Morning! Its Caroline here. Ive managed to scrape the frost off my windscreen this morning to get here. How nippy is it this morning!! Hope youre all wrapped up warm.
We had the heart breaking story on last night of the huge number of dogs abandoned in Lincoln. There was that incredible shot at the end of the piece with one of the volunteers from the dog sanctuary and about five dogs sitting with her and her family on the sofa! Theyve got so many abandoned dogs at the moment that they dont know where to put them, so theyre taking the dogs home with them. I think a lot of you were really touched by the story and I know youve been in contact with us last night and this morning asking for more details. So if you do want to help these dogs and maybe even foster one of them, then there are two ladies you can contact. Karen Fletcher on 07761 541123 or Val Hosegood on 07808 003123. If you do ever want more information about a story that we do on Look North, then youre always welcome to get in touch. You can email us on [EMAIL PROTECTED] or leave a message on our hotline numbers 01522 875184 or 01482 314406. And well try and get the answer to you as soon as we can! I expect a lot of people will be finishing work today for Christmas and will have a couple of days off for the holiday period. Well, spare a thought tonight for some workers in Lincoln. Tonight on the programme, well be at a foundry in Lincoln, which is closing its doors today for the final time since its opening at the turn of the century. Well be talking with the workers, who are facing an uncertain future this Christmas. Well have their story tonight. And a controversial one this one! Well be in Hull tonight at the first pub to take advantage of the change in the licensing laws. This pub will stay open all day on Christmas Day and then will continue to keep its bar open until 5am. What do you think to that one? Do you fancy going out clubbing on Christmas Day? Or do you think its a time for the family and you should be together around the Christmas tree? Or do you think its a time to reflect on your faith? Theres lots of time for you to get in touch on this one. Im sure youll have a view. So email me and let me know what you think to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Also tonight, well be in Scunthorpe, meeting the hairdresser brothers, who are hanging up their scissors after more than forty years in the salon. And is he set for stardom? Well be chatting with the Lincolnshire boy, whos filmed, directed and produced his own film and hes only thirteen! All this week, weve been bringing you some lovely performances from choirs from across the region. There were the choristers at Lincoln Cathedral and then the Male Voice choir from Beverley last night. Tonight well have our finale! A very special rendition of the Twelve Days of Christmas sung by twelve choirs from our area. Ive been told that these choirs vary quite a lot in style! Drag Queens to Gospel Choirs whatever next! So, something to look out for!! I heard today that the Queen is getting down with the kids this Christmas. In her 3pm speech, Her Majesty will be discussing the need to guide the young and to respect the elderly. And following on from this youthful theme, for the first time the Queen will be a podcast! For those of us, who are not familiar with podcasts and what they mean, then let me explain! Apparently we can download her from the Internet and play her on our Ipods or MP3 players. So although, the Queen turned eighty this year, her speech will be streamed on the Internet for the first time! So if youre still eating your turkey at 3pm, then you can always watch the Queen on your MP3 player a bit later on! Well, I wont keep you any longer. I expect youve got presents to wrap, cakes to ice, food to buy, mince pies to bake, houses to clean and trees to decorate! Wrap up warm if you go out, drive safely and put the kettle on at about twenty past six, so that you can watch Look North at half past! Have your cup of tea and put your feet up and catch up with the news on Look North. Hope you can join me!
