Hi there, its Peter here with your Letter. What a morning! People in the newsroom are coming in with tales of dreadful winds last night and this morning, of awful rain and even thunder too. On tonight's programme, we'll take a look at the East Yorkshire commute from hell this morning as gales hit the whole region. We'll take a look at the scale of the damage on homes and businesses and take a look at the disruption to power in many villages in Lincolnshire. And of course, Paul will have the forecast for us as usual.
Also tonight, as one national supermarket announces plans to use wind turbines to power its Hull store, well be investigating what this will mean for shoppers. We'll meet Charlie the Cat, who hitched a ride all the way to Norfolk. After being missing for five weeks, he was finally reunited, although somewhat thinner for his travels, with his owners from Kingswood. Theyre extremely thankful to school children in Norfolk, who spent loads of time distributing posters to help find Charlie. Well have this intrepid cats story tonight! They lost their bottom of the table match on Tuesday night. Find out how Lincoln City are preparing for their weekend fixture as they struggle against relegation. And we'll meet the Lincolnshire man, who's bought himself a little bit of TV history. If you're out and about in Sutton on Sea or Mablethorpe, then you may think you've stepped back in time. We'll meet the proud owner of the Ford Cortina, which starred in the BBC's Life On Mars series. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me. Leave It To Levy We had a bit of a Leave It To Levy story last night where we tried to find a conductor for the Market Weighton Handbell Ringers. Any takers? Anybody interested in joining that group? Well, get in touch with me if you do. And heres another plea that Id like to help with. Mrs Carruthers phoned up to ask if we could put a call out about this. Mrs Carruthers lives in Leicestershire, but shes lost touch with a couple, who she believes lives in our area. Mrs Carruthers has looked after a friends son, Charles Martin and his brothers, for many years after Charles parents both died from cancer. Charles aunt and uncle, Sam and Lynne Cook are believed to live in this area and Charles would love them to be at his forthcoming wedding. So if Sam and Lynne are reading the Levy Letter today, or if any reader knows them, then get in touch with me. Ill try and get you in touch with the family, because Charles would love you to be at his wedding! Lets hope we can help with that! Beadles About Really sad news this morning about Jeremy Beadle. Hed been diagnosed with leukaemia and then cancer in 2005, but had remained strong throughout, but he died aged just fifty-nine after, what has been described, as a short battle with pneumonia. So sad to hear that news this morning. He had in fact been dubbed the most hated man in Britain after his hugely successful series, Beadles About where he relished playing practical jokes on unsuspecting members of the public and on celebrities as well. Of course, that was all an act and he was in fact a very genuine and hard working guy. Despite being ill, Jeremy had still released three new books and had been working on new programme formats as well. I also remembered this morning that he made his name in the programme Game For A Laugh from 1981 can you remember that? He starred, along with a number of presenters, with BBC Radio Lincolnshires Martin Daniels. So its very sad to hear of the news about Jeremy our thoughts ! are with his family. Well, that's it from me for now. Thanks for reading the Letter today. I hope youre well. Dreadful weather at the moment, so take care if youre on the roads today. I know that the Humber Bridge was closed to high sided vehicles this morning, because of the high winds, so be careful on the roads. If see any good photograph opportunities, which highlight our bad weather, then take a few snaps for us. Of course, please make sure its safe to take a picture first, dont put yourself in any danger by taking these photos, but if you see a good shot, then send it in to us. Its the usual address of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Oh and I hear that Im in trouble! Paul Whittaker from Withernsea read the letter yesterday. I was talking about depression and unhappiness peaking once you reach forty-four! Well Paul disagrees Peter, you sure know just how to cheer people up - NOT. I was born in 1964 which will make me forty-four this year. I am not going to get depressed! Thanks a lot. Oops! Well, Im a couple of years older, give or take a few years here or there, and Im not going to get depressed either! Thanks Paul!
