Hello, it's Peter here and welcome to the start of another week of the Levy Letter. I hope you'll be able to join me tonight on BBC One at half past six as usual. I'll have all the day's news and Lisa will have the forecast.
On tonight's programme, we'll get the latest as Hull City football club is sold, which will now see the Tigers owned by a Southern based consortium. We'll find out what it means for the future of the club. And we'll be finding out how successful the new drug Champix is in helping you stop smoking. I'll be speaking to one Hull man, after he quit the habit successfully. We'll be at the Lincolnshire school, which has had to be closed all because of a swarm of bees. And we'll have a special preview of David Hockney's new collection at the Tate Modern in London as his paintings of the East Yorkshire countryside go on show. And as the first carbon neutral eggs go on sale in supermarkets across the region, we'll be asking what on earth are they? We'll be finding out what all the fuss is about on the farm where they're produced in Lincolnshire. Thats tonight on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. Sir Paul McCartney Well, you can hardly open a paper this weekend without reading about Sir Paul McCartney. His new album, of course, is on its way. Thats one of the reasons that this poor guys life is dissected every single thing he does at the moment is looked over and examined by journalists. Theyve even managed to work out that his new album, which is called Memory Almost Full hasnt actually come from looking at his mobile phone as was suggested. He said that that message popped up when his sim card was nearly at capacity. But some bright spark has also worked out that its an anagram of For My Soul Mate LLM. So there you are. And you might say, so what? Well LLM must stand for Linda Louise McCartney. They got in touch with him to ask him if that was intentional and he said, some things are best left a mystery! So whether thats just a happy accident, or whether or not it was by design, I dont know. Memory Almost Full, Sir Paul McCartneys new album is out and its an anagra! m of For My Soul Mate LLM! Weekend It was a very busy weekend, this weekend for events. There were loads of things going on. And the weekend weather was fabulous wasnt it? Especially yesterday. I was reading in the paper that more weddings took place this weekend, than at any other weekend of the year. Im not quite sure why that is. There were numerous weddings, both on Saturday and Sunday and last weekend was the busiest for tying the knot. One of the papers actually did a list of things, which are bound to happen at weddings, which I thought was quite good, so I thought I should share some of them with you. The Bride and Groom will argue whether ex-boyfriends and girlfriends should be invited. The second cheapest item on the wedding list will always be the first to go. The Bride will never be slimmer than on her wedding day. The Bridesmaids dresses will never fit all of them properly. The Bridegroom never knows what to do with the gloves that go with the morning suit. During the service, the person sitt! ing next to you will remind you that one in three marriages end in divorce! Actually thats always me who does that! The photographer will always be the worst dressed male at the event. And the duller the Brides father, the longer his speech! Im sure theres no use saying that if you got married this weekend, then get in touch, because youre probably not going to be reading the Levy Letter! Photos Springwatch has been a huge success and just this morning alone loads of pictures of wildlife have been sent in to show on the programme. If youve got a photo that youre particularly proud of, then send it to me - [EMAIL PROTECTED] Or if youve got a story that you think we could tackle on the programme, then let me know. Suit A new suit is going on sale, which is just under £150.00. Its so loud that it needs its own volume control. Its actually a classic black pin stripe suit and is fairly conservative and dull in its appearance until the electronic wizardry, hidden inside, is put on show. Its an Ipod suit. Its got a smart fabric control pad for the MP3 player, sewn in to the left lapel, allowing the wearer to adjust the level of sound and to skip through the tracks. The pad is attached to a cable, which runs through the lining and plugs into the Ipod, which of course has its own pocket. The lapels even have loops to hold in the earphone wires, eliminating the usual cats cradle connections. The Ipod suit is on sale now. If you regularly wear a suit and regularly use an Ipod, then perhaps this is the ideal combo! How do you wash it though? And talking of gadgets, what about this one? Its not cheap, but it boils up water just enough for a cup, therefore saving you, on average, £30 a year! What normally happens is we boil the kettle for just one cup of tea, but we put in far too much water and so use up too much energy. We could save £30 a year with this new Quick Cup Kettle! This operates in every other way normally, except one red button which sends out enough water for just one mug of coffee or tea. The only drawback is that it does cost £59.99. But they reckon youll save £30. Worth it? Help A little bit of help please! As you know the Lincolnshire Show will be opening its doors next week to celebrate all things Lincolnshire and all things to do with the countryside. Its a huge event for the region and a wonderful gathering to promote the area. Look North, of course, will be there and it would be wonderful if you can help. As some of you will be able to remember, the Lincolnshire Show didnt always come from its present location on the A15 and it used to travel about the area including residing in Grantham in 1925 and Louth in 1936. Can you remember the Lincolnshire show in past years? Do you have any memories of visiting the Lincolnshire Show when you were younger and do you have any footage or photographs of it? Wed love to see your photos or hear your stories about the show, so get in touch with me this week and let me know. The usual address, of course, is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I hope to hear from you soon. Thats it from me for today. Theres just time to announce the winner of our exclusive Levy Letter competition to win tickets to see OMD perform at Grimsby Auditorium. And congratulations to Tony Hamilton from Humberston, who correctly suggested that Enola Gay was one of OMDs hits! So well done to Tony. Well be in touch shortly to send those tickets to you in time for the gig at Grimsby Auditorium on Monday 18th June. Well done to him and many thanks for all the entries! Have a very good afternoon.
