Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight as usual on BBC One at 6.30pm. Ill have all the days news and of course the detailed weather forecast.
On tonight's programme, I'll have the latest on the cement lorry, which has crashed into a primary school playground in Snaith. This has occurred at an accident black spot and there are calls for safety improvements to be made to this area. A woman has been seriously injured in the accident and we'll be live at the scene tonight to get the latest. Also tonight, we'll be finding out more about the threat of flooding to our East Coast and why a sixty-five year old woman had to become a DIY dentist. Plus we'll be meeting the dinner lady cooking up meals for school children in her garage. And we'll be meeting the husband and wife, who are quids in with television game shows. And tune in tonight to find out how you can make sure rescue dogs are well fed over Christmas. All that tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Emails Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects and also thanks for the big response so far on the Chicago competition. That was the chance to win two tickets to see the West End musical, Chicago, when it comes to Grimsby Auditorium in January. Now, if you want to enter and you can get to Grimsby in January, then answer this question. Who played Billy Flynn in the film version of the musical? Who played Billy Flynn? If you think you know, then email me in [EMAIL PROTECTED] And good luck to you! Single Parents Well, once again, children, whose parents are married, do better in life than those living with single mums or dads or with co-habiting couples, according to research. The fingers always seem to be pointed at single parents doesnt it? I get a bit weary of that after a while. A report says that the children of single parents are 4% more likely to smoke, theyre more likely to be single, separated or divorced. Theyre more likely to be a single parent and are more likely to be in social housing and so the list goes on. But one Tory MP has stood up for them. Ann Widecombe has said that its only telling you what is blatantly obvious. She says that if you have two parents in a long term committed relationship, then that is a much more stable background for children than a broken family. Its a controversial one that one and Im sure youll have your views either way. Single parents the finger is pointed at them once again! Children born into married families do better in life! . My parents split up when I was ten, which that number of years ago, was not commonplace like it is today, so I sometimes take exception to these surveys when they say things like that. But anyway, views on that then get in touch. Pictures Dont forget if youve got a picture or a photograph that youre particularly proud of and youd like us to show it on the programme halfway through, then send it to me electronically. Or you could post in a hard copy and then watch out for it on screen. Also, if youre involved in an event for charity in the run up to Christmas and Children In Need, and youd like a little plug in the Levy Letter, then give me the details and Ill try and give you a mention. Hull Truck The Evening with Peter Levy is on this coming Sunday and is starting at 7.30pm at Hull Truck theatre. If youre coming along and youve got tickets, then I look forward to seeing you there. This is just a last reminder that it is sold out, but if there are any returns or any tickets that cant be used, then the box office will be the place to get in touch! Champagne Supermarkets own label champagne is as good, if not better, than the top branded bubbly. Those are compared with the ones with the very expensive looking labels and the very expensive price tags! Thats according to none other than Egon Ronay. In a blind taste test of thirty bottles of supermarket champagne, the top three were described as excellent by the leading food critic. They were priced between £14.00 and £18.00 proving that popping the cork on own brand bottles was much cheaper than buying the big name champagnes. A report says that often champagne that is cheap from the supermarket is as good, if not better than some of the expensive stuff! You can of course pay a fortune for champagne, but one supermarkets own brand champagne rosé at £16.29 was named the best rosé of those tested! So there you are. Champagne buy it from the supermarket! Im sure its all snobbery really to do with the labels! Well, that's it from me for today. Join me tonight on BBC One at 6.30pm. Bye for now.
