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'll have all the day's news and stories as usual.
We'll be speaking to the family of a boy run over outside an East Yorkshire school and ask why the council didnt keep their promise to carry out road improvements. As a Hull Judge threatens to throw out consumer claims for bank charges, we ask is it the end of getting your own back on the banks? Well have a money expert on the programme to give us advice. Well have the latest as over 500 Skeltons staff wait to find out if they have a new boss. We'll also be following the fortunes of Lincolnshire biker Steve Plater as he takes to the road in the Isle of Man TT Races. We spoke to him on the programme recently of course, and hes a four time Superbike champion. And as part of our Springwatch series we'll be in the Lincolnshire garden where nature has been allowed to run wild... Paul will be back with the forecast as usual, thats all coming up tonight on BBC One at half past six. Weekend Whatever you had planned this weekend, whatever you did, I hope it went well and you enjoyed some of the sunshine. Here we are at the start of another busy week. If youve got a story you think we should know about, or a story you want us to follow up and investigate for Leave it to Levy, drop me a line at [EMAIL PROTECTED] I was saying last week that we had a couple of emails from abroad, places in Europe where people are watching Look North. Ive had several more in, so thank you very much for those. Responding to this is Bernice, she says I cant help wondering how people get Look North from so many different places. We have a caravan at Ulrome, we cant get Look North or any other Yorkshire or Humberside news. We have to put up with Tyne Tees. That comes from Bernice. We were at Ulrome a while back doing a special broadcast you might remember. Of course if youve got satellite television you can watch us anywhere in the country. You can also watch the show on our new website, www.bbc.co.uk/looknorthhull. You can watch the programme after its gone out and you can watch the individual features as well. Airline The wives and girlfriends have been doing it for years, now its every womans dream come true. An airline has launched for shopping trips to Paris, Milan, and New York. Its called Fly Pink, its in homage to all things girlie. The airline, which promises to put the glamour back into air travel, has totally frivolous pink livery. It makes its first flight next month to Paris from Liverpools John Lennon airport. Passengers will sip pink champagne in a pink themed cabin aboard the 100 seat aircraft. Theyll even be treated to a free manicure at the airport before they fly. So there we are. Fares, which include food and drink, will be between £140-170. Quite surprisingly, the whole idea has come from a former commodity trading and property manager based in London who is a man. But there we are, a pink airline just for the ladies shopping trips, starting next month. Anniversary One of the biggest years in my life was 1967, the music was superb. I would have been aged about 12. The thing that you had to have in 1967 was the album Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band by the Beatles. Of course it is now a classic album. It celebrates its 40th birthday this weekend. The country in 1967, according to the papers yesterday, was a very cheery sort of place, even if it wasnt all like the one depicted on the archive clips of people with flowers in their hair dancing in the park. Things were very different though. I was reminded at the weekend that when I was eight, I used to get three buses on my own to go to London Airport to sit and watch the planes. Can you imagine letting an eight year old get three buses in London now? Thats the way life seemed to be then, there were certainly a lot less things to worry about. 40 years ago the hits were The Kinks, The Who, The Small Faces, alongside Jimi Hendrix, Cream. The Who have just played here, and theyre one of the few who are still going 40 years later. Talking of The Who, Ive got an email here from Helen Barby. She says I realise this story is a few days old now but I still wanted to have my say. As someone who waited 20 years to see The Who, I was over the moon to find out that they were to play in Hull. I was even more amazed to find that the tickets had been on sale since February. Who on earth was behind their advertising campaign? They want shooting. Ok, maybe the sack will do. I have not seen one advertisement, billboard, or anything to promote this concert. I really believe this lack of promotion was the reason for the poor turnout on the night. Kingston Upon Hull is crying out for this kind of event, but obviously there must be someone in Hulls promotional office who lives in Sheffield and is afraid that Hull will take the best bands from there. As for The Who, after waiting so long to see them, I didnt want to be disappointed, and my god I wasnt. Their performance transcended anything I have ever seen before. I would have paid double and more to get so close and sing myself hoarse. The band, the crowd, the atmosphere were second to none. I just wish I could thank Messrs Daltry and Townshend for giving this 36 year old single mother of two the adrenaline rush kick up the arse am I allowed to say that? she so needed. But I know Ill never get the chance. Maybe you could do it for me and tell them to come back soon. That comes from Helen Barby. Well thats about it from me.
