. Dont forget on Children In Need night this year, then well be coming from The Deep in Hull. If you can make it down there, then look out for the Look North team. And before that on Sunday 12th November at Hull Truck theatre, theres the Evening with Peter Levy. If youre coming along, then I look forward to seeing you there. Exercise Regular exercise can prevent blindness in old age, according to research. Those, who do a bit of exercise at least three times a week, are 70% less likely to develop age related macular degeneration or AMD, which is the most common cause of blindness in the elderly. Even a daily walk cuts the risk by 30%. Its thought that exercise keeps eye blood vessels healthy into old age. I was watching an interview the other day with Peter Sallis from Last of the Summer Wine. Hes so fit and able and a brilliant actor as well, but he is almost blind now and thats caused by macular degeneration. So thats a good tip for us all. Plenty of exercise keeps our eyes healthy! Dinners We were talking about food on the programme last night. Today theres the story that most mothers lie about what they feed their children to make them seem like they live up to Jamie Olivers healthy eating ideal. To avoid being criticised up to three in four admit to exaggerating the amount of fresh food that they serve up. The fibs are told to friends and family and even to doctors and teachers. We feel under tremendous pressure at the moment to be perfect and this has led to a number of parents exaggerating the amount of fresh food that they serve to their children. I dont suppose thats new under any circumstances! Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good Wednesday afternoon. Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm.
