Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to Mondays Levy Letter. I hope your day's going well and you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. We've got a special tonight on the subject of coastal erosion, I shall be with a family at Ulrome near Skipsea who are having to dismantle their house brick by brick because its falling into the sea. Paul will be with me as well, thats a special programme at half past six tonight, live from Ulrome on the east coast.
Emails Thanks for all the emails on loads of subjects, thank you for all of them, keep them coming in. If you want to drop me a line this week you can get me direct at [EMAIL PROTECTED] If youve got a problem or a story you think would make a good one for the programme then give me the details and give me the contact details and telephone number as well. Just a reminder that you can always watch the latest edition of Look North on our website if you missed it, or if youre home late, or if you want to watch one of the films again. Thats at www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull. Bills We were talking about that story that 30% of Britons avoid paying bills on time. We had a huge response on that. Apparently nearly a million people ignore their bills. 30% glance at them and then set them aside, only 8% deal with their bills straight away. Many find their bills and statements hard to read. That was the thing that everyone picked up on, and they certainly agree with it, so thank you very much indeed for all of those. The other thing thats got you going is the subject of telephone key pads, when you ring up somewhere and then you have the music, then you have to make a selection to try and get put through to the person that you want, then when you finally get the extension that you want you find that they are busy. Big response on that. Bowel Cancer Taking an aspirin a day can help prevent bowel cancer according to researchers. A new study published in the medical magazine The Lancet found that taking a daily dose for five years can prevent disease later in life. Doctors usually discourage people from taking aspirin over long periods of time due to the risk of internal stomach ulcers, but the new study says that although the general population should not take aspirin to prevent cancer, the benefits outweigh the risks for those with a higher than average likelihood of developing the disease. Eurovision Music was the theme at the weekend of course and it was time for Eurovision again. Now you either love it or you hate it, but its still very popular with an estimated 100 million people tuning in this year, thats an amazing number. Apparently this years host city Helsinki went mad for the contest, with around 350 Eurovision events organised as spin offs in the Finnish capital. After all the performances and the tense voting, the eventual winner was Serbian singer Marija Serifovic with her ballad Molitva. Going into the contest she had been ranked by bookies as the second favourite, behind Ukranian drag queen Verka Serdyuchka. It was another night of disappointment for the British entry Scooch who managed to finish second bottom with their song Flying the Flag. Singer Caroline Barnes from the group wasnt deterred though, she said I have to say I laughed so much I cried at the voting. I'm not gutted. Well good to see she enjoyed it, its all taken as a bit of fun in this country, and if you have anything to say about Eurovision then you can get in touch at the usual address. And talking of music, I see that figures have shown that more and more under fifteens are listening to classical music, especially on their ipods. Classical music is usually associated with much older people, but now the under fifteens are enjoying and appreciating classical music in greater numbers than ever before. Pictures Dont forget if youve got a picture or a photograph that you think we could show on the programme one night then send it to me, either a hard copy in the post or send it to me electronically at the usual address, [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well thats it from me today, just a reminder that our programme tonight it all about coastal erosion, coming live from Ulrome at 6.30 and look out for your Levy Letter tomorrow.
