Hi there, its Peter here. Tonight on the programme, we'll be on one estate in Grimsby where everyone who lives there is being asked to help catch a couple of brothers, who have been issued with ASBOs. Well get the full story on this for you.
And can you believe this figure? Every week twenty seven pubs are closing across the country, which is the fastest rate ever recorded. We'll be hearing from one community, who are fighting to save their village local. We'll be at Newark cattle market a week after Blue Tongue was found in Lincolnshire and we'll be speaking with farmers to find out how hard they've been hit by the restrictions. We'll have the second in our special report looking behind the wire at our military bases. Today we'll be with the military musicians at RAF Cranwell. And they're the unsung heroes of our fishing heritage - the wives and daughters, who were left behind. We'll be taking a look at a new project, which hopes to reveal the hidden part of our local history. Thats all on BBC One at half past six. I hope you can join me then. Spoilt Brats I read that teachers are becoming more and more concerned at the growing number of spoilt children misbehaving in the classroom. They say that these kids are used to doing only what they want to do at home and are now taking their bad behaviour and tantrums into school. Of course, parents are to blame! Thats what the teachers are saying! But they think parents need more help at learning how to say no to their children and to give them boundaries in their home life. They think this will help children perform better in school as kids actually prefer to have rules set for them as this makes them feel more secure. So there you go. Spoilt children are misbehaving in schools! House Prices We were looking at house prices on the programme again. It certainly is an interesting time were living through at the moment with the threat of a credit crunch. It must be so worrying for so many people though if you own a house. So please keep in touch with me if youre having problems selling your house at the moment. Lots of messages came in last night on the answer phone numbers and into our inbox. Kate emailed in to say, We have had our house on the market for over a year now! We have reduced it by £15,000 and would rather stay put then reduce it any more!! Im sure there are other people thinking the same too. And this gentleman left an answer phone message for me. He said, My house hasnt been flooded, but its been up for sale for three years now. Ive dropped it by £10,000. Its a three bedroom house in lovely surroundings with a park on the east side and a bowling green nearby and its still not going. Three years Ive waited. And this guys frustration is ! repeated yet again by Mr Tolbot from Market Rasen, which just goes to show that many people in our region, and probably across the country, are just as worried and frustrated by the housing market. Mr Tolbot left a message saying, We saw the news and saw the piece about the problems with selling houses. Were having problems selling our house. Were desperate to get back to Scotland to live near our little grand daughter. Its four bedroom house and its been on the market for eight months. We just cant get people through the door to see it even. Id be interested to hear from estate agents too about the subject of selling houses at the moment. We heard last night from one estate agent, who had even started an Easter Sale in order to generate some interest. My email address as always is [EMAIL PROTECTED] I look forward hearing from you. This message has come from a former Independent Financial Advisor. I was interested in his opinion on the matter I would say that the government has encouraged everything. They encouraged people to borrow money when they shouldnt borrow money. And now the crunch is affecting those people, who are paying their bills on time. They are reducing peoples credit limits, even for people who pay things on time. Its good its showing responsibility. But in the past they have been encouraging people to spend more money than they can afford. Thank you for that message. Credit companies are certainly tightening the boot straps at the moment arent they and reducing credit limits and refusing people credit cards or loans, but is it too little too late perhaps? And finally, after all this doom and gloom, Tim Mickleburgh had something positive to say on the subject! I am pleased that house prices are at long last starting to fall, because it might be possible for people on lower incomes to think about being able to buy. At present, houses are much too expensive and are out of reach of ordinary peoples pockets. Thanks Tim for that message and for all the comments on last nights programme. They are much appreciated as always. I hope you can join me tonight for the programme and enjoy your day!
