Hello there and welcome to todays Levy Letter. Lots of emails and messages have come in to let us know that digital and satellite viewers of the programme last night werent able to watch us. Well, many thanks for those. Were trying to get in touch with each and everyone of you, who have got in touch with us to apologise. Obviously, you all know that Im fairly technologically clueless about things like that, but Ive been told that our digital equipment in Leeds failed last night and took us off air. Our engineers in Leeds worked really hard to fix this for us whilst we were on air, but werent able to. Everything is now sorted and were back as normal for todays bulletins throughout the day.
On tonights programme, after another motorcyclist is killed on Lincolnshire's roads, we'll be talking to the man, who organises Lincolnshire's biking events about how to get the road safety message through to the minority of reckless bikers. Plus we'll have the latest footage to show the scale of the problem in our area. And it's a big night for Bridlington as they hope to win a coveted tourism award. Hannah Moffat will be live in the resort tonight finding out what locals and visitors think of the town. Plus we'll be in Grantham today where the country's first intelligent multi storey car park is about to open, which can even tell you where to drive to get a space! And could you imagine living in a Travelodge for more than twenty years? Well, one couple have done just that and we hope to talk to them today. And Paul will have the forecast for us as usual. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. And I think I need some of these. Onions, whilst perhaps not being good for the breath, are apparently brilliant for improving your memory recall! The researchers on this one are from Japan and have been doing tests on people suffering from memory loss and eating onions has helped them with their memory recall. Not only might these results help people do their morning crosswords, but itll have huge effects in the fight against diseases like Alzheimers and Parkinsons. Heres the technical bit the antioxidants in onions join with harmful toxins in the brain and flushes them out of our system, so improving our brain power. But its bad news for the breath though as they must be eaten raw or only cooked on a low heat as over cooked onions lose their memory helping properties. So munch on some raw onion whilst doing your daily crossword to improve your memory recall abilities! And its a well done to Kelly Osbourne, who made her West End debut as Mama Morton in Chicago. I think that many people find it quite difficult to like Kellys brash persona. I think the phrase you either love her or hate her springs to mind, but shes certainly doing very well for herself. Shes been presenting Project Catwalk on ITV2 and Turning Japanese for BBC Three and now shes treading the boards. Shes just twenty-two and has also been unveiled as the new agony aunt for a BBC Radio One show. So shes doing well for herself. Break a leg to Kelly as she becomes the youngest actress to play Mama Morton in the West End. And just finally, I read today that the Body Shop founder, Dame Anita Roddick, has died at the age of sixty-four. Im sure many of us can remember all the campaigning she did with her range of cosmetics, which were against animal testing and championed causes like human rights, HIV and Third World debt. I remember actually back in the late seventies when the Body Shop was just starting and her messages about animal testing were really hard hitting. No one else was doing anything like that at all, so she was very much a pioneer. So best wishes to Anitas family and friends at this difficult time. Well, that's it from me. Have a very good day and join me tonight at half past six.
