Hi there, its Peter here. Can you believe it? It looks like were heading into our second day of sunshine with no rain. I woke up this morning to blue skies. But will it last? Perhaps Ive just jinxed it and itll pour down with rain this afternoon! I hope not. I dont know about you, but Im fed up with this weather.
Tonight on the programme, we'll be meeting the furious residents of Burstwick, who say that the flooding mayhem could have been avoided if the environment agency weren't suffering cutbacks. And Ill have all your reaction to our story on looting last night. Just to give you a taste of what you all thought about the footage of the two men carrying furniture from a flooded homes garden to their van, heres a few comments. Why dont you just let them take the rubbish from the flooded areas? It saves paying for skips, doesnt it? And one here Your looting story did not mention whether the van thieves broke into the house or whether they took items from the lawn. While the latter may also be illegal, it is quite different from actually entering someones house to steal. Many people may believe that items, like mouldy carpets etc, in a pile outside have been thrown away by the householder. I think you should have got the police officer to spell out what is legal or illegal. ! If the men had broken into the house, an £80 fine is too lenient, if they thought it was thrown rubbish, it was fair as a first offence. And one very angry resident here Its a pity we cant take a lesson from the Americans, when they had the floods in Florida. They had the National Guard and they were given the order of shooting looters on sight. They should do that here as well. Well, an incredibly strong view there! Many thanks for those and Im sure well have more of your comments on the programme tonight. Also on Look North, we'll have the latest on the row over the crowd clashes at last weekend's Hull Derby. And we'll be taking a look at our eye in the sky as we spend the day at RAF Conningsby for their official launch as the UK's rapid response base protecting the country against the threat of terrorism. Plus we'll meet the Sierra Leone DJ, who's teaching Hull's local youngsters how to rap. I hope no one suggests that I take a lesson from him! And we'll be with the thousands of motorcyclists as they rev up for the North's biggest bike night in Barton. And can you imagine how this poor guy must be feeling. We'll be sympathising with the Lincolnshire man, who hasn't been able to stop hiccupping for five months. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. Chish and Fips Its hard to believe, but for the first time its being reported that fish and chips have broken through the £5 barrier. Fish and chips are in danger of becoming an expensive treat, rather than a staple family meal and prices are soaring across the county. I know what you are thinking. Im sure, like me, you know several ''well known places'' where fish and chips are already more than £5. Anyway the reason for this story getting so much coverage at the moment is because the price of potatoes has more than doubled in some cases due to a shortage caused by a poor harvest after the floods. Will it put you off? Or will you still join the queue at your local chippie? Pictures I still need some more photos for our Big Screen. To be fair we probably have seen enough pictures of floods for now. Im sure thats the last thing that people want to see! Any other picture or view, then Id love to see it. The more unusual ones are especially welcome. On Monday we had a picture of a Steam train at Paragon station in Hull and last night we had the picture of a road in Tetney with two speed limit signs either side of the road showing 30mph on one side of the road and 40mph on the other! If you've got a good picture send it to me and also if you have a story that you think we should know about then let me know. The usual address is [EMAIL PROTECTED] Well, that's it from me for now. Paul is back tonight. Last night I met the women of Applebys WI and they had noted Pauls absence recently! But hes back tonight for the forecast, but I read the most bizarre story in the paper that said after the floods we now have the possibility of frost later this month in what should be the middle of summer. True? Or just another tabloid newspaper story. But after those pictures of snow yesterday in Buenos Aires, perhaps it could be true! I must remember to ask Paul about it tonight! Take care today and Ill see you tonight at half past six.
