Welcome to the last edition of the Levy Letter for this week. And dont you think its looking Autumnal at the moment? I remember reading something recently that New England in America is renowned for its spectacular colours as the leaves turn red, but were just as lucky in the UK for our dramatic Autumnal shades. Ive seen a couple of photographs in the inbox this morning showing the lovely brown and red trees. If you see any other beautiful sights of Autumn as youre out and about, then dont forget to take a quick snap for us. Send it in to the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed love to see them and show them on the programme.
Last night we had the breaking news about an alleged terror suspect in Goole being arrested. Well tonight, we'll have the latest on this. Also as yet another church loses part of its roof in lead theft, we'll be finding out how the police are planning on tackling the black market in metal. We'll be going behind the scenes at the Corus steelworks in Scunthorpe with a group of chemistry students as they take part in a very unique science class. And it's a big weekend for rugby as Great Britain play New Zealand, we'll be getting all the action from the KC Stadium. Plus Peter Jackson will be issuing a rallying call on the programme to all the Imps fans ahead of his first game as manager of Lincoln City tonight. Thats all on BBC One at half past six as usual. Yesterday on the programme, we took a look at this years Christmas Box appeal. Its all set up by a charity in Beverley called Real Aid. Well, Ive noticed a few people from the answer phone and text messages, who were interested in the details of this. Well, Real Aid hope this year to again send hundreds of Christmas Shoe Boxes to children in Africa and Eastern Europe, who find themselves living in extreme poverty. These boxes can include things like colouring books and crayons, skipping ropes, soap and facecloths, new underwear, puzzles and small toys, and first aid kits or anything youd like to send to them. They have a big warehouse in Beverley and theres a website for more information www.realaid.org.uk. Good luck to them in this years appeal. Now then, if you like musicals, then theres a treat in store for you coming to Hull. Its a new show called The Magic of the Musicals. Plus it stars an old friend of Look North, Wayne Sleep. He was one of the artists, who gave up their time to appear on the Evening With Peter Levy event, which was last year can you believe that? How time flies. Not only is this show starring Wayne, but also Melanie Stace. And Melanie is an old friend, who has the most incredible singing voice. Youll remember her from hosting the Generation Game with Jim Davidson. So if you like music from the shows, then this is a must. Its on in Hull on the fifteenth of November, so look out for that. Ouch! I thought these figures were just quite extraordinary when I read them recently. University graduates will have to hand over almost half their salaries to the taxman within five years. This new report showed that about half of their salaries would be spent on loan repayments, direct and indirect taxation, national insurance, pension contributions and council tax. Concerns are that tax at the moment is very age biased towards helping the older generations. So yet another doom and gloom story in the papers for our students. Stale Biscuits I dont fancy this much, would you? Eighty year old biscuits are going up for auction this month. And these biscuits in their original tin could sell for about £3,000. Its apparently a very rare 1920s tin in the form of a Sports Coupe car and it even has little electric headlights on it. They suggest that a child could play with the tin afterwards, but Im sure there are some adults, who might like to too! I can perhaps understand that people like collecting biscuit tins, but I think if I bought it, then Id tip out the mouldy biscuits instantly! Or perhaps Im missing the point! Well on that note, Ill say goodbye to the Letter for another week and I hope you can join me tonight on the programme at half past six. Have a lovely weekend.
