Hi there, welcome to Wednesdays Levy Letter. Tonight on the programme, as petrol prices continue to rise, we'll be speaking with local haulage companies to find out what the price hikes mean for them and how it'll affect their consumers.
We'll get the latest on the one hundred million pound plan to revamp Hull's historic fruit market area and will find out what that may mean for the city's skyline. As hundreds of police officers take to the streets of Westminster, we'll hear what our local Bobbies feel about their pay awards and will be asking if you think they're right to protest against their pay. And from Goole to Ghana, we'll show you how local football teams are helping the street kids of Ghana enjoy the beautiful game. Thats all at half past six on BBC One and Lisa will have the forecast for us as well. This was something I didnt know. Michele Dotrice, who played Betty in the classic BBC comedy, Some Mothers Do Ave Em, was born locally. A wonderful clip from the show was featured yesterday on the programme when we celebrated all things Grimsby on their official Great Grimsby day. Well, thanks to Ian Bulleyment, who reminded me about this today. He emailed in to say she was born in Cleethorpes. And she was! Local girl, Michele, was born on September 27th 1948 in Cleethorpes. Shes now living in London, but was born in Cleethorpes! Wow. Stress I think my colleagues in the Look North newsroom might understand this one. A stressful job has a direct biological impact on the body, which raises the risk of heart disease. Oh dear. The workers interviewed for this research, who were under fifty and said that their work was stressful, were nearly 70% more likely to develop heart disease than the stress free. Perhaps I should take a leaf out of The Good Life and give up work and start an allotment. Do you think thatll help me become less stressed? Probably not. Id worry if my potatoes werent growing! Insomnia Again, oh dear. Heres another story for me. Sunday is the hardest night of the week to get a good, undisturbed nights sleep. Just Sunday? Its most nights for me. The study consisted of about three and a half thousand adults and nearly 60% said they slept badly on a Sunday night and more than a quarter of them admitted to calling in sick on a Monday after having a dreadful nights sleep. Friday, though, is the best night of the week to sleep well. Well, it would be wouldnt it, with the prospect of a lovely lie-in on a Saturday morning! The blame for a restless Sunday night is because most of us dont tend to do much physical or mental activity during the day and we often have a big Sunday lunch as well thatll lie heavy in our stomachs. So are we supposed to go for a jog on Sunday then and have a salad afterwards to guarantee a good nights sleep before the start of the working week? They dont say! Oh well, back to counting sheep. I hope you have a lovely day today. Its looking lovely and sunny, so lets appreciate it whilst its here!
