Hello, its Peter here and welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day is going well and I hope youll be able to join me tonight on BBC One as usual at half past six. Ill have all the days news. Plus, I'll have the latest on the woman from Beverley, who's gone to the European Court of Human Rights to fight for the right to have a child with her husband, who's in prison. Ill have her story tonight.
Plus we'll be finding out more about the supermarket in Hull, which has closed its petrol station after cars started breaking down after using its petrol pumps. Have you been affected by this? Well get in touch with us today if you have! Also tonight, we'll have the final part in our series, which is profiling the work of the air ambulance in our region. Tonight, we'll be with the team as they deal with their most distressing and challenging callout so far. And we'll be announcing the best fish and chip shop in our region! Find out where it is tonight! Could it be your local chippie? All that tonight on Look North. I hope you can join us! Beer Supermarkets are being branded reckless for selling lager at lower prices than water. Apparently, theres a bit of a bargain booze war going on at the moment. At least one chain of a well-known supermarket is offering beer at 54p a pint. A 750ml bottle of the best known bottled water sells for the equivalent of 57p a pint. So water is more expensive than beer. Thats their story. Thanks for the emails on a variety of subjects on issues weve discussed on the programme. Keep them coming in. However, if theres something that you think we should be talking about on the programme, then give me the details and let me know. And of course tune in to see if we cover it for you. Its the usual email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Milk For years, scientists have been telling us that tea is good for the heart, but adding milk to that refreshing cuppa could destroy all the health benefits, research has suggested. Tests show that while tea helped improve blood flow by increasing the ability of the arteries to relax and expand, milk completely counteracts the effect. The findings suggested that milk proteins interacted with the tea to decrease the concentration of anti-oxidants, which protect against heart disease. So tea is good for you, but only if you have it without the milk. Doesnt sound very appetising, does it? Although, theres quite a few people, especially in this building, that dont take milk! Whats On Dont forget, I was saying that if youre involved in something and youd like a plug for it in the Levy Letter, then let me know. Theres a letter here from Hessle from Chris Giles. He says, Saints and Sinners Drama Group, based at All Saints church in Hessle are putting on Cinderella, the proceeds of which will be given to the Hull Homeless and Rootless project. This will be on Thursday, Friday and Saturday, 18th 19th and 20th January at 7.30pm with a matinee on the Saturday at 2.30pm and its all in the church hall. So there you are. If you can support the Saints and Sinners drama group with their production of Cinderella, then there are the details! Theres another email here. This one comes from Sonja Cox. I was talking about the Forsythe Saga the other day and about the fact that the Forsythe Saga is celebrating its fortieth anniversary this year. She says, I dont know if my memory is letting me down, but I seem to recall that the Forsythe Saga was shown on a Sunday night. The reason behind this is because I had friends, who were planning to get married and the vicar of the chosen church wouldnt marry them unless they attended regularly on several Sundays prior to their banns being read. They used to get to the church and then after the service was finished would run like crazy home so that they didnt miss it! It was a way of life for many of us in this country forty years ago! Telephone Well, we like inventions in the Levy Letter. Its already proving itself to be a best seller overseas. A new telephone that could really make a big difference to peoples lives was unveiled yesterday. As the name implies the noisy phone rings at levels that is unrivalled by any other telephone available in the UK. It delivers a seriously loud ring tone volume of up to a massive 83DB, which makes it particularly ideal for the hard of hearing as well as for those working in workshops, factories, garages or in environments where there is a great deal of background noise. In addition to the increased level of ringing volume, the phone also has a large visible flashing light. Many elderly and disabled people, confined to their homes for much of the time, find their telephone the only real link to friends and family. The noisy phone ensures that theyll never miss another call. So if youre hard of hearing or if youd just like a loud ring tone, then itll ring at 83 decibels! I w! onder what the neighbours will think of that! Pictures Another fabulous photograph on the programme last night. Last night was the turn of Mablethorpe and their beach. Ive got happy memories of last summer and switching on the illuminations in Mablethorpe with Paul. Last nights picture was of motorbiking on the beach. If youve got a picture that youre particularly proud of, then let me see it. Send it in and look out for it on the show. Send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Dont forget, were also looking for ideas. We want to do the whole of Look North from someones home one night. It could be you, but we need somebody with a good story to tell. Perhaps there are a couple of people in the family with some interesting stories. Maybe you live in an interesting house. We need stories to make it work. Give me the details and tell me about your family or your house or your garden. Or if theres someone you know, who fits the bill, then let them know and get them to write in. Again, get in touch with me direct at the usual email address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, that's it from me for today. Have a very good afternoon. Join me tonight for the programme as usual at half past six. Look out for your Levy Letter again tomorrow round about the same time.
