Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to Tuesdays Levy Letter. I hope your day's going well and I hope you had a fabulous weekend and a very enjoyable Easter. If you had something planned then I hope it went very well indeed. The roads were exceptionally busy at all the tourist honey pots. I made my way up to the dales and had a drive around up there. It was looking great. I stayed in a little place and I got to meet quite a few people as well who live in Lincolnshire, all up there on holiday. Whatever you had planned this Easter, I hope it went very well indeed. The old Daily Express are at it again. The front page of the paper yesterday said You think this is hot, wait until summer, its going to be 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Im sure Paul will have a view on the Daily Express, who love to put stories on the front about either the weather or house prices because every time they do, they sell more copies. I hope you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. We'll have all the day's news from our region as always.
On the programme today we report from Grantham on the tug of war between parents and the council over plans to build houses on land currently used by children and for social events. We'll have the full report from the massive Rugby League derby yesterday. If youre a fan you might already know the result, but well bring you all the action from the clash between Hulls two Super League clubs. Theres anger in Goole over plans to build a new Arts and Civic centre that residents claim wont be able to serve the community. Well be taking a look at both sides of the argument. We're at the Skegness hotel where tons of sand in the basement could be hiding 50 year old spa baths. You couldnt make it up could you? And well have the region's answer to the Chuckle Brothers. I'll be talking to the Chaos brothers as they bid to make the big time. And of course Paul will be here with the weather forecast as usual. Surgery Well you go along, you have your surgery, your operation or whatever it is, and you think its complete and leave with just about the same as you came in with, unless youre having something taken out. Well it seems that two patients a week are leaving hospital with surgical instruments still inside them after an operation. Two patients a week are leaving hospital like that. Lost implements inside our bodies include swabs, a catheter, a metal clip, contraceptive coil, and numerous tools. There were a total of 284 claims against the NHS in the last three years, so thats nearly two a week. So there we are, you might leave hospital with more than you thought you would get. Wrinkles You might not know the name Steve Barton, but it seems he is a friend to just about every female in the country. The unassuming 56 year old scientist has done something quite great, thanks to his discovery of the holy grail of the cosmetics industry, an anti-ageing cream that actually works, allegedly. The cream is sold in the high street, its £17, and sales jumped by 2000% after it was featured on BBC Twos Horizon programme in March. The science programme investigated the sometimes outrageous claims made for skin creams and found there was just one product that justified its price tag. Im not going to name it or where you can buy it. It costs £17, and the man behind it, Steve Barton, has developed a cream that keeps the wrinkles at bay. Stories Just before Easter many of the stories we were doing on the programme were stories viewers had sent in to us that they thought we should know about or investigate. If you have a story like that then give me the details, give me a contact telephone number as well, the address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] If theres a story you think we should know about or get to grips with then give me the details, let me know and well see what we can do. G4 Just before we broke up for Easter, the news came through on the Friday and I didnt have a chance to mention it, that G4 are to split up. Britains most successful classical singing group are splitting up after admitting they can no longer work together. The classically trained quartet who became a soar away success after appearing on the X-Factor three years ago now are splitting up. Of course Matt Stiff from the band is from Grimsby. Its a great shame that a band who were selling so many records and making so much money are having to split up because they dont get on with each other. They keep falling out. Anyway, if you have views on the future of G4 and the fact that theyre splitting up, let me know and get in touch. Its the same address of course for that or anything else, [EMAIL PROTECTED] If youve been taking any good pictures over the Easter weekend that you think we should see for the big screen on the telly one night then send them to me at the usual address. Well thats it from me, nice to be back with you. Have a very good afternoon, join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. Bye for now.
