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 usual. We'll be finding out if Humber bridge tolls really could be a thing of the past after new plans announced today. A lot of people will be waiting with their fingers crossed for that one.
We'll be investigating government reports highlighting possible racial tensions in towns with an influx of migrant workers. New developments are expected at Boston United today as things continue to look bad for the club. Well have the very latest news. Twenty five years after the Falklands war, we'll be speaking to the civilian North Sea ferry workers who were caught up in the conflict. We'll take a look at the high profile fixtures for Scunthorpe United this year as they move into the Championship. Its a big year for them. And how do you dry your washing? We'll be finding out how the peg and washing line come out against the tumble dryer. Thats all coming up at the usual time of half past six tonight on BBC One, and its a busy day for me, Im the guest of honour tonight at the Defence School of Transport, their Beating Retreat ceremony at Leconfield. Im looking forward to that very much. Im sad today about the forecast. Its pretty grim, and it looks like it all day, but of course the details will be coming up from Paul at half past one and half past six. The Show Well its the show thats dominated our lives, or some peoples lives, for the last twelve weeks. I dont know what Im going to do on a Wednesday night any more. Its The Apprentice of course, and the answer? Well shes fired, hes hired basically. Kristina, although the favourite, didnt get the job. It went to Simon Ambrose, he won the job as Sir Alan Sugars apprentice. So we had a boy as the first winner, then it was Michelle Dewberry or course from Hull last year, and now Simon Ambrose. We wish him well, and lets hope that its not too long before the series comes back. The papers this morning, and many people in the office as well were saying that 31 year old Katie Hopkins from Exeter is probably been the star of the show and will probably be the one whos remembered, and will get more offers of interviews. Well have to wait and see, but thats The Apprentice come to a close for this series. Emails Thanks for the emails on all sorts of subjects, keep them coming in. If youve got a story you think we should know about, let us know. We find out about many stories from viewers, we had one last night on the programme about the guy who was getting all the TV license bills through his letterbox. Well he got in touch with us and told us about that. The next thing, it was on the TV. So if youve got something you think we should know about, send it to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Its the same address for pictures too, weve probably had enough animal pictures now. Wed like to get back to some views. If youve got something you think we should see then send it to me. High Heels The dangers of high heels have long been confined to bunions or falling over on an uneven stretch of pavement, but now it seems those stilettos lurking at the back of your wardrobe really could be killers. Up to 12 million women are putting lives at risk by driving in inappropriate footwear. Stilettos for female motorists, and flip flops are bad because they can get stuck between the pedals. The best advice is to slip them off and put something sensible on when youre driving a car. Theres a message for women who drive in flip flops, and high heels. Burglary We all shell out money for home insurance, building insurance, and contents insurance. Figures out today show that a third of Britons have been burgled, and more than half of the victims of break ins suffer trauma afterwards according to a new survey out today. Its incredible to think that a third of people in this country have been burgled. Thats the new figures. Events Dont forget if youve got an event coming up that is for a good cause and you want to drop me a line, let me know about it and I might give you a mention in the Levy Letter. This weekend there are loads of things on, theres the Race for Life with ladies running at Sewerby Hall in Bridlington. The week after, theres the Humber half marathon. I and Paul will be there to start that one off. Down at the Humber bridge, the Humber half marathon is on a week on Sunday if you can make it down. Thats it from me, enjoy your Thursday afternoon and join me tonight on BBC One at half past six. Bye for now.
