Hi there, its Peter here. Tonight on the programme, we'll take a look at the concerns in the classroom as an East Riding teacher is given a suspended sentence despite pleading guilty to sex offences with a pupil. We'll be investigating why this is the third case of its kind in the county.
Also tonight, we'll be on flood watch and will be hearing from the streets in Burstwick, who are preparing for more flood misery this weekend. Plus we'll be hearing from the vagrants living in tents on a Skegness green, who have been asked to move on by the council. And we'll meet the Leven man with a unique wood carving business from his garage. Thats on BBC One at half past six. And of course Paul will have the forecast for us for the weekend. Im sure there are a lot of homeowners anxiously waiting for an update on the weather for the next few days. Thanks for all the emails youve been sending in. Heres one from Mike. He says, I cannot believe the stupidity of some people my house is in a flood hit area and we are still awaiting our insurers to commence work on repairs. Our next door neighbour is already having repairs carried out and whilst visiting my property yesterday I saw one of the building workers pouring a bucket of plaster down the drain immediately outside the house. It was the blocked drains, which caused the devastation to our house in the first instance and it was myself and a neighbour who unblocked them. This irresponsible behaviour by builders carrying out repairs is going to cause all sorts of problems in the future. What do you think? Thanks Mike for that and do you want to answer him? What do you think about the floods and! why its happening again? Keep in touch with me today about this. As I say, well be speaking to the many homeowners tonight on the programme, who are on flood watch this weekend. And if your home is flooded for the second time or if you can see the water edging ever closer to your home or if a drain near you is blocked up with lots of rubbish, then take a few photographs for me or even get your video camera out and become a cameraman for the day! Take some shots and send them to us. Wed love to hear how the weather is affecting where you live. I think there are some lucky people, who havent been affected this time around, but I know there are many others, who are, so let me know. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] to get in touch with me. Getting Wet Earlier in the week, I mentioned an email sent in by Tanya. She had got absolutely soaked by an inconsiderate driver splashing her and her children with water from a puddle. Sheila wrote in to tell me about something shed seen on a motoring website, where it said that driving through water at speeds above a slow crawl can result in water being thrown onto pavements, soaking pedestrians or cyclists. You could face a hefty fine and between three and nine penalty points if the police believe you were driving without reasonable consideration to other road users. Ah, so there you go! Thanks Sheila for letting us know. All drivers should be warned then to drive respectfully when the roads are wet! Thanks Sheila. Amazon Did you watch that BBC programme, The Tribe, when it was on? Thats with the explorer, Bruce Parry, who travels around the world meeting some of the oldest living tribes and finding out about their way of life. Its really fascinating, especially because Bruce seems to be completely unafraid of trying anything new and hell join in with any of these tribes somewhat extreme traditions and rituals. Anyway, if you liked that programme, then Ive heard of a new programme, that you might quite like too. Its with Bruce Parry again and hell be travelling along the Amazon river and meeting the people, who live on its banks. Hes posting a blog already on his website as they are all out there filming now, so take a look if youre interested on bbc.co.uk/amazon. Or wait for the programme, which is due on our TV screens this year. Cops Any female police officers out there reading this Letter? Theres a story that I noticed in the papers, that female police officers arent happy about their uniform. They say that the regulation black trousers they are forced to wear are very unflattering to their bottoms! This sounds like a clip from The Fast Show. Can you remember that show? Does my bottom look big in this? Criticisms of the slacks are that they are too high waisted, which cover up all their curves and they are far too bulky, which impedes them running after criminals. Lots of female police officers are wearing mens trousers, because they fit better. Theyre also concerned about the stab vests they have to wear, which are, apparently, very uncomfortable for women with larger chest sizes. So female police officers are unhappy with their uniform thats according to a story out at the moment. Thats it from me. I hope you stay safe over the weekend, despite the weather.
