Hello, it's Peter here. Welcome to Thursdays 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'll have all the day's news as we bring you the exclusive story of how people power has seen residents in one East Yorkshire village bring back their post office.
We'll talk to a disabled woman who suffered the holiday from hell after she was promised wheelchair access only to find her hotel was half way up a Spanish mountain! And it's time to say goodbye to one of the RAF's most famous aircraft with a special fly over in Lincolnshire. Yes, its farewell to the countys Jaguars. And well also have the forecast which comes from Lisa Gallagher. Join us tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual. TV Well its exciting times on the TV at the moment if you follow some of the programmes. Of course the Joseph programme is coming towards a close, and last night it was The Apprentice. It was the funniest episode Ive seen so far. Naomi was voted off last night, so just five left, and next week three will go, and then itll be down to the final two. I still reckon Katie Hopkins, despite all her mouth on her, could be the one to win. But well have to see who Sir Alan will go with. The Apprentice is quite exciting at the moment, and it continues again next week on BBC One on Wednesday. Also starting last night on BBC One, Traffic Cops. It was an hour long programme following Humberside Police, mostly filmed in Grimsby and Hull. It was fascinating and gave us a real insight into the work that they do and also the pressures theyre up against. There were some superb performances, and often you find with the police theyre not that chatty or not that human, but they came across as extremely human, particularly the females. It was good to hear them talk as well. So well done to the members of the Humberside Police Force involved in that last night. Internet Children as young as eight are meeting up with strangers on the internet without their parents knowledge according to a frightening new study. The survey found that 1 in 5 children aged 8 to 15 admitted to seeing people they had first contacted online. Yet only 7% of parents were aware of such face to face meetings. Thats amazing isnt it? Children as young as 8 meeting with strangers who theyve got to know through the internet. The survey also found that vulnerable youngsters are unwittingly handing out data such as their full names and phone numbers that could be accessed by identity thieves. One in five children have met a stranger from the internet, according to a new report out today. Wonders The channel tunnel has been voted one of the 7 wonders of the modern world, despite having an image of being under used and over priced. The debt ridden link between England and France is considered a spectacular feat of engineering. So there we are, in this country the seven best are Big Ben first, the Eden project in Cornwall, which I visited last year. Thats at number two. The London Eye is number three, Buckingham Palace is number four. The Angel of the North is number five, the Humber Bridge came in at number 6, and the new Wembley Stadium was number 7. They were the best wonders in Britain. Weather One of the national newspapers love to have stories about the weather, that and house prices. They say that Britain will swelter this summer as the Met office slashes the odds of temperatures breaking all time records. Theres a good chance that the mercury will rise beyond a sizzling 100 degrees Fahrenheit, thats 38 Celsius. Forecasters previously thought the prospects of an exceptionally hot summer, which begins officially today, werent particularly high, but the Met office said that long term average temperatures could now exceed those of the heat waves of last year and 2003. So according to them, it is going to be a bumper year for high temperatures. A Met office spokesman said Were predicting that this summers temperatures will be above the average. Well have to wait and see. Well thats it from me today, dont forget if you have a story that we should know about, drop me a line at the usual address [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward to hearing from you.
