Hi there, welcome to the start of another week of Levy Letters. Thanks for joining me. On tonight's programme, as a planning application is submitted today for one of the biggest offshore wind farms in the country, we'll have a special report looking at this planned development near Spurn Point.
Also, as motorists struggle with the rising cost of petrol prices, spare a thought for our region's boat owners as they face a double in price on the duty they pay for their red diesel. We'll take a look at what this will mean not only for boat owners, but for the marinas in our region. And after her appearance on America's biggest chat show, we'll welcome 102 year old Nora Hardwick from Ancaster back to the country. Shell be a dab hand at this now. Ill be chatting with her tonight on the show about her experiences in LA. Dot Com Do you sometimes feel like youre missing a trick? An American has made his fortune in the easiest way possible.

He got the idea to sell it after hearing that the web address vodka.com sold for $3 million in 2006. On A Theme >From dot com to superfast broadband!
