Hi there, its Peter back with your Letter today. It's good news for our region's economy as we report that Corus in Scunthorpe have just won a major contract from the MOD to supply the steel for new Royal Navy warships. Well be in the town today to see what itll mean for the thousands of workers at the site.
And they're back home from their tour of duty - as hundreds of troops are due to fly into RAF Waddington today, we'll be there to see their families welcome them back home. Tonight on the programme, well be speaking with the Mablethorpe man, who claims he was let down by Lincolnshire Police after the death of his son. Well have his story tonight for you. And they're Wembley bound! We'll take a look back at how Grimsby Town beat off Morecombe in the final of the Johnstone Paint Trophy in their biggest match in ten years. Plus Look North will have a preview behind the scenes of a former cold war nuclear bunker as they prepare to open for the Easter tourism season. Thats all tonight on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. Dirty Laundry Talk about airing your dirty laundry in public! A woman scorned certainly is a force to be reckoned with. A Canadian TV pundit and the co-founder of an online encyclopaedia have very publicly aired their relationship break-up over the Internet. The TV pundit logged on to her computer to discover that she had been dumped over the Internet by her now ex-boyfriend posting a note on her public profile to that effect. And in response, the TV pundit very quickly started selling his clothes on an Internet auction site. His T-shirt, complete with stubborn stains, had reached more than £150, while bids on his jumper were soaring past £200! Thats not bad is it! Alternative To A Burglar Alarm? Talk about a woman scorned how about this one! A Nottinghamshire man has just got a bit too fed up with arsonists attacking his business site, that hes gone to rather unorthodox measures to protect its perimeter. The usual security fencing, motion-sensor lights and CCTV cameras have failed to deter these persistent arsonists, so this business owner has reverted to some technology left over from his previous career as a travelling showman. Not many of us would have a thirty foot catapult to hand would they or a cannon, which once was used to fire his wife across the River Avon! But these are now being used to protect his premises with the catapult being loaded with chicken poo from a nearby farm! Well, thats one way to deter vandals! Thats it from me. Take care and enjoy your day today.
